Calcium Carbonate (500mg)

Did you know that if you were to consume the entire 150 count bottle of generic SoundBody "Calcium Antacid" pills you would get 6,000% of your daily value of calcium AND consume only 750 calories? Oh it's true.

In fact, I'm gonna market that.

100 calcium pills (downed with 16 fluid ounces of water), three times a day = 1500 calories and 12,000% of your daily allotment of calcium. Not only will your bones be incredibly dense, but you will lose weight AND quite possibly develop kidney stones which you can pass in penitence for your sins.

I call the High Carb(onate) Diet.

On a side note, one of the best names for a generic brand of medicine I've ever seen was called "Healthy Accent."  What does that even mean? How can your accent be healthy? And also, is a healthy accent considered sexy? If so, do I need to consume Healthy Accent to obtain said healthy accent, or will any generic and/or brand name medicine do just fine?

This explains why Colin Farrel is an actor of few considerable talents, yet he is idolized. He has a "healthy accent." I wonder what extra pills Sean Connery and Russel Crowe take to build healthy acting skills to accompany their healthy accents?

Colin Farrel's few considerable acting skills are on display in the entertaining "In Bruges."

I thought he was decent in "Intermission" as well, although Colm Meaney (yes, Chief O'Brien of DS9) really stole the spotlight in that movie.

But not because he was a good actor. Just because it was like, "Hey that's Chief O'Brien!"

I've seen Colm Meany in some other British/Irish gangster movie and he actually is an okay actor. The accent makes what those people say sound... sincere.

Ah yes, what one might call a ... healthy... accent?
