Yarr. I have heard precious little about Talk Like a Pirate Day this year. Ye scurvy dogs.

I want to see Dexter from Space Ace and Dirk the Daring from Dragon's Lair in the next Smash Brothers.

Hot Take: "W" should be pronounced "Wubble-Doo" so it's starts with the letter that it is

Hotter Take: "W" should be pronounced "Wub" so it's no longer the only multisyllabic letter.

I enjoy that there's a range of body weights - a bit higher than where I'd like to be, but lower than where I've been - that correspond to years I've been around, divided by ten - today's "197.0" is a bit before I was born. And it's better than "201.8" of the current day or times lately where I've been dabbling into the future.

But, I'd like to explore more of, say, American History, weight/year wise than just the time since JFK. Maybe the Civil War.

Fantastic use of greenscreen to warn people about why storm surges are not to be trifled with, and behind the scenes....

Not sure if losing weight (slowly) because of half-assed diet (light breakfast, generous lunch, all other eating during day < 150 calories at a time, like one of those Chilly (not "Skinny") Cow popsicles) or just the stress of life and pangs of fight or flight :-D

Also I restored walking as part of my commute. Again, not sure if it really matters in terms of weight, though obvious more motion is better than less.

Still the best diet plan comes from the book "Chubster: A Hipster's Guide to Losing Weight While Staying Cool" and also "The Hacker's Diet": "find a method to hit a daily calorie count without making yourself miserable" I doubt there's an all-in-one for everyone, but so many successful diets boil down to that.
