Yeah, under the reinforced boardwalk, down by the sea, yeahOn a mobility scooter with my obese tatted baby is where I’ll be
Out of the sun(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be havin’ some funnel cake(Under the boardwalk) People waddling above(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be fallin’ in love with fried oreos & fudge(Under the boardwalk) Yeah (riding the tramcar instead of walking)
We finished our vacation week in Wildwood. No more stories about drunken nights at the Shamrock. It is now a construction site, with new $800,000 cookie cutter condos slated to replace a famous institution, which gave me unlimited fodder for at least two dozen articles about the crazy nights spent at our favorite bar over the last fifteen years.
/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/pmn/3EFH6XYSG5AAXDQABVKZYL4XI4.jpg)
We still see Billy Jack, as he regularly plays at The Cove, two blocks from the old Shamrock, but it isn’t the same. There is another construction boom in Wildwood, but I won’t be lured into buying at the top again. I’ll wait for the crash that may never come. But some things never change in good old Wildwood. It’s lucky they replaced a good chunk of the boardwalk, because I don’t think the old boards could support the obese land whales waddling towards the funnel cake stand or racing down the boards on their mobility scooters to buy a fried twinkie washed down by a 128 ounce lemonade (extra sugar) on one of their eight credit cards.
As with my years driving on the 30 Blocks of Squalor, I can’t help but observe, in real time, the decline of our culture and the rapid demise of self-respect and adherence to some standard of community normality. After walking many miles on the beach and boardwalk, and observing from our condo deck and on our couple outings to local restaurants and bars, I think I can come to some conclusions about the general state of affairs in this country. And it ain’t a positive picture.
Now let me be clear, not everyone in Wildwood fits the generalizations I will be making. There are many fit healthy people jogging and biking everyday. There are many normal traditional families with cute kids all over the beaches and boardwalk. The normies are just not the majority anymore. We’ve clearly reached a tipping point and I don’t think there is a path back to normality and the traditional living arrangements which helped grow this country and made it a desirable place to live and raise a family.
We spent quite a few hours strolling on the boardwalk and the sights were breathtaking to behold, and not in a good way. An hour on the Wildwood boardwalk is all you need to confirm we have an obesity crisis in this country. The comparison of a picture of the people on the boardwalk in the 1960’s versus a picture from today is all you need to confirm the downward spiral of our species.
1960’s
Today
Young, middle aged, and old are all impacted by this self inflicted disease of consumption. Wildwood attracts so many fat asses, it actually has a store that rents out rascals for the week. Most of the rascals are not for people with disabilities, but for hippopotamuses too slothful or too corpulent to walk.
As I was walking down the ramp onto the beach one day a turbo-charged rascal blazed past me onto the beach driven by a rotund bearded 40 something year old. He hopped off his souped up four wheeler and grabbed his ginormous cooler, likely filled with manufactured foodstuff designed to make him even fatter. Three hours later as we were leaving the beach he was planted under a pink cabana tent eating to his heart’s delight. At least until his looming heart attack and sudden death.
The real question is how did over half the population become obese over the last fifty years. Every individual does ultimately control what they jam down their gullets, so much of the blame can be placed squarely on the individual. Eating as a way to be happy or way to cure depression or way to fulfill some unmet psychological need will ultimately lead to obesity. But there is more to it than individual weakness. The powers that be are masters of psychological manipulation through propaganda, disguised as marketing.
Our corporate fascist state is only concerned with wealth, power and control. They have created the toxic foodstuff designed to make us fat, lazy, and pliable. They create the marketing campaigns designed to convince the masses this crap food is actually good for them. The mega-corporations peddling this noxious mixture of chemical foodstuff get rich. The politicians and government bureaucrats get rich from payoffs by mega-corporations who create the obesity and the Big Pharma scum who sell fake cures for the maladies related to the obesity. And the real ruling class benefit from an apathetic, diseased, non-rebellious populace, focused on the 124 flavors of ice cream choices at their local obesity palace.
They take advantage of weaknesses inherent in all humans. They push the masses towards committing the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. Their propaganda convinces the masses to do whatever they are told. The covid scam is a perfect example of their power. They particularly know how to addict large swaths of the population to products and what they declare fashionable. The beaches and boardwalks of Wildwood provide ample evidence of their power.
Wanting to be part of an exclusive clique and the desire for status symbols, so others will find you interesting and worthy of recognition seems to be a driving influence for a vast segment of the population, spurred on by the ruling elite. The rich strut like peacocks by flaunting their 12 bathroom $10 million mansions, $200,000 Mercedes, Rolex watches, vacations on exotic islands, and memberships in exclusive golf clubs. The poor and middle class aren’t rich, so they must seek attention in alternative ways. And so they do.
Before this century, tattoos were not common among the general population. Men in the military would have tattoos related to their unit or branch of the service. Members of motorcycle clubs would have tattoos. They were rare among women,white collar men, and teens. Based on my observations in Wildwood, it appears 50% of the population is now tatted. Mothers, teenage girls, and even the obese are covered in hideous blots of ink. I was unable to decipher what they represent. Pretty girls are mutilating their bodies to fill some hole in their lives, created by our degraded deviant culture.
Neck tattoos, sleeves, full leg tattoos, and a hodgepodge of ridiculous artwork mar the bodies of young and old alike. In a desire to be different and display special status, millions reveal themselves to be nothing more than trend following branded sheep. When I was young, many had horrific hair styles or wore ridiculously embarrassing clothes, but they could fix it by getting a haircut and buying new clothes. If these tattoos look awful today, imagine what they will look like in 30 years. They are essentially permanent. Having tattoos all over your body will likely relegate you to lower paying jobs and among the normals you will be treated as low class. Tattoos are a status symbol for the lower classes, just as a Mercedes is for the upper class.
My instincts regarding what will be popular culturally have always been poor. When the Facebook IPO came out in 2012 I ridiculed those who bought the stock. I was sure it would be a flop. It’s 500% return since the IPO proved me wrong. When Apple launched its Apple Watch in 2015, I was sure it would be a flop. It was ugly, square, and all its functions were already in every smart phone. Well, 115 million sales later, it appears I was wrong again. Based on the crowd in Wildwood, every woman wearing a watch between the ages of 15 and 50, is wearing the exact same Apple Watch, with the color of the band the only difference. These women think they are stylish and different, when they nothing but cattle, following the herd, just as they did getting their jabs and boosters.
The ruling class know bread and circuses (pizza and tramcars in Wildwood) will keep the ignorant masses distracted and amused, so they can keep pillaging the dwindling treasury of a falling empire. The most prevalent distraction are the “smart” phones attached to the hands of virtually every person in Wildwood and the world. We walked and biked close to 20 miles during our week in Wildwood. Not once did I bring my cell phone. I spent my time on the beach reading an actual book. I saw very few book readers on the beach, but many many tatted zombies staring at their dumb phones as if the world depended upon them doing so.
It seems most people are incapable of thinking, reading a book, or just ruminating and enjoying nature. Listening to the sound of the ocean crashing on the beach or watching the seagulls swoop down on an unsuspecting dupe to snatch their soft pretzel, is unthinkable among the smart phone addicted. Whether they were jogging, biking, pushing a stroller, or sitting in a beach chair, the iPhones never left their hands. It’s as if they are afraid to be alone with their own thoughts.
They need to know what others are posting on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, so they can do and think whatever is fashionable and popular at the current moment in time. With so many brain dead sheep, no wonder it was easy to get them to lockdown and inject themselves with a dangerous untested concoction of DNA altering toxins. Huxley was right about technology just being a more efficient means for going backwards. With every piece of literature ever written at our fingertips, the populace is dumber than ever. But they do know every aspect of the Kardashian lives.
The last depressing observation from our week in Wildwood was the inordinate number of girls barely above 18 years old pushing baby strollers on the boardwalk with no man and no wedding ring. Many were with their mothers, but very few were with husbands. The fact is that 45% of all children born in the U.S. today are born out of wedlock. For minorities the rates are above 70%. In the 1960’s only 5% to 10% of children were born out of wedlock. This is a disaster for the children, as they lack the two parent stability, and grow up psychologically scarred.
The feminism crap jammed down the throats of girls, where they are told they don’t need men to raise children has now destroyed multiple generations. Marriage, with two parents raising children, is the foundation of our society. The ruling class doesn’t want stability, self-sufficiency, and a critical thinking populace who can see how badly they are being screwed by the politicians, banks, corporations and the oligarch pulling the levers behind the curtain. They want us divided, poor, dependent on them, distracted by gadgets and vacuous entertainment, and unquestioning when they tell us who and what to fear and hate. Like Covid and Russia.
Other than that, we had a thoroughly enjoyable week in Wildwood. To end on a happier note, I was impressed by the number of youngsters renting surf boards and having the time of their lives catching a wave and sitting on top of the world. Despite my somewhat negative observations, it did seem like everyone was having a good time and enjoying themselves. I guess ignorance really is bliss. My childhood memories of Wildwood are all positive. I had the time of my life running wild with my cousins on the beach and boardwalk. Let’s hope future generations will have similar memories, under the boardwalk.

