gigantic primitive loses two digital cameras
« on: April 29, 2009, 09:46:34 AM »
Note: read with caution, as this is an ancient bonfire from Skins's island, long ago turned to cold ashes.  This is from August 2005.

Skins's island is so boring today I decided to do some in-depth research.

For the record, the past few months of this current year, the gigantic primitive has waivered between 480 and 520 pounds.

First weigh-in: 407 on my home scale (~30 down so far, pics posted later)

I will be using my home scale as my "official" scale, simply because I have more reliable access to it. It really shouldn't be much different from what I would get at my doctor's office, although I believe I actually get a reading about 5 pounds less there than I do here in the buff. At any rate, given that my highest reading ever was one of either 434 or 437, at my doctor's office about 3 months ago, I can safely claim to be down somewhere around 30 pounds from that lifetime high. Assuming a final goal weight of 210 I have 197 to go.

My food for today is a large serving bowl of spaghetti, tossed with a little extra virgin olive oil and basil, oregano and hot pepper seeds. I'll be dipping in and eating servings of it as I feel the need.

I'm going to root around the apartment and try to find one of our two digital cameras, so I can take and post some pics of me - and my bike - here later on. To help reduce the fright factor, I will also post pics of my wonderful wife and our three cats.  So, be sure to check back!

1. Congrats on the weight loss!

Keep up the good work. I Look forward to seeing the pictures. I'm sure you don't look scary.  I would post some pics of me as well, but I don't have a digital camera or a scanner. I know, I know. I need to step into the 21st century. But I do have a good before picture of myself already. Now I just hope to have a good after picture. Maybe I can get a relative to upload my pictures so I can show them here.

2. PLEASE don't tell me we've lost TWO digital cameras??!?!?!!

I've just checked everywhere that makes sense, plus some places that did not, and there is not a trace of either of the cameras my wife and I used to chat via internet before she moved here to be with me. They're not anything great, just Logitech ClickSmart 510's that are more suited to web cam duty than photography, but damned if it doesn't look like we've lost yet another $200 worth of shit. That, and knowing that now I'm going to have to buy a new camera or I just won't be satisfied, is the bad news.

The good news, on the other hand, is that about 3 months ago my sister-in-law and family stopped by Vegas on their way across country. They left us a disposable Fujifilm camera with pictures of them on it, plus quite a few blank exposures to do with as we wished. We have pictures of each other and all 3 of our cats, and we can take the camera to Target next Friday and get a CD made of them. So, if it does indeed turn out that we're out of a pair of cameras, there is still a way to do as I intended. It's just gonna take a bit longer, and the bike probably isn't in any of the shots.

Sorry to promise this to everyone and then end up having to delay on fulfilling the promise....

3. Congrats Gentle Giant. That's terrific.

Your spaghetti sounds tasty, but not on my GB diet.

4. Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulaions Gentle Giant. Remember that you may be hiding powerful potential beneath that fat. To me, every pound I ever lost was a relinquishing of a very old pain, a commitment to stop holding onto it, to stop letting it steal my joy. I wish you the best. I know you deserve it.

I was hoping to find mention of the nice guy who drives the gigantic primitive and his wife around in a bus, but maybe August 2005 was before he came into their lives.

I think the wife sold the cameras. 
I don't think that giant bowl of spaghetti is a good idea.  Turns to pure blood sugar.

50-50 chance of whether he ate them, or sat on them and they got lost in a fold.

     He should check the folds of fat near his penis. I think he forgot about his little webcam adventure on the Bear Lovin' website the night before.

The camera would need to have one hell of a wide angle lens.

You know, sir, when I first became aware of the gigantic primitive, about four years ago, for the longest time I resisted all urges to promote him, market him, advertise him, expose him, boost him, publicize him, sell him.

There are after all some truly sad cases on Skins's island, where it wouldn't be decent and civilized to do so.  And decent and civilized people generally discern those cases, and desist from mockery and ridicule.

But the more I read of fatboy, the more I became aware his true ugliness is not in his gross size, but in his ill-tempered, mean-tempered, sheer ingratitude.

fatboy's an ungrateful jerk, and so thus deserves all the mockery, ridicule, and contempt directed his way, and more.

It's not the same thing as Fat Johnny in the big city here, a friend and pal to all, including yours truly.  Fat Johnny is 52 years old, and awesome in girth at about 450 pounds, 5'3" tall.  Fat Johnny is mentally-retarded, and his late mother, overprotective, made some really bad choices for him earlier in life, but it's far too late to do anything about that now.

Unlike fatboy on Skins's island, Fat Johnny is grateful for what he receives, and shows it.  A sincere smile--and yes, even the dour franksolich can sincerely smile--of kindness and friendship and respect reduces Fat Johnny to blubbering tears of joy and gratitude.

I'm confident God has big plans, big rewards, for Fat Johnny in a time and place not this time and place.

Couldn't agree more, Frank.  Many people are, through no fault of their own, victims of cruel or simply capricious fate, and though good in their soul and deserving better from material life, they simply cannot help what they are.  Others could easily help what they are, but don't...like Lazy-Ass  over there.

I'm saying he ate the 3 cats.  Maybe one night Chinese take-out was taking too long, ya never know.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
