these successful Balkan males you speak of [including your father]
are but short fat family men



>over 40 suffers from high blood

family men eat + drink + dress as `pigs` because they are terrible lovers.



>evidently, Slobodan Milosevic. I believe 

`pigs` are cowards.

cowards choose duty over love.

allora - 01 amalgam of naaaaaaaasssssstttty terribly dressed short fat ugly mafiosi.

 your father - lard + wine
 you - health club

 males love duty - even as boys.
