Guest Nellie2 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Actually, did you know that it takes more calories to eat and digest a stick of celery than it actually contains!!!!Now if celery was really chocolate in disguise I'd be in heaven!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Actually, did you know that it takes more calories to eat and digest a stick of celery than it actually contains!!!!Now if celery was really chocolate in disguise I'd be in heaven!!! :DNell, I read the same thing about rabbit. Apparently, a group of fur trappers in Alaska (in the old days) decided to make camp near a rabbit warren, on the basis of there was an abundent supply of food. Well despite stuffing themselves silly with rabbit stew, most of them died of starvation (or whatever it's actually called, but you get the gist).Now I'm thinking, in this day of diet crazes and fads, that we have got to be onto a winner here. How about the Rabbit and Celery casserole diet! :blink: Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Oh yeah........ and if we can get the rabbit to eat the celery before we casserole it then we can save ourselves loads of work peeling it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Oh, for xxxxxx's sake, is anyone elsoe slightly p*ssed off with andsomes interminable narcissistic CRAP ?I usually reply with similar banter to that which is handed out to me. I am perfectly happy to be the butt of other peoples humour, and always try to respond in kind. I never take offence, and accept remarks in the same vein in which they are handed out. On three occasions people have felt that they have gone too far with personal jibes, and have sent P.M's, to which I have replied "NOT TO WORRY", I don't take offence to Micky taking. Forgive me if I am wrong, but on this occasion I do detect real bitterness. I am sorry if I have offended your Royal highness. There have been many occasions when I know that you have definitely offended others with bitter remarks, and for the twentieth century, remarkable prudishness, but this is the first time that I have felt the need to reply in this vein. As I have said, if I am wrong then I am sorry, but I don't on this occasion think that I am. The narcissistic crap on this occasion was in response to friendly Micky taking from another forum member. The only reason that I have carried on so long with the narcissistic crap has more often or not been in response to friendly Micky taking. If you prefer that I leave the form then please say so, and if in your role as the most prudish moderator on the forum you wish to delete or moderate this posting then feel free. Just let me know.
