Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

I love popcorn but I'm not supposed to eat in account of my Crohn's Disease and all. I usually refrain from eating it except for once a season, and I usually save that day for a day at the movies.

Why is that? I known nothing about crohns, what else cant you eat
 
"There is no feud. There is just me being awesome, and you sucking."

-The verbal RKO I just hit Dagger Dias with.

I'm not positive if this is for everybody with Crohn's but I beleive they're suppose to eliminate foods high in casein & gluten, also smoking is really really bad.

No, but nice try Justin. I think you're thinking of celiac disease.

No, Crohn's disease is where part of your digestive system is constricted and tighter, making it harder to absorb nutrients and for certain food to pass through the system. Ideally you only eat easily digestible foods, like liquids, simple carbohydrates, etc., but that's simply not realistic. I do try to stay away from foods with high roughage like spinach, nuts, and corn, but occasionally I like to enjoy a packet of peanuts or some popcorn at the movies, but when I do eat that it's really important that I chew it carefully and thoroughly.
 
uh, well, that and one of the most massive droughts in that time period. Had he pressed further into Italy his army most likely would have collapsed upon itself.

You and I haven't talked recently. We're still friends, right? You're not still mad at me for slacking off on NXT watching duties?

Can't say I have heard the suggestion that drought was part of the reason for Attila's withdrawal from Italy - some sort of epidemic (dysentery or the like), Aetius' army and the Hunnic inability to take large cities, but no drought.
 
Man, I need to get a job and move out of my parent's house. I've only been here one day, but it's already too much. They're demanding so much of me, like cleaning the dishes after dinner! And earlier today I had to move move a couple of azalea bushes! It's torture!

No, but seriously, I really want to move into my own apartment and be a grown up.

Being at home for more than a weekend after you've moved out can be like torture. I love my family, but I couldn't live with them again.
 
The Dagger Dias saga continues. He just told me that life begins at conception as if this is an indisputable fact, and then asked me for help on how to become a better poster.

Well it's not torture, yet, but if I have to stay here for more than a couple months I might shoot myself. I haven't been home for more than two consecutive months since I was 19, so the idea of making this a long term stay is... unappealing.

Truthfully, I have the money to rent my own place right now, but I don't want to rent anything until I have an idea of where I'm going to be located for work considering I'm willing to accept a job almost anywhere in the country. The only place I really don't want to work is the reddest of red states.

Yeah, I'm looking at you Mississippi.

Start by chugging a bottle of bleach?

Can't disagree with any of that logic. Especially since most places that aren't overly expensive make you sign a lease for at least 6 months, if not a year. The worst would be getting a job offer and having to come up with the money to terminate your lease early.

I don't have straight up Crohn's but I have colon issues and popcorn is one of those things that I'm not supposed to eat. Nuts also fall into that category.

There's a lot of things I'd like to purchase to start my real life right now, but I really can't until I figure out what my work situation is. I'm talking to some guy starting up his own company, and I'd really like that to work out, but I also don't want to pass up on opportunities that would be more fruitful and fulfilling right away. Being an adult is complicated!

The colon is about where my Crohn's is located, actually. It can be anywhere in the digestive system, but mine is located at the part that connects the small intestine to the large intestine. It sucks not being able to eat some of those foods, but you get used to it.
 
I want to go out tonight. Not drinking (already did some of that) this afternoon at a mini party we had. Good times were had. I just want to go out to a diner or something and just shoot the shit. I can't wait for the summer when my kid brother's done school and those runs can be made.

I'd hit up a diner with ya, but you live there & I live here & well that's just too much distance between here & there.
 
I haven't been online for a few days so this is a bit late.
The ceremony wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and the commencement speaker was actually quite good. Regardless, JGlass is no officially a college graduate, and cum laude to boot. I'm celebrating by drinking a pint while I wait for my family.
1. Congrats.
2. Insert Cum Laude sex joke here.
 