The difference between the health conditions over time, AND the fashions over time is quite stark.
People used to care about their health and their appearance.
I still care.
People in our culture have no understanding of cause and effect, Karma. I have studied the topic for most of my almost 65 years. Life gets better with each understanding. You might call it personal responsibility. It goes with know thyself. Self Realization.
Yes cerritos AKJOHN,
I went through a grip of various versions of low self control from sugar, to fast food to beer and more.
Eventually I realized they were all the same problem.
After that it became simple.
I know if I consume too much or this or any of that, I will have problems.
Self control, a relationship with self and the universe to try and only use or consume the amount required for optimum performance.
It was the most difficult easy lesson I ever had the privilege to learn.
There is no sin in taking only what we actually will use.
Edit add:
In 2021, I dropped 50lbs over the course of a few months by simply…eating far less.
No exersize.
Amazing, right?
Not every message from the stomach is a request to stuff in another meal.
Awesome. Personal responsibility works in every aspect of our lives. I know as I grew up in the victim consciousness of Chicago. I left that and landed in Alaska 44 years ago today. Easy to remember as it’s my birthday next Monday.
Happy fucking birthday, douchebag. May you live for fucking ever.
You have looked into the mirror of God. You were tested and found wanting.
What in the hell is wrong with you?
Best you’ve got? Relying on tired profanity for punctuation? You sound like a drunk freshman.
When our country completely descends into chaos or is overtaken by the Chinese the people you describe will have virtually zero chance of survival.
You must be the life of the party.
Divorced and alone. Guaranteed.
…another stupid comment from the chickenshit “Anonymous” family basement. Glad you put in your 2 cents. Not really.
Well done! I read somewhere that you have to jog for 6 hours to lose 1 pound of weight. So, yes, it’s far easier to eat less.
Eat healthy and consume less to lose weight.
Exercise to build lung capacity and muscle mass.
Muscle mass increases your metabolism and burns more calories naturally.
Wait, what???? You obviously have never talked with my stomach
Calories in, calories out.
Immutable.
Same, I lost 18 Pounds by eating less. Barely exercised. Stopped using door dash, it’s expensive and made it too easy to eat bad.
I’ll GIVE you understanding. DEATH to kin betrayers, race traitors, Commies and Nazis. They are ALL LOWER than child molesters! And I’d kill a child molester without a 2nd thought.

