Fattest Twins. The McGuire Twins. Motorcycles. Fatties.

Who didn't love the McGuire Twins?

You know, the fattest twins that were always featured in the Guinness Book of World Records. I used to get that book specifically to see the fattest people, the dude with the longest fingernails and all of the other human oddities.

I wonder if there are any really fat twins today and the one twin is trying to convince the other one to gain 120 pounds so they can capture the title of fattest twins?

If you happen to know them, please have them contact me as I will feature them on TBY.

So who were YOUR favorite fatties?

Breaking News: Tallest Woman Will Take Interesting Questions To Grave

August 13, 2008

It's official Sandy Allen, the 7'7" Indiana giant is dead. What makes this especially difficult for me is that Sandy visited the Downingtown Farmer's Market around 1975 and I didn't get to meet her. Why? Because my parents sheltered me from the Downingtown Farmers Market until I was a teenager. My friend Craig however, whose parents probably didn't love him as much, let him go to gawk at Sandy Allen.

Can you just imagine how my life and probably the nation's future would have been different if I was able to view this special gentle giant lady in person ? - at a safe distance from her cage mind ye'.

I've imagined the day in my head many times. Instead of asking the stupid, "How's the weather up there?", I would asked unique questions like:

- "Did you ever meet the fattest twins? Do they have to put more air in their mini bike tires like every five minutes?"

- "Did you ever swat down a plane?"

- "Can you put your hands up like this?..Yup, that's what I thought."

- "Do you get a discount on each new addition of the Guinness Book of World Records? And can you believe that guy with the curly fingernails? "

- "Did Andre' the Giant ever send you flowers, but instead of flowers, he sent a bouquet of trees?"

The world will never know these answers. Good bye Sandy.
