There are so many disturbing things about this photo I am at a loss for words.

This reminds me of those weird combinations we sometimes see….like laundry and tan, bait shop and pizza carry-out, tunafish and cigarettes, etc.

Musical gourds from Africa and India, such as drums, lutes and sitars have beautiful, polished finishes decorated with beads and carved designs.
But of all the uses for gourds, some of the most interesting are the “penis sheath gourds” worn by men of New Guinea. Penis gourds are also known from Africa and northern South America. There is considerable speculation among anthropologists about the purpose of such gourds, but most agree that they are more than a protective device and serve an important social function.
If you have not read my previous entry about Alli, click here first.….I just have more to say…
So, I had to go on the Alli website to confirm this “poop your pants” theory. In THREE different places on the site, they confirm what I feared to be true.
From the “side effects” section:
Oily stools. As the Alli weight loss pill reduces the production of an enzyme in the intestine, which converts fatty dietary elements into fatty acids, some fat from digested food may not be processed. As a result the body will find a way to release basic fat content from the body, usually excreted naturally. Due to the nature of the left over substances, stools can often appear oily and emit an unfortunate odour.
Flatulence. Another means by which the body has been known to release unwanted waste is by flatulence. While this is a totally natural and harmless release, it can prove potentially embarrassing and uncomfortable as the customer may not have full control of their bowels at all times.
From the FAQ’s section:
Are There Any Serious Side Effects?
Extensive trials and research have shown that there are no serious side effects, although many patients will experience some rather uncomfortable side effects which include :
Oily stools.
Increased flatulence.
Bouts of sudden bowel movement.
From the Pros and Cons section:
Cons of Alli Pills
While the pros far out way the cons for Alli users, the basic process of reducing the body’s intake of fatty acids means that additional unused fat content from the user’s diet needs to be removed from the body. The fat is therefore excreted from the body which can result in a number of mild side effects including :
- “loose” or “oily” stools, with a distinctive aroma.
- Increased flatulence, which can obviously cause discomfort.
- Frequent and unpredictable bowels movements, which may sometimes be out of the patient’s control, if they persist with a high fat content diet.
OK……so, in conclusion:
“Usually excreted naturally”; “Unfortunate odour”; “May not have full control”; “Bouts of sudden bowel movement”; “A distinctive aroma”
You can’t make this stuff up people. This is pure comedy gold…AND…its happening to portly people everywhere. THAT’s no joke.
Recently, Bunny and I were strolling through a local department store, when we walked past the women’s lingerie department. Now, neither one of us were comfortable “browsing” this area, so we hurried passed. But low and behold, we look over to a picture hanging on the wall. Immediately we burst into laughter - well, because we both have the sense of humor of a 4th grade girl. You can see the portrait above.
First, let me set the stage for you. This shopping “mall” is a bit…well, ghetto. For example, in the place of a trendy “teen wear” store, we instead had been browsing an ethnic home goods store, full of Native American statues and golden swords embellished with the Great American White Wolf.
Now that you have a feel for the situation, I would like to think about the person who picked out the above image. There was once a person hired to decorate said department store. He/She had picked out several scenic portraits for the shoe department, a few masculine-type pictures featuring the back of a golfer for the men’s wear department, etc. Then came time to assess the lingerie department. He/She searched high and low for just the right picture. It had to be calming, yet sophisticated. After, I’m sure, WEEKS of searching, the department store art buyer came across this painting we see above.
I leave it to your comments to assess his/her decision. Meanwhile, I will continue giggling.
T minus 18 days and counting until this masterpiece of a movie hits the big screens. I see Oscar written all over this thing.
Meet Manual Uribe, he weighed in at 1,234 lbs (that is 560kg for you Canadians / rest of the world) in 2006.
He owns the world record for the fattest man in the world. Ironically, Manuel went ahead and called dibs on another world record recently. He lost 440 lbs, which makes him the skinniest person in the world the record holder for the most amount of weight lost.
Alright, enough of history class Gabone, lets get to looking at this picture. If it were not for the conveniently placed sheet, this poor fellow would be hanging out there for the world to see. He must have great friends and family that invite the media over for the photo shoot, then leave him sprawled out in bed naked. Great friends indeed.
I ask you. Is there any hair style on the planet better than this one? Do you suppose the white wire actually connects her to some sort of power supply which then starts the propeller? Is it possible that she can actually get airborne? Because if that’s the case, I haven’t been more impressed by a hairstyle since Bunny posted the mushroom lady.
