When I was a student and I'd taxi left or right of the center line my instructor would say; "You think those line are for airline pilots?".

Yes, Roger, I guess those lines are for airline pilots.

At KFAT I saw a PSA 727 do the same right in front of the tower. The right main sank so far in the mud the nose wheel came off the ground. Sat like that for three days.

Mercedes is cracking me up!
The current type I’m on is a challenge with taxi. The nose wheel sits 21 feet behind the pilot seat and looking forward there is about a 55 foot blind spot. The left seater often has to take the nose over the grass to keep the nose wheel on the taxi line.
 
We have a taxi video that has all the stats on it. I’m sure someone here will appreciate those numbers. And it’s a good refresher for someone who will be taxing it soon. (Not me)
Fancy. We use high tech references in the cockpit like the wingtip is about where that screw is on the window frame.
