Kyle Wellwood is So Fat

Most of those who read my blogs know that I have been using twitter as a tool to spread the word about the site. And, well while Twitter may have become a little infamous in recent times for various reason, it's great for networking.

Another thing it's become good for is random ''Trending topics''. Someone sees someone post something, and they post it themselves and it get so popular that before you know it, it's all over twitter.

Today's such topic is a little bit unusual, but a lot 'o bit (pun intended) hilarious.

Kyle Wellwood, former Toronto Maple Leaf and current Vancouver Canuck, has somewhat of a reputation of being fat. I don't know why, he's only a buck eighty in the scale department, but nevertheless it's hilarious. Today, based on the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs will be visiting their former teammate in Vancouver, a certain Twitter user decided to start a topic and see how far it goes.

And boy, has it gone far, just see for yourself .

I'm just doing my part spreading the word!

Here are some of my favorites so far:

- From poster DownGoesBrown: #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that his scale says "1967" more often than Damien Cox.

- From our own Anthony: #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat he thinks the TSN Ice Chips are a snack

- From poster mlse: #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that the dinosaurs became extinct after he got the munchies. Only Chris Chelios survived.

- From hockeyindependent.com's BD Gallof: #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat Sean Avery gets his sloppy (joe) seconds

-From poster 2MAblog: #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that #MakeItSeven is his way of ordering Big Macs.

- From poster DHSpeedwagon: #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat he takes up 2 roster spots on my fantasy team.

Some of my gems:

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat they had to take the #canucks team picture by satellite.

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat he has more pounds than the Bank of England.

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat the GM Place attendance reads ''18,000 #hockey fans or 1 Kyle Wellwood''

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that when he ran away, they had to use all four sides of the milk carton

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that after sex he rolls over and smokes a ham.

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat he can't even jump to a conclusion.

- #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat the NHL had to switch to Olympic sized arenas so that he could fit on the ice.

This may be childish but it's hilarious and a time killer. If you haven't joined twitter yet, do so and follow me, and check out more Kyle Wellwood jokes!

Last night's game review will be delayed until tonight, or possibly tomorrow mashed in with the Game 10 preview.
