My neck has looked like this since I turned 50!

Question: I believe Melvin Burkhart would perform the "Human Blockhead" routine, tapping a spike up his nose. Not dinner table entertainment but very interesting. Is he a relation to Ed? Any more residents of Gibtown in the photo file?

No idea but they did have a guy with rings in his nipples with which he could lift an anvil, totally unaware that 50 years he would be a fashion plate.

OUCH. Mine are down to my waist already. This would not be a good thing.
