No, Jim and Shannon will be buying the fan of their choice to ritually sacrifice and serve to the Dark Pooch, Frost.

I'll volunteer. They can find enough to afford me by checking under their seats in the car.

I'm used.  I've already been chewed on by a multitude of animals.

...And after Frost is done with these willing sacrifices, the leftovers get shipped to the Boy, right?

He meant Jim and Shannon's son, J.J., who's in his first year at college. Shannon used to hijack grocery-store supply 18-wheelers to feed him.

No real subtext, just a case of happening to have been in on the Twitter fun a while back. She's a funny lady.

She's awesometastic. And they're a great couple - after 15+ years of marriage, the first time I saw them, they were holding hands.

Sue's brother was like that. He'd get home from school, eat a large pizza, have dinner with the fam and then have another pizza. He was literally growing overnight; in the morning, he'd usually run down the stairs to the kitchen for breakfast, and one day, out of the blue, he clocked himself on an overhang.

CAM Banks said the very same thing to me after I told him he had downplayed how great a guy Jim is.

i used to get home from track or volleyball, eat a sandwich or bowl of cereal for a snack or something.  then eat dinner (if it was pizza i got a whole one to myself) and then 2 hours later i was hungry.  weighed 120 at my heaviest in high school.  ahhh super metabolism i miss thee...  now if i eat more than one or two pieces of pizza i'm stuffed
and grasshoppers can't talk anyway, dammnit!

Pfft. I've always had the metabolism of stone. A number of years ago, in the middle of losing 50 lbs but hitting a longish plateau, I decided to get detailed and measure exactly what I was taking in. 1200 calories per day. And not losing an ounce.

My metabolism has dropped further with a desk job. As a teacher, I was at least standing and moving around all the time (which is part of why I'm uncomfortable with sitting for extended periods).
