Las Vegas Leviathan FINALLY gives us a progress report

[GOBUCKS]

As a kid, I spent most the summers barefoot, even riding a 10-speed with the old "rat trap" pedals.

So did I. It only took a short time for my feet to toughen each summer, but even tough feet would fry on Las Vegas summer pavement.

No one I knew ever had tennis shoes until we were in high school.

Only a very few rich kids had 10-speeds with those skinny tires.

If I had walked around without my shoes, my mother would have beaten me with them for wasting money.

By the way, for those thinking we're "picking on" a "poor fat man," there's plenty of primitives in the fat forum who aren't brought over here, out of kindness and decency for their plight.

However, this is the Las Vegas Leviathan, who politicized his plight--blamed his mother of sacred memory, blamed George Bush, blamed the Republicans--while the other fat primitives don't.

That's the difference.

Good idea to mention that, lest others think we're being heartless.

Yeah, it irritates me when the sob-sisters among decent and civilized people think we're being too hard on some primitives.

If a primitive injects politics into the primitive's problems, the primitive's fair game for ridicule.

Notice too that while there's tons of mentally-ill primitives, since most of them don't blame decent and civilized people for their problems, they're left alone.

Actually, I love the Las Vegas Leviathan; I want to see him get well and svelte and on a payroll somewhere.

But catering to his whims, assuring him his delusions about himself and the world are true, being nice to him, isn't love; it's enabling him to stay mired down in his squalid existence.

Yep and that's why I pointed out I've worked and run next to liberal women who were heavy and managed to condition themselves to run 5k's and half marathons. Not a one uttered George Bush as the reason for their plight. Plenty though as they widdled the weight around got honest about what got them there: too much of the wrong foods and lack of activity. They knew that they needed nobody but themselves to change both of those things. So, the 'liberal and fat' meme is ridiculous and dishonest since I know plenty people who qualify as both who don't endlessly make excuses and blame others for where they are. If they still do, even while losing weight, the will inevitably be fat again. Why? Because you still aren't being honest with YOURSELF about why you are overweight and it's easy to blame away everyday of overeating and lack of activity on everyone but the person who is doing it to you:yourself.

Well, if the Las Vegas Leviathan has a problem wearing shoes, this puts me in a quandary, trying to help him find a job.

A long time ago, when I first became acquainted with the Las Vegas Leviathan, I thought perhaps he could work as one of those movie-theater ushers wearing a red uniform and carrying a flashlight with him, pompously escorting patrons to seats in the darkness.

I've never been to Las Vegas, but I assume they have a lot of theaters there, and job opportunities are unlimited.

I forget the reason this didn't fly--this was a few years ago--but anyway, it didn't fly.

So then I thought perhaps he could work as a bell-boy in a hotel, wearing a round cap and red uniform, rushing to be helpful to guests.  That'd probably take off more weight than being an usher, and as there's a certain sort of decadent woman who gets turned on by rotund bell-boys, he'd probably get good tips.

When it was pointed out he would have to use the hotel's freight elevator, rather than one of the regular ones, because of weight-limits on what an elevator can carry, that bright idea had to be discarded.

So then I thought perhaps the Las Vegas Leviathan could be one of those guys walking around the congested sidewalks of the city, a sign in front of him, and a sign in back of him, advertising something.  Then alas I learned that's not a job commonly available, any more than a job as an Italianate hurdy-gurdy man of yore.

When he got around to mentioning the size of his feet, and that it hurt him to walk, I most recently thought he could be a doorman standing underneath the marquee of a hotel, greeting guests as they came in, and getting tips for doing nothing other than just opening the door for them, and summoning a bell-boy.

Las Vegas has a lot of hotels; I'll bet there's plenty of vacancies for doormen, and with feet that size and him just having to stand there, not walking at all, he's not likely to fall down.

Inbetweentimes, others here generously suggested jobs such as with a carnival freak-show, or starring in pornographic movies.

Now that the Las Vegas Leviathan's revealed that he can't wear shoes, oops, more limits on what he can do in a job.

There's not much of a call for people who work shoeless, other than smashing grapes with their feet, but those jobs are in France, not in Las Vegas.

Then like Saul on the Road to Damascus, it dawned on me.

I never paid much attention to activities going on around swimming pools, but I imagine the people who work at pools run around in skimpy bathing-trunks, barefooted.  Even though it's in the middle of a desert, I reasonably assume Las Vegas has dozens and scores and hundreds of swimming pools.

Perhaps the Las Vegas Leviathan should consider going into the life-guarding profession.

Not a bad idea. Considering his mass, he'd only need to jump in the pool then climb right out.

He'd displace so much water, the swimmer in distress would be left lying in a puddle.

I had another idea.

Around here, in any commercial neighborhood, every street corner on weekends has some unfortunate spinning a big sign announcing the greatest mattress sale of the century.

It's really amazing, how many sales with unprecedented savings are available.

Footwear is optional, and healthy exercise is available depending on the weight of the sign and how much spinning the guy decides to do.

There are still people living in Las Vegas, and they all need mattresses.

And as an aside to our little den of Cave-dorks, who have been doing their little moron ritual dance over my every word for years now because I dare to be fat and liberal: Please, please make me another couple of new threads on the first page of your little DUmp. You guys have such a way of making me smile with all your cute little assumptions and distortions! Get on it now GO GO GO GOGOGOGOGOGO!! Rally around the Sow-Lick and make some of your comedic magic happen!!

Well, if you had a JOB you would have less time to post moronic stuff on the internet.  By the way, my place of employment in Henderson is STILL hiring.  It's a desk job and pays well.

They don't make desks his size.

I really don't want him in my office anyway.  I'm just trying to be nice.

Talk about projecting!
