8" wrists??? Geez, I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs., and my wrists are only 7 1/4".

Actually, I said8"+ wrists”...
If I were to meet you at O'Hare and you asked for a Description, I'd say, "Look for the fellow who could be John Candy's Brother", and you'd have no problem picking me out of a crowd. Even a crowd of Chicagoeans...

Did you use to be a bouncer on some bar on North Halsted Street Chuck??

Let's just say, I've walked on Lower Wacker Drive and no one bothered me at all!

Them is some BIG ham hocks for sure!!

It would be easier if my wrists were smaller, I know...

P.S. Thanks for taking care of the forum for us. It's really appreciated!!

Well, we want to make sure the forum has what it needs to survive and thrive. I think we'll do OK and probably notably better than OK!