I'm revising oncology. The annotation for one of the slides is simply Jesus Christ! There is good reason for this. Cancer drugs are equal parts cool and absolutely horrifying.

Oh, and do yourselves a favour, don't google image search extravasation. Jesus Christ was putting it mildly.
 
For anyone who's following my weight loss still, I'm at 315.8 that's 55.5 Total. Let's just hope I don't lose 11.1 Next week....

I weigh in on Mondays only, and June 3rd is my first weigh in, in June. 299 June 3rd is seeming easier now.

I don't think anybody was going to, but thanks for the extra warning.

Well, you're going to be at 66.6 pounds lost at some point, even if you don't see it. Regardless of superstitious numbers, dropping 50 pounds is incredible. Keep up the good work.

Really? Its actually the only main one ive EVER heard. Rome as in one of the worst droughts in the history of the empire, and sacking it offered little hope of sustaining his army, and was of little use beyond saying "we did it". The was little to no food to feed his army the further they pressed south.
 
One of you disagree with me. I could use the practice.

Zack Ryder, a flash in the pan? Maybe, but it's difficult to tell if something's just a flash in the pan if you go, "Ah, the pan flashed! Dorothy, quick, get my baseball bat - we've got to destroy the oven!" The idea that it's Zack's fault that he's no longer popular, when he was very popular before he inexplicably lost the US title to Jack Swagger and then reppeared once every six months to lie down for some random heel, is pretty funny. The idea that he couldn't be utilised better than he currently is is funnier still. The implication that he was actually tested out is enough to make you fall on the floor and struggle for breath for five minutes.

Daniel Bryan hasn't relied on 'outside popularity' - he's proven he's one of the best professional wrestlers in the world; in the ring; with a microphone; even on commentary... when talking about bears. Kofi Kingston's a midcarder. R-Truth's a midcarder. Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger - midcarders. Daniel Bryan is a main eventer. Daniel Bryan is comfortably skilled enough and popular enough. Oh, and he's been with WWE three years now. John Cena won his first WWE title in under three years.

Internet people aren't ghosts. Money from people with an internet connection is the same as money from people without one. Shit, people with an internet connection probably have PayPal - you can make money from them even quicker. What Zack Ryder proved is that internet popularity can translate into real popularity: selling t-shirts, putting asses in seats, getting televisions turned on, getting everybody in Madison Square Garden to fist pump in unison. Ryder could have got over by giving handjobs in the parking lot after the shows, what does it matter? Money is money. It's just childish to stomp your feet and go, "No! No! I don't want these stacks of cash! They come from the wrong kind of people!"

This is where you and I are going to have to disagree. I don't know what we've been doing up until this point, but we're definitely disagreeing now. Oh, yes. Daniel Bryan is easily one of the most charismatic wrestlers in WWE: he's funny, he's passionate, he even has good diction. Hell No certainly didn't get popular because of their in-ring shenanigans. Bryan might still be chased by this stigma as an "indie guy", who therefore can wrestle but can't say two words without dislocating his jaw, but it's the complete opposite of reality. You would have thought that would have gone out the window with CM Punk.



Here's the list of the three people currently in world title contention:
  • Alberto Del Rio
  • Jack Swagger
  • Dolph Ziggler

Don't get me wrong, I like these three guys; I certainly like Jack Swagger a hell of a lot more than most people do. That said, this is the reaction they get when they step in the ring:

There's nothing sacred about the world heavyweight title, particularly right now, and Daniel Bryan is tiers above the current contenders in popularity.



When the crowd isn't littered with YES YES YES, NO NO NO and, coming this June, MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE t-shirts, and the entire capacity of MetLife Stadium isn't standing up to join in on a "Yes!" chant, I'll agree that Daniel Bryan doesn't put asses in seats. I'd talk more about how I think John Cena is very talented in the ring, but that's a whole other mess.

If Daniel Bryan is nothing special, WWE is fucked - few others compare to him in wrestling skill, in charisma and, perhaps most significantly, in popularity.
