Strongest Man in Baja

We spent last weekend in San Felipe. It lacked the adventure to warrant a trip report but it was a fun weekend introducing a Massachusetts sister-in-law to the Sea of Cortez. There was plenty of entertainment on the beach. One clown nearly drowned himself while launching his waverunner requiring an ambulance to back down the beach. He was very shaken up but OK.

Here is a series of photos of the strongest man in Baja in front of El Cortez Hotel -

What a great weekend!!!

SAVE THE WHALES!

This calls for a small engine hoist on the bow.

I hate that when that happens

i can't stop rolling everytime i think of this. Good one dude!

Overweight women sure are easy targets for the bad and rather tasteless jokes.

Diane, and yes I am quite overweight.

I also am overweight, and I am not proud of it. In the mean time, if I don't do something about this, I EXPECT to be kidded by others for my bulbous contour!!!

Tastless, but that is just my opinion.

shame on you....

your horrible.... sad but true....

I am ashamed for laughing at that remark. But I must say for those with "bulbous" body shapes it is just as bad when your too thin. I suffered a serious injury to my stomach when I hit a very large "elk" and had to have stomach surgery...as a result I was unable to eat (normal) for several years...leaving me to look like a cadaver as my sister told everyone in my family...so if you do not think people say horrible things about you when your toooooo thin think again...they point and stare and think you are bulimic or anorexic and let me say it is just as bad....
I guess I am just jealous because there are times when I cannot eat at all (liquids only) and I want to scream at people that seem to REALLY enjoy consuming large volumes of food....or just eating at all...
I guess the answer is to try and take as good a care as we can for our health....which is very hard to do in todays life as everything is based on food...I did not leave the house or could barely watch tv for the first year because of all the "food" offered...restuarants...billboards...commercials..grocery stores...fast food...minimarts blah blah blah....it was horrible. It is almost harder to be too thin I think sometimes...at least from my situation....
I am glad that the kind gentleman was there to offer help for the lady in distress...god bless her for getting out there and trying to have a good time...as long as she is comfortable with who she is...god bless her...

You're NOT alone in that opinion, Diane!! A lot of the male population lack the sensitive gene; but make up for it with an overabundance of insensitive genes!!

It's like Jews can tell Jewish jokes to other Jews and
blacks can tell black jokes to other blacks.......
I also have had bulbous tendencies.

If I saw me looking like that on the beach, I would laugh at me too !!
If you don't love ALL of me, the heck with ya'all !!

Totally inappropriate response. Not sure if you are just having a bad day but think you should take a break

I hear ya...

Still tasteless.

She's not.

It's always fun until someone gets hurt...

Had a guy working for me who was rather " say Pudgy ". Had a sticker on his truck that said ' Not fat, just short for my weight "
Probably should have been 7' 11''

Yep, there is a definite line between fun and nasty.
Unfortunately, that line is in different places for each person.

Now I am in jeapardy of losing favor with my favorite Asuncion storyteller, freight handler and neighbor......what to do, what to do ??

Dinner at our place ??

Yes, that will help---just get your place built.

It is OK to agree to disagree. Also, I guess this means you won't mind the arrowhead stand we are building by your property.

Last thought to all. I can, and do make remarks about myself being the fat little old grey haired lady, but my first thought here was that while that lady was having a good time, did she know she was going to published on the internet to be the target of cheap shots?

And gentlemen, it is different with women and some of you will never understand it, but that is OK.---it would take too much time to explain, and might fall on deaf ears.

Even if I was skinny, I would have still hurt and found the humor tasteless. And if you think I reacted to this, you should have heard John----OK, off the soap box now, and back to packing for Baja.

Hope!

We are what we are...

... take it or leave it...

But, let's not be un-nice each other.

Look, I'm overweight, too!

reminds me;

"that's not a beer belly! it's a fuel tank for a sex machine!!!!"

I once saw a news report on TV that looked at a conclusion of a scientific study that said men were smarter than women.

Later in the same segment a reporter was interviewing a man about it while his wife was by his side.

The reporter asked the man, "Do you think men are smarter, or women?"

The man almost spoke, hesitated, then looked at his wife and said, "Women are smarter.. of course"

That's a smart man.

None of us know when it is right to say certain things all the time. We all put our feet in our mouths sometimes. Everyone has different ideas of what is mean and insensitive, as everyone has different ideas about what is funny.

Most people could us a lightening up for sure. (Pun is intended)

Oso...my belly hurts....Fat Albert over and out....

How did you manage to dig this back up.


Almost looks like you want to hear some more of this banter.

I just read this post for the first time and here is my take on this

That lady could not care less what any of you think of her body...it is her body and that is the end of that discussion. From what I see, Mexican women have a more positive body self-image than most gringa women that I know.

That does not give you the right to insult her but I doubt if she needs any of our protection.
