Okay, this morning I asked the 404-pound guy who shovels grain at the local grain elevator.
He's 56 years old, and wears shoe size 12 EEE.
He works 12 hours a day five days a week, and 6 hours a day on Saturdays.
He's been doing the same work for 30+ years.
In answer to the obvious question, yes, he makes good money, over $70,000 a year.
He thinks Bo is a joke, and won't be around after January 20, 2013.
He says his old man, now late, was "big" too.
I described the gigantic primitive to him.
He speculates the gigantic primitive's going to have lots and lots of problems, because the gigantic primitive only ever worked in soft jobs, sitting at tables in casinos dealing cards. "There's a difference between soft flabby fat, and muscular fat that's built up over decades of hard work."
He doesn't think the world-famous Oshkosh overalls would work for the gigantic primitive, because while Oshkosh makes overalls for really fat people, they're for really fat people whose fat doesn't droop and sag. Something--I didn't grasp it all--about how the gigantic primitive would end up cutting off blood circulation to that body part that makes the gigantic primitive a male, if he wore overalls.
"He'd be singing soprano in no time."
Like franksolich, he wishes the gigantic primitive well, but is not hopeful, given his "blame everybody but myself" attitude.
For whatever that's worth.
