Goodness! Albertans should be all anorexic then.

....as cold as it's been here lately, I should have thinned out so much my plastic Ken mound will show again!...
Oh, now who is hitting... below the belt?
so...ummm...Eskimos. or...body type as in long tall skinny Africans where it is hot...and Eskimos. Dunno, they're always bundled up in furs but I've maintained the stereo-type that they're short and squat...for cold temps. and..."brown fat"? eeeeew. Sounds nasty. and "between the shoulder blades" as in...head? heh! fat-head? I wonder how many of these type of articles have appeared in the past...few years. Or how many more will appear, variations on this theme. There was this once, bis sis comes into my room where I'm looking at a map of the world, just standing there dreaming, listening to Donny Osmond on my 8-track...heh!...and big sis puts her finger on the U.S.S.R. and says look how big they are...places her palm on the red out-lined country, transfers the palm of her hand to the U.S.A. Go away little girl! Donny sings as big sis tells me the U.S.S.R. can kick our ass. Not only that...but there's too many people on the planet, she says...what? we're fourth and fifth graders? Where'd she get this info?
Cue the soundtrack to today...some little girl just walked into the little brother's room...what's he got on the wall? probably not pages torn from the Sears Roebuck...ummm...something. A picture of a gland. An onad. (I think there's onads.) Big sis says to her little brother...baby boy, your onad is swimming in white fat, but what you need is brown fat...and to do that, you need to go downstairs and gas mom and dad...then we can play with the temp-thingy hanging on the wall.
I mean, is this propaganda, or what?

Just something I heard and just saying this as a thing of interest-- I think Eskimos prefer being called Inuit. Or at least a faction of the Eskimos do.
Yep, they do. I know many of them. Inuit...the people.
I meant to add, the many many natives I have had as clients, when I managed the homeless shelter here, called themselves Indians...not natives.
I think that there must be some element of truth. It takes me twice as long to warm up as it does to cool down.
Does this mean I'm going to lose the beer belly I've worked so hard to get?
Oh don't be silly... you'll just have to drink faster!
That's good advice. I was worried about having to take in my pants and get a new belt.
And hey... if the heat is turned waaay down, you're whole lounge could be your fridge! (I probably wouldn't worry about making those alterations just yet in that case...)
Turning down the heat means house feels cold, resulting in oven being turned on and baking proceeding in full force. Not so good for weight loss.
Does a bear drink chilled beer in the winter woods?
Uh-oh... I guess that means no pie. *gaaaaaasp*
It's okay.....I'm sure he'll be at my bird feeder come spring.
HA! Spring.............now there's a funny thought.
I've heard this somewhere too - but then if you rev up your metabolism to make your own body heat, it also ages you a bit more rapidly than the norm. Oh, the decisions.... melt more fat and age faster, or keep the curves and the nice skin. There's got to be a better way.
