Trig Brother Question 6: Paunches

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Every contestant in Trig Brother had to think of an ILM/ILE thread for in-pub discussion. This was Ned's question. The answers resulted directly in Sarah's eviction.

― Davina, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dud. Sorry. Do some sit ups, damnit.

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

on other people i have no opinion on this, but on me - dud.

was it sarah's answer that caused her eviction, or rather the presence of offended paunches?

― kevan, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sarah's answer was commendably honest but tactically foolish, given that three of the other four contestants at this stage were men. (Though Martin's assertion that he has a paunch is as lunatic as a certain other contestant's assertion that he didn't).

― Tom, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What the fick is a paunche? A French blow?

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dud-and you can end up with stretch marks too.

― Lesley Higgins, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's amazing to see so many men that are skinny everywhere EXCEPT their belly. It's like they're malnourished.

Beer bellies are the epitome of DUD. Fucking love handles (mine, at least) are hitting those heights of DUDness, too.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

THanks for answering DAVID RAPOSA. I see paunche is belly. I say CLassic. AS I always say, chub=brains.

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You're welcome, MIKE HANLE Y.

Chub = brains. Riiiiight. Chub = chub. That's all. It's a scientific fact.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Its a proven facts that only the weak minded diet.

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What does dieting have to do with this? Your initial statement states that "chub = brains", meaning that skinny people are stupid. Not gonna fly, Mik e.

But I like flowers in my car.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Article in new scientist lo these six months odd: what is the body's largest organ? Ans = yr body fat. It transmits messages in re health esp. (Kate Moss = deprived of same...)

Thus: chub = extra branes, spread deliciously and creamily abt yr person. As proved by SCIENCE.

(Beerbelly = beerbelly = nothing to do with branes, obv.)

― mark s, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A beerbelly is evidence of time well spent in thoughtful and social discussion, though.

I like how on the fat vs skinny girls thread David R was an equal opportunity lover of the human form, however let him loose on a bit of male gut and he is an avenging angel.

― Tom, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sorry, but very few of my drunken conversations were well-spent or thoughtful. They were more along these lines: "You whore, get your hands off him!" "Haha, like I'm interested in your nasty man anyhow, I will sit on his lap!" "FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!" "Hahaha, you are so drunk!" "Hahaha, I know!" "I love you so much!" "I love you too!" (insert crying jags here)

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me. :)

I'll have to go back and see how much of a hypocrite I really am.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I believe I was a lover of the FEMALE form, Thom.

I'm sick of seeing out-of-shape, slovenly men pulling attractive women. Women really shouldn't have to put up with that sort of crap. They should go out with someone trying to fight this battle of the bulge. Like ME.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Where is this paradise in which you dwell?

― Tom, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Paunches on women (what I call "pooches") are so so much more classic than any woman will ever believe. Not to excess of course, but a little honest gut hangin out I find incredibly endearing.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i like my paunch - it's name is fred.

― Geoff, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A paunch is NOT a big belly and it is NOT being cuddly and it's NOT just being Nicely Rounded either - a paunch is Mr. Burns from the Simpsons therefore = DUD. None of the men present had what I would call a PAUNCH. Baran for example was surely more of an inflatable balloon belly.

Anyway, yer all sexists, especially Jane.

― sarah, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's called America, Tom. Come join us.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Name one skinny genius.

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

On me = dud, but not as much as my rapidly growing second chin.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm a genius.

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Grey Aliens are pretty clever they got here from the Crab Nebula, and abduct people and mutilate cows. They are very skinny, but they've got big heeds (therefore big brains).

― jel, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Stephen Hawkins isn't fat and he may mutilate cows in a clever bastard way too.

― Martin, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hawkins doesnt count as his body is rotting. Ally, you are a genius, and you posted a thread called " I have a big ass". Case closed

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Big ass is not the same thing as extra chub.

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think buddha bellies are sexy as hell. It indicates they have a taste for pleasure.

― anthony, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thank you anthony, you are correct. People! We live in a n era of planty! If you lived when I did in the year 1564 you would know the horror of starvation and never again diet!

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mike, you daft OLD bugger. 1564?

― Dan Perry, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Little bhuddas. A smidge of roundness. Just a bit. No party balls, no Firestones - just a little extra cushion.

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm immortal

― Mike Hanle y, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Okay, so you ahve a paunch and love handles. Great, fantastic, I love it. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WALK AROUND SHIRTLESS GODDAMNIT???

