While I seem to have already abused this topic quite handily already, I cannot bring myself to stop just yet.

One of these days, we're gonna have to sit you down with Boogiemonster and Kenny. We'll probably have to invite the media.

What Mr. Tie is notably omitting, for those of you who haven't met him, is that he's a seriously skinny fellow. I just saw the guy recently, and he hasn't changed one bit since college...and back then, he'd disappear if he turned sideways.

At least in my circles at CMU, several of the most notorious eaters were also the skinniest people in the group. We had one skinny guy whose original claim to fame was that he was the reason Sushi Too stopped doing all-you-can-eat sushi nights. And another guy, who was also like 6'2", 135 pounds, when we ordered pizza for our group, we'd count him as basically one entire large pizza just for him. Which was accurate. Conveniently, he'd also end up eating whatever parts of the other pizzas the rest of us didn't finish.

Sure, we had some large folks who were big eaters too, but I think the skinny ones actually out-ate them in pretty much every applicable arena. Damn their metabolism!

Fish is actually a very realistic synthetic humanoid. Almost indistinguishable from the real thing, except for when he forgets and eats his own weight in fried food (which he simply empties from its holding unit when he is alone later. His true energy source is a compact nuclear device in his torso; it runs very hot, which is why he can heat the whole damn tent when you go winter camping with him).

Well, that, and the fact that he never ages.
