I thought I was the only one that found that thread bizarre. A bunch of grown men obsessed with football fashion.
Yep, I hate them. I think it's a Canada thing, they moved up there when husband was 9. Sort of pseudo British, they eat vinegar with their fries, even have it at McDonald's.
Salt and vinegar are the bomb. I'd put them right behind dill pickle chips.
Oh, no, hope he is not washing in down with soda pop because then you have Boxster's Devil's Duel going.
This might be why you have trouble gaining/maintaining weight, your hubby binges all of the fatty high carbo foods before you can have any.
Full disclosure: I do occasionally buy a bag of Byerly's kettle chips as a side treat with hamburger or lunch sammichs but am pretty disciplined on proportion management.
Lulz he gave up pop because like you he thinks it is the devil. I start every morning with a Coke Zero.
I have never been big on salty food and as a result I get frequent leg, feet, and toe cramps. Sister and I are both double jointed in the toes and both get cramps in them, not sure if that is just coincidence or not.
So really the only time I eat chips is when I have been getting leg cramps. And all that is available are those little salty crumby bits in about four bags husband has failed to throw away.
Like Birdy, picked up Papa Murphy's pizza last night and did not get leg/foot/toe cramps for first night in a while. Must be plenty salted. So instead, woke up from dog scared of fireworks about 2:00 a.m.

At this moment they are playing with these:
And when they get home this evening they will be expecting their wife/GF to be all dressed up in a nurse or French maid outfit.
My favorite was when ISU entered the red zone and they played the irritating Case IH Red Zone sound effect. ISU promptly gave up a negative yardage play taking them out of the red zone. The following play they gained the yardage back and THEY PLAYED THE COMMERCIAL AGAIN to groans from the home team fans and laughter and jeers from the visitors section. They must have hastily changed the sponsorship contract with Case IH because I don't think they made that mistake again.Holy crap! 500 has been around for ever and ever...how could he NOT know? I still remember it from when we had season tickets. We HATED it when the announcer would say "the Cyclones have entered the Case IH red zone"...and we'd all go "NOOOOOOOOOOO - don't jinx them!" because they seemed to score more from OUTSIDE the red zone.
I like how the paper doll even has his eye black on.At this moment they are playing with these:

When husband went to the doctor, he had gained the ten pounds I was supposed to gain. He just can't understand why, because he has been working out even more. I suggested it might be: (1) instead of exercising more, he may need to add variety to his workout, he always does bike and Nordic track,maybe put interval work in that; (2) maybe it's the consumption of giant bags of chips; (3) maybe it's the protein powder he's been downing with milk like a milkshake. He says the protein powder should be helping him eat less chips. I don't know, I stuck my finger in the powder and it tastes sweet. Does that stuff have a bunch of sugar or does the sweet taste counteract the protein and increase appetite, kind of like diet pop allegedly does?
WHAR WHITE HELMETS???At this moment they are playing with these:

Saw a pic last night on Twitter of a gentleman who participated in one of those extreme races. (Like, 100 miles in length, and hey, let's race through Death Valley!) He forgot sunblock on the back of his legs. Ew ew ew ew. The blisters were probably 10 inches in length, and raised 3-4 inches.
First off, good grief! 500 should know better.
I still remember that little diddy was played on the video board 2x in about 3 minutes one year. They get inside the 20, then a penalty took them outside the 20, then they got back inside. Yeah, my group all rolled our eyes on that one.
Binge eating...possible TMI, but there are women that crave chocolate/sweets during certain times? My husband threatens to purchase a salt lick for me.
And, "crisis" averted! There were some Dum-Dums at work. (I'm talking the mini lollipops here, although we have the human variety, too...just like any workplace) ANYWAY! Grabbed a root beer one saying it was for the "troubles" I had to go through this morning. Right after I said that, it dawned on me. "Wait! It's candy!" Returned it to the basket.
Edit: Seems like Velo and I were posting at the same time

OMG this looks like football player paper dolls! I bet they don't even make paper dolls anymore unless there is an app for it.
As someone who has looked in on that thread from time to time I can honestly say that I am greatly disappointed that I can only like this post once.
Duh Sara, you know from Harry Potter that chocolate actually can cure dementor hangover as well as that women's issue that shall not be named.
Agree that S&V are terrible. I like kettle chips with sea salt, jalapeno, cheddar and sour cream, and bbq, in that order.
@BoxsterCy has done a fine job of shaming my lack of cycling miles so I went for a ride to and through the park last night. The big north loop was closed because of trail maintenance which meant I had to take the shorter south loop which is normally busier and was busier still due to the north loop closure. This all results in a Velo cycling rant.

All in all a good night on the bike. Did an estimated 19 miles in 62 minutes. The Boxster HeadwindTM kicked up for the final stretch home and final climb to make sure I was good and tired by the time I got home.
If you go out summer cross country skiing with a dozen of you closest teenage friends do not ski three abreast taking up the whole width of the trail into blind curves.
If you summer cross country ski three abreast and you see oncoming traffic move over for the oncoming traffic.
If you move over for oncoming traffic give the oncoming traffic more than 2 feet of the trail.
Good grief, the amount of trail these ladies gave me wasn't much more than the width of my handlebars and than wasn't even taking into account the ski poles that were flailing about everywhere. Of course I did a figure 8 through the trails so I got to encounter this group twice and doubly enjoy their lack of trail awareness.

Depends on the powder, and his portions would be a good question for him.
If he's just doing casual exercise, protein powders are usually too big a portion in general, just like Gatorade. He needs to be pretty intense for that stuff to really be beneficial.
Kettle Cooked sea salt & vinegar.
