Summations Only

Ummm, yeah! I'm with you Oni. When nature has said we are done, we should NOT fight it.However, try telling that to my six year old niece with OPERABLE cancer. How dare she go against god's plan and hope to go on living, in the process bankrupting her money-loving republican family. That selfish little bitch!NATURE H A S SPOKEN! (Kidding, K I D D I N G !)(Oni, whadup? Where is my favorite co-tin-foil-hat-wearing, admirer-of-girls, Chomsky-loving, humanitarian-about-town, lover-of-life-food-music-girls, did-I-mention-girls?, funny comedian this morning? Have you gone over to the dark side? Have you become a Presbyterian? Say it aint so Oni! Say it aint sooo *dronester breaks down, weeps inconsolably into his BK double bacon cheeseburger*

BK is delivering the garden salad with large fries and a shake as we speak (thanks for the tip about BK delivering). God help them if they forget the croutons!(I am kidding about the niece-cancer scenerio. Jeez.)HEY, THIS IS MY 500th post! Percy release the balloons!Edited by dronester, : No reason given.

Indeed, I think I accidentally Poed myself! (You'd think I was a little too old for that kind of "accident")

I am not educated enough on "Mass-balance nutrition" to debate anyone on the subject, but it seems Molbiogirl is quite knowledgeable: Side Orders ⇒ The Book Nook ⇒ Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes>She doesn't seem to post very often, but I'd find the thread VERY interesting if the thread could be re-activated. Especially how different cultures (e.g., Chinese and French) consume high calories yet have far less obesity than the usa.

Can some administrator please check to see if Oni's account has been hijacked.

Either Oni has had some type of head-trauma recently or this isn't Oni.

Well, my tinfoil-hat isn't exactly worn for the warmth it provides . . .1. Oni is AGAINST socialized health-care? Oni? Oh c'mon, really? Oni and I are (were) the big liberal-socialists on this forum.
2. Where's the humor? "Oni's" posts are way, way too dark, too serious. His theme "Death to fatties" is sociopathic. The Oni that I know is not a sociopath.
3. Where's the in-between friendly banter. I noted both your and my inside jokes were met with stone-faced replies. It's as if he doesn't remember us.
4. Writing styles. Can't put my finger on it, but his writing style is different. If Oni's name wasn't attached I could imagine his posts were from several other forum participants.
5. Harsh/mean spirited. Even in Oni's most heated moments with Rhain, Oni had jocularity.
6. Oni Explains his current on-stage material is "Kaufman-like." What-the? Quite a radical departure from his life-long stage act.
7. It's a radical departure for Oni to post disingenuously without declaring devil's advocate.
8. As you wrote Oni is "a stoner, a drinker, an ex-nicotine addict, substance abuser and one-time-fatty. Your job involves hanging out in unhealthy environments and you freely admit to past and present sexual promiscuity." This off-the-scale hypocrisy could only be "Kaufman-like."
9. Have you noticed that Oni's name has been online all during the day. Since when does he have so much time on-line during the whole day?
10. "I'll handle my own healthcare thank you very much. At the level I'm working out I'd kick diabetes right in the dick." The real Oni is way more creative/imaginative that that.I maintain the Oni on this thread is an imposter (or his current workout involves way too many mind-altering steroids).Back on-topic . . . Well, actually that people continue to die or go broke from inadequate healthcare in America, it is rather more tragic than just silly. For a first world industrial nation, our infant death mortality is an embarrassment.Edited by dronester, : added: mind-altering steroids
