I know guys who could out-geek Wu Jr.

I hate how messed up my shoulder is. But not surprising it ultimately began by getting a nasty, nasty bug while doing something I found I actually like doing. That's how my life goes. And now everybody is telling me to apply for disabilities.

 

[Wu Wei]

I'm signing off....goodnight RF

 

[Stonetree]

There'll be no slide rule or pocket protector in sight.
And nerds are few....more farmers, mechanics, etc.

I seem to remember Vincent Price making the same offer to entice innocent victims to his Wax Museum..

It's smelled less of wet bear the last few hours.
But just now, a new odor assaults the senses.

It worked for him.
It works for me.

Nice lunch.

 

[Revoltingest]

That looks like a toy lunch.

 

[ChristineM]

That looks like a toy Thai lunch.

Fixed
Thai, not toy, and quite satisfying

Also going out with the family later so must leave room for dinner

Your lunch is tiny & looks staged.
Are you one of those "foodies"?

Not that tiny, certainly good enough for lunch and attractively served

I like food, yes.

You eat like a bird...not one of the big'ns.

Birds eat about 1/4 to 1/2 thier body weight every day..... so eating like a bird, based on a 100 pound person, would mean 25 to 50 pounds of food a day

Many people say i eat like a bird, a gannet

 

[Stonetree]

Well, now I don't feel sorry for the birds who have their bird seed stolen from the feeder by the squirrels. Those birds are piggies.

25 pounds would be 100 quarter-pounders. It's hard enough just to get through one of those.

Another view is to use the meaning of the phrase...

eat like a bird — definition, examples, related words and more at Wordnik

All the words

...which is based upon the idea of a bird being small,
& therefore eating less in absolute quantity than a
large French mammal. (I assume she's a mammal.)
Silly bear....

[Stonetree]

Comparing the physical demands that birds perform with those of homo sapiens demonstrates they evolved to be physically superior. It gets harder and harder for me to get up from a chair while those avians lift themselves into the air all their lives.....I'm going to try some birdseed.
