I'm glad someone else thinks that cake is gross. I will admit that I have eaten some cakes that are really awesome, but they are few and far between. Office cake generally is the worst cake though.

I recently bought some T-shirts because the Jockey outlet was having a sale. I'm 6' and 175, pretty broad across the chest and shoulders. I tried on a medium, since when I left the U.S. that's what fit. It's funny, because as a kid, I always wore a large. To my amazement, the mediums were really loose. I tried a small and that fit much better, but it wasn't tight at all. Size inflation is real and obesity as a whole really needs to be addressed. Even jeans are mislabled. I've taken the tape to myself and I'm a 34-35 and yet I wear a Levi's 32 or 33. I understand that part of selling clothes is making people feeling good about themselves, but being in shape feels better than being lied to.

Yeah, I got issues with fatties, so what?

Note: If you are reading this and are overweight, but making an effort to lose the weight, I totally support that. I understand it's a hard thing to do. Being fat ain't sexy and being sexy is a big part of life (biologically).