“Died suddenly…”
Yup, I think the Water’s song Amused to Death seems about right. Not sure what the deal is with obesity. I’ve eaten plenty of junk food all my life but don’t spend all day eating it as can’t stand feeling bloated. Wife is another story. She eats much healthier than me, but she eats more and has gotten fat.
It’s to the point where going out in public is a freak show with the piercings and tats. God even women our age have the damn things. But will admit that I spend too much time on the computer reading articles and shit from sheer boredom instead of getting off my ass and working in projects. Not to mention, it’s gets depressing being bombarded with all the gloom and doom. Glad you enjoyed it admin
The kids and I are at a waterpark going on a white water raft ride. There is room for about 6. So, a nice looking 30ish woman with boyfriend ask if they can ride with us. She has a full nude woman on her forearm, from head to toe, at least a foot long. I’m thinking I like you, but I love her. It lead to a fun conversation with my daughter who was around 20 at the time. What makes a person want to do something that stupid.
When I was in the (Brit) Navy, a mate of mine had a full body tattoo of a fox hunt. It was an incredible piece of art. I won’t say where the fox ended up, but he escaped down a hole.
All of the wonderful diversity in merica, and you need to write about FAT people. Thanks. LMAO
Family went with Daughter, who resides in the swamp, to the 51st state of Delmarva. Yes, we got to see all of the fat arses. Excuse me, east coast fat arses.
Best damn song I’ve heard in a long time.
Oliver was 30 days sober when he did this video ,one night he dropped to his knees and asked God to help him get over his drinking problem and depression. (A local paper interviewed him)
Now look at him all I can say is God is good and I wish this guy the best of luck.
I like the story more than the song. It does show his love of freedom.
Fag.
Don’t be so hard on yourself
By the way, I just was in Moscow for two days and during that period saw 5 people there wearing a mask.
And the severely overweight rate is <5%
Jim,
What’s the address of your old condo?
Why?
I’m curious what it’s worth now.
It’s worth $489,000. I sold it for $240,000 in January 2019 after being on the market for 2 years without a nibble. It seems pandemics are great for real estate prices in Wildwood.
I read teachers, accountants and engineers are the professions most likely to become millionaires.
A million isn’t what it used to be
Very true GNL.
By the way admin. What stocks are you avoiding right now:)
Go into politics.
They all turn into millionaires.
No matter the salary.
I don’t think many are prepared to take that much **ck.
If you have a mortgage connection to check with – ask him/her the rate & cost for someone to buy it now as a second home (vacation home). It will probably shock you.
Using a mortgage calculator, after putting down 25% ($122,250), the monthly (including estimated taxes) comes to about $2,700.
I wonder how much Jim was getting per week when he owned it.
$2,700 would only be the P&I @ 8% (30 Year Fixed). Pretty sure a buyer would have to pay points to get 8.0% on a 2nd home these days. Add in taxes, HOA, insurance. Probably $40,000+ / year in payments.
Dropped my price from 1.2 million down to 550,000 just to get the fuck out of VA. I FEEL your pain. Putting Mom on Hospice at end of month.
I don’t know if they even want us divided and poor Admin, I’m convinced they no longer want us, period. The long held “Metropolis” dream of humanoids/bots that don’t need food, water, never ask for a raise or take vacation and require little management is in their sights.
Putting a remnant of humans underground and having bots do the servile work is a dream more than a century old.
BL,
There is a massive amount of material going back as far as you want to go, on getting rid of the human species. There is no doubt there is a wide ranging plan to do just that. Needless to say this whole Covid Plandemic was to lower the population and it worked magnificently for them.
The number of autoimmune diseases will be shocking and the number of people in line for new hearts will be equally astounding. Fertility is in the proverbial toilet.
The “they” are seriously behind the Georgia Guidestones philosophy. There is no doubt in my mind they have achieved their goals already. It’s just a tic-tok to fruition.
WW3 will be an insurance policy to meet their goals.
Their Covid plan didn’t work so well for depop. Firstly, most of those who took all their jabs and boosters are the sheep and the lefties – in other words, the very people who will never resist the Deep State. Areas with high pop growth like India and Central Africa had a very low vaxx uptake and took Ivermectin. And best of all for us, very few conservative critical thinkers and other freedom lovers took the death shot. They are killing the wrong people, and we will be there to hold them to account when the bill comes due.
Steve Z and Steve- They have barely gotten started.
L,
I did say massive deaths from the jabs, decreased fertility and probably WW3.
I think I’ve got the big picture.
I hear the drones a comin
Sending some hellfire
Playing in the frontyard
Dodging six razors
Did not think it’d happen
Runnin for our lives
Steve,
I was referring to the West and the US in particular although, I didn’t make that clear.
Oh, it’s working just fine. You can’t have everybody dropping dead within a week or month of the jab. That’s too obvious. The jabs are a slow burn with huge autoimmunity, cancers, etc coming over the next decade. Same with fertility-devastating.
The leftists are the useful idiots they have always been and have been treated as such during this Covid Pandemic. Some folks never learn-don’t trust govt. Duh!
too many Americans were forced to take the jab or lose their job.
university students; take the jab or no admittance for you.
professional athletes; take the jab or no millions for you.
while tens of millions of illegals walked in and no jab for them.
Yep ! and the “great replacement” is conspiracy theory.
Someone’s doing maths…
Fort Detrick-released tick bites, anyone? Going for a walk used to be healthy . . .

