I have always been fascinated with people who are so fat that they can't even support their own body weight. I've often wondered about the exact moment in time when they realized that they couldn't stand under their own power anymore. What is the tipping point like? Is it that they can't get out of bed one day? Do they just collapse on the ground? Do the legs or the heart give out first?
I've always imagined that a really fat guy is eating at McDonald's. As he is waddling back to his car, his pulls out one of the 3 double quarter pounders with cheese that he has bought for lunch. He takes a monstrous bite, when suddenly he knees start to buckle. He tries to maintain his balance, but his knees fail him and he drops to a kneeling position. He looks skyward for some sort of divine guidance, but then his fragile knees fail him again and he flops to the ground. His last thoughts before his passes out in exhaustion are, "Perhaps I should have ordered a Diet Coke."

As an avid fan of fat people TV specials, such as "I Eat 33,000 Calories a Day" and "The 750-Pound Man", I can answer this question with authority.
Usually the tipping point happens in bed. The fat person gorges him/herself as usual and then lies down in bed to rest, never to rise again. Fat people who are "bed-ridden" eventually lose all muscle control, and a great many perish.
Also I'd like to point out that lately you've been labeling each of your posts "GLUTTONY". Your over-use of the word only makes it funnier.
I just read a horrifying account of a 600 pound woman whose skin was literally grafted to her couch because she hadn't moved in years. Just stop fucking eating!
