Open Letter To The Fatties At TGI Fridays

OK, I applaud you for finding each other. They say there is a lid for every pot and you have proved this to be true. Were you both 400lbs when you met? The reason I am writing is not because you have let yourself get to such an appalling state that it is just a matter of time before our health care system buckles under the weight of your cardiologist's bill. It's not because you ordered wings to tide you over while you read the menu. It's not even because you needed a table for four both to handle both your ample girths and the all the food you ordered.

No, I am writing this to tell you that you really need to reevaluate where your life is heading. It's one thing to enjoy a mutually codependent relationship that allows you to indulge in one of life's pleasure at the expense of any of the others being a possibility, but when I walk past with my 18 month old kid in my arms and you look at him like you are evaluating if he would be better with au jus or barbecue sauce, enough is enough. Skip a meal. Walk a half a block. Do something so that you can temper your food obsession just enough that you can participate in society without always thinking to yourself, "GET IN MY BELLY!"

Thanks,

Matt
 
I'm hungry, I think I'm going to go to Friday's and get me some wings and fatten myself up and make sure I sit next to someone so they can rant about it on the net to make themselves feel better.
 
Did those fatties make you feel better about yourself, Matt? Did they lend you a feeling of superiority?

I don't know if they did. To be honest, this post if quite a bit out of character for me, but I have to say I have never been appalled by someone before because of their weight or looks. There was something more than just that about this couple that really left me dismayed. Here was a couple of people who showed no apparent joy in anything they did. They barely spoke to each other. They didn't make eye contact with anyone around them and barely each other. They just came in, sat down and started ordering and eating. There was no sign they enjoyed their food, they justs joylously ran through half the menu. It was as surreal as it was grotesque. I just made the thread to say something about it so I can move on with my life.

But since this is ATOT, I will add that when the woman sized up my kid like he was a baked ham, all I could think of was doll's eyes

I know married couples exactly like that who aren't fat. Correlation failure.

I don't know about that. A bunch of fat people justifying their fatness doesn't seem like 'ownage' to me.

I have friends just that act just the same; thus I'm 😕 as to what your "rant" is about Mwilding.
 
Big Fat Bastard is only disgusting because big, fat bastards are disgusting. Tolerance is enabling. If hating on fatties will help one reconsider that last drumstick, so be it.

I doubt it. I could go to med school, complete a surgical residency, complete a surgical sub-specialty in plastics, master my craft and fix whatever ugliness you may perceive faster than they could get their BMIs below 40.
