Mickey Mouse-has he become obese? Minnie Mouse too? According to the New York Times, Disneyland is fixing up the “It’s a Small World” ride to accommodate obese riders.
Hmm, ironic it’s a small world. The ride was built in 1963, and back then people weren’t as heavy as we are now. In fact, when […]
Eating habits are very interesting. Some people don’t let food on their plate touch-so much for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Some people won’t eat meat if the bone is still attached-so much for T-bone steaks. I know some who graze like Elsie the cow but won’t sit down for dinner with the rest […]
Soda is soda and a pop is a Popsicle in NYC, where I used to live. But when I moved to Kenton, Ohio at the tender age of 7, I ordered an orange pop but got an orange soda instead. The confused worker at the Dairy Freeze told me, “You ordered an orange pop, […]

The Bachelor: Officer & a Gentleman–yuck, please give me a break! How can a soldier and a doctor go onto a game show of marriage, pledge his love to one woman but then marry the hotter woman?
Not everyone in this country can even get married, but you don’t see anyone creating legislation against TV […]

Endocannabinoids: losing weight?
Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump need to hash it out more so they can continue to irritate America! C’mon, Donald! You’re a rich successful man and, yes, your last name is “Trump, but you’re acting more like Donald Duck.
Lionel Ritchie needs to hash it out with his daughter, Nicole. Personally, I wouldn’t […]
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups used to have a silly commercial—but an effective one. Two people would collide, and one person’s chocolate would fall into the other person’s peanut butter. (Or is it the other way around?)
In our “blame-someone-else society” the two would argue, “Hey, you got chocolate in my peanut butter.” “No, you got […]
Korean as I am, I’m not very Korean. I didn’t learn the language, so all my relatives call me “stupid” in Korean. I don’t even know how to spell “stupid” in Korean– something like “pa-bow.” When I go to South Korea, they think I look Chinese. In fact, when I eat dim sum, the Chinese […]
When I was in college, I saw a crazy, steamy movie called, 9-l/2 Weeks. There’s a scene beside an open refrigerator in which blindfolded Kim Basinger eats unidentified food given to her by Mickey Rourke. Oscar-winner Basinger reportedly said later that Rourke’s breath smelled like cigarettes the whole time, so I wonder if she opposed […]
Exercise, the word, might sound like profanity to some people. Perhaps the “ex” reminds people of negative words like exile, extortion, or ex-spouse. But then there are good words like expert, excellent, xmas. Hmm.
I try to come up with creative solutions with my patients who balk at exercise. Could the readers of The Hook help […]
There are too many homonyms and acronyms that all sound the same but have different meanings. How in the world can we keep up with all the different meanings for the same-sounding words?
For example, PSA in medicine means “prostate specific antigen,” but at the news station it means “public service announcement.” There are many […]
