The Pimp and his friend Iccas
That's Roger on the left. He dressed up as Issac, the bartender from "The Love Boat," and because no one could tell who he was he put a name tag on his shirt that said, "Hello, I'm Issac." I was drinking gin all night, and gin, well, it was the gin's fault that I swear to god his name tag said, "Iccas." And I called him that all night.

He looks like an Iccas to me, gin or no gin.

As always, thank you for your candor, Dooce. I one battled a real eating disorder for about 4 months, when I was severely depressed and could not eat. When I did eat nothing would stay in my body. This all came about because I thought that if I lost enough weight my fiance' would come back to me. Luckily he did not come back, I started to eat again once I looked like I might break in half, and now I am very normal and happy. Self image is a killer.

Don't you remember the old testament story of Iccas and the ark of devotion?

Ah, 'drunken dyslexia'! Whilst better than 'drunken tourettes', will both make for a very special evening.

You're just not having fun if you can still use phonetics appropriately.

Well, the bartender's name is Isaac, so it's really Roger's fault for spelling it wrong.

Who's that with him? Guido the killer pimp?

It bothers me that I know this. Ted Lange was the actor's name who played the bartender from "The Love Boat."

I love it, Issac from the love boat! what a great idea.

For what it's worth --
Children who grow up in rigid, inflexible families exercise control in two ways: what they eat and when they shit. I suspect the chronic constipation that you have written about before is another facet of the same eating disorder, only now it's become a habit rather than a control method.
Cymbalta! Klonopin! Good drugs! Use every day...ooooooo...sweet.

Dude, I wanna sit on his mustache.

Now that you mentioned it.. he does look like Issac.... but who's the pimp?
11.09.04 - 06:28 AM / 17Heather said:
'cause I'm a cowboy, baby!
tell me that is not supposed to be Kid Rock schmoozing it up with Iccas, the evil twin of Isaac the Bartender...

the pimp is Bill. Bill the Pimp.

The pimp is cracking me up. Awesome.

I think I knew someone they called, "Bill the Pimp", but that was a blurry time, so maybe not.
11.09.04 - 06:38 AM / 21kim said:
I'd call him Iccas too. From now on.
Hey, can I use this blog to unashamedly promote a comic that I really like that is at risk of ending? He has quit the mainstream media, pulled out from the "syndicate" and is looking to start a new way of reading comic strips. Online by membership. I've joined (risk free). Would it be ok to post that address here? He was really popular and quit a couple of months ago. FUNNNY!

i love the pimp's get-up. i was that guy last year, and i think from now on i will always be that guy.
sidenote: buffalo wings - i just had to have some last night. there is a restuarant near us called Original Buffalo Wings - im not sure if they are necessarily original, but they are really. fucking.good. so i ordered up a dozen, which come as a baker's dozen, thinking i would only eat like 8 or 9 of them. fat chance. polished off the entire lot, plus the blue cheese and celery they pack with em.
sidenote: my stomach hurts this morning..really.fucking.bad.

Dooce, your courage is just amazing. I'd bet there are a lot more women out there than anyone suspects who are overly conscious of everything they put into their mouths. I'm fine when I'm on my own, but when I eat with others I'm constantly monitoring to make sure I'm not eating more than everyone else at the table, or eating faster than everyone else at the table, or enjoying the tasty fattening things more than anyone else at the table.

but did he do that hip, finger pointing thing all night? cause you know that's cool.
i think the best i could pull off would be a mean captain stewbing.
damn, genetics suck.

Thanks Dooce. I have struggled with the same disorder since I was 15 years old. Your courage has given me strength just when I needed it.

the pimp reminds me of my husband on his stag night. the boys kidnapped him and forced him to dress up as a pimp all night long. they were seriously disappointed that he was enjoying it instead of being embarassed.

Ohh, wonderful haircut! I've always told my hairdresser I want the same but he is never able to make it right.. hehe I swear ;)

Heather....you mentioned exercising. I found spin biking about 6 months ago and wow, what a great feeling when done, I'm hooked on it. Try it sometime if you want a hard workout. Love your website.

I had an eating disorder from my late teens into my mid twenties and still find it hard not to obsess about my body and what I'm putting into my mouth. Thanks for sharing your story. It's the last thing I would want for my (future) daughter, too.
