I need a pianist for the lounge act of my dreams. If you can play the tunes, we can get the gigs. Are you my ivory tickler?

Here’s a brief news story from the 90s about something brand new you may have heard of. It’s not a truck, but a series of tubes. And you have to watch it to believe it.

I’m really trying very hard not to turn this into a Diet Blog, but I did some astounding math and wanted to share it with you. By my estimates, it’s taken me a full 17 years to gain the 80.5 lbs I’m now in the process of losing. Now, 1 pound of fat stores a whopping 3500 calories. When, over any period of time, you eat 3500 calories more than you burn, you gain 1 pound. Similarly, when you eat 3500 less calories than you burn over any period, you lose 1 pound. That 80.5 extra pounds represents a 281,750 calories surplus I’m currently burning through. Now, if you divide that by 17 years, that’s an extra 16,674 calories per year, or 45 unneeded calories per day. A single greasy delicious hot wing has around 45 calories in it.

I got where I am over the equivalent of ONE EXTRA HOT WING PER DAY FOR 17 YEARS. You’ve been warned.
