The Extrapolated Hacker’s Diet

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

My fiancĂ©e and I started a diet last week. So far, I’ve lost 10 lbs and she’s lost 12.5 lbs.

Given the above information, two questions often spring to mind.

“How the hell did you do that?” and “Don’t you know it’s the holiday season?”

In answer to the second, yes, I know. Thanksgiving is just a couple of days a way, in fact.

And I’m going to eat as much as I want.

“Okay, wise ass. What fad food are you going to choke down instead of pumpkin pie and turkey?”

Hmm. I was thinking… Thick slices of roasted ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, deviled eggs, and cherry topped cheesecake.

“…”

What? I don’t eat much turkey. I might have a little, though. Maybe even some pumpkin pie.

I should probably answer that first question now.

Step 4: Examine Wings

Looking closely at the wings, you’ll find that they are attached via a round black peg. This particular kind of peg is often used as a swivel joint. Two examples would be Animated Ratchet and Starscream, as both their legs have a swivel joint using a connector similar to this.

So what keeps this peg from being a joint? Little ridges of plastic that are just begging to be shaved!
