6'8" 6oo lb Arteriosclerosis Poster Boy

At 600 pounds, man's a good fit for promoting Heart Attack Grill

Where they spread lard on the buns.


"Blair River stands 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 600 pounds. His weight and his enthusiasm for the food at Chandler's Heart Attack Grill have won him a $100-an-hour modeling contract.

This week he shot a YouTube video commercial to promote the grill, which invites anyone over 350 pounds to eat for free.
River, who lives in Mesa and works as a financial adviser at the University of Phoenix, was the state heavyweight wrestling champion in 1999, the year he graduated from Payson High School. He played a year of football at Mesa Community College.

The Heart Attack Grill, at 6185 W. Chandler Blvd. near Kyrene Road, has a medical theme. Waitresses are dressed in skimpy nurses' uniforms. Customers, called patients, wear hospital gowns over their clothes. The menu features no diet drinks and high-calorie food called such memorable names as Double Bypass Burger. Fries are cooked in lard.

The restaurant is owned by former nutritionist Jon Basso, who ran a chain of seven Jenny Craig weight-loss centers in Oklahoma.

He advertised for the spokesman on Craigslist and Facebook, which is where River applied.
Basso said he had quite a few applicants.
"The economy is rough, and top-paying modeling jobs are hard to come by," he said.

River, 29, buys most clothes online. His shirt size is 6x, and pants size is 56.

He is a regular customer at the Heart Attack Grill. River says he usually eats a couple of burgers, two servings of fries and a Coke.

He has thought about losing weight. He hasn't tried popular weight-loss plans such as Weight Watchers. He tried out for the TV show "The Biggest Loser" a few times, but hasn't been chosen.

River has tried to lose weight by paying attention to portion control, but with little success because he loves food.
"I'm going . . . to try the Heart Attack Grill diet," he said, joking. "I don't know if it will help me lose weight."

Best drinking game ever:

Take a drink after reading any news article where your first thought is "This MUST be an Onion article."

You'll be quickly plastered.

(Click here to learn more about overtraining) This step also includes motivation and dedication.
Then the skinny guy finds weight gainers and tries them, or some other worthless supplement,
and never really understands why he is not big and muscular like
the other guys at the gym. Those who think obesity is due to their
genetic makeup relish any news that 'fat genes'
have been found as they look to blame something else for their predicament rather than their own habits and behavior.

If you are a great artist, draw a sketch in your home and yard, as well as that
which you'd like your finished design to seek like. Invest only on necessary features of your design like plants, garden tools, and rocks. Suburban development often includes vast energy dependant monocultures (perfect, grass lawns).

What you said made a lot of sense. But, what about this? what
if you added a little information? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added something to possibly get a person's attention?

I mean "6'8" 6oo lb Arteriosclerosis Poster Boy" is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news headlines to get people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.

For the reminder of the article I will be bullet pointing the stages.
Or wrap them in black plastic bags and expose them to
direct sunlight for at least a number of days.
Thus, attempting to control bed bugs on your own may look like attempting
to get rid of bed bugs in your home and ushering them into your nearest neighbor.

In fact, some of the biggest gains in penny stocks come at a time when the big indexes are on a downward trend.
While you can do these things with chat rooms, forums allow you to converse with more people, because you do not all
have to be online at the same time. There are many business tools
that you will have to use if you want to make money online work from home business.
