    Yeah, you beat me to it. They have those humane shock collars now that, instead of sending electrical currents, spray you in the face with the scent of skunk ass. That would surely kill a person's n

    Probably cheaper than a sleeve surgery. Less chance of a leak. But someone would find a way to eat around it.....I think I could stick donuts in my vitamix and drink them through a straw.

I'm waiting for v. 3.0.

Seriously, this is goofy. I heard about this on the news. The battery runs down after 4 hours.

I needed a good laugh!!!

I think Ms. Antiband is on to something, we could market that!

I was thinking that a good jaw wiring would be a good start.

Or malted milkshakes.... Mmmmmmm.

If it were April 1st... i would call bogus on it. LOL

At first I thought it said it would send a message to her phone to call her... you know, sorta like a monitored alarm system when the call center calls you back when it goes off to see if you are okay... We could set up a call center off shore and they call you to talk you out of it... "butter, everything is going to be fine, just put down the donut... and slowly back away"

I kinda like the shock or skunk ass collar idea too, but then I would never get enough water in either....
