Oh for a minute there I thought you said Old Navy is getting rid of their separate but equal color, style, size, wig, and wardrobe theme collection?

If fat were really beautiful there would be no need to mention it. You probably weight 200 pounds tops. Or maybe you're not overweight at all, just ugly in some way, even if only in your own mind. Which by the way is often enough to make even a good looking person ugly. If you think you're ugly you usually are. At the same time if you have to say you're beautiful you're probably not. But what is beauty anyway? It is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? Well, from this point forth there will be no beholding going on anywhere under the aegis and ultimate auspices of my leadership as the first thing I intend to do on taking office is to order the instant removal of the eyes of all my subjects including even those closest to me. This is the only fair way. No more judging by appearance. No more judging by feel. No more vanity of that sort. From now on we go with smell alone. "Oh yeah, this one is where it's at, I can tell man, I mean to tell you I can just tell."

Oh man, that reek! Yeah, dat's where it's at.

We all know people who are not beautiful but are attractive. And some (or many) good looking folks are repulsive. And then there are the natural beauties. That is me. Very natural.

I haven't been 200 lbs since I was in the 4th grade, plus I don't have
an ugly bone in my entire body. The last time I weighed myself at my
butchers, I tipped the scales at a hefty 458 lbs. I can tell you're
one of those types who have a 'Victoria's Secret' vision of beauty.
Program your mind to believe that fat is beautiful and you'll see me
as the goddess I truly am.

I feel the same. I am a natural attraction. But I am ugly on the inside. Maybe sometimes it shines through, I can't always tell. Plus I don't always care. Yes, lots of people are attractive and not beautiful. Attraction matters. BAM. Black Attraction Matters.

Everyone is shallow but not all admit it. I am shallow and I admit it. But I am also deep. Very deep, very profound. In fact my shallowness has a deepness all its own. I wouldn't care if you weighed 1,000 pounds as long as your hip to waist ratio is attractive. It's all about proportion. That's what's sick about a lot of women who work out to get rid of their fat asses and sagging tits when that's really what men want most. I'm talking about the female body builder types. They have no hips. They do not have feminine physiques and they know it. So they purposely build their bodies to look as masculine as possible so they can get attention of some kind. I am majorly shallow in what I want. But I never demand it. And I never get it. I want a women with hips at least double the width of her stomach with tits double the size of her chest and nipples double the size of her tits. I want odd. Outsized. Weird. Way out. Strange fruit. New, unique, and odd with a once and done quality, memorable enough in it's weirdness that even if you never see the broad again just thinking of the once and done meeting provides enough juice to the brain's memory banks to jerk off forever. And the smell. Of course the smell is of mucho importance. Intense. Deep. Unforgettable. But without the typical fat person aroma that has some kind of weird ivory soap mixed with puke vibe to it.

I do have an odor (I'm told) and I believe it's because of a gland
issue. It's either that or because I can't reach all the crevices in my
body when I get hosed down every week. It's not easy being a lady of my
size and having a NYC apartment bathtub. I can't fit. Luckily the
landlord lets me use the basement to get myself hosed down. Otherwise
I'd really stink. Despite all the problems I have, I'm glad I'm fat. It
makes me stand out in a crowd. People notice me. I feel like a star!

LOL "I'm told." Very interesting, telling someone they have an odor. Always interesting. I wonder what the number would be (by official survey) of those willing to tell someone they stink vs those who'd prefer to keep their mouths shut (maybe to mask their own bad breath). But I do find it interesting. I am no authority. If two or more people tell you you stink, just imagine all the ones who noticed but never said anything. Your fat pride routine is funny but is getting old, much like fat people themselves who carry their heft around as a ever-ready excuse for all their many failures in life. This does not apply to you Judith, I'm just generalizing. Anyway, back to the point. You are a walking offense to society. In the same way that smoking in a bar is a second-hand abuse, think of all the people your stench abuses every day. But looking at the bright side, maybe your odor gives them something to feel good about, like, "Glad I don't smell like her", or whatever. So while I appreciate your proud fat ambassador mentality, getting out the word that it's ok to be fat, etc., - while I'm all for that Judith, I am NOT for people forcing their smells on other people then laughing about it. I know you need help. I can help you. We can help you. That's what we're here for.

I believe the policy is always honesty which in this case could come quite easily in the form of a short 4-photo profile of yourself in the nude.. 4 separate angles. What have you go to lose? What are you going to do, go around the rest of your life moaning because a bunch of people saw what you look like without clothes on? Go all the way. Show yourself. The real deal - with pride. I'll know if it's a phony because most women don't have much imagination and usually go overboard when presenting false images. Besides, who knows, I might see your photo and actually fall in love with you because of it. Then we arrange a date which only leads to more, of course. That's the way it usually goes when I'm involved. Then we get married. We have kids. Tons of kids. God, I love 'em. We'll bring them up farm strong. 3 squares a day plus snacks whenever. We gonna raise out kids with fat pride.

If I wanted the real thing I wouldn't be posting into this newsgroup, I'd be out making things happen. I don't want the real thing. I understand it. I even like it partly. But overall I just don't think trying to form relationships is a good idea. Unless you're looking for an excuse to use the drama to make yourself look like a victim. Tell us about the new love of your life you just met on Facebook (or whatever), how great your life is going and everyone should be emulating your life style because it's what's happening - and then when things fall apart you get to hound us even further with tales of being abused and somehow con jobbed by the would-be love of your life. I don't like the drama. Not for myself and not from other people.. Unless it's really funny or like really way out.

