JONESIN' FOR A CARDIAC EPISODE: While Hootie and his cast of porn shoot extras are busy on the Tender Bacon Cheddar Crisp Ranch, the King himself has been busy creating bigger and bigger belly busters for the discerning palates that make up Burger King Nation.

The latest abomination from the King, is the Ultimate Double Whopper, which consists of two patties, four slices of cheese and eight strips of bacon. The Impulsive Buy tackles the UDW today and actually comes away impressed, giving it four stars out of five.

The really big news about the UDW is according the my math its the new winner in the fast food sweepstakes of stuffing the most calories in a bun. According to this list of fast food sandwiches sorted by calories, Hardee's 2/3 LB Bacon Cheese Thickburger comes in at a mere 1,340 calories, while a normal double Whopper at BK is 1,060 calories. However, factor in the two extra slices of cheese (180 calories) and the eight slices of bacon (320 calories) and you've got 1,560 calories and 101 grams of fat.

And while were on the subject of stuffing our bellies, the folks over at ESPN's Page 2 have come up with the list of Baseball's All-Time, All-Fat Team, which features Babe Ruth, Terry "Fat Tub of Goo" Forster, and a trio of Tigers scale-tippers, Cecil Fielder, Mickey Lolich and Gates Brown.
