Las Vegas Leviathan weighs in on Pizza Hut

Oh my.

It's pretty boring on Skins's island today, nearly all of them lumpenunterprimitiven, the faceless lynch mob.

So I wandered over to dear sweet Lu's place, the cooking and baking forum.

Okay, this is getting a little ridiculous.

after which some youtube thing featuring Pizza Hut

I'm not even going to write a comment.

On edit: Until I found this.
 
after which a picture of some bananas, wrapped up in what are usually meat trays

Pre-peeled (and then wrapped in styro and plastic) bananas. That's just wrong.

1. Of course that's off in Israel or the UAE or some shit, and not here in the US.

It's ridiculous, yes, but it looked tastier than half the ideas they market in North America. Pizza Hut gives us that excessively greasy garlic bread pizza shit that just looks totally to me.

Oh, but one's sure Kirk could wolf down the entire inventory of a Pizza Hut kitchen with no problem.

<<still worried about the five cats, as the Las Vegas Leviathan's food stamps for the month have surely run out by now, and the blimp's getting hungry.

2. Cone crust pizza.

It's basically a calzone that has one end open. Both these things rank right up there with some of these single-purpose electronic gadgets, like quesadilla makers and the Presto rotating pizza oven..

No reason for bringing this campfire over, only just to let decent and civilized people know that the Las Vegas Leviathan's undertaker hasn't had to order that piano-sized casket yet.

Bullshit, Kirk.  A guy doesn't get your size by being picky what he eats.   

[franksolich]

Bullshit, Kirk.  A guy doesn't get your size by being picky what he eats. 

You know he got enormous while dealing cards in casinos, where one of the fringe benefits was all one can eat from the casino kitchen.

I could see Kirk sitting there at a table, playing cards, a platter of steak and potatoes at his elbow.  And then a platter of fish and fries at his elbow.  And then a platter of pork and sauerkraut at his elbow.  And then a platter of scrambled eggs and hash browns at his elbow.  And that would be just his first hour at work, the first few hands of cards he'd dealt.

I used to think he was fired from his job because the casino kitchen went bankrupt, but it was odd that whenever he talked about working, he never mentioned going back into his old profession.  It was always something like "nutrition consultant" or "diet analyst," never "card dealer."

The Las Vegas Leviathan doesn't have much of an education--nothing past a GED--and it'd just make sense for him to go back to dealing cards.  He did after all put a lot of years into it.

Now I'm starting to think perhaps he was caught skimming off the house take.  GOBUCKS says that's a capital offense, and yeah, sure, it probably could be.  But perhaps Kirk just skimmed off a little bit, not enough to make it worth offing him, and so he was simply "blacklisted" instead.

Good casino dealers that keep their mouth shut about politics can make some very good money.

I thought our huge Vegas friend was on some type of diet so he could see what color shoes his wife put on him and made sure they matched.

It's too bad a doctor can't find some old cable from an oil rig to make the guy a lap band.

Casino workers in Conn. have to go school and major in more then one game. FoxWoods is just a few minutes drive from the Sub Base so many of the military moon light as dealers on off time.  Once licensed  to the major or minor games the license allows them to work in any Casino in the world.   Just check the hair cut on a dealer to suspect they are military. Helps if the dealers speak one or two other languages then just English.

My guess is this man worked in some rinkie dinkey gaming parlor.  It's all about the License, very valuable as a fall back,much like a Doctors License that even if he decides to run a way and raise chickens ,if the chickens all die,  as long as he has renewed his dues each year he can go back to being a doctor.  Diamond cutters call this carrying a trade on their back.

This man may never had a license, or been caught skimming the house or the players.  The last time we went to a casino was when I began to realise what a shark tank it is.    I am a people watcher, not a gamer but one day the last time we set foot into a casino, Hubby decided we needed to play black jack.  It was pointed out to me by a stranger sitting next to me that we were just above the drunks in being taken.

We did not know other then playing Black Jack on the home PC the things to watch out for.    The dealers can spot a new be  to the game, let them win a few bucks  and simply by holding back a $5.00 chip here and there make a good tip.   The dealer loves these ignorant souls as we are about the going ons.  They move fast not giving the player the chance to count their chips.    So when I thought I had won $100 in a game the stranger said to me, just watch and he yelled out,  you gave her only $75 in chips.  Pit boss came over, game stopped and sure enough there was a $25.00 chip missing.

That was it for me, I may as well throw my money off a bridge.  Just drive to the Gold Star bridge between Rotten Grotten and New London and dump it over the side.

He is the type that is looking for an "easy" diet.  That is why, I believe, he was so drawn to McDougal.  It gave him permission to eat all the potatoes he wanted without consideration for calorie intake.  Losing weight really isn't easy or comfortable for anybody.  Eating within a calorie limit means that you are going to be hungry sometimes, and I think many Americans are so used to complete comfort that they overeat to avoid feeling hunger pangs. 

One thing that I think many people who don't exercise forget is that exercise can hurt, even for those who exercise regularly.  Running doesn't always feel good, and muscles still get sore the next day even when you are in shape.  Having your legs hurt during a run doesn't mean that you need to stop that moment.  It may mean that you should walk for a couple minutes to evaluate what is causing the pain, but you may be perfectly find to continue running. Most really good athletes continue training with injuries that most people would use as an excuse to stop.

You're preaching to the choir here, madam, but unfortunately the Las Vegas Leviathan isn't a member of the choir.

I'll be blunt here and say what I really think, no holds barred.

