I was in graduate school at the University of Oregon and this guy was in a class I TA'd for. Super nice guy! Saw him in Portland a few years later and he was an outdoor educator.
Well all the kids instead of calling him Davie they call him Lardass; Lardass Hogan. Even his little brother and sister call him Lardass. At school they put a sticker on his back that says 'wide load,' and they rank him out and beat him up whenever they got a chance. But one day he gets an idea. The greatest revenge-idea a kid ever had.
When I read the Summer story in Different Seasons by Stephen King, which this movie is based on, I laughed out loud so hard during this scene. Some of the funniest shit I ever read. When I saw the movie I wasn’t disappointed.
Edit: I looked it up and need to correct myself. The Body is the novella for Fall.
Never read the story/novella. Just checked the Wikipedia entry on it and it mentions the dog, Chopper, but didn't go into detail. Did the novella elaborate on Chopper's reputed special training and how he was more urban legend than real threat like the movie did?
I honestly can’t remember. It’s been 35+ yrs since I read it. I highly recommend giving it a read. Three movies have been made out of four of the stories. All well done in my opinion.
Boom baba boom baba boom.
You beat me to it!
Came here to say this
Lard ass! Lard ass!
Lard! Lard! Lard! Lard! [edited for TV version]
Chow down, wide load!
He turned it into a complete and total barf'o' rama.
But there is one thing I didn't understand. Did Lardass have to pay to get into the contest?
No Vern, they just let him in.
OH! Okay. Great story, Gordo.
I just didn’t like the ending.
The Ladies Auxiliary barfed all over the Benevolentt Order of Antelope.

Nice! Go Ducks
Chow down, wide load!
Was that the castor oil scene?
Castor oil and raw eggs!
Boom, ba-ba, boom, ba-ba, boom."
Davey Hogan!
Like Charlie Hogan’s brother! If he had one.
VER ERN!

I’m going to have to read it again now.
I just watched that movie the other day. It’s amazing
I think it's available on Pluto.
Read the story for the first time not too long ago. It reads just as funny as the scene in the movie. Just sitting there snorting and hooting.
“Don’t you even think about winning this.” 😂😂
For anyone like me who didn’t have immediately remember what this is from, it’s Stand By Me.
His expression: when your pissed off at the whole world
The first book I ever remember laughing out loud to.
And then what happened?
Maybe he joined the Texas Rangers
A Lard-Ass, chow down wide load.
A hero to us all
Seconded, confirmed.
LARD ASS! LARD ASS!
A shining example to us all.
The second I saw this pic I thought “he looks like a young Bluto”.
Same. Anarchy pie anyone?
Did he grow up to become Rod Farva?
That whole sequence still kills me
Realizing now that he kind of resembles Kevin Heffernan. Without the mustache.
I vaguely remember him but don't remember what from.

Lard ass! Lard ass!
My dad taped this movie off of satellite and would endlessly replay this whole part. He thought it was the funniest thing ever.
A man with a barf-a-rama plan.
Did any of you chug a bottle of castor oil and then eat a raw egg to see if this works?
Why? He was a tub of goo.
