The funniest part of the night is when I sat down to look something up on Fatty's computer and when I typed in the letters "G" and "I," Fatty's Google history totally sold him out and revealed one of his previous Google searches: "gifts for guys that like guitars with babies" that was clearly from when he used Google to try to figure out what to get his little brother for the holidays. This is fucking priceless and I still laugh every time I see it.
And Fatty got The Complete Idiot's Guide to Dating. Hahahahah. See? Are you starting to see a pattern here? (Check out his "Haha - fuck you guys" face).
Fatty reads up on Flirting 101. Hahaha. He bought everybody Richard Dawkins books and everyone bought Fatty books about how to succeed with women. Hahaha.
...THIS AMAZING PHOTO! Hahahaha. Holy shit, this pic makes me LOL every time I see it. (Bonus points for the chopsticks standing in as a spear to the ribs!)
At some point during the appetizers, we noticed that Amanda was wearing a hoodie with a zipper that went all the way around the hood! So when she zipped it up ALL THE WAY...
...it looked like we we'd taken our gimp out from under the stairs for his annual Christmas dinner! (Hey, 'tis the season!). Speaking of JC's birthday, after we looked at this photo, we realized that the wood trim on the wall behind Fatty sort of resembled a sideways crucifix. Which immediately led to...
That's when we found this gem! Fatty's driver's license from the late, hair-metal 80s. This is back when he was in a band called, and I swear I'm not making this up, Nasty Magic!!!
Across the room, Fatty was getting warmed up by a certain lady in a shiny shirt who'd take a liking to him. And Grant and I noticed that said certain-lady...
The ugly face game quickly gave way to the "shake your head back and forth as fast as you can and take a picture of it with the flash on" game. Here's Fatty's rubberface.
The show started out normal enough, but then halfway through the set, this wannabe Lenny Kravitz pushed his way up to the stage and started giving Grant funny looks.
Later that night I went to a party down in Chinatown (right on the block where I used to live!) and met up with Fatty (dressed up as "Tourist Visiting New York"), Amanda (dressed up as Harajuku girl?) and...
On Saturday afternoon I met up with the Fatty and we decided to hit the Halloween store and try to figure out what we wanted to dress up as. Here's Fatty trying to decide between outfits. In the end, he bought a shirt on St. Mark's Place that said something like "Fuck you, You Fucking Fuck" and decided that he was going to carry around his camera and be a "tourist visiting NYC."
On Saturday morning, we all got up bright and early and hit the Odessa Dinner for some brunch. Clockwise from left: Tom and David from Apartment, Kim, Meredith, Niki and the Fatty. (By the way, check out the brains on the Fatty reading Richard Dawkins a full two years before he became a household name!).
Friday morning I took the Fatty out for some delicous pad thai to thank him for helping me move, then I headed downtown to meet up with Niki so we could do some...
Fatty even showed up trashed out of his mind with a bunch of his co-workers! One of them passed out on the infamous couch in the back. (The site of 2004's infamous "Drunk Guy Jenga") And despite her being one of Fatty's co-workers, rules are rules. If you pass out in public, it probably means that...
Fast forward a week and Meredith and I have just gotten back into town after our trip. I immediately rang up the boys and we made plans to meet up for a drink so that I could bestow upon them exotic gifts from Jamaica...
After dinner we picked up a Duraflame log so that we could try out the fireplace in Fatty's apartment! It wasn't working when he moved in, but he dropped a chunk of change to have it cleaned and repaired and he was finally ready for his inaugural fire. While we weren't paying attention he made the rookie mistake of unwrapping the log from the wrapper.
So after several emails back and forth, we all finally got to meet big Nick S. who'd been reading my site for a few years. Upon first meeting the Fatty he even had the audacity to give Fatty the "get a load of this guy" face. Hahaha.
Fatty always has girlfriends that last about 4-6 weeks each. If we get to meet them at all, it's usually just in passing and only serves so that we can think up a nickname for them that we can later use to distinguish them from the others when he inevitably breaks up and wants to talk about them. Here he is with a girl that we dubbed either "Sparkleboots" or "Gee-Ritty" (I'm not even sure which one!). Any hot ladies out there in the NYC area that think they can tame the hunk-a-hunk of burning Fatty, email me and I'll hook it up, yo. (Sorry, ladies! As of the summer of 2008, The Fatty is engaged and off the market!)
Sweet Tits Whoomped her way into last place! (But at least she managed to block Fatty from gloating with his "I'm number one!" pose in the background).
Saturday night we all met up at Emily's fancy new apartment to go bowling. Grant called to tell us he was on his way and Fatty announced that he was going to hide in the bathroom and jump out when Grant came in the door (Hey, remember Scaring Grant?) So Grant walked in the door and Fatty jumped out screaming (holding a roll of toilet paper and wearing a towel on his head, no less) but Grant hardly flinched this time. Bah. Anyway, on to bowling!
