Wednesday Weigh In #1: Soooo Weeeee, Bitches!

Alright you fat little bastards. This is it. All participants have until the end of today to send me their current weights for the first checkup of the official Pye In The Face Pork Ass Challenge. Here is how it will work:

- The Challenge will run from now until Wednesday July 5th – 11 Weeks.
- Every Wednesday, participants will email me their current weight and I will post it here on the blog for all to see/encourage/mock.
- Since we’re all of varying sizes and sexes, a’ la Celebrity Fit Club, we’ll set a target weight for ourselves, based on realistic personal experience, and the measure of success will be whether we hit that target in the 11 weeks allotted.
- We need full disclosure for this to work properly, and we’re all on the honor system. No telling porkie pies, mate!
- Prizes and awards are to be determined, but at the very least will include bragging rights and the ability to put on a swimsuit without crying and cutting yourself on the forearm with shards of beach beer bottle glass.

Now who the fuck is with me?! Let’s drop some blubber, buddies! Here is the tale of the tape so far. If you want to get in on this, send me your info by the end of the day, and be prepared to go the distance:

I’ll eventually get some sort of graph software to chart this out week to week, but for now – let’s just get the numbers on the board. There is room for many more. Best of luck to us all – this will be quite the reverse-culinary adventure.

1. Wednesday Wadio: The Weturn! You asked for it back, and you’ve got it, babies. But before I strike out on new musical homages to my favorite songs, past and present, I’m going to give all the writing I’ve already done a new coat of paint – in the form of video additions.

2. Wednesday Wadio: Coldplay’s ‘Lost’ Very happy to report that I spent a good hunk of the weekend on the boat which is now in the water, on a working lift and attached to a sturdy dock. It was a painful odyssey but one we have to repeat each year or until a lot of money is invested in a [...]...
3. Wednesday Wadio: Cut Copy’s ‘Feel the Love’ From the first swirling synths and gleaming melodies of curtain raiser “Feel the Love”, In Ghost Colours asserts itself as a hugely magnanimous record. Everything here sounds stadium-sized, loved-up, and breezily inclusive. – Pitchfork It frustrates me when the song I want to evangelize doesn’t have an associated YouTube video and I have to settle for [...]...
