COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- "Herman The Stomach" basked in its glory after Thanksgiving dinner with all the traditional fixings, as seen by the adjacent picture of Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi's ever-expanding stomach as he napped on a couch on Thursday evening.

"Dude, you have got a monster growing under your shirt." joked Jayson Graves (see photo below), a local psychotherapist and friend who hosted Thanksgiving dinner with his wife, Susan.

The downright awful-looking photo, displaying Steve's protruding stomach and dirty-looking jeans, comes just two weeks after many were appalled with Steve's decision to wear a ripped up sweatshirt with a nasty-looking stain on the sleeve and black biking tights during a hike with a girl he recently met on eHarmony.

"I expect 'Herman' to be more visible with more holidays coming, so I would expect more Herman sightings in the near future." said Kansas Kelly Martin, "You're giving Santa a run for his money!"

"Look, I realize (my stomach) is big, but I'm going to doing something about it by exercising." explained Steve.

After having time to reflect later in the evening, Steve also said, "I feel like a fat piece of crap."

As a consolation, Steve was not the only holiday participant caught with a "belly wad" while laying down after Thanksgiving dinner. Jayson's stepfather (adjacent photo) showed off a sizable "spare tire" and Susan displayed signs of a pronounced stomach line.

Photos From 2003 Thanksgiving That I Never Showed Off

Just a few photos from 2003 that I never got around to publishing on the web site. I had dinner over Donna's house and got a shot of Ex-Mayor Bud Ford at the City Hall dinner, which he runs. Thank you for all your hard work to our community, Bud! :)
