@001zlnv I'm 44. You shush. :)

Worse, I'm EXACTLY his canonical weight. That's a hell of a burden to carry around.

@zebratron2084

Wait what is his weight?

@zebratron2084

I'm seeing 240 and there is no damn way he's 240. That would make him 10 pounds lighter than I was in high school and 1 inch shorter. Just not even possible.

@001zlnv Yeah, I believe the exact figure is 238, but I can't swear to where I found it or what episode it's allegedly from. And... yeah, that does seem pretty low by 2019 standards, doesn't it. FWIW, I think it's from before "big wacky fat guy" was Homer's main personality trait instead of "lovably gruff working-class dad."

@zebratron2084

... or I just got to an episode where they said what his pants size is. And they really do mean for him to be 5'11 240 lbs. That really kind of reframes a lot of those fat jokes they make.

@001zlnv Just outta curiosity, what season? I think the Homer Phase (e.g. "Lovable Goof," "Captain Wacky," "Jerkass Homer," "Adventure Dad") is an important consideration here...
