      Keep eating like that at his age and by 40 he will have knees, bad back, high blood pressure, heart disease or cancer. That is if he lives another day to eat another bag of combos!

      HUmmm, wonder will he sue McDonald's because he didn't know a Quarter Pounder with Cheese, super sized fried and large coke wasn't healthy???? HOLY COW!

        I hope he just gets himself checked out by a doctor. I am 5' 8'' and 279lbs. I have highblood pressure and just recently had to take off 2 days from work because of illness. My blood pressure was 144/120. I was dizzy, had a hugh headache, and I felt like throwing up. I am going to my doctor today for a full check up. I also have a gym membership I have been neglecting. I'm gonna get my big tail in there today for at least an hour. Also remember that although this is the net there are human beings at the end of these emails. Be kind.

          Fat is SOFTER than muscle and bone. It feels nicer to touch soft subtle fat than hard muscle - or be poked by bones.

            Does he need some Zebra cakes to follow up on those combos?

              I HATE combos...the smell of them make me want to vomit.

                I don't have muscle. I move with the aid of my contractile fat,

                  I want to sue McDonalds because they refused to deep-fry my Quarter Pounder. They said it was a good idea though.

                    LOL! In fact, they do! They have one of those AED units on the wall!

                    I live in Northern NH, fairly close to the Canadian border. Heavy French/Canadian influence. There is a very popular dish here called poutsin (or something like that) that is served in just about every eating establishment in town. It is french fries covered with cheese sauce and a brown gravy and looks about as appetizing as roadkill, but people swear by it.

                    I had never heard of it before moving here a year and a half ago, and I still haven't worked up the courage to try it. They should throw in a 2 for 1 coupon for angioplasty.

                      Lemme ask yah guys somethin,' If this cowboy actor were around today (Dan Blocker) would you say to him?

                      "Hey Hoss! Your so fat. I'm suprised nobody puts a saddle on you!"

                      I DON'T THINK SO!

                      Besides, they should leave that poor guy alone just because he's fat, doesn't make him a bad guy.

                        Having gone to the gym regularly for a number of years, I periodically have seen extremely obese guys bench-pressing very heavy weights.

                        It has been my theory that they are able to do this as a result of having to simply move their own overweight bodies on a day-to-day basis. I have a (private) name for this that I call "fat strength." It obviously is not a healthy condition.

                                This is the most pointless artical that has ever been on netscape. There isnt even a story to this artical.
