Too small.

Shit, Sas, you are 9 feet tall and weigh 700 pounds (that's 2.74320 meters and 317.460317 kilograms to you), so pretty much everydamnthing is "too small".

I met a guy who said you used to wear an IBM Selectric typewriter on a length of log chain around your neck as "fashion accessory" back in your hippie days.

Anyhow, regardless of size, that Monarch sure is purty.

How much is shipping?

[WCannoy]

This belongs in a museum... of art

Beautiful! Wonder how much was spent to get it like this, though..

[pipeguy]

Probably 2500 - 3000$ he would have a hard time making that back in New England
