Prolix doesn't really have the connotation of "boring" (though prolixity certainly can be boring). Essentially it means excessive verbosity or wordiness. So "drawn out" is a reasonable rendering.

Thinking back to the college days.. and a prof that would drag out a 15 lecture into an hour and a half.. boring fits. 😉

Think about how bad it was in the old days. We couldn't multitask by going online to a place like PH. We had to just sit there.

I put on 20 LBS as soon as I hit 49. But the metabolism excuse is bull shit.

I take full ownership of my weight gain, it is my fault.

I have never accidentally eaten anything.

Want to hear something funny, RP? My wife actually prefers a "larger" man. She doesn't like skinny men. She's thin, yet is attracted to men with somewhat of a gut.

I've heard other women say the same thing. So maybe gaining a little weight isn't such a bad thing? After all, don't we just do a lot of the stuff we do to impress the babes anyways?
