Oh, no PG. There are bigger problems for Dancing White than the sheep lion paradox. I just looked up the definition of nerd on Wikipedia. Except for the unattractive part, it's like they wrote it about me. I'm kind of introverted and my interests are apparently extremely nerdy... And I totally didn't see that coming... But, it makes perfect sense. Only a nerd would look up the definition of nerd on Wikipedia. And on Sat. night nonetheless. Time to shift my priorities! New priority number #1! Be less nerdy... Get out more. Develop an interest that doesn't involve hobbits, wizards, or science fiction... Maybe, hmmm, dancing, or drinking... How did this happen? I blame Harry Potter. It's the core of the problem. Got sucked into that, and it was like the gateway into nerdom. Next thing I know, I'm watching Lord of the Rings and reading Dune, collecting fantasy figurines by Schleich, and spending my Saturday night on the computer, blogging and looking up the difinition of nerd on Wikipedia :bag:. What's next. Dungeons and Dragons? Magic Cards? I'll be posting a thread about this. Right now. Need some direction out of this mess...

I think 35.4 here is referring to my eating habits LOL... I'm a nibbler, and I eat a lot of vegetables. One of my coworkers started commenting that after I eat it looks like a rabbit ran through the breakroom. And then it clicked. So, not a "longtailed" rodent, more like a hamster or a rabbit... So, I think the Yi is being kind of funny here comparing me to this animal...

This actually reminds me of the were rabbit in the Wallace and Gromit movie The Curse of the Were Rabbit . The large overgrown were rabbit takes over Wallace's body at night, and is running around eating everyone's garden veggies. By the end of the movie, the were rabbits hold on Wallace becomes so strong, he is running around like that in broad daylight... is almost killed, but luckily changed back just in time. So, it has been kind of like that for me. And, I've read somewhere that the animal that inspired this line is a large overgrown rodent, like a hamster... and, in this case, it is coming up more like a large rabbit.

Anyway, this nibbling irritates my coworkers, so I have had to change my eating habits a bit is all. I wasn't doing this out of any intended disrespect, but with my blood sugar issues, it has been a little challenging to make the transition back to an on the clock job. I've also increased my exercise, which I think has improved my health, but also changed the demand for carbohydrates in my diet. The kind of food I used to eat didn't mesh with this new lifestyle. Trying to get so many calories from vegetables just doesn't seem necessary or even possible with the restrictions at the job. So, after a few weeks of eating massive amounts of veggies like someone possessed by a rabbit, I've added beans and rice into my diet in small amounts, and some flax crackers, and this has been helpful in satiating me for a longer time, without spiking my blood sugar. I've also begun using hemp powder for some quick easy protein. So, now that everything is in the open, everything should be copasetic. Sensing some confusion over the squirrel like eating, I explained to my manager about the transition, and that cleared things up. He seemed to understand. So, will just be careful about it from here on out, and make a point to have quick snacks available... They are actually pretty flexible about this kind of thing at my job. Just been so hungry, could eat all day. Eat anything and everything. Even sneaker chips. I thought this quote from Bradford's commentary was especially appropriate here...

He is stealing the things that he has today for the asking, just like a thief at a potlatch. Openness, light and fresh air restore the general welfare today. Good health is the parasite’s downfall.
Bradford

Very funny

Thanks again everyone for contributing here:bows:

Sounds very trivial to me, makes me think if people have issues, no matter what you do it's going to bother them. Sometimes people just want to see see how fast they can make the rabbit hop. I waited tables once upon a time, and there are certain people who get a perverse pleasure trying to make you run around, upset your equilibrium. Important to be able to identify people like that in life.

It does seem a bit silly, but I'm not too concerned about it. They don't really have any power there. And, the manager is very reasonable and doesn't seem to have a problem with anything. So, no worries.
