[Mini Rant] What Is It with Fat People and Guns? Really fat people - I prefer to call them "Boomers" [Screenshot, in case you've never played Left 4 Dead] - basically, they're zombies, but special because they're massively fat, and their (lack of) hygiene causes in-game problems if they "get you".  So I like guns - not do much to dedicate my life to, but it's fun to shoot stuff occasionally, and the engineering & mechanical design aspects are a wonder to behold and a pleasure to be a part of.  Of course, there's nothing you from simplifying it to "lol yay fun boomsticks bang bang". Whatever.  Then there's fat people.  Their massive guts would be polishing the glass on the countertops if their shirts weren't so greasy.  What makes guns so attractive to fat people? It takes a decent amount of effort to use them, and you even have to stand up to use some of them.  My best hypothesis so far is that it's kind of like a sword, but you don't need any physical fitness to use it.
