Babe Ruth regularly ate WHAT every day?!

Allegedly, Babe Ruth scarfed a porterhouse steak, 4+ fried eggs, fried potatoes, coffee, and a full pint of whiskey mixed with ginger ale—for breakfast every single day. His wife added he downed ~2.5 lbs of rare steak daily with a bottle of chili sauce. Hot dogs (4–12 at a time) and Cokes were constant snacks too. Nobody could pull that off today. Pro athletes follow rigid 3,000–5,000-calorie plans with macros, hydration, and sleep tracking—no room for whiskey breakfasts or endless red meat. Health-wise? 10k–12k calories of saturated fat, sodium, and booze daily would wreck most people: obesity, heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver, and skyrocketing cancer risk. Ruth’s insane activity burned some, but he still landed in the hospital from indigestion and died at 53. Legend... but a nutritional nightmare!

Bullshit, my diet isn't much different and I just turned 65 a few months ago. 16 years more than my dad made it (49) under a physician's care.

Haven't been to a doctor for years except for injuries.

Zero Rx, just supplements. (As per Horse's recommendations, mostly.) Avoid sugar, NO HFCS drinks, I use stevia as a primary sweetener or cane sugar.

Smoke a pack/day. Montego Reds, similar to Marlboro Reds, but cheaper, and they don't have that 'fire-safe' BS taste.

I'll never die. (I will die, right after the clot-shots catch up to Kimmy.) I was damned lucky she turned up two and a half years ago. I won't have a reason to live after that.

While I don't eat at much as 'The Babe' it's still a lot.

I doubt he died of 'indigestion', he probably popped. Kinda like my house is gonna do if one more person sends me 'the latest and greatest' DooDad that I don't need.

For Dr. Kimmy...

"I just answered you twice but this damn PC deleted both answers without asking if I wanted to delte it.To hell with this damn piece of shit.

My Company-issued All-In-One HP POS isn't exactly a high-powered, water-cooled gamer's dream system.
My "Fauchi & Gates Want Us Dead Wednesday" caused a couple high-temperature shutdowns today.
I'm sure it wasn't the content. LOL. 

"Nothhing wrong with meat and eggs."

I know that now. Nothing wrong with smoking either.
If there was, smoking would be mandatory and cigs would be free, not taxed to death. What are they trying to suppress?

"Bye"

Not to be fussy, but there's better ending salutations.
You make me want to call the suicide hotline and have the local PD do a "wellness check" when you say that.

Of course I never would do that unless you called me and said, "I'M GOIN' OUT PAC. THEY'RE NOT GONNA TAKE ME ALIVE!"

I've had people do that to me a few times. The cops know who I worked for in the past. That was supposed be a secret.
After the shooting in 2008, that cat was out of the bag.
The last time they only sent a couple of squads. The late Angie went out and yelled at them, "What do you want?"
She called me and told me to get up and talk to the cops.

I went out in my black boxer briefs and said "what?"

"Are you OK?"
"I just took some aspirin and was taking a nap because I'm hurting."
They were pretty pissed that I wasn't the kooky badass they expected to shoot.

They have records of false calls too. I got four squads when I called the desk sergeant to make an accident report about the garbage truck guys wiping out 40' of my fence.
That was somewhere between 40 squads and two.

I had wanted to tell you about my new quick food, healthy snack.

Take one sheet of dried seaweed and wrap that around diced avocado, topped with 
broccoli seed sprouts and kimchi.

I am going to fix one or two wraps right now.

Somehow this stupid PC kept deleting what I had written.
I also noted of late it somehow stops typing and opens up a window asking to select an emoji!!
What BS. I do not do emojis.
Bye

Wrong. Nicotine has many benefits.
If smoking was bad, Biden would've mandated it and subsidized it, like clot-shots.
