1091: Good Morning!

[Northwoods]

Speaking as a moderately Fat Fuck myself (6'1", ~300#), I'm appalled at the sense of entitlement some of these bloated douchebags display. I would never dream of making those around me go out of their way to accommodate my girth. There are benefits and drawbacks to any decision in life. Yes, I get to act with a certain reckless abandon that others who maintain their physique more responsibly don't get to enjoy. On the flip side, I'm restricted from certain activities and modes of conveyance that require a more moderate BMI. TOUGH SHIT. Every forkful I've crammed in my gob has been a CONSCIOUS DECISION. By making those decisions, I have chosen my own path and defined my own limitations. It's about time people started taking responsibility for their own actions (or lack thereof), and quit whining about how they have to plow through an entire sheet cake because Mommy didn't hug them enough. Being fat is a choice. If you've made that choice, accept the consequences.

That being said, I am well on my way toward quitting the ranks of the Fat Fucks, having already dumped roughly 60 pounds in the last couple of months. It's far too popular being a Fat Fuck these days, and as I have a bit of a counter-culture streak I simply can't abide being part of the 'in crowd'. (Yeah - I quit Metallica when they got popular, too.)

I think the thing that just surprises and throws me is how when they are huuuuge and I mean huge that you know on their way to that weight they didn't think to a second I should do something about this. Then I guess if they don't like what has been said don't complain it was your choice.

Morning it's morning morning it's morning moooooooooorning it's mooooooooorning

Even reading it is the worst.

I'm kinda considering co-opting the Morning song, but changing the words a bit.

Awesome, I'm Awesome. Awesome, I'm Awesome!

If I am ever a professional wrestler, that's going to be my intro song. Actually, if my kingdom ever gets more than a handful of subjects I'll probably make them sing it to me.

My fiancee and I have theme songs for our pets.

Study: Many Americans Too Fat To Commit Suicide

¨...For example, hanging oneself is most often out of the question. The report notes that a disturbing percentage of the obese are too large to ascend a footstool, too inflexible to kick it out from under them, and even if they could, are too heavy to remain atop it long enough to put their giant, flabby necks through a noose before the footstool shatters into splinters under their massive girth. Plus, as Reese writes, "even if all other variables were eliminated, the weight of these enormous individuals would probably break any indoor light fixtures or attic roof supports to which they might tie a rope..."

They aren't passing on that extra piece of cake so i'm guess they don't give a shit.

Agreed.

Voted No. As I am not sure I would complain. I have never had that issue personally. I rarely fly and I am slightly bigger than Myq. The flights I do take are usually no more than an hour so I can tough it out.

But if I had a fat fuck spilling into my seat on my flight to Denmark last year I probably would have said something.

Weird thing though on my connecting flight from Amsterdam to Copenhagen it was nearly empty were people could pretty much have a row to themselves or at least no one would be sitting next to each other. With the exit row completely empty I asked if I could move up to there and the flight attendant said that the plan was seated for proper take-off and I can move once the plan was in the air. I thought that was alittle weird but didn't bother me once i got into the exit row 5 minutes after takeoff

I had to sit next to a woman who required a seatbelt extender (another seatbelt that fastens to the one already there because it is too small otherwise) and who couldn't fit into her seat if the arm rest were in the down position. She was so large that I couldn't put my tray table down in front of me because her body spilled over into my seat. I paid full price for my seat, yet was hanging over into the isle like the guy in your picture(and getting bumped by the people going by). To make matters worse, she was watching comedy on her ipod and when she laughed her body would bounce into me. On top of all this, one of the air conditioners was broken. The only cool air was at the bottom towards the floor. I thought I was going to vomit a few times, but managed to keep it down. The attendant came by with cold, wet towels every now and then to put on my forehead, otherwise I might not have been able to make it. I was relieved to get off the plane, but had neck pain for two weeks from having to twist my head to the side since I was hanging off the side of the seat and my head didn't fit in the indented part of the head rest and I have a bad neck from a previous injury.

I was so fearful of having the experience repeated, that for several flights after that I bought a more expensive upgraded seat.

I wish they would just say no more seat belt extenders. Federal regulations require a seat belt. Why can't they just say we can't legally accommodate you unless you buy two seats so the seatbelt will fit? They can publish the girth that the seatbelt will handle and in order to check out if you buy tickets on line you have to answer that you will fit. Likewise, on the phone they can ask you the question if your girth is x or less...otherwise you will have to buy two seats. If you show up and try to get on a plane and are too big, you will be escorted off of the plane.
