this really does beg the question: how tall is Elden that he thinks 169 is a bit heavy?

If you’re going to pull out Schrodinger’s Cat, you also need to claim the Heisenberg Principle.

In effect, by measuring your waist’s circumference by noticing your pants are tight, you have increased the accuracy of the measurement of your size and therefore your position. Because of this, Heisenberg’s Principle says you cannot know your momentum (and therefore your mass, and therefore your weight) as accurately.

Those ten pounds? Chalk them up to uncertainty of your quantum bathroom scale.

@MattC…well, dammit, I guess I’m going to just have to suck it up and respect my elder here, aren’t I? Hmmm…and, I suppose, start saving some caysh for a piece of that worm. Happy birthday! I’m celebrating the 12th anniversary of my 30th birthday on Sunday…cheers!

Oh yeah, we can justify anything, can’t we?

Reading this a day late…that sucks as much as weight gain. A couple of comments…I luv reading the comments “almost” as much as Fatty’s blog. Cats don’t have souls, with 9 lives it just becomes time to go.
Fatty’s axiom “you will know before it shows” so true up to a point, then it shows. Seasonal weight gain prior to hibernation, such a bear. Then the calendar throws the holidays at you. “Fatty’s Scale” must always be a sliding one. Can I buy a scale that measures in Stone in the UK ? Seems like such a small number though I do have a problem with the word “stone”. As always Fatty…you rock !

“post-race-3-day-binge”??? You’re much too disciplined for me. I’m on day 5 of my post-Lotoja binge and have no intention of stopping for at least another 3 days…

I’ve been trying to get in shape for a fall foliage tour. Unfortunately my training got me to peak condition in June, and now all the exercise I get is stepping over my scale.

Jeez 169!? You ARE huge. I wore my body out and got mono after finishing the Dirty Kanza 200 and the doctor told me to quit riding, but my life revolves around riding, so ride I will. Although I ride much less and have gotten to 154 which is getting a little big wouldn’t you say? Keep in mind my blog should’ve been named the short cyclist. I’m just a we little man.

@Jenn…I JUST turned FIFTY last week…so it can’t be metabolism…thus, a tapeworm is the only likely explanation. Are you interested in a segment? I hear you can pop off a part and it will regrow.

I’m not kidding you when I say that I CAN (and do) eat whatever I want. A box of Krispy Kreme donuts pops up in the shop? I can take car of that. NO PROBLEM! (not kidding). If you told me that I would be put to death if I don’t gain 10 lbs in the next year…well, you might as well kill me now…it AIN’T gonna happen. I guess I won the lottery in life on this part anyway. My wife can’t STAND to watch me eat. She says it’s not fair. I just know it’s not my fault…we all have our crosses to bear. Mine is that it cost’s a lot to feed me. Curses…what a horrible like I have! (GRIN!)
