    This is true. I wouldn’t have guessed that of George…whatever floats your boat I guess.

    I wonder if George liked staring at Goats too? Not George as in Clooney of course, we already know he did.

    He looks like my uncle who hasn’t lifted anything heavier then his TV remote in a long time. Is stocky a synonym of obese now?

    Really? If true, then I have to reiterate - that’s sad.

    For purposes of this thread, it's enough when there's no historical evidence that they lifted.

    No, stocky refers to guys who look chunky at first glance but have powerful muscle. I've met several handymen, construction guys, mechanics, and wrestlers/power lifters who have that kind of build. They were all strong as hell.
