    Am I the only one feeling the old Sir Mix-a-lot joke coming on?

    I said to Mikel, " I’ll never get over you. I’ll have to go round instead".

    If I were her I wouldn’t be smiling like that, that much fat will kill her long before her time.

    Any old stray cat shows up you can start calling her your long lost cat Holly. I’m hoping a lady may do that for me some day. I miss my wife.

    That tank didn’t do the Tsar any good!

    I find the other comments to be insensitive and annoying. Mikel is a person with feelings.

    It’s no wonder the Tsar tank is not being used today. That’s a big target. It could be easily incompacitated.

    I saw Mikel at Wal-mart the other day. She was testing one of those electric scooters.

    Bobzilla, you let your prejudice show. She makes her living as a plus sized model.

    I googled Mikel…there are numerous videos…she seems like a happy person, and very nice…She works out, is very active, and has a husband and four kids.

    She was checked out by a doctor, and is trying to make some changes..but it’s not as easy as some of you think.We all have a genetic disposition to be a certain size…Obviously some people inherit larger appetites than others, too, making it more difficult.

    Ever had a hard time losing 10 pounds…try losing 250.

    While I agree that her weight is unhealthy…the fact that YOU (whoever) don’t like to look at it doesn’t give you the right to be nasty.

    Your size doesn’t make you superior…how many of you look like Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt?

    I’ll take a fat friend or lover over a cruel one any day.

    Isn’t that the tank that got stuck going uphill on its trial run, and couldn’t be backed up?
