No-Carb Eating Couple Booted From Buffet -- Here, pal, let me help you out. It's very nice that you're on the Atkins Diet and can't eat carbs because you're trying to lose weight. But there's a certain point where your "no carbs" advantage is cancelled out by the "too many damn calories" option, and I'm guessing that comes a bit before twelve freakin' slices of roast beef. So, yeah. Perhaps going to an all-you-can-eat buffet when you're on a diet is a bad idea, at the very least on a symbolic level. Sheesh.

You know what that reminded me of? The one time when I went to the movies and was waiting to get popcorn when the two airheads behind me noticed that the theater sold sugar-free candy. I don't know about you, but if I noticed this, my first thought would have been that it was probably candy meant for diabetics, then maybe for parents who didn't want their kids eating sugar.

My first thought would not have been, as the one airhead said, "Oh, those must be for people on the Atkins diet!"

Sounds like somewhere Mr Creosote would go.
