Hummer - Is it a Car or a Van

Recently while searching for van hire we at Derr eThings were appaled to see the appearance of Hummers here in the UK.  It would appear that some petrolheaded entrepeneur has had the bright idea of offering these monster-osities to geezers - focussing initially of the van hire london market.

Here's the thoughts of one of our freinds from across the pond:

Hummer is incredibly trashy-looking and ridiculously ugly car. Forget about the whole global warming, impact of climate change thing, that hulky steel box is UGLY and beyond tasteless. No, people make fun of it not because it gets bad mileage, people make fun of it because it makes you look like a uneducated rednecky hick that can't spell A to Z.

I still possess several windshield stickers which I enjoy affixing to the drivers-side window of extra-obnoxious vehicles that park along side me in parking lots. Of course, they say:
S Stupid
U Useless
V Van

No Buts its got to be butter

Margarine has fats in it that aren't found in nature. Refined polyunsaturated veg oil is an industrial novelty (whose introduction coincides with the rise of heart disease, and is implicated in most mental conditions).

Nutritionist have been peddling ideas based on dubious research - statistics produces pseudo-science - that are 180 degrees in contradiction to our hunter gather evolutionary heritage of 3 million years. There were no plump, sweet fruits 30,000 years ago: anthropologists even think there is no original, unmanipulated fruit left on the planet. Think crab apples and damsons for something closer to the truth (small and sour).

Just consider that most veg is inedible uncooked and much of it mildly toxic.

And since the unproven saturated-fat-heart disease theory has now been effectively shown to be only true of marge it's time to pick up a big piece of meat on the bone and eat real food again.

Here's raising my glass to butter! (Avoid 'Willow', it's mostly marge).
