Not the Intended Effect

March 18, 2002

I turned on TNN Friday night while I was waiting to go out drinking. Usually they play four hours of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Since I'm a geek, this appeals to me. This time they were running a marathon of their show Fame for 15. Basically, it's a pair of half-hour bios about the people who came and went.

One bio was of Jared Fogle, the "Subway Guy." You all know the story; dude lost a linebacker's worth of weight by eating a sub and a half a day. I saw his story, and was inspired. I immediately went into the kitchen and grabbed ... a handful of Oreos.

Eh, I never said I learn quickly.
