Today’s Thanksgiving is an American holiday that is associated with a large feast, football festivities, and generally being thankful. The original holiday didn’t exactly work out like that, and the puritans didn’t dress like Gordons all the time, but it’s too boring to discuss. Instead, let’s talk about the Third Annual 70′s Big Thanksgiving Weight Gain Challenge.
Before we discuss the rules, I want to point out that anybody who is aiming to eat clean today is a boner-faced gremlin. If you’re the type of person that makes everyone switch restaurants because a spatula may have gluten on it, then you need to go play in traffic keep your trap shut before one of us puts our foot in it. Unless you have celiac…in which case you shouldn’t eat bad stuff because nobody wants you splatter pooping all over their bathroom.
Rules:
1. Weigh-ins must be recorded on video with a valid time source. Since you may not have a scale to use at a relative’s house, there is no time restriction on when the weigh-in needs to occur.
2. The same scale must be used in both weigh-ins with the same attire or clothing. Don’t get naked; we don’t want to see your hairy dong.
3. Be concise, but try to be funny. Don’t make us sit through 3 minutes of labored breathing.
4. Upload videos to YouTube with a title of “70′s Big Thanksgiving – (Name)” with (Name) being your name.
5. Link the video to the PR Friday comments. Entries close when Sunday ends.
Failure to comply with any of these rules will result in disqualification from the contest and awarding of the Expert Shoveller’s Badge. To get an idea of what to do, review last year’s entries. Categories are “Absolute Weight Gained” and “Percentage of Body Weight Gained”. There may be a “Funniest Video Award” if someone is actually funny (this means you criedthefox).
Edit: This weight gain challenge is supposed to be accomplished by eating a Thanksgiving meal.
70’s Big wishes you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving.
I will win again. Not sure what for. But I’m confident I will win something.
My body is ready.
Bummed I didn’t actually video the weigh-ins but my unofficial results:
9am: 158 lbs
9pm: 165.5 lbs
is anyone actually participating in this??
I’m in so much pain right now. These damn videos better upload or I’ll be pissed. 191-> 204
Jesus. Can’t wait to see the videos.
well here’s mine. I can’t say it really makes any real sense, but it was a hell of a production.

At first, I was like “5 minutes of this?”
Then the opening credits started rolling, and I started getting impressed.
Then I was like “Maybe it IS just 4 minutes of this guy wandering around.”
Later I was like “9:04, that’s hilarious”
Overall, funny stuff.
believe it or not i cut it down by about 1:30. It’s kind of a spoof on the first episode of The Walking Dead when Rick wakes up from his coma and its painfully long and drawn out.
thanksss
Good stuff! I liked the opening credits; well done! That’s a serious food baby. And is that a flannel bathrobe?
a man wears flannel whenever possible.
ASOFAI reference and supporting the revolution… in 6 words. Well played!
And play by the rules people, don’t be like that hardymushroom faget who turned in his submission like a week late to steal victory from my grips last year…yeah, I’m still pissed. Fuck you.
I’ll say it early, but I think Brian’s the winner. That’s a lot of weight for a little guy.
No video, but went from 198.6 to only 202.4! What the hell. I was writhing in pain from my giant blood gut and I only gained 4 lbs!?! Still worth all 5 excruciating pieces of pie…
I should’ve video’ed. I gained 4 girl lbs which is like 12 man lbs.
Got it handled, waiting for friday’s post….
214 —> 222
Misery.

Disappointing that no women did this.. haha. :) Not that I would want to do it because I find this challenge quite gross… but it would have been interesting.
