The Pub - Belph's Battle with Anorexia

[rikwebb]

I just finished cooking up a few meals of stir-fried chicken rice and veg. Having a hot bowl of oats with dates in it and a protein bar for my dinner now. I have mild food envy at myself for what I will be having in the next few days.

Know what would be great? Protein hot chocolates. I wonder if I can use chocolate protein powder with a barista machine to make a good hot chocolate that I don't have to feel bad about drinking.

I know its BB.com but

Are they filming a feminine product commercial you are unaware of?

Eating left over hamburger for breakfast. So good.

Someone else jokingly said Mentos commercial.

It will probably curdle the protein powder. Did it to me when I tried to make hot protein coffee.

Lower quality whey will curdle in hot liquid. That same whey also clumps in cold temps. Thusly being quite poor and useless.

I guess I've just never used a low enough quality powder. I mix coffee and protein all the time.
One of our members owns a local coffee shop and actually started selling a cold-brew coffee protein mix. Its pretty bangin.

Quick Tinder story.

Used to take my time, swipe right for good ones, left for bad. Had maybe 2 matches in three months, both of which were horrendous fat chicks.

Last 3 weeks I've been just swiping right constantly, don't even look at the screen, just go until out of people. Got maybe 20 matches so far. Of those, only 3 looked human. Sent some messages, 2 no replies, but the third has been talking and we've been chatting.

21 year old half-Iranian chick who used to Thai box and trains - crossfit style body. Dad is a property developer so she runs businesses/properties. She'll inherit the empire one day and has plans to grow the business. Downside is a vegan but not elitist.

Tinder really delivered, but I haven't really got a chance with this chick so what's the point? She's way out of my league, got her shit together and is going to be a success it seems, whereas my only goal is to save up enough money to quit my job and train BJJ full time for 3-6 months. Didn't think there were chicks of that calibre on there, hopefully I can get someone a bit more on my level but it just shows that online dating has some gems.

Is tinder a-uh..."dating" site?

 

[Obscure Terror]

In the loosest term. Minimal profile, tick yes if you like the look, no if you don't. Might list their Facebook interests so you can see if you have in shit in common. For example we both liked the Pantera fan page on Facebook so it shows a common interest.

It's quite a unique model, because you can't even begin a conversation unless you both say yes to each other based on looks. Some people think that's shallow but I see it as honest.

Intradesting.

Rainbow in the dark was just playing. My youngest son was dancing around to it with a serious look on his face.

Because he knows Dio is serious business?

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

I don't think he's ever heard Dio before. He's just turned one.

Getting the Dio in early is always good! \m/. I've had AC/DC, Van Halen, Queen and Def Leppard and others ingrained since birth.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

My sister listened to Metallica and Judas Priest, my mom listened to Zeppelin and Dwight Yokum and my brother listened to The Offspring and Pennywise.

I got quite a mix as a boy.

 

[Dan O]

One of my athletes has not had the same kind of luck with tinder.

Nothing but fiascoes. Entertaining as hell though.

Good luck OT. Sounds like wife material.

 

[KidAlchemy]

So she has a rich family? And you want to train BJJ full time?

Am I the only one who sees this?

 

[DrBdan]

KidA is right, sounds like the perfect match if you can convince her that "full-time BJJ practitioner" is a legit occupation. Do top-level BJJ guys get much money from sponsors and/or doing well in major competitions?

 

[golvmopp]

Tom Cruise gets killed over and over. What's not to like?:icon_lol:

Hey, I can forgive him losing his shit and being a scientologist - the man is a real life large-caliber alpha both on and off-screen as described by anyone who interacts with him.

Also - Obscure Terror's probably fucked on his chances with the chick. Not because of his professional stature and ambitions (or self-described lack thereof), but because he sees himself as inherently inferior to her. Dude, you can't sell yourself short like that. If anything, you're a dreamer in a positive sense - opting out of the rat-race and following your true interest. And instead you portray yourself as a fuckin' deadbeat? Come on.

No, they don't. Even the very top level guys have to do seminars all over in order to bring in the $$. It's unfortunate.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

Mark Bell and Jesse Burdick married up. Lock it up before she makes a realization. And have some confidence, man.

A boyhood friend of mine did that. Hooked up with a girl who was happy to pay for him to spend half his time in Brazil learning BJJ. I guess that was in the mid 90s. He stuck at it, got his blackbelt, eventually went to some sort of Gracie thing, and somehow go their agreement to turn his club in England into a Gracie Barra with him as one of the instructors.

 

[Dan O]

My most recent lady friend cited "you'll never make as much as me" in her lists of reasons for telling me to kick rocks.

Everything else was pretty normal. That was a first. Deep burn.

Today on the job I saw this book by Eoin Colfer called "Plugged" and recognized him as the writer of Artemis Fowl which I've read few of. This one though was a book for adults and I started reading it found it really good.

Here's the description;

Dan, an Irishman who's ended up in New Jersey, finds himself embroiled in a world of murder, kidnapping and corrupt cops. Dan works as a bouncer in a seedy club, half in love with hostess Connie. When Connie is murdered on the premises, a vengeful Dan finds himself embroiled in an increasingly deadly sequence of events in which his doctor friend Zeb goes mysteriously missing, a cop-killing female cop becomes his only ally, and he makes an enemy of ruthless drug-dealer Mike Madden. Written with the warmth and wit that make the Artemis Fowl novels so irresistible, though with additional torture and violence, PLUGGED is a brilliant crime debut from a naturally gifted writer with a huge fanbase.

lol. The best part is that if the roles were reversed (i.e. you made more money) you would immediately be labelled sexist/misogynist.
