Six Weeks To WTF!

A cold bath plus...

A cuppa Joe = WTF

On "Today," where co-hosts come and go and come back -- Bye bye, Meredith!  Here's Meredith at the Queen's Jubilee! Bye, bye, Ann!  Hello, Savannah! -- a man with a British accent and a fake name -- Venice Fulton -- talked about his new weight loss book, "Six Weeks to OMG!"  Apparently, it's all the rage in England.  However, the eldest son and the SJG were not impressed.  We sat and made fun of him and his silly ideas:  Skip breakfast.  Have two cups of strong coffee.  Take a lot of cold baths.  Eat four iPhones.  Wait, that last part doesn't sound right.  What I meant was this:  the daily intake of carbs should be no bigger than four iPhones stacked two by two, approximating the size of a very chintzy sandwich.  According to Mr. Fulton,  if you follow this ridiculous diet, you'll be skinnier than all your friends, and everyone will hate you, so basically, you'll die alone, but look really fetching.  As usual, the eldest had a few thoughts on Mr. Fulton's plan that are far too rude and, how to put this nicely, scatological, to share with you now.  But in the midst of his rant, Billy came up with a diet strategy much smarter than Venice Fulton's.  "I"m going to write a one-page book that says, 'You wanna lose weight, dumb-ass?  Eat less.  Exercise more.  It's as simple as that.  The End."  Excellent advice.  Maybe I'll try it some time.
