Whole9Life put together an nice article containing an “elevator pitch” for paleo advocates:
Nutrition in 60 Seconds
I eat real food – fresh, natural food like meat, vegetables and fruit. I choose foods that are nutrient-dense, with lots of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, over foods that have more calories but less nutrition. And food quality is important – I’m careful about where my meat, seafood and eggs come from, and buy organic local produce as often as possible.
This is not a “diet” – I eat as much as I need to maintain strength, energy, activity levels and a healthy body weight. I aim for well-balanced nutrition, so I eat both animals and a significant amounts of plants. I’m not lacking carbohydrates – I just get them from vegetables and fruits instead of bread, cereal or pasta. And my meals are probably higher in fat than you’d imagine, but fat is a healthy source of energy when it comes from high-quality foods like avocado, coconut and grass-fed beef.
Eating like this is ideal for maintaining a healthy metabolism and reducing inflammation within the body. It’s good for body composition, energy levels, sleep quality, mental attitude and quality of life. It helps eliminate sugar cravings and reestablishes a healthy relationship with food. It also works to minimize your risk for a whole host of lifestyle diseases and conditions, like diabetes, heart attack, stroke and autoimmune.

Well, I suppose this can be crossed off my bucket list.
What is it? Well, I don’t have a name for it… perhaps a description will do:
1. One Krispy Kreme donut
2. One 5-Guys single bacon cheeseburger, no bun
3. Another Krispy Kreme donut.
How was it? Not bad at all! Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be repeating it. Here’s the breakdown:
2 x Donuts: 400 Calories
1 x Patty: 280 Calories
1 x Cheese: 70 Calories
2 x Bacon: 80 Calories
TOTAL: 830 Calories ( I didn’t eat fries or a sugar drink )
cheers.
Yep, that’s a new word i learned tonight. I say new word, as it’s both new to me and evidently young etymologically.
hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (uncountable)
From hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian, an extension of sesquipedalian with monstrum “monster” and a truncated, misspelled form of hippopotamus, intended to exaggerate the length of the word itself and the idea of the size of the words being feared; combined with phobia.
Lag… making fools of revisionists everywhere!

Commuter’s Rainbow.
EPIC FAIL.
I dare you to do worse than this!!
So…the wife asked me about twitter. She’s up to speed on facebook and the like, but wasn’t quite sure what the tweet buzz was all about.
It was then that we decided to take a quick survey of douche-tastic names on twitter… here’s our top 5:
