Oooh, that's big. I have seen that size in an advertisement, but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone with an Ace that big.
If that's what it is, it's a keeper.
Hey, a #2 cork would be a keeper no matter if it's an Ace or not, but if it's an Ace then that makes me very happy.
About the glob ... yeah, I guess it just happened. I don't see it a lot, but it's not shocking.
