    Reminds me of the fat Captain actor accompanying Ernest Borgnine in "The Dirty Dozen"...navigating for him poorly.

    Fecal impaction.

    Knew of a geezer like that locally: stank to high heaven from all the putrefaction. Gut like a drum; last time I saw him he was hobbling about on crutches and probably dead by now.

    Had a college roommate whose nickname was Slim - he looked like this guy - 10 steps out of the shower and he would start sweating - his classmates would throw bars of soap at him

    Would a regular M1936 pistol belt be able to be adjusted enough to fit this guy? Or would he had to have had one special made? I have several pistol belts and I don't think I could adjust it anywhere near the size to fit that guy.
