Back then, that would've been something. Today, he'd probably fit in with about 15% of our population.

Probably more than 15%, but who's counting. That would be a great card to add to any collection!!

I think Cobb looks great in drag!! I'd do that in a New York Minute!

Wow, I thought for a second that was Scott Elkins but I just checked and he's actually still incarcerated -- now in Butner, NC -- pending a psychological evaluation and federal sentencing for various firearm charges.

Default It takes a lot to piss me off......

I am totally offended by this photo and any mention to obesity. It's a disease and not something to be mocked and ridiculed. There is no room in my world for any one mocking people with disabilities, mocking ones weight or height as well as judging by the color of one's skin or their ethnic background.

I am going to step back and away from this site. I won't be back anytime soon and I really need to just walk away from this because I am so upset that I may never be back again.

I will not be around any bullying or mockery of any kind. It's not me, it's not my family and its not something i can tolerate. It is simply wrong.

In closing, I do not tolerate this type of behavior on any level.

Way to go new guy! I'm a big guy myself, and even though I may let stuff like this roll off my back, I feel for Bill. There's no need for this mess.

I really didn't mean to insult anyone at all! I apologize to Bill and anyone else I may have offended. In the future I'll try and think before I post!

Please dont walk away man. You are a bright, positive star on this site and the place would be a lot worse off without you.

Wow Bill. That seems like a pretty sensitive response. It was a thread with six posts in it....it's not like Net54 as a whole decided that we hate fat people. In fact, I don't think the thread starter meant anything by it either. At least not in the way you took it. Yesterday we were the greatest group of guys in the world, remember.

By the way, my wife screwed up the enchilada sauce tonight so dinner kinda sucked. I'm not giving up on Mexican food.

I really didn't mean anything bad. I love all Ty Cobb's and just thought it was an amusing picture. Anyway the mods can trash this thread??

Honestly, everyone loves Bill and roots for him, but I don't think this should thread should be trashed.. Thought it was amusing, and it didn't mean no harm to anyone.

And please don't leave Bill...
