Bill Horbury


Here it is. My proof. And we must have taken this picture at least 10 times due to various camera malfunctions and multiple cameras.

I would like to clarify a point. I had earlier stated Bill held me tight during this photo shoot. I have been informed by his attorney that his hand was stuck in my back fat. Apparently, I mistook his struggle to get free for an embrace. My apologies to Bill. And my apologies to Bill's wife who could not see what I had that she didn't. Obviously - nothing.

PhotoShop fixes ALL!

Didn't get a picture with me? No problem. Post a picture of yourself and I'll photoshop myself into the shot. For $5 I will autograph it. I am telling you now - it will be a picture most people will look at and say "Who the f**k is that and why do you have a picture of them?" Save your money!

Michele, you were in such a hurry I did not get a picture with you. But then again, next to such loveliness would anyone notice me in the picture anyway? I think not!

With such a dashing group of people, I hope more of you will post a few pictures.

Pictures...

I'm feeling a little left out that I didn't get a picture with Mr. Butler. I guess I'll have to wait for the 30 year reunion.

Here are a few pictures I do have...

Here I am with Daniela Carusi...we have know each other most of our lives since early elementary school and growing up on the same street...

Me and Jessica Zada...


Me and Tracy Tuso...


Out on the dance floor, Denise Bradley, me and Jen Mitchell...

Finally, one I am not in....Daniela, Matt Wiltshire and Mark Bocchicchio...

Anyone else have pictures to share?

It's true. Anthony did take photos with men.

And though I don't have any of him getting all snuggly with Bill Horbury, I do have this photo of him, Mike Ricci, me, and Dennis Ciplickis.

(NOTE: In the background are Kevin Black and Dave Skaggs (back only). Notice how tall Kevin is compared to me despite him being in the background. I wish I got a picture of us together. It would have been like an Elf and a Hobbit, even though my normal-sized feet were shoved into really high heels.)













But that's all I have of Mr. Butler.
Next up are Matt Wiltshire, Denise Bradley, Daniela Carusi, and Mark Grondin.












Here's Bob Munck and Brian Altman












Then Bob moved on to a picture with Irene Szczech and Coach Lawson.












And last in this round are me, Rick Lewis, Brian Gehl, and Cathy Phalen.












Anybody else out there have pictures they want to share?

Better Company

While it is certainly an ego boost to have my picture taken with such a generous assortment of beautiful ladies - I must confess I have many pictures I took with male peers. I know for a fact I took about 26 pictures with Bill Horbury. But he held me tight in each one and I was like melted butter. (Neither of us are gay - I sacrificed our manliness for a joke. Sorry Bill)

But I can tell you what I use to attract so many women. It's easy. Even though I have a high intellect and razor sharp wit, most women only view me as eye candy. And as anyone can see, I had to be the biggest piece of eye candy at the reunion.

Sweet Jesus in monkeytown Amy! Didn't you take one picture of me where I don't look like I should be on a beach with people trying to push me back into the water? Couldn't you have taken maybe 5 minutes to airbrush me? C'mon, I printed out one of the images and the picture itself weighed 10 pounds.

I kid, of course. While I almost never allow myself to be photographed, this was a worthwhile occasion. Heavy or not, I'd rather have the memories of being with such fine people. And I never blame anyone or make excuses - little movement and big appetite made me who I am today. It's not society, the media, advertising, my parents, or any of the other things people like to blame. I have been winning my fight against anorexia for years.

The tragic fact is, it's not how I look that has become an issue. People who go on Oprah and say "I am big and beautiful" may be speaking the truth. But are they healthy? Accepting yourself has nothing to do with being a double western cheeseburger away from a heart attack at 40. I have looked at these latest photos, examined my priorities, taken a look at my son sleeping, and decided I'd like to stop cutting my life short. (Sorry Mark B. - I won't be having that heart attack up north)

I have been asked to continue BLOGGING (is anyone still reading?). As of Sunday October 21, 2007 I weighed 237 pounds. Amongst other topics, I will give periodic updates on my weight. My goal is to lose 2 pounds a week for a total of 12 pounds by the Saturday with Santa on December 8. After that, I will continue at that rate until I reach my birthweight and start wearing clothes from the Gap Kids collection at the 30 year reunion.

If you have a bad habit, change it for 6 weeks! Put that cigarette down. Have a salad. Cut down to one glass of wine with dinner. Shred your passport and stop going to third world countries for cheap sex with underfed women and livestock (I'm not naming ANYONE). What could it hurt?

What The Butler Saw

Women. 95% of my pictures of Anthony are with various women.

Here he is in one of his rare moments alone (sorry, he's sideways).













But then he joins Linda Fletcher, Jacque Rardin, and Beth Esters.













Later he gave me some alone time.













At the picnic, he was surrounded by Irene Szczech, Cara McGann, and me.













And then Lisa Macias joined us for a final photo.













What is your secret, Mr. Butler?

Reunion Picture Teaser

Nobody has contacted me about posting photos. And I just got mine developed today, so I'm going to just post them directly onto the blog. If anybody else feels like doing this, please feel free! And if you are in love with any of the photos I post, email me and I'll send you a copy via email.

Since I don't have time to post them all right now, I am giving you a little teaser.

Okay, first let me apologize. I lack the skills rotate and save this picture, so you're going to have to either turn your head or your computer. But then, it's rather unusual this way.

Just what is Lucy Braker doing to Steve Orr? Is Steve enjoying it? I'm assuming it's cool with her husband, since he is standing right there. (if you double click on the photo, you can enlarge it and see how bizarre it is.)













More, less provacative, photos to follow.
