FUCK. IRRELEVANCE AHOY!

Assuming he is now, say, 130 lbs, I must imagine he had some trouble locating "used Little League t-shirts" for the 230+ lb. set.

So he was a fat dork and now he is a skinny dork? Epic win, eh?

Jesus that paragraph was embarrassing in so many ways

I could go with a Gary Glitter joke, as I've been known to do—but, just to show I can control myself, I won't. Besides, I might want to write for them someday, y'know?

Looks like he's bounced around a bit. This would be Newspaper #3 this year:

anyone who "self-identifies" as a hipster and tries really hard to be cool will be PERFECT for the WW.

IF YOU DIG AROUND ON THE AMAZON SITE, YOU'LL FIND AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK.

"Sure, I lost 100 pounds in eight months for the express purpose of not being fat (I’m 5'11" and weighed 290 when I started)."

WHICH MEANS HE'S STILL OVERWEIGHT. THIS IS A DIETING BOOK FROM SOMEONE WHO'S STILL FAT.

Great. Another newbie. Which means we have to endure yet another few years of wide-eyed wow-Portland-is-so-wacky arts reporting. Way to hire local.
