He also lives in my state, unfortunately.

Virginia! I used to play cards with him when I was younger and the hobby store was a couple blocks away from (what I assume) where it is now. He dressed up as the main character from Pokemon during every tournament he was in.

When I was in China on a school trip, we ran into a group of Chinese tourists who I guess were from a very far distant, less westernized part of the country, because they were extremely excited about the Imperial Summer palace and had clearly never seen it before. When we crossed paths, they caught sight of three of my fellow classmates who were black women, and absolutely mobbed them, grabbing and tugging on their hair. We lost sight of them for about a minute, until one ran out of the crowd screaming. I can only imagine how weird that was, and I bet the sad part is that it happens to them all the time in the US too, albiet in a less dramatic way.

I was told that the hobby store noticed Chris wearing that shirt every single time he showed up, for years upon years, until he became too fat to wear it anymore. He fatted out of it.

I promise I haven't abandoned the anime store owner story. I'm dropping in to apologize that I had to be afk for much longer than I expected today and I'll do my best to write soon, although it can't be tonight. The wait will be worth it though. In this volume, the owner forced untrained, sleep-deprived volunteers to pilot overloaded freight trucks around clifftops, and while he surpassed our expectations of not returning alive, the resulting clusterfuck of sixteen tons of stolen porn manga was still terrific to behold.

That reminds me of an awkward story from the bookstore I used to work in. We'd have Yu-Gi-Oh tournaments every Saturday. They were really supposed to be for kids, and we'd have little prizes for the winners, but after a while, the contestants that'd show up would be way too old to be playing a children's card game, so we stopped bothering with the actual tournament thing and just let them do whatever as long as they didn't bother any of the other customers, as our corporate office decided. That was a mistake.

The people that would show up were all middle school or high school aged, with a few 20-30 year-olds in the mix. They'd all set up in the magazine section, which was the most open of the store. Everyone who worked in the store dreaded having to go over there because walking through that area was like walking into a cloud of B.O. and Axe body spray. You'd seriously have to hold your breath to get through it, because the stench of 20-30 disgusting teens could quite possibly kill you. The most unlucky of us would have to stand guard by them because they had a habit of tearing open the Shonen Jump magazines to steal the special Yu-Gi-Oh cards out of them. We'd also find open packages of the cards they'd steal from the nearby Target in that area and in the Men's bathroom garbage. They were loud and rude and would shout expletives like they didn't realize or care they were in a public space. We kept trying to shut down the 'tournament weekends' but our corporate office wanted it to keep going, as they said it 'was good for business'.

One time a man came in with his children to play in the league games, took one look at the hideous crew gathered, and came up to ask me if this is where the Yu-Gi-Oh games were held. All I could say was "I'm sorry, that's it. You might want to try finding another place." He just nodded and left.

Another time I had to put back magazines while their games were going on, so I steeled myself and headed into the stank cloud. While I was in there I overhead a conversation between two of the players:

Creep 1: "Man, I'd really like to have a girlfriend, but then I'd have to spend my weekends with her instead of coming here."
Creep 2: "If I had to choose between Yu-Gi-Oh and a girlfriend, I'd choose Yu-Gi-Oh. At least you can win with that."

That was one of the funniest and saddest things I'd ever heard. There was also a really old guy who would show up and offer to keep score for them on a laptop, but I don't really know what his deal was since I tried to keep my distance from them all.

Porpoise noise continues.
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I present the following bit of b-hole-puckering comedy, Walt Disney World At Large.

Want to make sure you can scarf down ten of those massive "turkey" legs AND still fit your misshapen husk...er, hulk on Splash Mountain? Will the operator at It' a Small World roll their THIN PRIVILEGED eyes at you when you step into a boat and it sinks? Well, wonder no more! WDW At Large is here to help the more amply-proportioned denizens of Disneyworld. As one poster says,

"People of size... chubby folks... those with girth... whatever your choice of words to use, those of us who are fat definitely get nervous when it comes to turnstiles, rides, or restaurant chairs... wondering "will I fit?" While what you find on this page might not alleviate your every concern, my hope is that it will at least help you feel more comfortable about your Walt Disney World vacation."



Here are some more collected quotes from the "trip reports":

"On seatbelt rides, the pull-belt-all-the-way-out-first tip worked every time (and it helps to have your friend/family next to you to help buckle it if you can’t see the latch below your bulk!) One caution: on bar-across-the-lap rides where you share a restraint with another person, absolutely do not ride with a skinny person or smaller child…the restraint will stop & lock based on the size of your tummy, which will leave way too much room for them—my skinny daughter didn’t like getting slammed around so much on Thunder Mountain Railroad since her tummy was a good 6 inches away from the restraining bar. She likes to do the “hands in the air” kind of roller coaster riding, but couldn’t on this—felt she had to hang on because the restraint was too far away to feel secure on her."

:stonk:

"Me - 6'2 about 375 Pounds. 56" Pant Size worn at Belly Button level. 20-30 year old age range. ;) I can't give away all my secrets."

no please don't

"And for some of the lap belt rides, I put the lap belt under my big stomach for a snugger fit. Disney is very size friendly and I wanted to share this so others will have the courage to go on the rides they want."

Don't be afraid!

"My husband and I just returned from WDW. Both of us are large people (He is 5'10 375lbs, I am 5'2 325lbs we both carry a spare tire around the middle). We had a wonderful time. We had no trouble at all fitting onto any ride. Of course I did my homework from all ears net.

The rides we were concerned about at MK were space mountain, astro orbiter, and haunted mansion. We had no problems whatesoever. It is true some of the turnstiles are a bit of a squeeze (suck it in and lift your tummy over the bar), we made it work."

Actually, you can use your gunt as an airbag if the ride crashes.

Roller coasters must have a weight limit, right? I'm not talking about individuals, but they've been designed to pull a bunch of people round using a fairly generous upper limit of a person's weight. What if everyone on the coaster was 350 lbs? Would it just go half way up the loop de loop and give up? One or two larger people won't make much of a difference, but you have to wonder to what weight they gave allowances for.
