Snowboarders are a Different Breed...

U.S. snowboarder SCOTT LAGO won a Bronze medal in the Halfpipe event last week. Then he decided to use his medal to help PICK UP CHICKS.


--Lago wore his bronze medal and a Team U.S.A. t-shirt while partying in Vancouver late Thursday night. And TMZ got photos of him allowing an Olympic party chick to BITE his medal while he held it.


--Then Lago and the girl decided to take it a step further. He put the medal around his WAIST, and she kneeled to kiss it while it dangled down the front of his pants.


--Lago arrived back in the States on Saturday, but he didn't seem too torn up by the controversy. He wrote a post on Twitter saying, quote, "Keeping my medal in a safe spot for now haha."




So is this enough to get sent home from the Olympics???

A TORONTO NEWSPAPER RAN A LUGE-THEMED AD RIGHT NEXT TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE DEAD LUGER:


Someone at the Toronto newspaper "The Globe and Mail" wasn't paying attention to the layout on Tuesday.


--The paper ran an Olympic-themed ad from the Chartered Accountants of Canada on page O12. It showed a luge racer and said, "When there are no brakes to rely on, every decision matters."


--Directly opposite the ad, on page O13 was an article titled "Games still reeling from shock of luger's death." (--Check out these unfortunately placed items here . . .)

4 Tips to lose weight

HERE ARE FOUR DIET TIPS TO HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT:


As an American, it's practically your patriotic duty to become an obese, self-centered loud-mouth. But if you'd rather be a self-centered loud-mouth of average size, here are four diet tips to help you shed those extra pounds:


#1.) Start walking: The American Heart Association recommends you take 10,000 steps every day. That's like walking three miles a day. Or 1,095 miles a year.


--But while the average European walks about 237 miles a year, the average American walks just 87 miles a year. That's about 8% of how much you should be walking.


#2.) Eat slower: For most Americans, eating a meal involves stuffing their face with as much food as possible, as quickly as possible. But studies have shown that eating slowly can help you feel full quicker, which will prevent overeating.


#3.) Eat-in more: The average American eats more than half their meals at restaurants, while residents of the healthiest countries in the world eat out only on special occasions.


#4.) Be careful with tropical fruits: If you're trying to lose weight, eating more fruit is a good place to start. But watch out for tropical fruits like pineapple and coconut because they have the highest fat and sugar content of all fruits.


(That's Fit)

Just remember, start off slow and work your way up with more exercise.

Most importantly cut down portion sizes!!!
