6 weeks in ready to cheat. :(

My preferred date is Dec 26…

Same here, we’ve got some stuff out already, not sure what exactly as I actively avoid it. Now, however, you’ve triggered my brain and I need to see what it is they’re offering at this point. It’s really tempting to print some signs that say “It’s OCTOBER, morons!” and sticky tape them to the Christmas stuff.

We’ve also got Halloween stuff everywhere, which also triggers me, as it’s purely driven by US TV shows, really. It was an absolute non-event 30 years ago down here.

Same here for Halloween. Amazing what people will get suckered, or peer pressured, into buying!

Haha. Well, I grew up with a father who whistled, hummed, and sang “White Christmas” 365 days a year. I think he both liked the song and the irony.
Anyway, I have no idea why my observation popped into my head but once I sang it to myself (and did the clap-to-count-each-sy-lla-ble thing to make sure I was right), I had to share.

I’d’a knifed him :slight_smile:

And that would likely be fatal. Because we all know Australian knives look like! dQIPoAX

MrMartyJones, you are the Lennon/McCartney of Keto.

And @juice is my Ono! (get it? Because he replied with [implied “oh”]-NO!!!)

Premature … I grew up with a neighbor who never took his decorations down.

Also, as I am a very superstitious football fan, one year, my team started winning the week we put up the tree, and kept winning through the Super Bowl. So our tree was up until Feb 5 of that year.

The tree always stays up until my team is out of the playoffs. My wife complains, and is probably a bit embarrassed, because the tree sits lit up in front of a big bay window, even in Feb. Ha ha. But I think deep down she gets a kick out of it.

And my team … well there is only one real football team you fools …

Imagine the “Voice of God” on NFL Films, “There are 31 teams in the NFL, and then there are … the Pittsburgh Steelers.”

Heather, you’re hired! You can plan ALL my keto meals! :yum:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Also, I hate the Beatles (and Yoko, that really shouldn’t work :slight_smile:

Yeah, well, I’m a Bengals fan, so I’d knife them like I’d knife your neighbour i.e. as Marty said :slight_smile:

Fat old Aussie bastard

#52

Not to brag, but I basically did the same thing, just by eating the right kinds of food.
I lost my ass, but it wasn’t because I was busting it.

The REAL CREDIT goes to the food! :steakcake: :fried_egg: :bacon:

(Running from stupidity) #53

Awww, I’m outta likes…

:metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

Then you must also know … I’m probably one of the few Steeler, or even Bengal fans for that matter, who has been wearing an Australian rugby jersey since 1985. Bought it during a trip to Wales.

My original jersey hasn’t fit in a while – unless I want to look like an authentic Australian beer drinking champion.

But a few more months on keto, and I’ll be wearing the jersey and looking like a lean, mean rugby machine.

YOU ROCK!

(KetoQ) #56

No Juice, YOU ROCK!

(Joanna Parszyk ) #57

That’s the attitude!!! :+1:

(Terence Dean) #58

You need to trade that mean rugby machine for a washing machine mate! The All Blacks RULE!! :rugby_football: :wink:

(KetoQ) #59

I have some good Kiwi buddies as well, they are crazy partiers like the Aussies.

Well if it was me I would wait for about 3 months. I still remember on my first month I can’t stop thinking about chocolate chip cookies to the point where my hand started to shaking.
