Fats in the mountains I just spent this past weekend in the Rockies adventuring. While at the visitor centre for one national park, I visited the women's washroom. I could hear the sounds of something huffing and puffing as it entered the stall next to mine (the washroom is downstairs, but it's a very short flight of stairs from the front entrance as the main floor is elevated).  As I was washing my hands, this massive thing came out of its stall. I glanced in the mirror to see what the butterhuffer looked like. Horrified, I thought that some fat lazy man couldn't figure out the difference between men's and women's washrooms. I quickly left. Eventually, I saw it and its equally large husband chatting with a parks worker on the main floor. Its voice finally identified it as "probably used to be female". Of course, they had been too lazy to do any actual research in preparation for their trip to the Rockies. They had heard of Tunnel Mountain, and asked where the road through the mountain/the tunnel was so they could drive through it and check it out. A quick Wikipedia search yields that there's no actual tunnel, but it was named Tunnel mountain because they were considering putting a tunnel through it in the 1800s for the RAILWAY. So even if there were a tunnel in that mountain, they wouldn't have been able to drive through it. I seriously have no idea what these fats are thinking. Sure, the town is basically a tourist trap filled with overpriced shops that the fats could visit, but good luck finding parking. The only way to even SHOP in this town involves walking around.  Bonus: I was at the peak of another mountain taking pictures when I saw an obeast with her mini moon in tow. The poor kid must have been 8 and was already grossly overweight. That is just plain child abuse. They would have taken the gondola up the mountain for $40+ for that view.  As I was hiking up that mountain, the only fats I saw were coming down the mountain, and it was clear that they hadn't walked up to begin with. They appeared to be struggling with the walk, even with gravity forcing their massive bodies downwards. There's a discounted gondola ticket for those who hike up and want to ride down, but there's no discount if you just want to walk down. You'd still have to pay full price.
