Not a bachelor and not sure of his nationality, but he definitely was a character. Like Junior, he was almost always smiling and usually pretty entertaining.

Ray was a "close talker." But because of the size of his gut, he pretty much wanted to be pressing that gut against you when he spoke. My dad would keep backing away and Ray would keep moving that belly forward, chasing after him!

Ugh, this brought something I haven't thought of in a long time: in 9th grade we were standing in line to get into the shower after a PE class. So naked, waiting to get into the shower in shifts (determined by number of shower heads). There was one guy who was excessively hairy and excessively fat, big belly, big big belly. He was behind me when he closed up the line and doing so, pressed his belly against my, ah, back. It was like I was hit by a cattle prod. I used a lot of soap that day. He didn't look like Junior Samples, he looked like Chris Christie.

EEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww !!!!

I don't like the word HOBBY to describe this....this thing that happens on the SRP. I'm not sure of a word to replace it...
Hobbies are small.
Model trains are a hobby, any modeling is a hobby, planes, ships in bottles,etc. If someone collects and smokes pipes it is not a hobby. If someone collects miniature pipes (is there such a thing?) it is a hobby.
Hobbies are small.

I think that depends bill, if you actively seek out things to collect and or restore then it is a hobby. If you buy one or two razors and just use them then it isn't a hobby, soaps could however be a hobby though if you buy lots to try.

If you actively seek out small things, it is a hobby. HOBBY (hobby even sounds small, doesn't it Ed)? I put forth, with prejudice, that a collector collects and restoration is a craft. I mean, I won't stake my life on it or anything...

did anyone ever get a charley horse in their throat?

Could also be considered a art, when it comes to restoring

The definition of hobby supports the Father of OTA but I am not talking about the definition, just the flavor.

OK, one final note which I will put forth with extreme prejudice and will tie in all of my previous posts: Which is bigger a hobby horse or a horse?