Sorry, I was just traumatised by a man walking down the street shirtless. I mean, fine, he wasn't really particularly overweight, he just had handles and a paunch, but he needed a shirt. They literally bounced when he walked. That's just awful, you don't walk around in public like that.

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Question: Why is it okay for a mwoman's breasts to bounce, but not a man's sexy paunch?

NOTE: I don't particularly find paunches sexy; I just think it's unfair that a jiggling woman gets a standing ovation while a jiggling man gets pavement stones chucked at him, even if I would be the first one prying up the sidewalk.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Honey, you ain't gonna see me jiggling any time soon. I strap these fuckers down. I'm not a fan of jiggling in any form, whenever I see a girl walking down the street who should be putting on a bra, I'm all, "Look at that bitch, who does she think she is without a bra on? How disgusting!" and then me and Stephanie laugh and point and make disturbing comments until the next fashion faux pas walks by, and we can start up on them.

HOWEVER I do believe that if men are allowed to go waltzing down the street like Jigglypuff, women should be allowed to waltz down the street topless too.

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Gratuitous display of the naked paunch is aesthetically dud, but I sort of admire the confidence it requires to show one off. My own belly remains hidden at all times, to be seen by no-one apart from the people who live across the road.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I second the topless motion. Isn't it legal to walk around topless in NYC? And, shit, they're just breasts. Men have 'em, too - theirs just suck. (I think I've already covered this before, though. And I should cover mine, at the very least.) If they were all out in the open, perhaps the taboo re: breasts would go away once & for all! Yes! Boobies!

― David Raposa, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am pleased to see my innocent little question causing such fun. Or should I be disturbed?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In all of New York State, ackshully. When the NY State Supreme Court was deliberating the case (it was a discrimination case based on exactly the point you make, Ally) hundreds of placard-carrying women went to Canada, where bare breasts are legal, and marched over the border into New York. Topless. Shouting "the redcoats are coming! the redcoats are coming!" Then Betsy Ross made a flag out of all their old brassieres, which caused an entire regiment of Minutemen's idle penises to do a salute, and that's how we have the Bill of Rights.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tracer is a skinny genius.

― bnw, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Back before I became an exercise freak, I would have said "CLASSIC- people are SO VAIN! A little fat is natural!"

Now, however, I'll have to say DUD. I was going to write something mean, I guess, but nah. Sucks to be fat. Bad enough as is.

― Nude SPock, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Quite frankly, I don't see what the difference is between man boobs and woman boobs.

― Ally, Monday, 6 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Typically, a woman's breast is shaped much more bulbously than a man's, firmer yet with just the right amount of plumpness and juiciness to keep a person occupied for hours, while a man's will hang there like the lifeless flab it is. It has something to do with the fact that women's breasts can store milk.

― Nude SPock, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wonder what it would be like to have a paunch? I mean, I eat like a fucking pig and I don't get any exercise at all except rolling joints (which of course causes me to eat more junk food), yet I simply never gain an ounce!

― dave q, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As dave q rockets to the top of many an ILE poster's hate list...

Dude, hope and pray that metabolism never goes away. It's really depressing when it does. (I mean, I'm not even big, but compared to how thin I used to be it's depressing, plus various members of my family keep making little comments about making sure I start exercising soon...)

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Bah, you simpleminded slaves to the diet empire. You bow before Weight Wacthers like curs! Get up and eat a nice freid chicken! SOme donuts too! Wash it down with a steak! Have you ever noticed it seems the same peopl who sell you DOve bars sell you Sweet and Low. Ah yes, its the SIN of the bourgiouse to be chubby. Tsk tsk.

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dude, Mike, what if you can't eat those things? I literally can't; every single thing you mentioned besides Dove Bars makes me sick to the point of vomit, and even Dove Bars make me a bit queasy.

― Ally, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've never done Weight Watchers in my life, thanks. I really don't need to; as I said, I'm not a big person. Just a mildly out-of-shape one (ie, if I attempted to run a mile the way I did in high school, I would be in Vomitville a quarter of the way through). If I could concentrate on it for 6 weeks, I could be in slammin' shape.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am not surprised Dove Bars make you sick, they are made of soap and three quarters moisturising fluid.

― Emma, Tuesday, 7 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That moisturizing liquid must explain why they taste so greasy.
