Fat suit + Empire State Building = fun!

From this:
...Though he is thin, athletic and bald, [Jeb Ray Corliss IV of Malibu] was dressed in a so-called "fat suit," like that used by actors, and a one-piece wig and mask.

...Crammed into one of the Art Deco building's elevators with tourists, Corliss rode to the 86th floor and there slipped into the bathroom, police said.

He tossed the fat suit, police said, and secured his black parachute, knee pads and helmet -- equipped with a digital recorder and a wide-angle lens.

Then, he headed straight for the observation deck, 1,050 feet above the street.
Yes, that's right, he was trying to BASE jump off the ESB.

In the words of your illustrious Vice President, why don't you go fuck yourself, you mouth-breathing moron? You and the rest of the Beer Belly Mafia haven't got the wits to find the zipper on your fly with both hands on a clear day with a 30-minute advance notice.

I only wish I could lay hands on a shillelagh from one of my "dogs-and-Irish-keep-off-the-grass" ancestors and knock you on your fat ass.

Guys like James McCarthy are just dying for chances to say "depraved." I don't know how they do it with a straight face.

"I would describe him as an individual who obviously showed a depraved indifference to human life."
