T-shirt Idea: “Nutritionists take it by the pound!”
As an online doctor,* I get a lot of questions about diet, especially this time of year when everyone’s trying to lose weight in time for wearing wedding formal wear and swimsuits. Which diet works best, which one’s healthiest for you, which one requires the least math, which one lets me eat the same s**t that made me fat in the first place, etc.
So, rather than answer every single letter, I’m going to devote the next several Dr. Snee columns to reviewing fad diets. Together, we (but mostly I) will explore a trendy diet:
What it claims to do.
What it really does.
How you’re probably being mislead with — what we call in the medial community — bulls**t.
Occasionally, SeriouslyGuys receives guest submissions from readers. If they are coherent, do not explicitly sell anything and avoid more than three references to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, then we consider them for publication. Today’s guest post comes from your mom.
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down the section of the Defense of Marriage Act that denies federal recognition and benefits to same-sex couples legally married in their states. It also dismissed the case concerning California’s Proposition 8, a state constitutional amendment that bans same-sex marriage, because the governor and attorney general refused to defend it.
He looks lonely. Is he single? You might have a lot in common.
The rulings raise big questions. For instance: because the Supreme Court dismissed the Prop. 8 case, letting the appeals court ruling stand without declaring the law unconstitutional, will California be able to pass a law that officially overturns it? Also, when are you getting married?
When the issue last went to a vote, the majority of Californians voted against same-sex marriage, so we can only wonder if opinion has swayed enough from 2008 for a different outcome. And you’re almost 30 years old. You’re telling me you haven’t met a nice boy or girl by now?
These rulings also follow the recent change to Pentagon policy that ended their Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. And, while I’m glad you didn’t run out and join the military even though you can serve openly now, I can’t for the life of me figure out why you don’t want to have a big wedding and maybe adopt or invitro me some grandbabies. I’m not getting any younger, either, you know.
Just think about it, OK? Love you!

On Monday, Washingtonians and tourists alike were gripped with fear. There was an escapee named Rusty, and naturally, he was considered extremely dangerous.
Yes, the work week kicked off with terror, as Rusty the red panda was reported missing from the National Zoo. (In case you don’t remember, these things are bears. Ferocious, man-eating bears.) Luckily, the people of Washington, D.C. are able to come together in times of crisis. Rusty was caught by that afternoon.
Newt Gingrich claimed no responsibility on Twitter. Not that anyone asked him. We’re watching you, Gingrich, we’re watching you.
