Taking a pic of a fattie is like trying to catch bigfoot.

 This is how you catch the illusive fatty on film.  First you must keep your and all others mouth shut.  Then as you slowly sneak up from the rear of the fatty, you scream very loud through the last beer tab pulled in the case.  When done correctly the fatty will freeze for a few seconds like an armadillo.  This is your chance and most likely your only chance!  If ya get the exposure wrong you are just out of luck.

Yes, that is like trying to get ABTs into the house.

Good luck and good smoking.

You have to sneak up on a fatty and snap a quick pic before it's gone!
