week 2

Hey, it's the Baconator again!! Got some juicy news weighin' in at 150!! Starting to get a belly which I've never had in my life. So that's exciting and up-lifting! My wife, Marcie is pregnant, so now we're racing to see who will gain what!!! On Sunday I cooked up a pound and a half of bacon and ate it for a snack. Is there an animal better tasting than pig if there is I've never had it. Well there's a Thanksgiving dinner at the church with my name on it so I got to cut this short. So until the cows come home and taste like bacon, this is Gerrett signing off!!!

Pic of Gerett

here is a recent photo of gerrett. he recently told me he now weighs 150. that is roughly a 15 pound gain...he is well on his way and we here at the fat guy club are very proud of him!!!

Hmmm....bacon is there anything better? Hi my name is Gerrett and I'm a new "fat guy" in the making. I've been obsessed with bacon for a while and now with my new found unemployment I am finally able to take that love to a whole new level. I realise that weighing in at 142 does not make me by any means a heavy man, but I'm ready to go the distance. For years I've been a fat guy trapped in a little man's body, but with help from Justin and the Baconator my inner corpulence will shine. My goal is to gain for Jesus 40 lbs. As of now I have grown out of my 30-30 pants and now my 32-30's are uncomfortable. Praise Jesus!!!! I love eating new animals and I'm not big into sweets so if anybody has any new recipes for big gains let me know. So until next time my your bacon never burn.( unles you like it that way!!) --Gerrett

Pa. Restaurant Creates 123-Pound Burger, Central Pa. Restaurant Weighs in With Whopping 123-Pound Burger for $379 - CBS News

CLEARFIELD, Pa., Feb. 27, 2007

---

(AP) The newest addition to the menu at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub is one whopper of a burger. The Beer Barrel Main Event Charity Burger weighs in at 123 pounds, a meaty monstrosity that its cooks maintain shatters the world record of 105 pounds shared by two restaurants in New Jersey and Thailand.

The sizable sandwich features an 80-pound beef patty, along with a pound each of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard and mayonnaise, 160 slices of cheese, up to five onions and 12 tomatoes.

It's topped with a couple of pounds of banana peppers, then sandwiched into a 30-pound bun. Don't forget the garnish of 33 pickles.

There's a pretty hefty price tag, too: $379.

The Clearfield pub unveiled the menu item over the weekend. Restaurant owner Denny Leigey said he plans to submit paperwork on his colossal culinary creation to the Guinness Book of World Records.

It's not the first time that Leigey has waded into the competition for the world's biggest burger. He drew headlines a couple years ago when he unveiled the Beer Barrel Belly Buster, which weighed in at a mere 15 pounds.

Leigey said he didn't know how many calories were stuffed into his latest gigantic entree.

"If you were worried about calories you would be at home eating Kellogg's," he said.

Beer Belly Protects Man During Car Wreck

Thursday, February 08, 2007

An oversized belly did a lucky milkman one big favor.

When a hijacker jumped into his milk delivery van, Andrew Creed chased after it and grabbed on to an open window, the U.K. Sun reported. But Creed lost his grip when the thief started zig-zagging to shake him loose, and he got thrown under.

Creed got banged up to the tune of two broken fingers, cuts to his head and tire marks on his legs and stomach.

But Creed was able to see the bright side:

“I reckon my beer belly saved me from being hurt a lot worse,” he said.

The thief fled after abandoning the vehicle.

Coffee with that donut?

Finally, a scientist with FatGuys'interests at heart! My question is... how would you wash it down if the coffee's already in there?

Scientist Develops Caffeinated Doughnuts
Scientist Develops Caffeinated Doughnuts; Each Is Equivalent to 2 Cups of Coffee

DURHAM. N.C. Jan 26, 2007 (AP)— That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That's what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he's developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine. Each piece of pastry is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.

While the product is not on the market yet, Bohannon has approached some heavyweight companies, including Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks about carrying it.

Recliner Saves Man Who Was Shot in Head
Calif. man shot in the head escapes virtually unscathed after his easy chair absorbs bullet

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Nov. 22, 2006

---

(AP) Now comes another reason to stay put in the La-Z-Boy: A man sitting in his easy chair was shot in the head by his wife, but the sturdy recliner absorbed most of the bullet's force and left him virtually unscathed.

The couple had been arguing at home on Sunday evening, said Contra Costa County sheriff's Lt. Charles Skuce. Then Jan Kamp stood behind her seated husband and fired a gun at the back of his head, Skuce said.

Because she fired through the recliner, the bullet only slightly wounded Norman Kamp, 57, Skuce said.

Norman stood up from his chair, followed his wife into the kitchen and declared, "You shot me," according to authorities.

Jan Kamp fired a second shot at her husband, but missed, Skuce said. He retreated to a neighbor's house in the unincorporated Pacheco area of the county, where he called 911.

After talking to deputies, Norman Kamp was treated at a hospital and released.

Jan Kamp, 58, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and booked at County Jail in Martinez.

red, white, and fried??

Where fat guys and patriotism clash? Someone decided to fry the flag. Somehow I don't think that would digest too well!

Deep-Fried American Flags Art Tossed From Tennessee Museum (from Fox News)

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — A museum director in this military town removed an art exhibit featuring several deep-fried American flags.

Art student William Gentry said his piece, "The Fat Is in the Fire," was a commentary on obesity in America. "I deep-fried the flag because I'm concerned about America and about America's health," Gentry said.

Customs House Museum executive director Ned Crouch took down the artwork Wednesday less than 18 hours after it went up in this community next to the Fort Campbell.

"It's about what the community values," Crouch said. "I'm representing 99 percent of our membership — educators, doctors, lawyers, military families."

He also said the timing of the piece could cause "incendiary reactions."

"Never in the history of the country has the flag been more hated or more loved," Crouch said.

The exhibit featured three U.S. flags imprinted with such phrases as "Poor people are obese because they eat poorly" and dozens of smaller flags fried in peanut oil, egg batter, flour and black pepper.

32 Ounces of Love

It began with a challenge... the Texas Roadhouse "Bad Larry" (32 ounces of pure, red, bloody meat). Matt had been plotting for weeks, and the time had finally come! At last, it arrived!



Matt started with the "skinny" end and began working his way through. He did hit a roadblock at about 18 oz. when the cow began fighting back. A little iced tea did the trick of easing it back into his digestive tract.



About 80% of the way through, the waitress asked if she should get the t-shirt ready. Mat perked right up. He didn't realize a t-shirt came with the feat! He had been eating the steak for pure unadulterated Fat Guy pleasure! With renewed vigor, he chomped his way through the rest... and put his game face on for the last bite.



And the final question from the waitress... "Do you want some dessert?"



The reward at the end of a long, enjoyable afternoon... the bulge of honor!
