According to Buck Dink Elmore's friends, family, co-workers, The House of Crabs Restaurant coffee-drinkers, casual acquaintances, people at stoplights, salesmen at the door as well as a growing number of other local customers, waiters and waitresses, the formerly obese used car salesman takes every opportunity to show just how dramatic his recent weight loss has been by smiling broadly and holding his old 52-inch-waist jeans next to his fit and trim, (though ugly extra skin flaps hanging out from under his shirt) new body.
"He likes to get inside his old pants and turn to the side," Buck Dink's mechanic, Greg "Too Tall" Jenkins, told the local newspaper Tuesday, describing Buck Dink's effort to clearly illustrate how much space now exists between the front of his old pants and his stomach. "At least that's what he did when he brought his own car into the shop, when he saw my wife and kids at the IGA supermarket the other day, and when he stood up in the middle of the varsity football game halftime band march last weekend."
Purchasers of "Buck Dink's Previously Owned Cars & Body" said they were each given two free photos of Before & After Buck Dinks.
"He has recently began walking around town and offering to go climb into his new pants from Garyson Clothing Store and stand beside the giant cardboard cutout of his old 395-pound self", stated his former best friend, Jaybird Tarrence. "He keeps it folded up and carries it around with him everywhere he goes so former customers, family members of former customers and what he calls "Tourists" can have their photo taken with him.
Most citizens of Razer Ridge applaud Buck Dink's effort but the consensus is that they actually preferred him fat and less talkative.
