The Fat Lady Sings ...

Do you suppose the original "fat lady" was offended when people called her fat & told her to sing? Who/what made that line famous?

Actually, that's a rhetorical question - I think the fat conversation's reached it's peak. Y'all go on & talk about it if you want, but here's a little ditty (yeah, I know, you hate that) for anybody who's ready for something else.

There were these young people who were forced to go to the opera. They didn't like it and were squirming in their seats wanting to leave when one of them said it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

ROSE said...

LOL OOPS! ... This has been a test of the Does Anybody Ever Click These Links ... teeheehee

LOL Thanks, Smiley!

(By the way I didn't really sing. I just hummed a little.)

I heard the fat lady sing and hum on the last topic page. Yep I am one of them thar obese ppl but your not going to hear me crying bout the "spilt milk". I stopped buying that also along with sugar and many other items that ppl think they got to have but can do without just fine. I can loose the weight just fine 'over time' but sit down and do nothing and it takes exactly 5 weeks and its back again. I am getting so I like fat ppl but I have never liked "cry babies" so just get over it. When I see a young woman jump onto them carts and ride around the store on sundays just makes me wonder. I know a lady in here ninetys and she says them carts are not meant for ppl her age and will blow up if you try to get her to get on one. Thank heavens they have them there to use and thank heavens the younger ones use them. Myself if I get to where I can't walk around the store or park across the parking lot and walk to the store I got one place left to go. HOME and thats where I will be.

But where would we put the toy's with her Big butt in the back seat?

ROSE said...

Pfffft, LBS, everybody knows the toys all magically shrink to fit anywhere. Which makes me think Santa & the Mrs. were never really unhappy with their statures or surely they'd have taken a quick trip through the Shrink-O-Rama Machine.

Maybe posting these 2 news blurbs on the fridge will help somebody somewhere stay upright on 2 feet as they trek through WalMart ...

Todd Haley, assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys, is suing his local McDonald's after his wife and the family's live-in babysitter found a dead rat in their salad--after they had started eating it. Christine Haley and Kathryn Kelley purchased the salad on June 5 at a McDonald's in Southlake, Texas and took it home to eat it. The lawsuit claims that the women started eating the salad and then found the rat, something that caused them both to become violently ill. They allegedly endured long-lasting physical injuries. The lawsuit, which has been filed in state district court, seeks $1.7 million damages. The 6-inch-long rodent, which is probably a juvenile roof rat, was found in the salad on its back with its mouth open.

Twelve-year-old Jasmine Roberts's middle school science project won first place in the from Benito Middle School Science Fair. Tampa Bay Online reports that Roberts examined the amount of bacteria in the ice served at fast food restaurants and the amount of bacteria in the toilet bowl water in those same restaurants. The toilet bowl water was cleaner 70 percent of the time. The bacteria in the ice included fecal coliform or E. coli, which can only come from the feces of warm-blooded animals.

Exactly how big was this salad that a 6 inch long rodent wasnt found until *after* they began eating? Maybe they were blind...? Wonder if that was on the braille menu?

Just got back from elk view, stoped at Mcd's and asked one of the girl's how big one of there salads was. She said a pretty good size salad is about 8 to 10 inch container. Then I told them about a story on the internet, and did'nt get any more answers out of them.

ROSE said...

I'd be interested in knowing how finding a rat in a salad translates into $1.7 million & "long term physical injuries." They didn't actually eat the thing.

Waiter there's a rat in my salad. (Waiter) no charge for the meat.

Lawyers got to eat too. $1.7 buys a lot of lawyer food. Wonder if BF would eat lawyer meat?