The Las Vegas Leviathan doesn't like being fat, but if that's what it takes to get and keep a first-class ticket aboard the social security disability gravy train so he can diddle around with computer games all day long, well, he'll take the fat.

The Las Vegas Leviathan is a loser, and the sooner his heart gives out, the better it'll be for both him and Humanity.

I hope that's not too harsh, but damn, that's exactly the way I really think.

[Cruise]

Bullshit, Kirk.  A guy doesn't get your size by being picky what he eats.   

The fattest people I've known were the pickest eaters.

Of course, they were picky in the opposite direction -- eating only cheese sticks and chicken nuggets, that kind of thing.

Jeepers Frank, that is kind of a harsh statement.   I  did not that know being fat  could you get disability unless the fat is life threatening, just how big a man are we speaking of ??

Over a quarter ton, IIRC.

518 I think.   

I'm not sure of the weight.  I know the shoe size is 15EEEEE though. 

In light of recent events, I suspect he's up to 15EEEEEE now.

It was 519 when he first started his quest on Skins's island.

I could never get the shoe size straight, although apparently he needs a pair the size of flippers, his Great Weight having pressed down so hard on his feet.

I think you may be a few Es short.

His flippers are approximately the same width and length as a toilet seat lid.

You may be right, Gobucks.  Somebody better with maths should be able to figure out an algorithm to determine what size flipper he has now:

My slippers (remember -- size 15 EEEEE when my feet used to be just 12 EEE before all these problems) arrived yesterday.

He went from a 12EEE, to 15EEEEE, on 10/13/2009.   

The only problem here is the indeterminate date when he sported a 12EEE flipper.  If somebody has a good guess on that, we can get a pretty close estimate to what size flipper he is sporting now.

It's just a minor disability but enough to get him a check for not working.

I haven't done it recently, but back when a new Las Vegas Leviathan campfire was posted here--when the blimp was still posting--I'd give the help-wanted advertisements in the Las Vegas newspapers a quick glance.

At the time, there seemed a shortage of bell-boys for hotels.

That would've been perfect for the Las Vegas Leviathan; he could pay his own way through life, and lose weight at the same time.

The only problem with your idea would be if Kirk ever set flipper on one of the elevators, he'd just have to stand there all alone in the elevator with the doors open and say "sorry, full up!" to everyone.

The thread title would have been more appropriate if it said :"Jaba the Hut weighs in on Pizza Hut."

[vesta111]

Does anyone have any idea how tall this man is, a person at 6'8 can carry close to 300 lbs and not look very over weight.   Then a person at  one foot shorter at 5'8"  would look like the Weebles, they warble but don't fall down.

Bone structure is another thing, heavy boned people that keep to the weight of small boned people and their height still look much bigger.

 Genetics comes in here, these guide lines for weight on males and females by height and age do not take into consideration what is fat and what is muscles.  When a person on a forced diet to loose weight the first thing to go is the muscle weight, not healthy on the body.

[franksolich]

He alleged himself to be about 6', 6'2", and based upon his self-posted photographs, that seems plausible.

The Las Vegas Leviathan however has since taken all those photographs down, and "edited" his comments to a mere "."

It's very fortunate the originals are preserved in the archives of the DUmpster here, and elsewhere, so that at some time a "before" and "after" comparison may be made.

I dunno why the blimp has this rather quaint notion that his life is his private business; it's not.  The Las Vegas Leviathan is on record from years ago insisting that corporations receiving taxpayer monies be open and honest in disclosing how they use that money.  Sentiments with which I for one agree.

Kirk is receiving taxpayer monies, and therefore's obligated to tell those footing his bills, how our "investment" in him is working out.

I dunno why he doesn't see this; probably he's pretty stupid or something.

It's highly doubtful there's anything "genetic" about the Las Vegas Leviathan's obesity; from his comments and journals, it appears he's fat only because he's a glutton, nothing more than that.

It's glandular. He overworked his salivary gland.

I do not know Frank, genetics has played a big role in my life.  For years me at 5'3'' could not gain weight .  Most I weighed at the birth of my biggest baby was 105.     I ate worse then a horse most of my lfe, matabilism had to have a play in here.----

I was not a sports kid, school time I did not head out to play games, all winter long I spent at home in front of the fire place reading.

Food , there became nothing I would not eat except achovies or fish.    I needed Meat medium rare potatoes and any kind of vegetable I can think of, lots of real butter any kind of cheese and every kind of breads made on the planet.

Came a time in my 40's when my job was very strenus and I knew I had to gain weight to do the job.     I began to drink that diet drink Fast Sure for the extra calories, Ate all the junk food I could, and as a last resort quit smoking.   Went onto the asian diets of rice and added fats and still only gained 15 pounds.   So here I was back  at  105 and dieing for a steak, a pork chop or a turkey dinner with all the fixens.

Dear Frank, some of us are held hostage to our genes, all 4 of my kids and grandchildren have inheareted the small bones and small frame, except for a couple that for some reason stored fat in their boobs,  makes us wonder if it is the hormones in milk.   Yes we all females stand back and wonder where the boobs came from.

So the oppisit can and does happen,  people with a problem can live on carrots and lettice and never loose a pound.   They can play sports and go to the Gym but still have that extra weight.   

I do know as hard as it was for me to gain weight, those that want to loose it must have a harder row to hoe then I did.

Good idea. He already has Casino experience and I am sure the kitchen staff knows him well and can put in a good word for him.

Heh heh heh...coach talked about Kirk and said, "Weighs in."  Heh heh heh.

I found a video of him on YouTube...
