“Go camping!” they said. “It’ll be relaxing!” they said. I guess they didn’t foresee the situation where my Walmart “Camp Chair For Big Guys” had two of the legs bend right in half and the seat tear, dumping me on the ground. While that day was a little bit painful and a whole heap embarrassing, …
I’ve always hated trying on clothes. I would much rather just buy a pair of pants and then return them later if they don’t fit. Even though I probably won’t return them. This drove my mom nuts and makes my wife even nutsier. However, I was never able to see their side of the argument …
On paper, having a swimming pool in your yard sounds amazing. Cool off anytime? Sign me up! Wear a bikini or no shirt without feeling self-conscious? All-day long! Not having a wide heavy-duty pool ladder that will support my weight? Ehhhh…. not so much. Not being able to get into (or out of) my own …
I’ll be the first to admit that I was pretty disappointed the first time I saw a hoverboard. I had been hearing about them for a while and expected that they would turn me into the next silver surfer. Seeing something with wheels was a bit of a letdown. However, once I got the hang …
“Time and time again, the most comfortable camping cot is the biggest camping cot…” Fat people aren’t meant to enjoy the outdoors. Or at least that’s the conclusion I came to after my search for the most comfortable camping cot for large adults. I could find lots of extra-wide, double, and even plush-looking cots but …

Despite being very well off, my grandpa has had the same furniture on his patio for over 40 years. His kids have given him new patio furniture which has come on and gone but the same few items have been there since before I can remember. During that time, the chairs and the swing frame …
I hate to tell you this, but the only cure for wanting a paddleboard is buying a paddleboard. I thought that, since I’m a fat guy, I would eventually just watch enough skinny people on paddleboards that I’d get over trying it. I was wrong. So when that failed I went on a mission to …
When I was younger, my family didn’t have beach chairs. Or camp chairs. Or any sort of outdoor chairs. I don’t know if my parents thought they were for lazy people (more likely: we just couldn’t afford them) but we never invested in anything that would make our short beach trips more comfortable. We did …
When I was a young guy I was looking for the easiest way to pack on some muscle and lose fat. I found an old rowing machine in my basement and, once I figured out that it wasn’t a weird old bench press machine, hopped on to get a workout. It seemed way too easy …
