Outdated rock ‘n roll singer Meatloaf exploded Tuesday after learning he could get better gas mileage by losing weight.
“You’re kidding me?” he said when learning of a University of Illinois study that concluded America will be out of fuel by the end of 2020 if fat people don’t exercise, lose weight, and become generally miserable because they’re no longer fat and content. [Full disclosure: Your stupid narrator is fat and content.]
“Hell, if I had known I could burn more fossil fuels by eating another hamburger a day, I would have done it earlier. But it’s never too late to get fatter!” Meatloaf said, plodding across the street to a McDonald’s.
The singer, famous for albums he didn’t write, such as Bat out of Hell, Bat out of Hell II, and Bat out of Hell III (not that his handlers were obsessed with small rabid nocturnal cave-dwelling creatures, or anything), was later taken to a nearby hospital shortly after hearing the news, because his stomach burst. A TV crew captured this video of the incident:

Eet’s only waffer-theen!
Did he really say this? Or is this satire?
I think it’s a weak attempt at humor.
nm! ha
And when the day is done and the sun goes down and the moon comes shining through
(*sreaming and squinching up*) Like a sinner before the gates of haven I’ll come crawling on back to you...
I don’t care who wrote bat out of hell...that was one kick-ass album and no one on earth could have performed it better than Meatloaf did
It was a real moment in music
I’m partial to Rocky Horror Picture Show, but that’s just my warped sense of entertainment.
For those interested: The inspiration for this piece of satire is an article from PhysOrg ("With increasing obesity, fuel consumption becomes weighty matter").
What ever happened to Saturday night?
I wonder if anyone remembers ‘Americathon’, where MeatLoaf actually did battle with the last working car....
Yep...if you can stomach the story, I eventually get to that link.
That was good too
Hey man, try that booh cd it is remarkable. It was produced by that Paul guy who did that SNL thing and then did that thing with that guy on TV
I reject this as being disrespectfull of the near icon, that still sings his a$$ of, Meatloaf.
His small role in the beginning of “the Pick Of Destiny” (called a Cameo), starring Jack Black. Kicked a$$, he sounded great, and I ate it up, I reject the supposition that any person, as cool and talented as Meatloaf is, should be discarded.
I got a kick being entertained by a forgotten force of rock, and he did do well, and yes, in case you don’t know, he did a great job, followed by RJD, another rock icon.
But that my FRiends, is another story.
There will never be another Marvin Lee Aday.
He is the king of teenage angst rock-opera.
[is that a genre? no? well, it should be]
I have *every freaking album* he ever put out...even ones you’ve *never* heard of....:))
*sigh*
I remember finding paradise by the dashboard light....:)
To his credit, the lyricist, Jim Steinmen acquitted himself fairly well [if a bit whinier] on “Bad For Good”.
The Mighty Meat still tours on:
[he should hook up with BOC and get in on the “On Tour Forever” t-shirt profits]
Wow.
I would love to see them playing a double headliner.
I’d OD.
:)
Yeah ... I know
You have to be in the 16-18 mind set to “get it”
But if the wife and kids are gone...and I’am in my underwear...all is forgiven (I hope?) LoL
5 Little ones under 11
All but the 11 year old has the pukes tonight....so this is right on time. It is the only time that I have laughed since I have been home.
Thanks.

Happily, I’ve managed to utterly disregard the reality of chronological progression so I’m *always* in a “17” state of mind....;-D
[and I CRANK that stuff when driving alone in the Yukon]
