Man, if we keep doing this, we are going to start looking like giraffes!

So I had to googled greater trochanter.

I shouldn't have said "widest point of hips"...my glutes make my "largest circumference" and the bottom of my fell lies a few inches above that point.

Now that I know my GT from a hole in the ground, my fingertips are 11" below my GT!!!!

Not a one-upper, I just have freakishly long hands. XL gloves rarely fit!

Well, my hands are smaller, XL works. Size 8.5 or 9 surgeon's glove works too. A little tight at 8.5, a comfortable 9.

Man- That's CRAZY! Pretty cool, though. The reason I wear longish sleeves, as I've mentioned before, is more from the width of my shoulders than the actual length of my arms.

Said arms hang down to a pretty normal place on my body, but they hang very far away from that body!

It was more of a "Woah is me" sort of a deal.

If I wanted to brag, I would have shown a picture of my new sgian dubh.

I won't steal your thunder (yet) but that blade's little brother is coming to a certain music educator in the next few weeks.

It's awfully pretty, ain't it?

Are you riding my coattails again, David?

We're gonna' be the best dressed men in town!

EDIT: And I'll tell you this: Shawn knows his grind, and he knows his heat-treat... those are difficult and impossible to show in photos, but believe me- they are there, and they are excelent.
