Like I do.
So, I was told to drink cranberry juice and stay hydrated to avoid kidney stones in the wake of my excretory system issues.
I was also told that prunes are supposed to help prevent kidney stones.
I hadn't had prunes in a long while, and I remember being disgusted with them when I was a kid... but I was willing to revisit the world of the dried plum.
So, I did.
Good God, they're delicious.
They were so good that I was eating them by the handful.
Don't. Ever. Do. This.
I cannot stress enough how much one shouldn't do this.
I mean, by all means... eat prunes... they rule... but not scads and oodles in a sitting.
It's just bad.

See this is why you don't need your own under thirty forum...two minutes in Long-Term Survivors and you would have learned anything and everything about prunes in four thousand words our less. Next time wrap those bad boys in a Danish.

It's more fun this way for me, Doxie.
Because I'm juvenile.
My roommate and I now refer to prunes as "little Molotov cocktails of poop."

My grandmother, the incredibly dour Presbyterian dowager Margaret Jean, is an enormous fan of prunes. She enjoys the daemonic things every morning for her prim breakfast.
Well as much as a Presbyterian is able to enjoy things.

They're very sweet.
I think they are the most punk rawk of fruits. In that once inside, they make demands... and are listened to.
Quickly.
I wish to meet your grandmother.

Kind of like I learned the hard way when i started adding 1/2-1 cup of uncooked oatmeal to my protien shakes in the blender.....
I decided to add the oatmeal 3 protien shakes that day (and forgot how much fiber oatmeal has) well i had stomach cramps for 2-3 days and thought i was going to die....
but i got used to the oatmeal now so i can have it 3 times a day no problem.....so the prunes will probably get better if you introduce them slowly and drink lots of water if you dont have enough water it will make you regret it

No no no that is not how we play that game around here...it's more like geeze Benj if one box is good think how tasty two would be...then we PM each other and laugh and laugh and laugh....

Benjala,
I want you to video your prune induced next visit to the poopy room and post it on GooTube.
Face shots please and good sound too. I wanna see the sweat on your brow.

I'm having a vision of me running to the bathroom... and then all you'll hear is, "Why? WHY? WHHHHHHHYYY?"
It would be more funny that way, I think.

Oh God.
The pooping.
The non-stop pooping.

Benj, darling,
With a very short commitment of your time I can train you in the art of binge-eatiing, providing up-to-date advice about such topics as "How many prunes are too many? (A whole box is nothing when you build up to it)," "which type of Oreos create the most bizarre colored stools," and my personal favorite "Should I get this infinitesimal thimble of Ben and Jerry's or the 1/2 gallon of Walgreens mint chocolate chip ice cream instead, especially since both have about the same number of calories?" These and many more invaluable lessons are available in a personally customized schedule based on your binge goals and lifestyle.
Given your Kate Moss svelteness you'll obviously have to purge but I never learned that trick. I was too greedy. I'm sure you can figure that out by yourself, if you haven't yet.
"Because she's thin!"

Nope. Nothing is as funny as watching a twink doubled up on the brasco, groaning and praying for daylight. ;D

Boo,
I don't have the required dedication for bulemia... although I was that young faggot who, upon learning about binging and purging, thought, "This is the answer to my prayers."
I'm more the binge and then artificially increase the metabolism type... which is also bad. And also something I can't afford anymore.
Poop.
Tee hee.
-
i have problems with binge eating sometimes :( :'( i hate it lol....but i can say if i had any type of ben and jerrys withough any lactaid i would DIE (being lactose intolerant sucks)
but give me 3 cheese danishes, a butterfinger, and some cool ranch potato chips, and a NY style pizza any day :-D...oh or a brazo gitano (dont know what thats called in english)

See, I prefer the skinny indie PoMo look. Which I've been rocking since 2002, thank you very much. ;)
If I see the scales go above 150, I start freaking out.
It's great.

that look worked for me before...but im going for a "change" you know cant always keep the same look....
so im trying to put on some muscle for a change hehe....but im 6'1'' so 185 isnt too bad...155 was WAY TOO LOW
but yea i freak out every time i see it go up...im a bit obsessive but i guess so long as i dont put too much fat on in the process its ok...i can always go anorexic again if i dont like it lol
-
Ha ha! I'm like 5'9" on a good day, and I have a small build... so I don't weigh much.
And a little weight goes a long way on me.
-
you look good thin so you can stay that way ;D

Thank you, good sir.
When I quit the blow... my metabolism crashed, and I put on the unholy amount of about 15 lbs in a month.
I like to have lost my shit.
But it's gone now. Huzzah!
-
keep eating prunes....it will make you lose weight...if you eat 5 boxes in 1 sitting youll lose 15 pounds haha
or shit 15 anyways
-
I'm always having cramps and diarrhea... it sucks. Anyway, I started, recently, eating dehydrated cranberries, and have also been on the raisin routine. Haven't tried prunes... :) sounds like a new adventure... maybe we could start a long-distance prune-eating ballet and enter it in the next gay olympics... I'll buy a couple boxes at the bodega tonight, in preparation.
man, this will be exciting! :)

If not for the ice storm, we in Austin would not only have accused you, we would've treated you like one. Ever hear of a "spinner"? :)

That evil, evil ice storm... which was blamed on me.
I am still proud of the fact that I broke Texas.
What's a spinner?
-
A spinner is someone short and svelte enough that you can sit them down on your unencumbered lap and give them a spin.
me entiendes?

sorry i started to laugh too hard after the first few sentences....
God love ya....

My great aunt Millie always recomended a healthy diet of whiskey and men. As a wee thing I thought by men she meant that she was a cannibal but my sister (who at the prime age of 16 and all-knowing in the subject of sex...) informed me that she was talking about semen. So at 7 years old I was convinced aunt Millie hijacked ships and feasted sailors. I had good imagination.

Thank You Lis for bringing it back around! In my hijack, I totally forgot to post that dried figs have twice the fiber and half the shit!
I need reigning in from time to time.

*note to self - NEVER sip coffee while reading a Benjthread. NEVER.*
Somebody hand me a towel, quick!

Another benefit from eating all those prunes, no one can ever accuse you of being full of s**t ! ;D

Another lesson to learn...Don't run out of toilet paper, then run out of tissues, then run out of paper towels...
It's a problem...

Benj,
Oh dear God all mighty! The slip is backed up with Benj poop..another for Richmond! I wondered why the Omni said flush at your own risk. You bitch! Well the next trip to Richmond must include you for a drink...or knowing you several down at the slip.
Keep clean and wipe with caution. 8)

I love prunes. And all kinds of dried fruits -- especially apricots.
(I'm waiting for all of your jokes about "dried fruits".)
You may notice that some companies have be re-branding prunes as
"dried plums" instead. No doubt a clever marketing ploy to make
prunes sound cool and hip.
What I've never been able to figure out is prune juice. Why would
you dry a fruit, and then make juice from it? *shrug*
Cheers,
Henry
