this diet is enforced by having speciall pins in your ass that really hurt when you sit. you can rest by laying down, but you cant sit. so you either sleep or rest or stand or walk thereby burning lots of calories.

       This is cruel and unusual [+].

       Are there special pins that keep me from walking into a burger restaurant, and having thrice my daily calories input 'to go'?

       diet? This isn't a diet.

       I'm already on a diet. The I go to the gym diet.
jaksplat, Feb 07 2009
  

       As [WcW] said; the proposal is not a diet. Please look up the term in a respectable dictionary...
vincevincevince, Feb 07 2009
  

       [vincevincevince], in the Oxford English Dictionary (which you may or may not choose to respect), the sense 'Way of living or thinking' pre-dates the sense 'Way of feeding'. The fact that this sense is obsolete only adds to my pleasure in it.   

       [zevkirsch], although this site may not yet have a category called "body:health:arse-piercing", I'm sure you can do better than "other:general".

       I'm on exactly this diet. I have a baby who screams if you sit down when you're holding him. Eating, chatting, watching telly, everything must be done standing. I'm sure it's very good for me.

       How about a diet enforced by having sharp pins in your tongue, that really hurt when you try to eat something? Or the infamous "toothache diet", along similar lines.

       I think it's a little unfair to point out that IF we used the word it was derived from IN another language AND historical era, the usage would be correct. Sadly that makes the usage no less wrong (unless you cue us in by using italics.)

       (-) Dumb.

       Sorry. {Adjusts historical era setting on wristwatch}

       Dumb, but less dumb than a lot of "diets" out there.

       I kind of laughed when I read it...

       I'm just glad there was more involved than an honor system. Because, in my hectic opinion, anyone experiencing vanity pains has no time to be honorable. Maybe splitting the wood in all your chairs would help, too?
daseva, Feb 09 2009
  

       Hey, wagster, I had a daughter who wouldn't let me sit down also. I had to walk all the time. I tried pretending to walk while sitting--you know, simulating the motions; no dice, she could tell the difference. I think she could tell even when I was just planning to try to sit down. I don't recall if it was actually good for me, but somehow it's become a pleasant memory.

       1 Samuel 5:6But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.   

       9And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.   

       12And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

       It might be worth noting that Dagon their god was not allowed to sit either. I am not sure if he had a butt though, butt he probably did
MercuryNotMars, Feb 10 2009
  

       Or even better you could try Jenny crack I hear it works wonders but seriously wouldn't lying down all the time burn even less calories than sitting?
Spaceman Spiff, Feb 10 2009
  

       It might, but you can't lie down on chairs etc., so you would end up standing for a lot of the time.

       They got hemorrhoids if I remember the story correctly. Suggesting that the ark might have been an attempt at biological warfare rather than a highly valued relic (which you happened to bring to a major battle). Note how elaborate the construction details are on the ark, and the ease with which it fell into the hands of the enemy.
