@MatthewVanston to be fair, I have some lipids on me, but I have a lot more muscle mass. When you have lots of mass covered with a little pudge, you look quite a bit like its all pudge.
However the reason for my name on here is for a couple reasons other than that. First its memorable, because its silly yet kinda gross. Second it takes away the obvious avenue of coming at me when I bet you to it by saying, why yes I am rather large.
There is also a joke in there, because while I was in the USAF I came back from the desert in 2001 with a six pack, because after the events of today that year, we were stuck on Camp Doha with nothing better to do. No airplanes, no work, so we spent entire days in the Gym Arnold donated to the Army.
I came back with very low BF% and my USAF unit put me on the weight program. They did not care that I was stronger than everyone else in my unit, and probably on base, they decided I was too heavy despite coming back 20lbs lighter than when I went over.
Now, 20+ years later, in my 50s, I have a belly, but you can also see my ribs and the definition in the rest of me is pretty good. Not bodybuilder good mind you, but like a svelte power lifter.
In 1991, after my first war and the massive airlift to support it, where I was being overworked severely, I had 22" arms, 52" chest, and nearly 30" thighs, while being only 5'8" and I could lift far more than I looked like I could. So I know a thing or two about work, muscle, strength, and masculinity.
and yeah, I have a belly, its damn hard to get rid of it when I can't run anymore since the 2004 deployment. Walking it off doesn't work, because I can't go that far, and riding a bike causes pain, but I will be getting in more miles on a treadmill and my bike over the winter and next spring. I think it would be hilarious to not have the belly and keep the name while being ripped..
