> faggette county ,shit! all of the tri state area. lol tom vito is the only 400 pound person i know who would start a fight with a 400 pound man for being too fat. lol he really is half the person he used to be. good job vito.

I was the fat ass, that hated fat asses. Some of the best fights were when you call a dudes lady fat ass, and he looks at ya and says " what hell are you?" That always leads to: " The fat ass that gonna beat your ass."

good times, good times.

I’ve heard stories about this happening also when I worked at shadyside. I’m pretty sure the nurse/doc said “sorry our mri can not fit someone of your build but i’ve had people goto the zoo to get their mri done.” The lady only heard “goto the zoo.”

haha I love it that this lady can’t be held accountable for her obesity and get mad that it interferes with her ability to use extremely sensitive machinery that was designed to work around the average body type.

Found a video, looks like she swallowed one of those big inflatable work out balls you see at the gym. 5’ nothing and 275+ lbs will do that though
