Some funny commentary in that thread
(http://images16.fotki.com/v30/photos/1/127099/526546/BellyflopLaunch-vi.jpg?1161950093)
I heard that on Bob and Brian this morning...they said a helicopter tried to come in but couldn't lift him out. Whether that's because he's 500 lbs or because trees were in the way I don't know. But man, how do you let yourself get that heavy?
A comedian did a bit on whatever story about a fat guy, way more than 500 pounds, there've been some guys 1000+ lbs.
Anyhow, how they'd say he couldn't get out of bed, stopped going to work, yadda yadda.
He theorized the conversation calling in to work:
Fat guy: Hey, boss? Remember how yesterday I was at work and was pretty fat?
Boss: Sure.
Fat guy: Well, today I'm even fatter. I can't come to work today, I'm calling in "fat".
