Back in 92, my mom bought this stuff for a party so no one would make a stain if they spilled it. I also remember getting free cans at shopping malls.

I'm waiting for Pepsi, Chunky style.

Chunky

what's up with the chunky editing? every few seconds a skip.

Actually, I play WOW as well, so UsesProzac and I will be able to continue our love affair in game (actually no, it's very doubtful we play on the same server).

Never played an MMORPG in my life. Probably never will. But, although I will be sad to see you leave, you big nerd, I am sure Sarzy is not. Won't you blow him a kiss before you leave (and not the chunky kind from your wazzit, if you get my meaning).

Looks like he's getting a little chunky around the middle, Joaquin. Casey is the better actor of late IMO, but in this case I think Joaquin might have one upped him.

I find it funny "chunky" and "tubby" are in the tags.

Do you know how it feels? *SLAP K0MMIE

First the porn music, the slow pan, the close-up on old books then the pistoning shaft of the scanner pumping between wide-spread pages. Here comes a chunky tome to prove the machine does fatties.
Was that intentional or have I developed a disturbing new fetish? Both?

Not to mention he's a bit of a fat ass himself. Chunky boy.

Yah, but that's just by European standards.

I'm no health nut... i think working out is boring unless you can do it on the Wii and i really like food and beer, So I guess I'm a tad like Ricky Gervais, which I think is normal. Unless I goto an H&M store, the last time I was there I grabbed a medium, my usual size and tried it on. I felt like doing my own "fat guy in little coat" routine in the changing room.

By his definition, some obsessive-compulsives just REALLY like to be clean and epileptics just want to get their groove on.

Reminds me of one millstone of a roommate I had, a smarmy spoiled-rotten 22-y/o who had never lived away from mommy and daddy. Only instead of using my toothpaste he constantly ate my food off my shelf in the fridge and wouldn't clean any dishes or anything else. It drove me fucking nuts and over a period of months I patiently went through varied attempts at asking him, then reasoning with him, then telling him, then demanding him to stop the eating and start the cleaning. He would merely say "OK" and stay the exact same course; he used to lie through his teeth.

After awhile I was repeatedly on the verge of telling him it was time for us to step outside for a manners lesson. I probably should have -- even though there was no guarantee that I would've taken him if we actually fought; he was chunky but he also lifted a lot of weights. I also hadn't wanted our apartment to be a place where we resorted to violence, but looking back, it was pretty damn intolerable for me already and who knows, the situation might've improved. Yes, and it might have gotten even worse, too.

There was other stuff too, as you can imagine, but suffice it to say I would've been overjoyed if he rolled back to merely using my toothpaste.

Isn't that the football guy whose Mom makes the whole team Chunky soup?

Hmm, I'll take a shot at it.

I blame it all on birth control. First hormonal birth control appeared in the 1960's; give it a few years to get it perfected and popular then.... POOF - In the seventies, (from the first article above): "The SYF lifestyle first appeared in primitive form in the U.S. during the seventies, after young women started moving into higher education, looking for meaningful work, and delaying marriage." What, might you ask, does birth control have to do with the explosion of women venturing into higher education, meaningful work, and delaying marriage? They gained the ability to control their fertility cycles. This allowed women to drastically change their role in society. (Remember the recent TV ad for Always pads where the little African girl can stay in school? Very much like that, but take it to the next level.) Now, it is so much easier for women to make long-term commitments required for a PhD or a successful corporate job without the worry of getting pregnant. The nation's obesity problem can also be blamed on birth control, since no longer is the woman's role in society to stay home and cook nutritious meals for the fam. Hell no, she's out gettin' paid like everyone else! Thus, corporate America cooks more of our meals instead (and in large portions of high calorie density, since it makes economic sense for them), and we get chunky. But I digress - back to the New World Woman, with her higher education and even higher salary. Then, as the first article states: she'll "move from their native village or town to Boston or Berlin or Seoul because that’s where the jobs, boys, and bars are—and they spend their earnings on themselves." Birth control also means women require less of a commitment before sex, and, as the second article points out (not that it had to), the men are perfectly okay with this, and take full advantage. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anything in either of these articles that isn't an effect of either birth control or its impact on society.

"because smallpox was eradicated by a vaccine."

If you think smallpox has been completely eradicated, think again...

"In Joe Esposito's lab, at the Centers for Disease Control, there was a test going of a biosensor device for detecting smallpox. It was a machine in a black suitcase. It could detect a bioweapon using; the process called the polymerase chain reaction, or P.C.R. -- the same kind of molecular fingerprinting that police use to identify the DNA of a crime suspect. The suitcase thing was called a Cepheid Briefcase Smart Cycler, and it had been co-invented by M. Allen Northrup, a biomedical engineer who founded a company to make and sell biosensors. He was there, along with a cluster of other scientists.

Esposito, the official guardian of one half of the world's official supply of smallpox, handed a box of tubes to a scientist in the room. Two of the tubes contained the whole DNA of smallpox virus but not live smallpox. The DNA drifted in a drop of water; it was the Rahima strain. Two other tubes contained anthrax. The samples were snapped into slots in the machine.

Northrup turned his attention to a laptop computer that nestled in the machine. Northrup is a chunky man with a mustache and reddish-brown hair. He tapped on the keys.

We waited around, chatting. Meanwhile, the Cepheid was working silently. It showed colored lines on its screen. In fifteen minutes, the anthrax lines started going straight up, and someone said, "The anthrax is screaming." Finally, one of the smallpox lines crept upward, slowly. "That's a positive for smallpox, not so bad," a scientist said. Emergency-response teams could carry a Cepheid suitcase to the scene of a bioterror event and begin testing people immediately for anthrax or smallpox. The machine is priced at sixty thousand dollars.

Afterward, Joe Esposito went around collecting the used tubes. The smallpox-sample holder -- a plastic thing the size of a thumbnail-had been left on a counter. I picked it up.

Esposito wasn't about to let anyone walk off with smallpox. "Leave me that tube," he said. "You are not allowed to have more than twenty per cent of the DNA."

Before I handed it to him, I glanced at a little window in the tube. When I held it up to the light, the liquid looked like clear water. The water contained the whole molecules of life from variola, a parasite that had colonized us thousands of years ago. We had almost freed ourselves of it, but we found we had developed a strong affinity for smallpox. Some of us had made it into a weapon, and now we couldn't get rid of it. I wondered if we ever would, for the story of our entanglement with smallpox is not yet ended."

It might return sooner than you think thanks to bio-weaponized technology... also a few cases have popped up since 1977.

But yes, there are people in costumes in tourist areas. I've once seen a chunky Spider-Man in Montreal whistlin' and dancin in -15 degree Fahrenheit weather
