Iʼm not one of The Fat Guys, but I know them pretty well. Weʼve been doing this web site thing for going on four months now, and Iʼm still trying to get a bite in edgewise.
I want to accomplish two objectives with this blog that hopefully will become a regular feature on twofatguyswithnothingtodo.com. If you havenʼt pieced it together by now, Iʼm Nothing to Do, but my friends call me NTD. I like to be on a first initial basis with those closest to me.
My first goal is to just get the word out there in the blogosphere that being fat doesnʼt have to have the stigma that we Americans have so delightfully attached to it. Secondly, I hope to shut Phil and Denny up about constantly telling me I donʼt contribute anything to the site.
Just in case you have the ability to read but at the same time lack the ability to discern...we love trivia. Yes, we could have started this website as another panegyric to useless information (last count: 3,333,333 such sites). Instead, we hope to take those self same tidbits, give them just a quarter-turn, and presto -- The Twilight Zone of Trivia. Most of the stuff you see on this site is based (in varying degrees of looseness) on fact. What happens to it after that, well it's anybody's guess.
By the way, we have never, we arenʼt now, and we never will make fun of fat people. See, as far as weʼre concerned, being fat isnʼt a physical state, but rather a state of mind. What word almost always comes to mind when you think about a fat person? "Jolly" -- am I right? It is therefore almost incomprehensible to us that , as a recent study of how people dispose of their disposable income pointed out, the third most popular way to get rid of our money is chasing physical fitness. Talk about a trivial pursuit! There are only two things that we blow our extra money on more freely than the quest to get and stay skinny.
Of course, number two on that list is fast food. Think about that for just a minute. Out of every disposable dollar in our pocket, we spent 14 cents of it eating at McDʼs, then turn around and spend the next 12 cents sweating it off! How did it come to this? FYI: The number one expenditure: Porn. Thatʼs blog fodder for another time.

Phat Fat Fact: If you could extract all the fat from the body of the average 200 pound man, then spread that fat out at the thickness of a piece of copier paper, it would cover an area roughly the size of one-half of a one acre field.
Phatter Fat Fact: At exactly 3:47 PM on the day of the Summer Solstice, Dennyʼs shadow covers the other half.
Till next time...