The young woman covered in tattoos is horrendous. I have a lovely daughter who seems headed in the same direction and it breaks my heart.
A tattoo guy told me once that he ends up turning down people because they get addicted to it. His logic is a bit twisted, but I believe the addicted part as it is not rational.
I know a guy who has a salaried job as a tattoo artist at the maximum security prison in MN. $82,000 salary from the State of MN. If an inmate wants a tattoo of the country of Niger, he damn sure better not misspell it.
You are possessed of a keen wit, which I’m concerned most are too stupid to grasp.
I get it.

“’Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.” NIV Lev 19:28
I always had the idea that the physical body is God’s holy temple and not to be messed with even before reading the Bible.
And now you have proof.
So, bovine growth hormone, GMO corn-derived high-fructose corn syrup, excitotoxins and other non-food additives, tobacco, alcohol, lethal vaccines, and glyphosate are biblically forbidden.
But is it Kosher?
Halal, infidel dog?
Not unless it is in Leviticus.
What you can and cannot eat are spelled out
very specifically.
Too bad Jesus ended the Mosaic covenant. They do all that for nothing (if you don’t count the extortion and racketeering).
You getting me thinking AK
Maybe…
The physical body each one gets, is really just the one model of utility vehicle we get to use while on earth.
And our consciousness, our soul, our,id or whatever one calls ones thinking processes, is sort of just along for the ride in a sense.
Whereas our body is along for whatever crazy ride our mind can generate.
___
Thinking on the physical body…
Reminds me of the sanskrit nine rules for humans.
1. You Will receive A Body
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You Will Learn Lessons
You are enrolled in a full-time, informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
3. There Are No Mistakes, Only Lessons
Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works”.
4. A Lesson Is Repeated Until It Is Learned
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Then you can go on to the next lesson.
5. Learning Lessons Does Not End
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
6. “There” is Not Better Than “Here”
When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that again, looks better than “here”.
7. Others Are Merely Mirrors of Your SELF
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8. What Makes Your Life is Up To You
You have all the tools and resources you need; what you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9. The Answers Lie Inside You
The answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
___
These helped round out my understanding of life.
Nice. Nothing I would disagree with.
Your body is the car that drives your mind around.
Do not put your ear to the post.

What of it?
What does it mean to “cut your bodies for the dead”? Some of this is inaccessible to the lay person.
I told my then 19-year-old daughter when she told me she wanted a tattoo: Go in your closet and pick out a blouse you’d like to wear every day for the rest of your life. I made for her an unassailable truism and was proud of myself.
She got the friggen tattoo anyway.
I’d like to know about the piercings.
fuckin’ pervert.
A woman of 19’s prime concern is being pierced.
Without steel.
Perversion is thinking that that’s perverse.
It is Scripture. Holy Doctrine. Go ahead and mock it.
Life is full of bitter disappointments. At times like those, I find it helpful emotionally to consider my own shortcomings. None of us is perfect. Why would we expect more from our children than we demand from ourselves?

I only went to Wildwood once in the early 1970s. I remember a monorail and horseshoe crabs and the vast expanse of beach . I remember the house my family rented in Cape May it had a loft bedroom that had a black iron spiral staircase to it . Now I thought that was cool.
The good old days

