The Ten Commandments for a Plumper.
1. Eat whenever you can. Never start slimming. Mock slimmers. Drink beer thereafter.
2. Remember what your parents taught to you when you were a child. Always eat your portion to the end. You will see what it leads to. Drink beer thereafter.
3. Discard nourishment therapists? advice. Reject vegetables and root crops. Always use the fattiest meat. First apply plenty of butter on ham, then mustard. Try cream that has been simmered in butter. Drink beer thereafter.
4. Most preferably eat alone. Other people's presence disturbs. They keep a watch on every tidbit of yours and you cannot feel on your own. If somebody sits down at your table, try to avoid discussion. Drink beer thereafter.
5. Do not concentrate on eating. Always have something to read while you eat. Then you do not pay much attention to what you put to your mouth. Drink beer thereafter.
6. Gulp your food. Scoop food to your mouth like as a spade. Do not try to sip tastes or aromas. Swallow as as big bits as you dare. Be greedy, do not loosen even for a while. A signal of fullness will alarm first after 20 minutes since you started eating. Act before that. Drink beer thereafter.
7. Always make food as much as the pots hold. Then it will do better. Drink beer thereafter.
8. Always eat in the kitchen. Leave the fridge door a bit ajar, then you will be able get a quick first aid if the food came unexpectedly to an end. On no account bring food ready and beautifully served into the living room. Drink beer thereafter.
9. Always compete whether you can eat more than your friend. If you are married or otherwise live together with somebody, the partners must support each other. Win even by force the eating race you launched. Drink beer thereafter.
10. Always eat hamburgers, sausages and chips for a snack. Do not try to act like one who is well-educated. Drink beer thereafter.

Eikös tämä kuuluisi paremminkin tuonne osioon "Ruoka & juoma" - "Vegaanit & kasvissyöjät"?

Marraskuussa tällä palstalla esitettiin "Ten Commandments for Diesel Maintenance" ja nyt nämä lihottajan kymmenen käskyä (joiden noudattaminen ei olisi ainakaan minulle vaikeaa).
Haluaisin vain tuoda lisämausteeksi sellaisen tiedon, että englanninkielisissä teksteissä saattaa törmätä sanaan "Decalogue", joka tarkoittaa samaa kuin "Ten Commandments".
Plumper-sana muuten muistuttaa kovasti sanaa "plumber", joka tarkoittaa putkimiestä eli putkiasentajaa (tai myös lyijyn sulattajaa). Sen etymologiasta voisi mainita, että vesijohtoputket ovat olleet muinaisina aikoina lyijystä valmistettuja! Lyijyn myrkyllisyys ei ollut tuolloin vielä tiedossa.
Lyijy sellaisenaan on englanniksi "lead", mutta monet sen johdannaissanat sisältävät latinan lyijy-sanasta "plumbum" periytyvän plumb-sanavartalon.
Mitenkäs se "lead guitar" tähän [lyijyyn] liittyy vai liittyykö mitenkään? Taisipa olla aikoinaan laulu- ja soitinyhtye nimeltään Led Zeppelin? Aika hauska tuokin nimi...
Lyijy on tunnetusti timakkaa metallia. Lyijykielet kun vetäisee oikein tosi kireälle, niin jopahan lähtevät kitarasta upeat soundit!
Freddy's Harbourissa Bottom Laken pohjoisrannalla (Friedrichshafen, Bodensee) valmistettiin taannoin Zeppelin-nimisiä ilmaa kevyempiä ilma-aluksia. Niissä piti säästettämän energiaa, koska moottorit ja polttoainelasti piti mitoittaa mahdollisimman kevyiksi ja niiden teho käyttää pelkkään etenemiseen. Sopisi olettaa, että valodiodit eli ledit (Light Emitting Diode, LED) kehitettiin juuri ilmalaivojen valaistusta silmällä pitäen, niiden hyötysuhde kun on parempi kuin tavallisten hehkulamppujen. Siitäkös nimi Led Zeppelin!
