Title: Missing the point.

Quote
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- A Florida woman said her love handles saved her life when she was shot entering an Atlantic City bar. Samantha Lynn Frazier said she heard two pops when she walked into Herman's Place early Saturday. The 35-year-old then felt pain and saw blood on her hand after she grabbed her left side. Atlantic City police said Frazier was an innocent bystander.

Detective Lt. Charles Love said the gunman was aiming for a man who escaped with a bullet hole in his down jacket.

The suspect remains at large.

Frazier told The Press of Atlantic City that 'I could have been dead. They said my love handles saved my life."

Frazier also told the newspaper that she had been "hollering" that she wanted to lose weight. She now said "I want to be as big as I can if it's going to stop a bullet."

This is why the rest of the world hates us. I can't say I right blame them.

I overheard someone talking about this earlier today, and I had no idea it was this awesome.

Wait, what?  I don't understand how it saved her life unless the fat physically stopped the bullet.  Otherwise, wouldn't it have missed her completely if she had been skinny?

Hit up Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Both are so superior to the shitty Jersey Shore.

If it were a glancing shot from the front or back, possibly. It depends on the angle of the shot and the size and velocity of the bullet. Being a fatass may have helped save her ass, given that fat is quite dense and adds considerably to tissue resistance.

Being fat can indeed save your life. You never hear of fat people drowning, or fat kids being kidnapped for instance.

We have discussed her sexual history before. I stick with just the shakes, though. Nothing else ever tastes right.

Exactly. And oh have I smelled ass before. I was in a coffee shop and two old ladies were sitting at the table next to me, wearing moomoos or something. Totally out of place since this was a coffee shop next to Rittenhouse sq in philly, which is a reaally fancy area. Anyways, it was summer. They stood up to leave, a breeze came through and I smelled the WORST ODOR EVER. Not only just ass, but sweaty, rancid ass. I'm never going to forget this smell. I am forever traumatized

You think that is a bad smell? I once climbed up in the ceiling of my HS graphics building with some friends to retrieve a week old dead opossum.
When trying to pick it up by the foot....the foot came off, that's how rotted this animal was.  The building had to be evacuated.
I did get some free pineapple pizza for my troubles.

I only like the yoghurt that is not actually yoghurt that goes on falafel that is actually a tahini dressing.

Forget the bars, Muscle Milk itself tastes pretty awful.  I don't think I've ever consumed anything else that screams "this is a greatly engineered food product" like Muscle Milk.