I think the highlight of the week for me was when a massive thunderstorm rolled through at night in the middle of the week. We just sat on the balcony and watched the lightning show over the ocean for about two hours. We didn’t take pictures with our phones. We just enjoyed nature’s powerful show.
Hopefully over a frosty beverage! Been there. Done that…with many different acquaintances over the years.
You should realize what you’re looking at, though…the Devil’s chicanery and torture of God’s Creation. I see it as a Promise of God’s Retribution foretold. How else could I endure the mockery?
I suppose that’s why I’m not afraid of lightening. It has no power over me.
Amazing how many people use “e” in Lightning.
My family used to go to Wild Wood every year when I was a kid. For quite a long time I hadn’t gone to the shore at all. Life was intervening for some years. My wife and her family always did Ocean City, Maryland. Well in 2019 we took a day trip to Wild Wood and I was shocked at how much it changed since I was a kid. We used to alway stay at The Rio. That’s gone. Along with a lot of other stuff from the 80’s. But the caliber of people had definitely gone down. So the next month I caved and went to Ocean City for a week with my wife and in laws. And had a much better time. It was very reminiscent of the Wild Wood I remembered as a kid. Different, yes. But a lot less dirtbags than Wildwood the month before. I’ve been going back to Ocean City with my family ever since. But now this summer at Ocean City, Maryland there was a noticeable change. Taxes! Holy hell did Maryland go nuts with taxes on EVERYTHING! Hell they tax you on being taxed! Lots of the restaurants are way more expensive and the food not as good as previous years. And then there was the increase in absolute DIRTBAGS crawling all over town. And lots of Land Whales too! We ended up getting the Over Sand Vehicle Permit for my 4Runner again and spent a good part of the week on Assateague Island, away from the riffraff as much as possible.
Grew up there – Grade school (Avalon) and HS (Wildwood Catholic High) Lots of memories – mostly good – but not at all surprised it has gone down the tubes – I have not been back since my Senior year at Saint Joe’s in Philadelphia.
That was 1982
BTW – Great Post – Catches my attention every time. I am one of maybe 5 that got out and “made it” from kids that I went to school with. Wish them the very best = good people – sorely used by the machine.
Ocean City no where near a good as Wildwood was – Maryland is “crap” – yes Assateague is a welcome respite but getting there through Maryland and the dirtbags … not worth the bother.
Maryland gives you crabs. What more do you need to know?
I haven’t been back to Wildwood since the late 80s. Maybe it’s just as well.
I will note, however, that if you see me staring at my smartphone I’m not looking at Facebook, because it doesn’t get it. It does, however, get Dostoevsky, Thoreau and the complete, unexpurgated Burton translation of 1000 Nights and a Night, which can all slip in my pocket to be accessed at any time.
Times have changed. You may be looking at the readers and thinkers without knowing it.
I’m sure you’re right. Fat, tatted & pierced, reading Dostoevsky. While vaping Delta 9.
“It could happen” — Judy Tenuta
True dat! I’m the fogiest of old fogies, but the step counter on my phone has gotten me fit. I used to physically count out the steps for all the local walks, but it got too much.
Sometimes I still miss going down the shore, eating a nice porkroll sandwich or decent slice of pizza, but the rest of it? Not so much.
We spent our Sunday weeding the garden, drying garlic seed, detasseling corn, making pickles and then we ate lunch; cucumber and onions in vinegar, ice cold cherries, deviled eggs and sliced roast beef, all of it from the farm.
After that I took the kids and a couple of their friends out on the boat , enormous clouds crowding the sky, emerald green mountains embracing the sapphire blue lake. There were smiles all around, pleasant conversation, but there were no tattoos, no obese bodies, just the fresh air and cheerful company.
On days like that it easy to forget what’s happening everywhere else and impossible to imagine how we’ve come to a societal immolation. Understanding it wouldn’t change anything anyway, but for those of us who don’t want to go quietly into that dark night we’ve got to find a way to live through it, past it, into whatever is going to come next. It won’t be more of the same, that much is clear. Every genius in The Empire of Lies thinks we’ve finally defeated eugenics only to hear Nature say, in a deep and serious voice, hold my beer.
I don’t know what’s going to happen to all those illustrated men and women long term, but I forsee a lot of very skinny people in the not too distant future.
What cannot sustain itself will not be sustained, or something to that effect.
And Nature always bats last.
Ain’t it ironic the shit we miss in this pitiful span of time we call “life”?
I’ll gladly hold your beer, if you in turn would hold mine.
PS…you should know that I’ve never willingly handed over a beer to anyone in my life, including the gendarmerie!
Yes – Taylor Pork Roll – Nothing Like It!
“And Nature always bats last.”
I like that. Thanks.
Had not seen my younger son in law for over 6 months. He was thin 10 years ago when they got married. Now, he’s put on another 30+ lbs, his BMI has to be around 60 at age 38.
Politely told him that my daughter needs him, you must lose it, but slowly, say 3-4 lbs/mo. like I did over a year during 2011-12. From 199 to 164 for me, it’s possible.
We’ll see.

Keep some almonds, peanuts, walnuts, whatever handy and lots of GOOD water. Clean and unadulterated by the municipality.
When stomach grumbles, 10 nuts and a BIG glass of water. Grumbling stops.
3-4 hours later, grumbling starts again. Repeat.
Have a SMALL but rewarding dinner.
Went from 260#-210# quite quickly.
Druggie Nation. UGH.
He’s got further to dig in before he might wake up and fix it.
As a young boy, we use to go to the Connecticut shore on the Long Island Sound-Rocky Neck. It was back then (circa 1965) an open sewer for NYC. But the water was wet and the sand dry so we enjoyed. I was a rabid Yankee fan back then and would not miss a single afternoon game on the beach announced by Mel Allen. It was Mickey, Yogi, Moose, Casey, Billy, and Whitey. There were pizza shops on every block. One of them had a loudspeaker belting out Italian favorites by Louie Prima, Dean, and of course, Frank. It was my introduction to mostly naked girls my age. I liked that. A lot. Still do.
Thanks for the memories, Admin.
Big Carb did in the fat ones.
Paleo, I like that, Big Carba.
There are about 50% of young males still “in shape “. In the young women it’s maybe 10% and I think I’m being generous.
I grew up at the beaches of Miami and now live at the northern end of the state next to the beaches of St. Augustine.
I see it every day and I’m still gobsmacked at the level of obesity in young women. The sight of them in 2 piece bathing suits is nauseating. Plastered with shitty, tawdry tattoos they aren’t the least bit embarrassed. It has become normalized and it is grotesque.
It’s a perfect reflection of the society in which we live. Fat, lazy, slovenly and all but worthless.
I hate to say it but most deserve a quick exit from this planet.
After years of laughing at US representative Hank Johnson”s worry that Guam might “tip over” I’m starting to think there might be truth in that statement after all!