Life is all about the people you meet along the way. Each relationship
you form makes you that much richer in one sense or another. Think about
how much your friendship with Ollie means to you. Try to imagine your
life if you hadn't met Bozo or Charles Manson. What I share here with
you guys is my life experience. I'm saving $100 a week in therapy
sessions by coming to you guys instead of going to a professional. My
psychiatrist, who I only see once a month, thinks it's a great idea. I
need your advice about my relationship with Irving, or how to deal with
the twins situation. You Thomas, are my lifeline to sanity.

re : if you hadn't met Bozo or Charles Manson" ~ LOL!

You Thomas, are my lifeline to sanity.

Well, that cinches it. If I am your lifeline to sanity you are nuts for sure. I like the compliment though. Speaking of compliments, I'll take them even if they're not real. Same with laughter. I'll take that any way I can get it too. Some people say they don't care if you laugh at them as long as it's not against them. I don't care if it's against me. I love laughter so much I will kill to hear it. But I don't have the guts to kill for real. Maybe myself some day, but not anybody else. As for laughter, it does not exist in death. Laughter is all about dealing with life. It's a defense mechanism. It has to be learned. People don't come out of the womb laughing. Maybe through all of history, maybe at some point someone actually was born laughing. If scientists could fix it so people come out laughing, think about what they say - that laughter is contagious. So if just one person somewhere in the world is born laughing - and I believe science can make it happen - soon more people will be laughing, then more, then even more, until finally the majority of people alive are laughing. It is as that time that laughing becomes a crying shame.

> re : if you hadn't met Bozo or Charles Manson" ~ LOL!

Admit it Bozo. Take Bozo out of the picture and replace it with any name - any name at all - and poof goes the LOL. Once again you were drawn in my your own name. Don't take it personal, it happens with everyone, even us normal folks. But your own name drew you in and you know it. In fact, she should have kept Manson out of it. Like they're been saying for years on the entertainment circuit: "They should have stopped with Bozo."

Not quite you slightly incompetent illiterate acolyte of Bozo, because despite your envious hyper-critical disposition it just wouldn't work otherwise as a referential fragment unless it was in fact BOTH bozo and some other key referential name but thanks for trying you slightly hateful and envious loser — love you despite your major character flaws.

Say hi to Judith.

Your words imply your love for me. A frightened little boy show of appreciation. You liked my post because you know I am right, that seeing one's own name in print has as much or even more magnetic power than seeing yourself on film. It immediately draws people in. How about people who use it in real life? I met a few. One guy was a movie producer I drove to the airport. I did not know he was a movie producer but suspected that he was somehow associated with 'da biz. On the way I blasted into his profession, telling him I saw no talent. He began to mention certain movies by title, then would ask what I thought of them. Then he said, "How about "A Man Called Horse", did you see that one?"

I told him yeah I saw it and it was ok but nothing special. Better than the other stuff he had mentioned. Then I asked why. Why are you asking about that movie in particular?

And he said, "Because I produced it." His name was Sandy Howard. I saw the initials on his luggage.

Anyway, that cinched it. I had dragged it out of him. But he was one of those guys who gets your name first and uses it before saying anything to you. All the way to the airport as we debated the relative worth of his profession, if he had anything to say he would always precede it with my name. "Uh, Tom, what about the movie did you not like?, or whatever.

Then as we were pulling into the airport he says, "Tom, may I be frank with you?"

I said, "Yes."

He said, "Tom, you're nuts!"

I laughed and thanked him. Would have been nice if I had taped it.

He stole the idea from me - Mine was a Horse called Charlie. You know? A Charlie horse then I kick them in the shin.

> He stole the idea from me - Mine was a Horse called Charlie. You know? A Charlie horse then I kick them in the shin.

It's possible my encounter with film producer Sandy Howard has influenced my decision, but I have seen the movie "A Man Called Horse" two or three times since I first saw it in my 20s. Each viewing it gets worse. Way worse. incredible some of the shit I saw in my 20s and thought it was good, but I look at it today and I not only do not like it, it flat out sucks. Richard Harris, what an over actor he was. I did not notice it the first time I saw the movie, only years later, that the camera work was also very annoying. Lots of odd angles, trying to be cool and different, art school type shit. I look at myself in the mirror and say, "You mean to tell me you actually liked some of that shit when you were younger?", and I reply, "Yes", with my face twisting into a scowl as my fist slams into the mirror and shatters it into a million pieces.

I believe his first name was "Mister", his last was "Ed". That was
always my favorite show until I learned that it wasn't really Wilbur who
was speaking. I understand that they put peanut butter in Alan Young's
mouth to get him to move his lips while an off-screen actor spoke the
lines. At that young age, I was devastated to learn that television
would ever lie to me.

> What was Mr Eds name?

I don't know when that show came out but I remember watching it a few times.. I never got into it. I can't even remember if Mr. Ed is the human lead or the horse. I know you remember the woman lead's name because you said as a kid you had the hots for her. I had the hots for Mr. Ed's cock. Mr. Ed the horse.

Funny, I watch a lot of MeTv. Every Sunday night they have a half hour of the Ed Sullivan show. Remember the regular puppet on his show called Topo Gigo? I remember it but never paid it much attention even as a kid. Well, the other night Topo Gigo was on the show. He was on Ed Sullivan's arm, talking with Ed and cracking jokes. I was amazed at how real it looked. I googled it. I wondered how they did it. Turns out Topo Gigo was a 10" puppet operated by 4 different men behind a black screen along with its creator who was a woman, and a guy who does the voice. 6 different people went into working that thing. Pretty incredible. And funny that as a kid I didn't give a shit about it, but how now as an adult I found it quite amazing, especially stacked up against all the CGI bullshit they're using today.

Viva la Gigo!
