Absolutely right! After every race I have a A&W Papa burger, McDonalds fries, Dairy Queen milk shake & 20 pack of Tim Bits, no exceptions! Well, okay except in Calgary, in which case I try to make it over to Peter's Drive In!

Actually in all seriousness, having tried to diet perfectly, not allowing "bad" food is a recipe for failure. Little miss steps are not the end of the world, just a curve in the plan that may need to be adjusted for.

dd is pretty brilliant.

I don't understand this sentence, can someone explain what "irregardless" means?

Whiners pay rent irregardless if they trained that day or not.

irregardless means regardless - lol






http://news.cnet.com/...8_105-9796217-1.html

1. It's the only word where attaching the "ir-" prefix to the root word has the exact same meaning as the root word: Throwing an "ir-" in front of normal, less bad-ass words that begin with "R" changes the meaning to the opposite of the word. Irrefutable. Irreverent. Irrelevant. Irresponsible. Not "irregardless." It doesn't care what the rules of grammar are. It means exactly the same thing as "regardless," and that's the way it likes it.
   
   
2. Against all odds, against all logic, and (ir)regardless of everyone hating it, it has achieved official word status: How can you not pull for the underdog in this case? "Irregardless" went up against the rules of grammar, stick-by-the-book lexicographers, and the fact that it's a completely redundant word. Didn't matter. Whatever didn't kill it made it stronger. It's the hardest-working word in the dictionary, and it should have earned your respect by now.
   
   
3. Even though it's a word, Merriam-Webster says you shouldn't use it: Can you name another word in the dictionary that the dictionary says you shouldn't use? Even really bad swear words don't have a dictionary-imposed boycott. That just makes me want to use it more.
   
   
4. It simultaneously makes sense and doesn't make sense: You can think of the word in one of two ways: (1) it should mean the opposite of "regardless," or something along the lines of "keeping the facts in regard," or (2) it could mean "regardless of the fact that something is regardless." The latter of the two is like double-super regardless, and it's the meaning I prefer. "Irregardless" really, really doesn't care what the facts are or what you think. It should only be used in extreme circumstances, such as when a course of action is ridiculously counterintuitive. "Irregardless of the fact that you are very thirsty, you should eat this pile of salt." Stuff like that.
   
   
5. It practices what it preaches: Irregardless of the rules of grammar, "irregardless" is a word. It's self-reflexive. It's the exception that proves the rule. It talks the talk and walks the walk. Is there another word like that? No, because "irregardless" is bad-ass. It is a text-based Chuck Norris, roundhouse-kicking everything else in the dictionary into submission.
   
   
6. If you think about it long enough, it will blow your mind: It's the Mobius Strip of words, but it's also packed with Eminem's aggressively apathetic attitude. It's completely unique, completely confusing, and it couldn't give a rat's ass about any of that. It just is what it is. If you don't like it, don't use it."

Thanks. So if it means regardless why not use regardless? It's less typing, effort to say, etc. Plus it makes no sense. In the example sentence about whiners paying rent, just remove the "ir" and it makes sense.

This seems similar to when some people use a phrase "I could care less" when really they mean "I couldn't care less".

I like the Desert Dude list though.

...simple: results. i never looked at weight as a way of measuring progress. do you?

This list was done for me, using word for me. Irregardless is perfect for me frenglish. At LHPTC we don't respect law of english and French either for that matter

Worlds easiest diet

1. If it makes your mouth happy....spit it out.


Or my mothers old family diet that lead to point 1. Buy the kids the shittiest driest, hardest cookies that even the dog would break a tooth on. That way there are always cookies in the house, and no-one gets fat.

Her other plan was "buy the kids a season pass at the ski resort" We were never home to bother her, we only got given a rope of dried figs to eat (try eating frozen dried figs. No matter how many calories they have or how many you can thaw in your cheek and eat, you will never gain weight when it's 25 below!)

I missed the 7:30 cutoff already, but made it by 7:50. It's only been an hour. For the record, I already hate you.

Will report progress.

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Seems like common sense to me, he teaching you to tie your shoes too

Jonnyo, you have seen this photo, under the Desert Dude Diet, what time of day is it proper to consume this delicacy?

Cervelo R3 and Cannondale Synapse, Argon18 Electron Track Bike

Half way through a double century! Carbs, sugar, fruit & fat. With a drizzle of chocolate so no one under fuels like I would if you had to choke down a gel ;) (who invented those things anyway?)

I prefer to think of irregardless as without not having regard. It's the mobius strip or the MC Escher of words.

I also noticed a lot of insurance policies being taken out on this diet plan and I wonder how they made it through underwriting!

Who is that dude?

ALL PLANS SHOULD BE THIS SIMPLE! If not even simpler! My one step walking,running and swimming=SWAGGER! One step for losing weight,fasting(read the"Miracle of Fasting"by Paul Bragg). Any other simple plans?

Interesting that this was the only line that you got hung up on. Did you 'insure' that you are taking in adequate calories every day with Geico or State Farm? Once you get past the grammar the plan will help you lose weight.

where is the laveen high performance training center? (don't tell me laveen, i live here. where 'bouts in laveen.)

thx

Now or in 2013 when that post was made? ;)

Neither. When the original post by jonnyo was made. And mostly I replied to bump it because we mentioned in the unbearable being thread. :)

I see, well I guess I'll have to go read that one now then won't i?

OK, so what happens if you put Starky on this plan? Does he go 7:49? What about if you put Rapp on this plan? He would disappear into aerobic nothingness and become even more aero than humanly possible.

As for the rent part, well, if I whine I would have to pay rent to myself since I own the establishment that I live in!
