The Chicken Flies at Midnight!

The chickens are restless!

After a blessed few weeks of silence, Bonnie Luper, former chandler (that's someone who makes candles, Bonnie) extraordinaire and now founder of the Magic Chicken Diet decided to address the issue of the anti-kimkins bloggers who had questions regarding what, if any, ties Ms. Luper and her super protective family may have had to Kimkins. Below, reproduced from a post on Low Carb Friends, is Bonnie's statement, written with her typical folksy style and creative disregard for grammatical conventions:

"Q: I am one of your members (11 weeks now) and I helped to enlist you guys 4 new members. I am real excited because my husband has actually noticed me again and even complimented me and said how beautiful I looked the other evening. I had to throw that in but now my question why is there such awful stuff on the internet?

A: We are aware of what you are talking about and we are not sure, as we received some strange emails from some strange characters and have our lawyers Ross & Matthews of Ft. Worth, Texas looking in to this. We were told to stand by. We will keep our members posted and thanks for the concern. Just remember to stay Positive, as those kind of people are better known as battery drainers."

Oh goodness. Not ... *gasp* ... LAWYERS!

All I have to say to that is this:


I know you've been litigious in the past, Bonnie, and threats like that may work on people like Hulon (is he still your fake son-in-law?) but other people find implied threats like that funny. And lame. And desperate. I've personally never wasted a single electron sending you any email, but anyone who did probably has nothing to worry about. Nice try, though!

Candles, candles, everywhere ...

The Saga of the Magic Chicken Diet continues. To catch everyone up -- a diet website, now apparently defunct, called the Magic Chicken Diet recently cropped up. This diet and its website site looked and sounded suspiciously like that of everyone's favorite discredited diet guru and lawsuit defendant, Heidi Diaz, the fraud behind the dangerous Kimkins diet. A lot of stuff came out in a short period of time, which you can read about at Mariasol's Blog and Kimkins Exhausted, but here is the precis; The owners of the Magic Chicken Diet, a self-described God-Fearing couple called Bonnie and David, have claimed in various comments on various sites that:

- Their diet is genuine
- They don't know Kimmer, and have never been directly associated with Kimkins
- They got the idea to do a website based on Bonnie's diet after seeing the infamous Woman's World article on Kimkins.
- And a bunch of other crap.

I should mention that it is not just Bonnie and Dave who are out there bravely defending their diet/website. An individual named 'Hulon' who describes himself as their son-in-law has been leaving interesting, passionate, creatively spelled missives on these sites. You can find one here. In this particular screed, Hulon, unfettered by grammar, blames Kimkins and Kimmer for the demise of his 'in-law's' site, despite the fact that the 404 screen from GoDaddy contained a message asking the site owner to call a certain number. A number which our intrepid Yucky called and found connected to ... the billing department.

Would that we all had such devoted relatives as Hulon. In addition to defending the diet site, Hulon has also been known to leave a post or two attempting to sell candles, except interestingly, they appear not to be Bonnie and Dave's candles. Which brings up a question, how many candle businesses do they have? There's Stoney Creek Candles, there was apparently at one time something called the candlesupplyplace.com, but Hulon was busy selling candles from here, which seems to do wholesaling.

Hmm. Who else do I know who 'employs' her 'relatives,' sometimes without their knowledge ...

Interesting. Well, not really.
