Fat suit fun

Did you see the episode of Tyra ( new millennium Oprah) where she went out in the fat suit and got a feel for how fatties are treated?
That got me thinking. Why should fat suits only be for skinny people? Why don’t they make a fat suit for fat people. It would be cheaper than a normal fat suit because you wouldn’t need so much fat in it. A fat person could put it on and spend the day getting stares and hearing the whispers. Then they would have the rush of ripping off their fat suit and suddenly feeling a whole lot better about themselves. It would be like waking up after liposuction, without the pain and bruising and bandages that have to stay on for weeks. Removing that fat suit would transform the fatty from morbidly obese to just really really fat.
It would also be a great new market for the makers of fat suits. I mean, how many daytime talk hosts and ladies magazine writers are going to do the ‘I found out what it was like to be fat for a day’ story? Not a huge market. My idea could send sales through the roof. I’ll tell you what will get fat. The fat suit maker’s bank accounts.

Castrover and out

So the old guy has finally retired and can I say well done on going out voluntarily. As opposed to being found in a hole under a mat on a farm by the Special Forces like Iraq’s old president.
Hussein had a beard that looked a bit like Castro’s. He grew his cause he was on the run from 200,000 US soldiers for months. What’s Castro’s excuse.
A lot of old people go somewhere warm when they retire. Alot of Americans go to Miami. Bet Castro wont be going there eh.
Anyway, he is already somewhere warm, and it has a good healthcare system.
So what now? Sign a lucrative sponsorship deal to be the face of a cigar? Or do a Pizza Hut ad like Gorby did?

Wonder if he will finally change out of his army fatigues? Maybe he’ll start wearing his PJ’s all day and go to the shop in his slippers.
Maybe he will ring talkback and bitch about the government.
Wonder if he and Mugabe have been chatting and supporting each other lately. ‘Go on. I’ll do it if you do it.’ ‘No, you do it first.’ ‘Ok, I will’
Of course Castro can retire in a little more comfort than Robert will be able to. Cuba is like Monaco compared to the drop kick of a disaster Zimbabwe has turned into.

Is it better to burn out than fade away? Maybe if Castro had died in the Bay of Pigs fighting off the CIA trained invaders with a machete and a pile of coconuts, he would have become as famous as his mate Che. Maybe Castro would be on t-shirts, beanies and cigarette lighters.
He was one of the last relics of the cold war, but legally the Yanks and the Russian cant stick him in one of their museums. Not till he’s dead anyway. I hope he writes a tell all book on his time in power on the pages of Cuban tabbacoo so that you can read the book then roll it and smoke it.
Viva the revaloution Castro, and enjoy not having to wear green anymore.
