Bill Sproat says, “Thin may be in, but fats were it’s at.”

Bill Sproat could eat to bloat.
His wife could eat all lean.
And so between them both, you see,
Bill licked their platters clean!

News alert: There will be NO party at Tummi Yummies because **someone** (Bill Sproat, rhymes with bloat) ate all the food before the game even started.

After attempting the free throw, Robert Owens ran from the floor, hands cup over his face screaming “MY EYES, MY EYES!!!!”.

School officials denied reports that Bill Sproat was recently released from the Utah St cheerleading squad because of his sudden weight gain. Chancellor Barbara Jenkins was quoted in the Logan Herald this morning. “Bill’s release from the squad was purely for academic reasons…she went on to say…the fact that his large girthy mid-section kept causing the girls to fall while performing aerial stunts had nothing to do with his release, nor did his body paint fetish, nor was it for a lack of school spirit, clearly…”

Robert learns that sometimes even a foul shot isn’t free.

Sproat’s girlfriend, seen over his left shoulder, grins after successfully dropping ice down his shorts. When asked later about the event she responded, “just say no to crack.”

Congrats, Digger, but actually I saw DanG recently and he appears to have lost a lot of weight. He must be getting in shape for that tough city council race this fall. :)

If anyone runs against the one known as Mike, I feel for them. He has the heart of a lion and speaks his mind, even on this blog, which is mighty brave. I have a hard time speaking my peace at times, and I am a hermit. Thanks Mike, for all you do and say.
