The Low Oil Diet * What’s Up With That, Gosh Darn It? *

The Low Oil Diet is America’s key to losing weight. It turns out there is a direct connection between obesity and the annual consumption of commercial primary energy of countries. First, see this table from the International Obesity Task Force website:

Then, note this chart of the Energy consumption per capita – 2001 from the Globalis website.

We need to stop our consumption of fossil fuels to help get our tummies back under control. It’s a worldwide epidemic and it’s time to take action. Write your Congressman today asking for the new alternative in the weight watching world. You won’t even have to try to lose weight as all the products and lifestyles you know that allow it will vanish. The Low Oil Diet is the one true way to get all of America thin and beautiful again.

Turin vs. Torino * What’s Up With That, Gosh Darn It? *

What’s up with English speaking countries calling the town of Torino, Italy, Turin? I know the Olympics are almost over but how ignorant do you think we are? If this doesn’t bother the city folk, it seems ignorance must be welcomed by all of our sophisticated western culture. Is saying Turino really that much harder than Turin? You can see on the official website for the 2006 Olympics it is called Torino. Where as on our American networks like AOL it is called Turin. Anyway, what the heck is up with that, gosh darn it?

The Trucker Hat…What’s Up With That, Gosh Darn It?

” The craze started after Justin Timberlake was spotted wearing a Von Dutch hat to a Grammy after-party. Fred Durst, Ashton Kutcher, Britney Spears and other celebrities quickly followed suit, and the hats were quickly snatched off shelves while still warm.” This quote is taken from a Hilary Magazine article you can find here.

OK, Ashton Kutcher may be from Iowa, but what’s up with that? Isn’t strange how one dude can wear a hat and it becomes a national phenomena. This reminds me how strange the times we live in really are. Sure, it’s just a hat, but think about how much celebrities effect how people see themselves. In this case a piece of the blue-collar farming world has been imported into the realm of the rich and famous.

I think this fad is pretty much out of popularity now. There apparently was quite a backlash to the style as you can see on this blog.

Anyway, what’s up with that, gosh darn it?
