Guess who’s getting married?

Manuel Uribe and his girlfriend

Congratulations to Manuel Uribe, who we enjoy making fun of on this website greatly admire for his persistence on his weight loss quest. He’s dropped from 1,238 lbs to 700 lbs and is getting married October 26:

And as for the music being played at the wedding? To be provided by a band named “Pesado” (means “heavy” in Spanish).

  1. This post was an elaborate scheme perpetrated by Liquid Egg Product to remind me to get off my couch and exercise.

  2. Really. Get up. Exercise. Or else you will grow man boobs, make millions on tv, and find a girlfriend.

  5. I guess I’m going to have to exercize for all of you this weekend. Drop the remote, and get off the couch now! Don’t do anything stupid like go to Mickey D’s and order 10 Egg Mc Muffins. Shhhhh Don’t tell the Mascot!

  6. I just deleted a long list of puns because I hate puns. But this one just called out to me.

  7. What one called out to you? I love puns.

  8. Polly, you are foul and disgusting and sadistic. I thought you were a friend of the Eggs, but I will recommend your site be placed in the “Enemies” section.

  9. @likesforests: Or you could quadruple your weight to try to catch up with Uribe.

    @Annie: Yeah, but don’t you think his gf wants to get an eyeful of his alluring, sensuous figure?

    @Blunderprone: We all hope you were successful in your endeavor.

    @Polly: He saw your comment and is currently extra-irritable and annoying. Thanks.

    @BDK: Pun you refer to unrecognized. Could be an effect of too much Mount Gay Rum.

    @l3rucewayne: Me too. Sometimes.

    @Mascot: Request refused. And we’re behind on this week’s material, so I expect you over at my place promptly at 6 everyday this week.

  11. as you well know already, per Yahoo most popular, his similarly girthed compatriot died today of heart failure, when no one would tend to him. complexity so says that he both brought it upon himself AND was disregarded. yes, life is not at all simple, is it?

    i continue to enjoy your blog… kindly stop by and read my post, xEconomic Koans or Just Bad Behavioryz and you just might enjoy it!

    warmly, dk

  12. @Caro: Yeah, but at least there’s a sheet in between.

    @David: I saw that story this morning. Very strange how the two took the same strategy (going public, etc) with very different results. No, strange is the wrong word. But you probably know what I mean.

    Probability dictates I will take pleasure in reading your most recent post.
