Stupid Post.

You made me laugh out loud! Never been piqeon-holed quite so adequately, politely and humorously. I WILL bow your your royal position (whether you competed for it or not). I SO agree with your assessment of Tek too Ok, off to take my royal, er um regal, er umm lazy nap.

May I compliment you on your intelligence and insight. May I also say how attractive you are when you compliment me. On the other hand, I've never seen anything so disgusting as your sucking up to Tooter. Tek

The thing is... Being WLS royalty I not only have to look good, I have to send an occasional shout out by way of sucking up along with all of the WTF's don't rain on my hot mama sans plastics parade! As always, your layers of handsome Shrektitude are only complimented by your thoughtful, direct yet measured sensitivity. ...there I go...call me Hoover! Karen

I have to admit I really am laughing out loud while reading the banter between the group of you.

Yeah, me too! Think Karen has a ring we have to kiss or something? What do you exactly GET from being the WLS Maven?? Is there a certificate or something?? Jan

Here's the scoop... As the current WLS Maven I enjoy the following: 1. First right of refusal regarding any and all opinions/suggestions/my MD told me to do this type posts. 2. The right to give virtual smacks upside the head as I see fit, regardless of the various boo-hoo poor me type themes within. 3. A cape, size 6 petite to be posted in clothing exchange in the future. 4. A lifetime supply of memories from my world of the formerly Morbidly Obese, complete with enhanced and digital sounds of my inner thighs rubbing together, the palpable fear that I could not plant my ass in the seat on an airplane, slow motion technicolor footage of the myriad of ways I found to "closet eat", and a nationwide billboard campaign (think Burma Shave) boasting the messages of worthlessness that ran in my head on continuous loop! ...to think, you all got your panties in a bunch thinking about the swimsuit competition! Karen

Those sound like really swell prizes, but it's really all about the clothing and I'm afraid the size 6 petite cape would just be too BIG for me!! I would LOVE to be able to give virtual smacks upside the head, though! I'm totally jealous!! Jan

Yes they do sound like swell prizes. Size 6 petite--too big for you--I'm definitely gonna smack YOU upside the head (crown or not).

WHICH PART ABOUT DON'T RAIN ON MY HOT MAMA SANS PLASTIC PARADE DON'T YOU GET?!!!!!!!!!! SIZE 6 PETITE CAPE TOO BIG FOR YOU?!!!!!!!!!!! OOOHHHH, GIRL...NOW YOU DONE MESSED WITH THE MAVEN. SMACK UPSIDE YOUR LESS THAN SIZE 6 PETITE SILLY LITTLE HEAD. Hot Mama WLS Maven needs to regain her strength and will to take on tomorrow. Damn less than 6 petite posters...feed them cake!

I'm sorry, Your Worship, but you have to remember that as a petite person, I'm also so short that my legs barely reach the ground when I stand up! So there ARE considerations here!! I'll consider myself duly smacked though!! I have to admit, it WAS fun!! Jan
