I was thinking how long would a giant gasbag filled with hateful arrogance take to burn up.

I don't hate on the overweight, just the people who should be removed from existence.

"BBW" is outrageously duplicitous 99% of the time.

As somebody who routinely enjoys having an insensitive laugh at the expense of the corpulent (from a safe distance, of course), I thank you for this post. Time will now be calculated based on chub tonnage per hour burned, and chub tonnage will similarly be estimated based on approximate cooking time.

"Wow, would you look at that glorious tribute to American sloth and indulgence (and arguably, thyroid problems)? I bet if we lit him on fire now, he'd still be burning next April, just like one of those cliche 'burns forever' tire fires that we don't know how to extinguish so we tolerate the presence of noxious burning rubber indefinitely (rendered fat arguably smells way tastier). His rascal scooter with modified suspension will be incinerated long before we cook off the first 25% of the carcass.

*"He" could easily be "she" or "it" depending on circumstance. I'm equal opportunity.

I share the desire to shoot down the 'oh, my thyroid is to blame for why I'm 400 pounds' rationale, but it works a lot better when you don't get your facts wrong.

Politically correct: a phrase that never meant anything, still doesn't mean anything, and is a catch all to dispute the role of language in the fomation of worldview (and anything else you don't like.) Sad.

Also see Dickens' Bleak House for human beings burning like tallow candles. Linbaugh would make a beautiful vigil (un)taper for the next inevitable terrorist attack.

Must be nice bein' perfect.
