If you need Charmin for your back, you have some problems.
I think people can infer backside.

What exactly is so appealing about Call of Duty and all those other war games? Is it just a "Yay I'm about to blow shit up" kind of thing or is there more to it? As a person with zero interest in war/history I am genuinely curious.

I don't find much appeal in Call of Duty aside from 1,2, and 4, but I can chime in from somebody who enjoys Counter Strike quite a bit as well which can also be classified in with other modern military shooters.

Playing a relatively competitive game of Defuse Missions with a group of friends who understand the game can be quite the engrossing experience. Since both of those game modes have permadeath and a pretty high skill ceiling, they also require fairly large amounts of teamwork, coordination, and understanding of the weapons/maps/etc to win. The weapons CoD and Counter Strike have really high lethality too, one wrong move usually lands you dead. There's just something really fun about that for me.

Just missed out on a 65 inch Sony flat screen for $350... CURSES!!!

My neighbor put out a sign in front of his home advertising it but I was too late. I've been wanting to upgrade my TV for awhile now, and feel the urge to find a new unit asap now. Suggestions or whatever welcomed.

Pills and potions are not the answer. Watching the diet and exercising is the proper way.
Exercise, yes. Watching my diet? Hell no. I can't afford to buy special health food for myself, I can't cook much more than poptarts, I eat until I'm full... plus, the food at school, despite how its supposed to be, is some of the absolute shittiest and worse for your health on Earth. Plus, they feed 200 pound plus guys like me the same amount of food as a first grader... its horrible.

Plus, I like my fatty foods.

You don't need expensive special health food. You just need not-poptarts and other crap food.

Fruit is cheap, low-calorie, and delicious. A baked potato with a half-tablespoon of butter and black pepper is nicely filling and only 150-200 cal. Sugar-free jello is another great food for dieting, and large diet sodas can make a somewhat small meal feel like a real meal.

Baked potatoes + diet = not a good combination...

Counting calories = retarded and wrong...

Shit, that stuff is worse for your health than soda with sugar...

You wanna lose weight? Lose the carbs...

No potatoes, no grains, no rice, no bread, no pasta...

Eat lots of unprocessed meat, lots of vegetables, a little fruit...

Extra: drink lukewarm water with lemon when you wake up. Good for losing weight, and your liver will thank you...

This diet will put your body in ketosis. Most of what I just said is part of the ketogenic diet...

Bodybuilders use this diet to get tighter skin and muscles a few days before a show...
