Baseball Team Starting All-Obese Cheerleading Squad (Florida Marlins)
Local 6 News ^ | 2-23-2008

MIAMI -- The Florida Marlins are looking for a few good men. Specifically, very large men.

The team is hosting auditions for baseball's first all-male, all-obese cheerleading squad: the Manatees.

Organizers said they want "big bellies with the biggest jiggle, big feet with the best dance moves and enthusiasm that will rock Marlins fans out of their seats."

The guys will perform at Friday and Saturday home games this season.

No experience is necessary. But don't expect to get paid either.

The seven to ten men who are drafted will only get tickets to games.

That's one way to fill the seats.

I've never been a cheerleader fan, but; us guys have been treated to years of scantily-clad nubile treats.
This is not fair to the female fans.

That would make them the “Huge Manatees”, right?

The Dallas Mavericks have done this for a while. They are the Maverick Maniacs.

Big bellies? Look no further...

There was supposed to be a picture there of guy with a big belly in my post. It was there in my ‘post preview’ but it didn’t show up when I posted it.

I looked up the properties for the photo and now it’s working for me. He just about shot my eye out with that gut!

How did you get the properties?

Does it show the red "X" box? Because the "X" doesn't appear over here.

I'll try posting another picture.

Tell me if you see anything.

This doesn’t always work, but when a red x comes up you can place the mouse pointer over it and right click. At that point you will see “properties” at the bottom. Choose it, copy the URL address and then paste it in the browser. Go back to the page you were on and it may appear. It worked for the “fatty guy”. LOL