You forgot the important one, shameless. (you did note not embarrassed above)
Shame is gone. Nobody seems to feel it no matter how idiotic their statements or actions.
Until shame at ones own actions returns, there is no fixing society. So, unlikely to ever be fixed as it seems shame is obsolete.
Well, maybe not your WHOLE life.
However, some of my favorite memories, probably most, are from when I was fat, drunk and stupid. 🙂
But if you are in your thirties and STILL fat, drunk and stupid, time to self assess and improve.
If you waited until you were in your mid twenties to slim down, you could star in the 40 Year Old Virgin!…Unless you just like fucking fat uggos? I hear that’s actually a thing. Still can’t wrap my brain around that one…much less muh dik
Lizzo downvoted you
Only because she can’t raise her arms above her head!
I call them fire hydrants.
Spent a week at Santa Rosa, followed by a week next door at the Hotel Effie in Miramar. It costs too much for the detritus there, so nary a tat or obesity. Except for the darker skinned that were at Effie for an “educators” convention. Big time boo-tay.
Same (mostly) goes for Charleston & Beaufort (SC), where we live. Yeah, fat Tourons everywhere.
Exception of the rule, IMO in our world.
Is that real or Babylon bee?
It is not only feminazis telling young girls they do not have to have a man to be happy. Our givernment is quite generous in handing out benefits to single moms. So generous, in fact, that we now have 5 generations of some families who have never held a job, but they are well fed and often referred to here as ghettopotamuses.
As long as the givernment is willing to provide food, shelter medical care and a little walking around money to these women, they will remain nothing more that welfare baby factories. Their kids are getting more violent with each generation and even the girls are now getting into the action in a big way.
Government: Don’t feed the bears. They will be come dependent on handouts.
Same Government: Here are your Secion8, EBT, phone and free everything else HANDOUTS.
There was an author who wrote books about the first welfare recipients that were in the Tennessee valley back in the 1940’s and 50’s. Funny, but very serious. It gave me a good sense of how important it was to be responsible and support yourself.
TN,
Oppps ! You forgot they do have one redeeming grace for the Demoncrats-they can be counted on to vote for whatever black Demoncratic grifter they toss at the electorate.
Certainly true around here, except for the representative who is currently filling the Memphrica designated black seat, Steve Cohen.
I am constantly amused by the blacks who claim they are being discriminated against when a state legislature creates a republican district where they think it should be a black democrat district, but have no concerns when a white democrat is elected to the designated black district. One way is RAYCISS and the other is not.
You’ll never see anything but a jewish white politician in the ‘hood. They can always pull out the “6 million” card if anyone bitches.
My thoughts?
Abused people harm themselves. Tattoos and obesity are self mutilation done by people who have been psychologically beaten down.
“Smart” phones IMO emit signals that change brain waves causing addiction to the device. How else do you explain it? People literally cannot put those dam things down. It’s crack.
“Education” in this country has been garbage for decades. This is why everyone has their thumbs up their asses.
We are a nation of dumb beaten down addicts.
I kan Spells

