Nick D brought me the new judge shirt back from PT: San Diego and I was excited to try it on. The previous judge shirt was creatively termed “the zebra stripes” and had the dubious distinction of turning into a midriff-bearing shirt if the wearer was over 6’1″ or had a dunlopus majoris protruding more than [...]
The technician returned today ready to do the install. By “ready” I mean “lacking the basic tools do the job” and “do the install” I mean “ask me repeatedly to help him”. He was about 5’6″ and completely incapable of accessing the cabling in our drop ceiling so every time he had to thread something I [...]
Many moons ago, Teejay Green and I made a list of things that nag us as fat people. One of them was “cloths that fit that are purchasable in regular stores” or Fat Reason #28. To that I add an addendum of “be able to buy special print run shirts that only go up [...]
I don’t mind fat jokes. Most are poorly thought out and merely show the speaker as an idiot. I do salute innovative jibes or ones specialized to someone’s particular corpulence. I make fun of Jason Ergott for his double chin to the point where I’ve anthropomorphized it and have pondered trying to get it a talk [...]

I came into work late today not remembering I had a blood drive appointment at 1:30. I saw the reminder note to myself at 1:20 and gunned it to the appropriate building in our complex. I arrived sweating but on-time and was immediately hurried in to make it on time. I sat down, had my blood [...]
I downloaded StickWars for my iPhone, a game where one flicks away stick figures attacking one’s castle walls. New enemies appear over time and new countermeasures can be bought and I kept having problem with my suicide bombers. Normally, one hits the little bomb button and a little stick figure holding a bomb is launched from [...]
Sam: Where’s Terry running?
Teejay: I think he heard something.
*Sam and Teejay emerge out of woods onto road I was panting*
Me: Damn. I thought I heard an ice cream truck.
Me to Teejay while walking up a hill: Is this what exercise feels like?
Teejay: I hope not, it feels suspiciously similar [...]
Teejay Green and I initiated Operation:Fat Bet today. We’ve each set a monthly weight loss goal and will owe the other person $200 each month we fail to meet it. Teejay rightly pointed out that there’s a spot of a Prisoner’s Dilemma to the thing. If either of us finds ourselves hopelessly unable [...]
Marketing’s recent return to our office clime has resulted in some odd collisions. As a thank you to engineering, they left out donut holes for us assumably the night before as I saw no marketing folk in when I arrived at 5 AM. There was a box on each photo copier and the coffee area and [...]
