As a 25 year old, I'm playing poker in an AC casino. A 60ish man sitting to my left plays a big hand well and takes down a good sized pot, getting an all in call from the 2 seat.

He remarks to me, "God, that's better than sex."
I shoot him a quizzical look.
He expounds, "Well, maybe not at your age, but at mine."

I doubted that then, and Dan Savage helps affirm the hope that my libido will endure even when I'm getting half priced movie tickets.

It is a seashell from nearby shop. The shop was 60ish feet from where this was filmed. This has been debunked for a while now. If you look close you can see the swirl pattern near her ring finger, but you have to be quick.

The American way has been to sell the public what it wants. Supply and demand. If they sold enough cereal bars, if that's what the majority of Americans wanted, they would be on the shelf.

Kids develop dietary habits instilled by their parents. Inuit kids have no trouble chewing whale blubber, whereas it would almost certainly make me vomit. If you let kids eat potato chips, cheetos and oreo cookies from day one, they will develop bad dietary habits.

Americans are also addicted to eating fast and hurriedly. Traveling abroad I'm always amazed by how unrushed a meal is. Even if you are the only one in the restaurant, you can count on a couple of hours for a meal.

It's difficult to store fresh fruit and vegetables for dispensing from a drive thru window.

When I was in New Zealand, everywhere I went all I saw were slim, athletic looking people. I stayed on a sheep farm and the 60ish farmer asked my young son if he wanted to pet a sheep. He grabbed this full grown sheep and slung it on its back and pinned it to the ground. He says "go ahead and scratch its belly."

I was 25 years younger and I thought, "geesh, I couldn't do that."

If there were an international competition between all countries, in which each and every citizen under 50 years of age had to line up and run a 100 meter dash, I'm fairly certain America would finish dead last.

And what can you say about those Hummers (Humblers, as I've heard them called), absolutely ridiculous. I bought a Prius and I recommend it highly.
