Here!

Well. I'm in awe.

Ooh, I want to lose nine pounds! Thanks for the tip, HFAC!

Not like this, you don't. That's called "bulimia."

I can't even believe you guys actually did that. That's true dedication right there.

I agree. Very impressive! And I was glad to see that HFAC still get's together now and then.

Considering they're brothers, this might be an eternal team up, even after retirement.

Wait, I thought bulimia came from the other end?

Maybe so few people use this as a way of losing weight that they haven't come up with a name for it yet, so I think the bulimia might be appropriate...

But, wait, are Foreman and Claudio actually brothers? I think I missed that boat...

Hey, Neo! Foreman and Claudio are brothers!

I agree. Impressive research. Interesting write up Claudio and Foreman. Good job.

I think anything that makes you...prematurely expel something you ate is bulimia.

Thanks, Gio. I guess I needed that one spelled out for me. I did think it was a little bit odd that they were both going to the same place for Christmas at "home," but hey, some friends do that.

BTW, Foreman and Claudio, that totally made my day and I even made my mom read it and she was chuckling throughout. You guys are pretty much my heroes now. (Not that you weren't before or anything...)

Point the first: From the Wikipedia article on Bulimia, here's one of the key symptoms- "Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain, such as: self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other medications; fasting; excessive exercise."

Point the second: Yep, Claudio and I are brothas from the same motha. See also http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=42857 and http://theboard.byu.edu/index.php?area=viewall&id=43219 . We were not the first, nor do I think we will be the last siblings who write concurrently.

Point the third: Thanks for the feedback! We like knowing that someone reads and enjoys these things we put so much time and effort into (we're not kidding when we said the research alone took hours). Whoo!

Oh my goodness, the things writers do for their readers! HFAC, you need a dedication to readers award. Just sayin'.