The science term behind it is called “entrainment”
This is where an artificial signal can alter ones thinking, emotions, and even bodily functions can be stimulated or prevented.
The living human body generates a bioelectric field which extends about 3 feet out in all directions.
It is the collective total of all the signals of all life functions of every living cel, life function and the support materials.
Holding a smart phone places it inside your bioelectric field, effectively becoming part of the feed back loop of a your biolectric field, the electricalloop of all your life functions.
From here, energy from yourphone can be millions of times stronger than the micro charge created when a cell ejects one potassium ion to change its charge state.
You can see the possibilities and capabilities for endless life function disruption via cel phone emf signal generation I hope.
And other function disruption capabilities.
What you might want to take a look at is these topics:
●Human bioelectric field
●Brainwave entrainment
●Potassium ion channels [for scale reference]
This is a great start to understanding the bioelectrical systems the public schools completely ignored in the 70s.
Blessings!
I prefer Cape May, off-season. Not so crowded, still has some good restaurants, and we can bring out dog on at least two of the beaches.
I prefer Machias, Cutler or Lubec.
not so crowded? they have parking issues they won’t manage! it’s so much more pretentious there,it makes me sick. I worked in Cape May for a decade, and glad I’m out of there!
I’m glad you enjoyed your vacation, anyway. Especially Avalon not having to deal with a broken hip like a previous vacation.
I’m hoping to be ready to go to Gulf Shores in November, God willing. I’m tired of being stuck sitting around all the time.
Anti-smoking propaganda campaigns and nanny state laws.
Soda, Processed food, lack of physical activity. There’s no obesity problem in the Amish community.
There were no blue haired they/them pronoun freaks shitting on the sidewalk in SF when everybody was regularly exposed to secondhand smoke.
“There were no blue haired they/them pronoun freaks shitting on the sidewalk in SF when everybody was regularly exposed to secondhand smoke.”
I believe you may be right Stephanie.
Before smoking was banned indoors and outdoors, most of the freaks were still in the closet.
A Pandoras box analogy seems appropriate here…
OH SHIT. Please don’t make me start liking you! I was comfortable where we were at!
Praise Jesus!
Thank you for bringing up smoking. It sorely needs a comeback. Start with bars and expand further. The anti-smoking, busybody, evil, self-righteous do-gooders ruined this country by brainwashing the masses with the lie of second hand smoke. They will never just let people live their lives.
Great post. Yes, there are still a lot of good people out there, but boy, the crazies are crowding in. The picture of the girl with the tats is really depressing. This is a young woman who would be considered beautiful in any age and place, yet she has chosen to ruin her skin. They say that the job of the future is being a geneticist. Nope, the job of the future is going to be a tattoo remover. Work for life!
Steve, I respectfully disagree. The job of the foreseeable future is undertaker.
Funny that you rail about the internet and then you post your essay on the internet. If you wrote this article down in print, how many people do think would read it?
Who railed about the internet douchebag? You are the perfect example of our education system turning out retards.
Never thought of myself as a douchebag retard. Did you actually read the article you administrate. Answer the question coward. How many people do you think would read this if it was in print instead of on the internet? Or are you just going to stoop to low wit insults?
Read for comprehension fuckwad. I said absolutely nothing about the internet. I wrote the fucking article, you nitwit. Low wit insults for low wit nit wits.
Still can’t answer the question. Them dumb phones are to dumb to find the internet. Maybe, the kids are all taking selfish. I’m not blind are you? You type with a braile type writer. Believe it or not you can actually read Falavious Joshepuse on your dumb phone via the internet. Subtlety is not your strenght. So read your paperback on the beach and when you finish you can whp your greasy lips with the pages.
It’s “too” not “to” you moran.
It’s “selfies” not “selfish” you moran.
It’s “wipe” not “whp” you moran.
Does your dumb phone have spell check you dumbass?
Still can’t answer the question. You must be a politician or a Democrat. Maybe both.
No spelling or grammar errors. Well done for a village idiot.
The Internet has certainly imho been a decided negative in the outcomes of this society. It didn’t have to be that way, but again, the human condition.
The proper spelling is Flavius Josephus, numb nuts, and I’d wager you play CandyCrush on your dumbphone a shitload moaR often than reading the aforementioned ancient historian. Speaking of greasy lips…how far to your nearest I-95 reststop?
I didn’t see the movie. I only read the print.
The most shocking image of the lot? Those idiots wearing masks. Jeez, is that crap still going on over there?
It’s a sign of severe mental illness.
I’m in the Bay Area in California. Masks are very prevalent. Primarily Asians and older, white hippies. Of course, masks are a requirement for the scholars and engineers looting everything in sight.
I deal with a crazy foster mom who has her autistic female placement in a mask constantly. She’s also in and out of the hospital with bacterial pneumonia. The quack doctors in the hospital are probably cool with the masking and don’t connect the dots unless some pharma rep with a nice rack tells them about it.
NJ was stupid about masks but people wearing them in NJ now are self-abusing people. Wildwood’s mayor had no control over NJ’s fascist governor
The carb sugar insulin industrial complex.
Thank you, I always enjoy your ability write up your observations and share your experience.
Somebody give me a CHEESEBURGER.
Aw, fuck that. Let me show you how it’s done!

Not only is reading comprehension a dying art these days, apparently now listening comprehension is swirling around the drain.

“The real question is how did over half the population become obese over the last fifty years. ” Hint… there is are vegetables in vegetable oil and anything that has a shelf life of years is prolly’ gonna’ destroy your gut microbiome , too….also french fries should not have 19 ingredients, jus’ sayin’.

You hit the nail on the head with this one. The programming is mkultra level that has been foisted upon the citizenry thru nearly every media outlet, but especially the idiot box. The push into the cell phone to be more than a phone was very rapid as the dirtballs realized that the idiot box can now be placed in everyones hand and taken with them.
Fakebook was started with dark money and ce-eye-eh influence in psychological warfare was gamed into it. Literally getting people addicted to it, to the point of telling everyone what they were doing and posting stupid pics of their lunches. Then along comes twitface and the rest is history.
Anyrate, Glad you have some time off and some R&R admin.
The cellphone is gateway to the implant.

I just wrote out a long comment about how terrible this is and how it should have been handled and blah, blah, blah. Then I deleted it all. Why bother?
An author with publishing phobia eh?
Just do it.

