I've had a few of those moments myself, and because it's currently over 30°C here I'll not be eating a very big dinner tonight.
Sorry to be gloomy about eating.
But 300 Lb linebackers in the NFL rarely make it past 55! 😱
I read George Burns years ago. Think he was about 80 at the time:
How to Live to Be 100 - Or More by George Burns
A skinny runt. Drinking and smoking. With a heart bypass. He actually made it to 100!
So far so good. I made 15/20 in the Daily Telegraph Pub Quiz today too. So the old lemon is still working too. 🙂

I fired up the smoker yesterday and smoked ribs.
Yes, I can identify.
I also made potato salad, Cole slaw (Roughage), and baked beans (more fiber).
The worst thing about running the smoker is a self-induced requirement to drink beer while running the smoker. Hey, it is a southern thing.

You have full statistics for that comment? The night before Super Bowl 53 I had dinner next to hall of famer Ron Mix (now 82 looks 70'ish) what a great guy, he even finished all three desserts on that night's menu. At the game we met Jackie Slater 66 and going strong a VERY large gentleman.
I ignored that as just another ignorant Portsmouthperson's babel.
But turns out there are words on both sides.

Were they adults ? I remember my mum warning me to be very careful what you put into a cot or todlers bed as there were cases of small kids strangling themselves on toys and things.
I don’t know bigun......it’s part of bills link above.
I suppose it would have to include infants, the disabled etc....on second thought maybe idiot was a thoughtless comment. 😱
But I’ll bet some of those 800 probably were of the drunken variety!
