Couch Potato Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Marlins Want Fat Men Who Can Dance Associated Press MIAMI (Feb. 23) - The Florida Marlins are looking for some footloose fat men. The National League team is creating an all-male, plus-size cheerleading squad to be dubbed the "Manatees". Tryouts were scheduled for Sunday. Men will be judged on how well they dance a choreographed routine. The team hopes to recruit seven to 10 tubby men to dance, cheer and jiggle during Friday and Saturday home games this season. Men selected for the Manatees won't be paid. They'll get tickets to games they perform at, and the honor of dancing in front of crowds that have been smallest in major league baseball for the last two seasons. Real manatees, 1,200-pound mammals sometimes referred to as "sea cows," are not considered the most agile of creatures and often get caught in boat propellers. The Marlins want their Manatees to have the same dimensions, but to be decidedly more agile. The Marlins already have a cheerleading squad, the considerably more svelte "Mermaids". ================================================================================ YGTBKM, right?

All they have to do down there is get a couple of overweight illegals from Cuba and they don't even have to pay them minimum wage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
