Paul,
I remember you from Cheers and especially enjoyed the role you played
as the love interest of the Chubby Chasers.
How tall are you, as that is important to know; you look to be about
5'9", but it's hard to tell on the small screen.
I'm just over 6'4" and at 315 pounds I certainly looked chubby but my
belly wasn't anything I could have really sat a plate on while eating
dinner in front of the TV.
I work with a couple of Brits, and being an American I think being
from Manchester, UK throws you into that category ... of being
British. Maybe in the future, to keep things simple for we Americans
you could refer to your location in terms of how close to London,
England you are. ("London" won't be enough. I'm 30 minutes from
London, Ohio ... USA, which, oddly enough, is where London, England
got its name.)
Anyway, of the two Brits I work with, one is pencil thin (and sounds
just like Ringo Starr, especially when Ringo was singing background on
The White Album). The other was sort of normal sized -- that is, not
terribly fat.
So. 100% of the Brits I know in person seem thin by American
standards. Hell, one of them is thin by Ethiopian standards.
What I'm getting at is that I don't know if the English people have
the genes or the means to become big, fat tubs of lard.
Genetic problems are hard to overcome.
As for the 'means,' well, I blame the BBC. I've seen what passes for
TV over there and none of it is of the type that would draw a man to
sit in front of the TV (tele) for hours at a time and stuffing his
face full of chips (either kind, those things you guys eat with fish
or the kind we eat that you might call crisps).
Oh, and while your beer seems to be pretty good, I think drinking it
warm severely limits the amount you can toss down in a single sitting.
You know, a guy I work with has the belly you want. It looks solid,
firm, and round. I'm convinced if you flipped it with a finger like
you might a melon that the sound it would make would resonate
throughout the building.
He seems to eat a lot of Twinkies and Ho Hos.
So, here are my suggestions:
- Eat more Twinkies and Ho Hos
- Drink colder beer, more of it, and no American brands
- Watch more DVDs. British TV is crap. Except for Monty Python, that
thing Simon Pegg is in, Dog Eat Dog (with the hot blonde), The
Avengers (Emma Peel preferred), and The Prisoner. So, mostly, just
current British TV.
- Eat more chips (Either kind. Crisps or Freedom Fries).
- Eat lots of ice cream.
(Seriously ... I think belly type is more a function of genetics. I
blossomed up to 370 pounds and never had a ball belly and I seemed to
get chubbier everywhere. The guy I work with that has the melon belly
seems to get fat mostly in the belly. He has no ass and his face isn't
really fat. A lot of it depends on hour our body type stores the fat
we have. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Oh, my tips still
stand ... eat more, do less.)
