Super-Size Me:

LEM: Back to fat people. You know in the Ozarks how those skinny guys with the scraggly pube mustaches are always with those huge women? Exactly.
CR: WTF is up with that?!
LEM: That's how we love.
CR: I will never understand. But that is love! It cannot be understood!
LEM: We balance chicken nuggets in our bosoms while our skinny (see: less fat with love) men stand by our side. And that is how we love. Our hearts are so big that we're huge and have "tig ol' bitties" while we go after the scrawny, less-hearted gentleman. And we love them, even if they can't match us pancake for pancake at the Cracker Barrel, if you know what I mean. I really hope you know what I mean.
