Replytoo funny it only goes to prove how truely lazy some people can be.i'm sure there are two guys sitting in a basement somewhere in his buddys moms house doing that very same thing.while playing world of warcraft.
ReplyAnd you are a great athelete with a buff bod who doesn't sit behind a computer making comments on a diet blog?
My mother's basement is very comfortable, I'll have you know, and my mother is a saint!
And before the tomatoes start flying, let the record show that I, a self-proclaimed jackass, am being facetious here. Because snap judgments are also lazy.
ReplyOh god.. World of Warcraft... That use to be my downfall. I put on so much weight playing that damn game. Now I've kicked the addiction and I'm trying to stay as active as possible.. I feel sorry for people that play that game..
ReplyI used to play WoW but then I realized instead of buffing up an online character with cool abilities, I could actually do this to myself in real life. So I started to learn Martial Arts and started competing and actually winning events. I just has my 1st Amateur MMA fight last weekend. A lot more rewarding than a computer game. I still play video games off and on though, just not hardcore.
ReplyI loved World of Warcraft. I didn't play enough to justify the monthly subscription though. Had a marathon bout through a serious case of bronchitis where I was prohibited from moving my fat ass even to go to work. ;) I think I was one of the 6 people who played, enjoyed it, but never got addicted. ;)
ReplyHey now, WOW was a super fun game. My boyfriend and I played it quite frequently. Actually, that is a lie, we were addicts. However, we were opposite when it came to gaining weight, by not moving around and exercising. We lost weight! lol We were so into our "raids" that we frequently forgot to eat something, and when we rememeber we cooked some rice and veggies and called it dinner. We did however stop playing recently due to more demanding jobs. (and gained weight!! go figure)People that do have an abundance of time tend to be younger adults I found. Such as high school people, and college students with no work. It also makes you not want to do any housework. heh. Neat cartoon though.
