Wie wäre es mal mit Sport treiben?
How about getting some exercise for a change?
„Sind das die berühmten freshman 15 oder er die freshman 50?“ „Irgendwas dazwischen.“ Der junge Bursche kam vom College am Vorabend von Thanksgiving wieder und sein Vor-Thanksgivingsbauch musste dokumentiert werden.
„Junge noch ein paar Pfund mehr und wir hätten gedacht, ein zweiter Masttruthahn sei geliefert worden.“ „Ich hatte gedacht du würdest im Studium Wissen ansammeln und nicht Pfunde.“ „Wissen kommt in den Kopf, Nudeln gehen direkt in den Bauch. Ist halt eine ausgewogene Verteilung.“
“Is that the famous freshman 15 or the freshman 50?” “Something in between.” The young lad came back from college on the eve of Thanksgiving and his pre-Thanksgiving belly had to be chronicled. “Son, a few more pounds and we would have thought a second turkey had been delivered.” “I thought you were supposed to be accumulating knowledge at college, not pounds.” “Knowledge goes into the head, noodles go straight to the belly. It's just a balanced distribution.”
Patrick had moved in with his great-aunt because her village was close to the university. Now he was constantly driving a car instead of riding a bike, drinking with fellow students several times a week. But every evening his aunt cooked for him so that the boy would eat something decent. When he was away in the evening, the food was kept in a warming oven. In the morning there was a hearty farmer's breakfast. The boy had quickly put on twenty kilos. Patrick was getting fatter and did not know how to stop this growth. He had tried skipping meals in the dining hall, but eating nothing from early morning to evening didn't work. When he tried to refuse extra servings, his great-aunt would pat his then sucked-in belly and say, "Bullshit! A young lad like you needs a good portion of strengthening food, so eat up! You have finally become a bit more corpulent and no longer a slender herring. Young men are like geese, if you don't stuff them, they're no good."
Patrick surrendered to his fate, knowing that his belly and body would continue to swell until he could only waddle with difficulty.
Er wird von seiner kleinen Schwester gehänselt, weil er dick geworden ist. Vergangenen Sommer noch war er noch dünn – jetzt ist er fett! Und wird es auch bleiben. Das Komfortbier hat er sich ja schon bereitgestellt.
