"A Nebraska man who once weighed more than half a ton has lost 321
pounds in a Sioux Falls hospital, with a goal of losing another 450
pounds.

Patrick Deuel, 42, of Valentine, weighed 1,072 pounds when he was
admitted to Avera McKennan Hospital eight weeks ago. Deuel, who is
just under 6 feet tall, is on a 1,200 calorie-a-day diet."

And how was she going to the bathroom anyway? Was there a hole cut in
the couch? How was it cleaned up? I could imagine hosing her down once
a day, but I think the water would rot the couch...it would never dry out.

You literally would need a 3/4 ton pickup truck

Chocolate-covered raspberries are part of a plot? (The best thing at
Trader Joes)

I'm growing fonder of conspiracies even as we eat, er, speak.

I like the chocolate truffles they have around holiday time every year.
They look like a piece of dirt, but just let one melt in yer mouth. Mmmmm.
A local farmer's market has chocolate covered blueberrys that're great.
(They also had some of that "Drop" stuff that Ewoud mentioned last week:
salted licorice.)

Are you trying to say that all problems in the USofA are not due to evil
