Beer Belly Ban
Media Watch July 27th, 2006
If you've got a beer belly and it's hot as hell outside but you'd like to take off your shirt and you're not afraid to do so, would you do it? I might go for it, depending on whether or not any ladies around. However, this brave act of revealing your beer belly in order to cool off might become banned in the UK. Local lawmakers are considering banning middle-aged shirtless man nudity simply because "no one wants to see that."
"There is a problem," government minister Nicholas Bennett said. "In my part of the country we are trying to revitalize the main shopping precinct.”
"But one of the things that is depressing for anyone going shopping is the numbers of shaven-headed men, mainly in their 30s and 40s, who seem to think people want to see their torsos."
"It is an unfortunate thing, but those men who like best to bare their stomachs are the ones who have too much stomach," Bennett said.
Thank goodness I live in America, where proudly walking around in public with my beer belly won't cause anyone to become depressed. Well at least it shouldn't.

I saw the title of your blog and had to visit! I miss beer! Dos Equis. Corona. Bass. Guiness. Sam Adams. Yuengling. You name it, I miss it. I’ve stopped drinking it unless its a “special occassion”. (Sometimes I cheat on what counts as a special occassion.)
No fear about the pool in November and no t-shirt. Be loud and proud. Even though I am not happy about how much I weigh and I’m trying hard to change it (5′4″ and 250 lbs.), I go to my apartment complex pool as often as I can with my head held high. I figure I love the pool, love water, and I’ll be damned if I don’t enjoy it!
I hear Red Rock is a great resort. I have family in Vegas and they have been to the casino a few times. You’ll have fun.
