The sound of 300 pounds of lard banging against the wall...

"Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the meal at my house
is never complete without this casserole on the table. Everyone
loves this dish, even those who won't touch regular old sweet
potatoes. Try it for yourself and see!

Ingredients:

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Topping:
combine: 1 cup brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
1/3 cup flour
1/2 to 1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup miniature marshmellows

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Boil the potatoes whole until tender. Remove and let cool
completely.

After the potatoes are cooled, put them in a large bowl and
mash them as you would regular potatoes.

Add the rest of the ingredients.

Pour into a large buttered baking dish.

Cover the potatoes with the topping of your choice.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes."

Last night I wasn't home very much, so I didn't hear anything. They were microwaving peach cobbler though.

As for everyone getting so pissy with me... Jesus. I really have no idea what to say. Obviously I annoyed some with those bits and some people then blew them completely the fuck out of proportion. Those of you who chastised me in a civil way, I apologize. The rest of you assholes bitching at me, Go fuck yourselves. And I mean that in a very endearing way.

I suggest entering the kitchen slapping 2 pork chops together and screaming like a porn starlet whilst they are cooking. Just to raise the subject

(this is not to say that ernest's isn't a good suggestion. just that a thread is usually over by the time of the sub-carlin anonymous dicking about.)

(and i feel bad for yancey.)

Yeah, it sucks how this blew up. Oh well.

As to fattism generally, I know there are anti-fattist pressure groups and everything - we *do* appraise based on appearance and that should be combatted whenever possible but STILL, 1am fridge raids are gross (mitigating factor: stoned people DO get the munchies). If the woman really does tip the scales at 300lbs I'd be worried about her health.

Jess, try not to be so touchy about what mall rats say to your girlfriend; I know you love her and karma rewards these people generally.

I have worked with people like you Jess, and if you get into positions of power, you have the ability to rip the spirit out of an organisation, sanitising all forms of wit where posible, in case it offends someone somewhere.

People with good sense of humour have the ability to poke fun at themselves also, and dont take stuff as seriousely as you. And after all your PC talk, you then have a go at someone for being british....I bet you take the Mel Gibson Movies as a history lesson.

If you want to fuck fat, do it, if you want to be fat, be fat, and be happy, and laff back at the thin people who feel sorry for you, because their skin nornally wrinkles prematurerly, and are often constipated, and live their life around the Gym and the Mirror

I am overweight, and I dont give a shit, My friends call me fat bastard, I always take it with a smiling face, and get them back later with a sharp cutting comment, that is very satisfying.

It doesnt matter, its funny, but realise one thing, Fat is beautiful in the eye of the beholder, but Fat people look better in baggy clothes to the majority, therefore just as if I were to go out in a lycra Tshirt, I would get stared / laughed at, your partner will get the same in her cropped top. Dont test the world by being too different, if you cant take the worlds response.

Sing along now lard lovers

I think it's funny and sad that you lot are coming from the AFC Wimbledon board, which offers a pretty good (inspiring, even) lesson in what happens when people don't just meekly take what other people decide they have coming to them and decide to kick up a fuss about how they're treated. Nobody's deleted or censored Yancey's post or anyone else's, it's still there. Plenty of people agreed with it. Jess and others just argued with it and good for them. Oh, sorry, I forgot, "Don't test the world by being too different" - yeah, don't show any spirit, stick to cheap laughs down the pub, mock the weak and brown-nose the strong. "I have worked with people like you" - I'm sure most of us could say the same, David Brent.

Sieg Heil Mr Wallace

Hmmm Can anyone guess what Jess does for a living....answers on a postcard

(sorry, Yancey, you had no way to predict)

Shutting up now.

I am going to use "Fuck Me Like This All Night Long" though, it sounds like something a computer would say. A fat computer.

evil enough for u? i can think of more......

I have a hypothesis that the only PC defense to being called an [x] -ist is "I'M [X]!!!!"

Not:

some of my best friends are [x]
my wife is [x]
my ex-wife is [x]
I used to be [x]
I'm [y] (even where [y] may share some attributes of [x]) but the person could not truthfully say "I'm [x]"

I have tested this hypothesis by forcing myself to say "I'M [x]" whenever someone accuses me of [x] -ism. Often, the result is preposterous, so I then have to deal with the resultant confusion and offense to others. The hope is that these punishments will train me not to say things that offend others gratutitously. (If I insult someone, I like to think that I did so intentionally and with good reason.) So if I say something idiotic, by all means call me on it. Anyway, as usual, that's more than you care to know about me. Byeee!
