There is overweight then there is FAT. If the govt is regulating our lives, why not regulate what people over a certain weight can purchase to eat. Just like they should be recriminalizing drug possession, usage and living without means of support. Build housing, put them all in there with the mentally ill, and lock them up until they are will. Lose weight, quit drugs and drink, support yourself and LOSE WEIGHT.
I worked at First Virtual Holdings, Inc for a couple years. We had some well respected staff including Nathanial Borenstein (creator of the MIME standards) and Marshall Rose (creator of SNMP protocol). Marshall is pretty tall. He walked into my office and was more than annoyed at gazing down into my 6 ft tall halogen lamp. When we traveled, Marshall always sought exit row (emergency door) seating to accommodate his very long legs.
I have the opposite case. 5 ft 11 in with 30" inseam, 32" waist, 156 lbs (as low as 146 lb when I watch my diet carefully). I recently converted my Suzuki DR650 to 17 inch supermoto wheels. That lowered the seat height nicely and put street tires (GPR100) on the bike. A better fit for the way I use the bike.

That second photo: my God, that’s tragic! A whole pod has beached themselves! Where are the Greenpeace volunteers? We need to roll them bacK into the water while there’s still time!
A nifty little gun. I got one for my 16th birthday because i was a huge james bond fan and he had (and used) a 25 calibre Beretta as his carry piece. Haven’t shot it in years and now the ammo is hard to finnd and costs as much as 7.62 NATO. Gonna go look for some tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder!
Funny post by the way.
I remember the fattest person in my HS was name Bubba. He was about 6’1” 330. He could do pullups though, 19 in a challenge from the coach. I could do 26 before I got bored, and could climb the rope without hands. I weighed about 130, he could do pullups with me and a full gym bag hanging on. He was fat, but he was a force. He dropped the weight into the 260 range by graduation. The point is, he was smaller than the Heifers in the pictures.
And the fatsos cannot be seated in the emergency exit rows for the obvious reasons-THEY WON’T FIT THRU THE EXIT DOOR!
yes and i will bet Bubba wouldn’t be out.in.public. in a skimpy bathing suit. what is wrong with people? that is visual assault.
I call them “spillovers.” Disrespect intended.
My first boss at Nike, of all places, was a 500lb woman. She was nice but she could barely waddle to the bathroom. I’d go into her cube and there were lots of candy bars and empty wrappers - and she was diabetic. She finally left - fell down one time too many.
Yesterday I learned she that after years on dialysis she is near death from kidney and heart problems, not eating, and no longer fat. Doctors say there is nothing more they can do for her.
Fancy that - no longer eating and no longer fat. Too bad she waited so long.
She needs to go to planet Mountain Dew, and all her dreams will come true.

My sisters and a few relatives visited Japan a few years back. They're all very fat. All the Japanese they encountered made rude comments about "the fat Americans". The Japanese were all slim and fit. Fat people are scarce in Japan.
Sitting, on an airplane or other public transportation, next to someone of this size would be like sitting next to a cigarette smoker.
That is, I didn’t create or cause their problems BUT I am certainly affected by their overweight body.
I solved my airline-related problem this way: I just refuse to fly.
No, he wore button up shirts, and slacks in HS. He was a negro as we called them then. His brother was same heighth and weighed about 200. He played QB and middle LB in HS. Went to College and got an engineering degree. Good people, as were nearly all “minorities” in that Boomer generation.
If you are that fat, you are dreadfully unhealthy. Don’t look at the travel experience, carriers and other people as the problem. YOU are the problem. Fix yourself, for your own sake if for no one else’s.
I don't want the Gov involved, I want them to get out of the way. But I have no problem denying health insurance, life insurance, discriminating employment, denying transportation (unless they purchase suitable space). Maybe at some point, people will adapt their lifestyle to conform, and enjoy the health and social benefits they deny themselves.
A few more pounds on some of these land whales and it just might.
