Oh no! My former shitlord friend just went to the "Dark Side" Ok, so we are a small close-knit bunch of fit, shitlording all-male buddies since early college.  This story is about one of our friends who we'll refer to as "Z."   Z has always been the least shitlordy among us, and seemed to even be sympathetic to them lard enthusiasts.  We still hang out with him though, since he didn't mind our shitlording and he works out with us at the gym. THE PROBLEM IS, our friend Z got fat since last year and is now, to my estimate, around 70-80 pounds heavier than what is acceptable to his height bracket.  A change in work circumstances and personal issues seem to have triggered his weight gain.  Of course, as well-meaning and true friends, we always shitlorded him the moment we noticed that he is becoming flabby.  But now, he is unfortunately 70-80 lbs overweight. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS, due to his career shift, he has began hanging out with some other mild-to-moderate hambeasts.  From 3 or 4x a week of working out with us, he now barely joins us more than once or twice every 2 weeks at the gym.  Instead, we heard that he and his new lardbeasts pack have been frequenting a newly opened "Mongolian Rice Bowl Buffet" near their office. (I think this is where you are given unlimited bowls of rice and unlimited toppings to choose from-- IDK, never been to one, never will).  Anyway, in short, our friend Z seems to have crossed the dark side. THERE IS A GLIMMER OF HOPE, THOUGH, because in the last couple of weeks, Z seems to begin to feel the bad effects of his larger, bulkier frame and unhealtier lifestyle, that he specifically sought us one Friday night, to discuss some possible ways to cope with his ballooning weight.  Our usual shitlording to him had been replaced with helpful suggestions (because we're his friends!)  In the last 2 weeks, he seems to be responding well with a combination of gym (cardio) and protein shakes in lieu of lunch (This was suggested by one of our other friends because his mom is a dealer/home distributor of a particular brand of "health" products. I will not mention the company but it starts with H).  So anyway, our friend Z had lost 5 lbs in two weeks accdg. to him. BUT HIS BUTTERGUZZLER PALS/COW-WORKERS ARE STILL IN THE PICTURE and that is our main concern.  Unless Z totally stops hanging out with them (he hasn't as of presstime), we fear that all our efforts to help him get his shitlording body back, would all be naught.  One of our friends has already suggested that we drop Z if he continues hanging out with them losers, but I told him that we shouldn't give up on our friend easily because I mean, that's what friends are for, right? Any other suggestions on what to do with Z?   P.S., I just realized, thanks to Z, that the more you shitlord, the lesser your chances to be a hambeast.  'Cause you won't want to become what you abhor the most, right???  SO PLEASE KEEP ON SHITLOARDING, YA'ALL!
