: Jeff Garland is a guy who actually writes - is the executive producer of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' on HBO, is a guy who I've known since I was 19 years old. We were in the Comedy circuit in Chicago. I was working full time as a nurse, which was my career which I had gone to school for. And I was working at Northwestern University Hospital during the day in the cancer ward and hanging out at the theater at night and working there in the shows. And Jeff was always hanging out there in the theaters and he used to say, 'I just want someone to eat cheese with.' Because Jeff was always overweight, always used to eat and had a heart of gold, but he could never find love. So, it's about that time in his life. When he was working at the theater and was really lonely. And he was my friend then. Jeff is a good guy, so when called me to do this movie loosely based on that time I think it's very accurate, but he always says, 'Very loosely,' I had to say yes, because my grandmother was sick and I was working the theater, Jeff would always drive me to take my shift, because my mother had all seven of us kids on a shift of taking care of my grandmother so she could stay in her own home instead of staying in a nursing home. So, I owed it to Jeff. That's what 'Someone To Eat Cheese With' is about.

Phentermine, A Boon To Weight Loss
LiveArticles.org, CA -
You need to remember that when food intake is severely restricted (below approximately 1200 calories per day); the body begins to adapt to this state of poor nutrition by shutting down its metabolic rate, potentially making it even more difficult to lose weight. It is also possible to experience hunger pangs, bouts of hypoglycemia, headaches, and mood changes from overly stringent dieting. These symptoms can result in binge eating and weight gain. Since a highly restrictive diet is almost impossible to maintain for a long time, people who attempt to starve themselves thin often start to gain weight again when they stop dieting.

But homoeroticism needs to be disguised, which is where the strippers and sex workers come in. The presence of a female in the scene allows the men both physically present and remotely downloading videos to pretend to watch the female body while the real focus is on the erections, muscles, strength and prowess of men. And the women receive the brunt force of this form of male bonding. The videos on the College Fuck Fest website allow a look at these darker fantasies of objectification and control as they find expression in a mean, animalistic sexuality. In one particular scene from the website, men scream in the dark as women go down on their frat brothers. They dump beers on each other and give high-fives and roughly insert beer bottles in the women's vaginas. It's not hard to see these videos as ruthless, graphic visual extensions of a patriarchal society. It's the public, gang-bang mood to the proceedings that is the most disturbing, the erotics hinging, as they do, on the fantasy of women as sexual objects -- naked, willing party accessories no different from kegs of beer or bags of chips. Sexually charged groups like those evoked by these videos teeter on a knife-edge, threatening to tip off into chaos at any moment. One realizes with mounting dread that the men in the video -- the men swilling beer in frat gear, pumping fists in the air, and shouting "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" as a beer-drenched brunette sucks off one of their cohort -- are about to graduate from frat row into corporations and statehouses and single-family homes.
