HAHA! Look, there's some fat people in line at Deen's restaurant! HAHA! -- nm - Stephen Jun 22, 19:48 3
- fat *racist* people -- nm - charlie Jun 22, 20:20 2
  - I'm sure Nicole T. Green would take exception to that characterization. .. -- nm - Stephen Jun 22, 20:22 1
    - nobody should be apologizing for Paula Deen, no matter what their skin color -- nm - charlie Jun 22, 20:24
This got me looking up her English Peas recipe again -- (link) - amoxy Jun 22, 19:40
I worry about the shortage of fat white people in other parts of the south today. -- nm - David Jun 22, 19:27 14
- Yeah, I'm generally not cool with bagging on people for their weight, but there does seem to be an uncoincidental theme in that pic. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 22, 19:30 13
  - You could take a picture like that in front of any restaurant in the country... -- nm - Stephen Jun 22, 19:49 12
    - This would be a fun group project for tomorrow. Everyone should take a picture of their brunch crowd. -- nm - David Jun 22, 20:12
    - No you can't. In fact, the number of restaurants you can do that at are far and few between. -- nm - MDH Jun 22, 20:00 10
      - I think you and Stephen are thinking of different restaurants -- nm - Roger More Jun 22, 20:02 9
        
        I think he's missing the point entirely... -- nm - Stephen Jun 22, 20:05 8
        
        I'm not at all. I don't like ripping on overweight people, (it runs in my family), but it just shows everything about Paula Deen's unhealthy cooking. - MDH Jun 22, 20:09 7
        
        And you think it's only in front of Deen's restaurant that you'd find overweight people? - Stephen Jun 22, 20:11 6
        
        no one said only. But you don't champion yourself as the queen of unhealthy eating without getting some blowback over the consequences. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 20:15 3
        
        Ok, but "far and few between" is still ridiculously inaccurate. - Stephen Jun 22, 20:20 2
        
        There are a lot of damn Cracker Barrells. - MDH Jun 22, 20:26
        
        So is "any restaurant in the country". Hyperbole, meet hyperbole. -- nm - Roger More Jun 22, 20:25
        
        Well, not *only*. But it's hardly surprising either. -- nm - Roger More Jun 22, 20:15
        
        FWIW, that picture embodies Sir Mixalot's vision of a better world. - David Jun 22, 20:14
The use of "pickle" in this keeps throwing me - prayformojo Jun 22, 19:24 2
- Personally, I wondered if the pickle was battered, wrapped in bacon and deep fried. -- nm - Tim Jun 22, 19:27
- Couldn't one just eat their way out of a pickle? -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 19:25
A picture is worth a thousand...(nm) - amoxy Jun 22, 19:22
I don't defend her and could care less about her, but I agree with the last three paragraphs. - JaxSean Jun 22, 19:20 2
- It ultimately comes down to: The Food Network thinks she's a bigger liability than an asset. The south needs to get over itself. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 19:24 1
  - Sure. She's also past her prime and doesn't need them, and they don't need her. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 22, 19:42
and none of them can shop at Abacrombie Fitch! -- nm - peglegpete Jun 22, 19:19
"She's from another time." She was born after fricking WWII! -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 19:13 7
- Right - a lot of us are from another time but we've learned to adapt. Things that were once acceptable are not now! - Meg Jun 22, 19:38 5
  - Now if we could just get you to stop stealing things from the backs of long haul trucks at rest stops. - Mel Profit Jun 22, 19:43 4
    - it's not like she can heave a 60" tv around anymore without help :(( -- nm - peglegpete Jun 22, 20:00
    - you might as well be speaking Swahili to her - Reagen Jun 22, 19:44 2
      - I'm way more fluent in Zulu..... -- nm - Meg Jun 22, 20:13
      - you under estimate her, Reagen. She knows. *taps my forehead* she knows. - Mel Profit Jun 22, 19:51
- but it's Skynnard! -- nm - zork Jun 22, 19:15
