I don’t think a guy can go more than a couple of months without being asked how many pushups he can do. Especially if you are a fat guy (like me) and work with a super fit guy (like Dave). I guess I’m just easy pickings to make himself look better. Freaking Dave. I guess …
So let me guess, you’re a bit bigger than average but you’ve somehow caught the kayak bug. I hate to tell you this, but that bug isn’t going to go away! I was bitten by the bug to own a kayak several years ago and now have half a dozen of them in my garage. …
As a fat guy, I know how difficult it can be to find a community of people who understand me and my approach to life. There are, of course, many people who think they understand what it’s like to be fat. But they’re all personal trainers who tell me how bad it sucks to be …
Even though I’m not morbidly obese (just “regular obese”) I’ve always had nightmares about dying at home. Wherever I died (and in whatever strange position) I would have to stay there until some burly fireman came to carry my body out. A long life of feeling awkward because of my weight culminated in my family …
Is there a smell more unpleasant than that of flatulence? Sure, the sound can be funny, but I’d rather not be around for what comes next. Nearly every guy I know has a story about what I’m going to call “an intimate moment” (because this is a family-friendly website) with a woman that ended up …
I’ve never been much of a cyclist, but I’ve noticed that road bikes are becoming more and more popular in my neighborhood. It seems like half the people on my block have at least one bicycle designed for riding on the road. A friend of mine came over to the house the other day and …
On multiple occasions over the course of my life, I have been accused of snoring quite loudly. Obviously, I can’t confirm or deny that since I was asleep at the time but I trust the people who have reported it. I’ve always wondered if being fat has anything to do with my snoring. Do fat …
Superhero movies are everywhere these days. Ever since the Marvel Cinematic Universe started to take off about 15 years ago, it seems like every month now that a new movie starring a comic book character I’ve never heard of before is getting its own movie. With a few obvious exceptions, it seems like the one …
Have you ever been outside in the cold and seen a larger person walking around with a T-shirt and no jacket? I’ve known people from Alaska who say that such a sight is almost a daily occurrence up there. I saw this the other day with a friend while driving to get a pizza. It …
Have you ever heard someone say “Losing weight makes you look younger”? I’ve heard that all of my life. I’ve seen it listed all over the place as a “health and beauty” tip for years. Not that I’ve ever tried it of course… However, recently I’ve also heard the opposite is also true, and that …
