I agree with BTD.

No, your ass is just punk - the jeans have nothing to do with it.

I don't guess people's weight because I'm bad at estimating such things.

I'm going to add to the "you're not fat" chorus but with this honest statement, since you asked - you are overweight. I'd say an easy majority of the people I know are overweight. We do live in the land of the large milkshake, and most of us don't hunt buffalo or work in the fields, so big surprise, we're not living up to our potentials anymore.

The only reason I'm not overweight is good genetics. I get no credit for it. I eat crap and don't exercise, just like everyone else. I am, however, extremely weak.

Pet Peeve - not being able to run very far at all. Was reminded of this today.

The one thing that annoys me more than people who talk during movies are people who talk during movies on their cell phones.

When I was in college, I was sent to watch a free screening of the movie Antitrust so I could review it for the college newspaper, and unluckily, I was seated right next to a teenage girl who kept yabbering away on her cell phone all during the movie. Granted, the movie wasn't Academy Award material, but still...her rudeness and ignorance drove me nuts!

I was almost tempted to write a rant within my movie review.

Too bad there was a 400 word limit.

Did you get rained on??

The talking during movies is a big problem for me. I refuse to go to the movies with Dawn or any of her offspring. they are incredibly loud. I don't care what movie it was, but her son would always feel the need to ask me 3-4 times when it was going to be over. They went yesterday to the dollar theater to see Cars. I refused. I will wait for it to be on DVD and watch it at home, without the excess noise.

I hate movies with good ideas that are executed poorly. And I REALLY hate movies that are built on good ideas, keep me interested for most of the movie, then fall to crap at somewhere in the middle or at the end. I'd almost rather watch a movie that's bad from beginning to end.

Pet peeve.. people waiting until the last minute to confirm plans. I'm not talking about major money/time consuming plans nor am I talking about making sure one doesn't have to work or check and make sure nothing is conflicting. I am talking about something simple mentioned a few days before and the only reason people wait is to make sure nothing better comes along.

Really annoying.

Pet peeve...

People who spend $100 bucks per person on Front of the Line passes, then get up to me and ask "So, what are these, anyway?" - Then after I go through an entire spiel of how they can use them at EVERY ride and EVERY show, without fail they ask "So we can use these at the rides, too, right?" Oh how I've wanted to use those cardboard passes to slit somebody's throat...

Alex,

It occurs to me that as our waistline grows, our definition of "fat" has grown with it. I reacted the same way as others here, and wouldn't call you fat. Overwieght perhaps. But you carry it well.

It use to be that there was two catigories, fat and thin. Now I think there is overwieght, chunky, fat, portly (which could be any one of the first three), and obese. Also, their are a few in the Grossly Obese area (like the 700 lb. man).

I'm currently about 25 lbs. over wieght because of my accident and surgery. I've been sitting around so much. I would consider that overwieght. But really, in the end it is all symantics, and how you feel about yourself. And I don't consider someone fat until they are at least 50% over their ideal weight (I.E. a 200 lb. man wieghing 300lbs).

But Wop? Nig? Where the heck are these guys from, Watts? Sorry to hear you had to be in the presence of such slime of the Earth......
