Well, that turned out better than we could have imagined. #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat not only made the trending topics list but it angered a lot of fat people (not this one) and Canucks fans.
Thanks to everyone that helped out and go read all of the hilarious jokes that have spread far beyond the Barilkosphere. Feel free to share your favourite tweets here!

You know the best part about this whole thing. Whenever someone tells a Wellwood is fat joke it reminds me of the scene in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels where Soap tells Tom hes not funny but fat, and looks although he should be but not…
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...

#KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that when his Halloween candy bag floated away in the wind, CNN covered it for three hours.

Dammit
I thought we weren’t doing this until TOMORROW:
I propose we preemptively strike the Vancouverites by flooding Twitter with jokes about full season single digit assist-getting playmaking centre Kyle Wellwood’s weight. It’s a pretty familiar topic to Leaf fans, and if enough of us roll with it to make #KyleWellwoodIsSoFat a trending topic at some point on Saturday,
(from the post at Leafs Rumination)
I gotta start coming to the meetings. I was very excited about this.

Great idea though.

Thanks! You and Chemmy were huge (maybe even Wellwood-sized) in getting the ball rolling this morning, and it’s appreciated.
My original plan was for Saturday, but I had no idea it would get as big as it did. I wanted to concentrate the blast, but it looks like that won’t be necessary. I’m ecstatic over how well this has gone, and I hope we can keep the ball rolling right up to the puck drop.

For OdinMercer:
#KyleWellwoodIsSoFat that if attendance were based on total weight of fans Phoenix would only need him to show up to be in good shape.

#KyleWellwoodIsSoFat he has fryer oil in his water bottle
There is no "I" in team, but there is an "M" and an "E"
Routine after Wellwood scores a goal:
VIGNEAULT: Good job, Kyle! As promised, here you go.
pulls sausage links out of his pocket
WELLWOOD: Yay……..eats sausages in one bite
VIGNEAULT: And you see this? pulls a piece of chocolate cake out of his pocket
WELLWOOD: drools, approaches for bite
VIGNEAULT: Ah ah AH….pulls cake away…….get a hat trick first. Then we’ll talk.

If that Worked
Gretzky’s record for goals in 1 season would be taken down by the end of 1 game.

Summary: This whole thing was fun when it was just the Barilkosphere, got better when it grew, reached epic status when it trended, got unbearably bad when people who had no idea who Wellwood was started making terrible jokes, and has now become fun again thanks to the predictable wave of overly sensitive Canucks fan.
Down Goes Brown - Unapologetically nostalgic for the past. Brutally realistic about the present. Grudgingly optimistic about the future.

Which Kyle Wellwood promptly licks out, of course.

sorry, but that won’t work too well for 2 reasons:
1. he’s too new to the canucks team still.
2. he might not even be playing.
