    Recently had to come to terms with the fact that when I was a kid I thought of George Costanza as “the fat bald guy on Seinfeld” but in present day I am now older and possibly also fatter than George was on the show.

      Homer Simpson used to be comically fat. Several Simpsons episodes are about his insatiable hunger. I know plenty of people who are way bigger than that cartoon character

        Homer Simpson got on disability for being 300lbs, and he had to work comically hard to gain the 70 pounds to hit that mark.

        …so that insatiable, ridiculous weight he was already at was only 230 freedoms. Easily half the adult population is near or above that. Hell that’s not even particularly overweight if you’re tall and somewhat in shape.
