We've got an age poll going, so how's about one for weight? I realize a BMI poll would be more informative, since height isn't calculated here, but it's all in fun, folks. :lol: 185 here.

Up close to 300. I'm 6'5", so people tell me I "carry it well." I'd like for THEM to toe about fifty of it for me!

I seem to weigh the same whether I convert it to stones or kilograms. :(

I must have a very heavy brain. :wink:

Please pass the gravy.... "285"

Another interesting thought is that when I carry my Steel in one hand and my Amp in the other the combined weight is in the neighborhood of 420 lbs. One soft spot on a stage and I'm toast! :)

It's really unfair that this isn't metric. I'm very upset.

My little 5'2" wife weighs exactly 132 lbs and I'm exactly twice her weight at 6'4" tall.....When I went in the US Army at 18 years of age I only weighed 169 lbs, I must've been really boney as I'm pretty skinny now (I think)......JH in Va.
