But the real point was about how defeatism and resignation becomes self fulfilling prophecy. Realism isn't always realism, quite often it's depression or its cynicism or its nihilism.

Version, we are all drawing nude self portraits tonight. It's the group project for today. Can you get your pencils out and head over to the drawing thread please? You too comelately.

You're missing the point. I don't want to have the argument you want to have. It's a hobby horse of yours I know, but I'm not interested.

Well the country is in desperate need of a progressive government and you've inadvertently hit on why that hasn't happened while nearly everything is continually getting worse and worse, so it goes a bit beyond whatever you consider to be my personal "hobby horse".

But we're obviously not going to agree so I won't take it any further.

I lied.

I'm not actually eating smoked fat without bread. Though I do genuinely have smoked fat from Lehel Market in the fridge. And yes, it is nice. Salt is essential. Some sliced red or spring onion also works well. A little mustard/horseradish maybe, not too much.

The photo is from the internets.

I can see this working, actually. Salt is needed for very fatty foods (such as pure fat!) to stop them tasting cloying and even nauseating. I've never really got the point of unsalted butter for this reason.

I mean butter itself is mostly fat, so 'fat on bread' isn't much different from bread and butter.

Not when I'm dirty bulking.....

I finally asked him one day how he did it.

"You mean I never told you the secret to gaining weight? Come outside and I'll fill you in."

Now remember, we're at Westside Barbell. And this guy wants to go outside to talk so no one else can hear. Think about that for a minute. What the hell is he going to tell me? This must be some serious shit if we have to go outside, I thought.

So we get outside and he starts talking.

"For breakfast you need to eat four of those breakfast sandwiches from McDonalds. I don't care which ones you get, but make sure to get four. Order four hash browns, too. Now grab two packs of mayonnaise and put them on the hash browns and then slip them into the sandwiches. Squish that shit down and eat. That's your breakfast."

At this point I'm thinking this guy is nuts. But he's completely serious.

"For lunch you're gonna eat Chinese food. Now I don't want you eating that crappy stuff. You wanna get the stuff with MSG. None of that non-MSG bullshit. I don't care what you eat but you have to sit down and eat for at least 45 minutes straight. You can't let go of the fork. Eat until your eyes swell up and become slits."

"For dinner you're gonna order an extra-large pizza with everything on it. Literally everything. If you don't like sardines, don't put 'em on, but anything else that you like you have to load it on there. After you pay the delivery guy, I want you to take the pie to your coffee table, open that fucker up, and grab a bottle of oil. It can be olive oil, canola oil, whatever. Anything but motor oil. And I want you to pour that shit over the pie until half of the bottle is gone. Just soak the shit out of it."

"Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that fucker. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals."

This guy is in a zen-like state when he's talking about this.

"Now you're on the clock," he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you're full. Don't listen to that shit. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I'm telling you now, you're going to get three or four pieces in and you're gonna want to quit. You fucking can't quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.

And if you can't finish it, don't you ever come back to me and tell me you can't gain weight. 'Cause I'm gonna tell you that you don't give a fuck about getting bigger and you don't care how much you lift!"