Wow. Scope out the size of the calves on that beast on that scooter, with her handsome looking male fella.
Those motorized buggies should have a weight limit advisory strictly enforced.
I mean, nobody in their right mind would try to use a Pinto to transport and deliver a large load of bricks.
If anybody needs to be walking for exercise it’s those two. Sad.
~Walkers admired.
Even those using collapsable aluminum ones with wheels & handlebars, for the hipsters and oldsters needing stability as they amble around.
“Check out the size of those calves…”
Those ain’t calves, they’re cows!
How can they afford to eat so much?
The public pajama wearing and way too small clothes on way too large people is very troubling.
We’re watching the complete Little House on the Prairie series on Prime and every commercial is for prescription drugs, vaccines and queers.
Excellent observations of our fallen former American empire. I was born in the 3rd term of FDR and lament the same conclusions daily to my wife of 47 years. I wrote the 432 pages of my book “It’s Over” during the first Obama term predicting the chaotic future of this country. I see virtually the same degradation of the masses here in rural Georgia that you see in Wildwood albeit at a slower pace. You end your piece on an optimistic note. I do not. This is a global phenomenon which cannot be reversed. It’s over.
Everything you have described is true and the reason is simple. The Medical Mafia conspires with the Food Mafia and the Insurance Mafia. They don’t want you dead. They don’t want you healthy. They want you somewhere in between
The entire plan is explained in “You’re Not Fat. You’re Toxic” available at Amazon. It explains the system and tells what you can do for yourself against it.
What I have learned over the years is that they are poisoning our food system! I really noticed the obesity rate go up when they banned trans fats. I do not know what they put in the new cooking oil they are using in the fryers, but I can tell you that I can no longer eat any fried foods from a restaurant. If I do I’m on the toilet within 15 minutes of eating it. That’s one thing. The other thing is I remember when a hamburger used to drip grease when you ate it. Burger King, Wendy’s and McDonald’s quarter pounder all dripped natural grease when you ate them. Now all of them taste like dried out hockey pucks. You have to have some grease in these meats to help lubricate the digestive system. Then there is the sodas. There were no diet sodas when I was a kid , they all had real sugar in them and it was a special treat to have a soda. We either drank water from the hose or kool-aid year round. Another thing is everything was in re-used glass bottles and nothing was in plastic that was liquid that was used for consumption. Lard was used for cooking and not cooking oil. Even the fryer oil had to be heated up to bring it to a liquid state.
The medical industry has been lying to us for years on what is good and not good for you to eat. Good and bad cholesterol levels are just an arbitrary number they picked out to peddle their cholesterol medication. How is it possible for somebody to be twice the size of me at my height, to have a lower cholesterol level than I do? Especially when walk, swim, and rollerblade practically every day. I am still at my Air Force weight when I was on active duty and in the reserves. I was never apart of the chub club while I was in. I have stayed fit throughout my life. The only explanation I have is all of this stuff is made up. I eat everything the doctors tells me that is bad for me, red meat, dairy, and eggs and I am in perfect health than most people half my age. Even the last time that I was at the base hospital they told me that my blood pressure was lower than most of the people who work there. I always take it with a grain of salt with the advice that the medical professionals give me! They cannot be trusted anymore! Remember the Rockefeller’s saying they cannot make any money off of healthy or cured people!
Excellent comment share,thanks MK!
Food, Inc. and SickCare, Inc. is a symbiotic relationship. It’s the chemistry that binds.
There is a reason High Fructose Corn Syrup is banned in every country other than the US. And there is a reason it is NOT banned in the US.
Most people have slept through 50 years of attacks by the US government.
Wiki disagrees.

Ummm, what do you think, or is your wiki link your answer?
There is a reason High Fructose Corn Syrup is banned in every country other than the US.
This is false.
The beautiful old psychiatric hospital grounds (where they filmed the movie Police Academy in 1983) has today become the lakeshore campus of Humber College. This has had its predicted effect on the makeup of the local neighborhood. A large school’s population of young people can of course be quite invigorating to the surrounding community.
But it’s so true about these young women – they are covered in tats! Big nasty, ugly ones too, that you can see on their legs from far away. Yikes…
Not yet twenty years old! So what on earth is going on?
I should mention that most of these tats are installed upon young 200+ pound women with purple or green hair, and I worry that the overall prognosis for the neighborhood (just like the wider world) is… not so good.
But I shouldn’t judge – because I see that the young college men of today are not exactly as I remember, either!
The styles are a messaging system.
The obesity, green and purple hair, the entitled attitudes, the piercings, ,the language.. are all there telling you the same warning: “Do not breed with it”
Instead, give it a peanut and go see the lion cage.
Reading your column, watching The Steve Deace Show, and reading the headlines on the LibertyDaily. Considering sniffing glue or using my gas over for off label purposes. /s
Yes, people eat too much but it’s malnutrition that is causing it. Much like third world peoples eating dirt to fill their stomachs. They have fat bellies from malnutrition. The rest isn’t fat because they don’t have much to eat.
WAAAAT!!! A load of rubbish that is. Your legs, arms and multiple folds of blubber do not come from malnutrition, period. It comes from eating oils and sugars mostly, highly processed ‘foods’, and sedentary lifestyles, sit’n around doing neth’n but eating and watching the idiot box.
What Is Malnutrition?
Malnutrition is a condition that results from nutrient deficiency or overconsumption.
Types of malnutrition include:
●Undernutrition: This type of malnutrition results from not getting enough protein, calories or micronutrients. It leads to low weight-for-height (wasting), height-for-age (stunting) and weight-for-age (underweight).
●Overnutrition: Overconsumption of certain nutrients, such as protein, calories or fat, can also lead to malnutrition. This usually results in overweight or obesity.

Yessir. I spent a week in Wildwood this summer, as I do most summers since my wife is from Philly, and had the same observations.
It’s interesting that you mentioned tattoos in this article. As many others, it’s shocking to see how many people have these hideous blobs of ink on their bodies today… even old women with purple hair trying to look “cool” to their grandchildren I suppose.
One aspect of tattoos that very few people ever mention is what the tattoo ink is doing to their bodies. Numerous articles are out there… do some research… it’s horrifying! Ink in the blood stream, in the lymphatic fluid, settles into the lymph nodes. All kinds of metals in the ink including titanium. No telling what the results will be down the road, but it can’t be good. Glad I’m tattoo free.
