They don’t just commute. They _commute_, man. They go from Brisbane, Australia to Chicago, US so fast that it’s only the latest research showing things can actually move faster than the speed of light that is permitting me to continue to believe everything they say. ---

Wait a minute… I thought they were all in Jackson! Which is funny, because I live nowhere near Jackson but I guess where I did live in MS wasn’t on the map and Jackson was the only city in the state they had available. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > It’s a ridiculously easy trick that I found out from a housewife in my area - how to know what your neighbors are doing. Just send me $10 and I’ll give you all the details. Touche’! 😃 (If you knew my neighbors half as well as I do, you wouldn’t _ **want** _ to know what they’re doing.) :eek: ---

> [@Chef\_Troy](#): > > Don’t forget, the trick can’t just be “ridiculously easy.” It also has to be “weird.” And it should probably have been discovered by a housewife, too. Specifically a housewife (or mom) from your town. It’s even better if trainers hate her. ---

There really _are_ ridiculously easy ways to lose weight people just don’t like them very much. I’ve discovered one that has prompted me to lose about a pound a week since late July with absolutely no effort whatsoever. Step one is to get Lyme disease, step two is to lose your appetite because of step one…I’m sort of surprised that my appetite still isn’t back to normal given I’m fully recovered otherwise, but I don’t miss feeling like I’m starving by dinnertime. Bet a tape worm or malaria would work too 🙂 We’ve got tons of deerticks infected with lyme in my town. I should start a mail order business. ---
