When Wuzizname was a youngster his dad took him to the freakshow at the CNE every year (it's like the state fair but lamer because it's a Canadian thing).

They had freaks there and they had the "World's Fattest Man" seated on what was supposed to be a scale and I remember he was around 800 lbs, he'd yell at all the kids to stop staring at him and was scary.

Another thing they had was "See The MAN EATING Chicken" where they had this picture of a scary evil chicken chasing kids - turned out after you paid your $2 bucks to see it it was just the World's Fattest Man on his lunch break eating a bucket of chicken.

Did they? I'm sure it was an age old carnie gag.

That’s part of the appeal. They gave the guy with thalidomide a gun and let him shoot anyone who threw things.

i used to buy drugs off a guy who was genuinely much fatter than this guy. i went there nearly every day for 2 or 3 years. would always hang around for a couple hours cause he was just some old country butt dude who was fun to talk to. i never saw him stand or be anywhere other than his couch. his legs from the knees down were a very deep purple. he used to brag about how he'd always go to strip clubs and all the strippers were all over him.

i haven't thought about this guy in like 15 years. god he was huge.

It's called rdrama, and it's free, open 24/7, and gives out free tomatoes to throw.

Freakshow

Hosts malformed people, people who mutilated themselves or are plain r-slurred

So rDrama before rDrama?
