Ryan's Currently Unnamed Blog

Ok, so my company is having its summer party at Great America, a Six Flags theme park near Chicago. I was pleasantly surprised that despite it being one of the first summer weekends, with temperatures in the mid 90s (and humid, yay humidity!), the park really wasn't all that crowded.

A park employee offered an explanation: many high school age kids had graduation parties. I think that the HUGE new waterpark that they opened had something to do with it. I'd saw about 1/4 to 1/3 of the park is taken up by 'Hurricane Harbor'... And it actually looks like it would be a lot of fun. The place was packed... But the real reason I'm writing about this is simply because I was more impressed by the sheer size of the PEOPLE here.

I really should have taken a picture of some of them... And I wouldn't hesitate to post the nasty ass behemoths here.
Now... Its no real secret that americans are waaaaay overweight. And, yeah... I can't put on any weight if I wanted to... But wow... These people have no shame!

There were faaaar too many 300+ pound women in bikinis strutting around like they were supermodels. They actually looked PROUD of their appearance! I'm sure some of them have issues that go beyond laziness and eating everything in sight... But unless there was some convention that rented out the park, I really think this was an honest cross section of the american public.

Was it always this way? I don't seem to recall seeing this many GIGANTIC people, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention. I was a lifeguard for 4 summers and haven't seen this many disgusting people in all my days lifeguarding, combined!

Now, I'm really not a shallow person... And I'm sure that some of them are fantastic people... But wow.... They should have people in whatever store they got their swimsuits that watch these people and use a cattle prod on them when they get close to the bikini section....

Wow... I just don't get it.... Enough rambling.... Next time.. I'll get pictures!!

Oh, and this was also posted FROM Great America while I was waiting for a ride... Yay for mobloging from my Sidekick!!
