Benchamania!

Okay, let's say that a total of 130 pounds between the two dumbbells
qualifies as "amania" worthy. Come on. HUMOR ME!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=puYYD-GSrwc

And there's strength to be found in ~*The YouTube(tm)*~

I can always squeeze out a few extra reps if I know I'm performing for
millions of Internet fans.

Uh, that's a euphemism for "one very bored person in MFW and two of my
relatives who weren't quick enough to avoid the computer while I was
within arm's reach of the mouse."

Well done Curt. And now that you are back I can sleep easy and tell them
to remove your pic from milk cartons saying "have you seen this person?"

I gots to try that.

Does 130 lb sound any more impressive if you express it as a fraction of
your body weight?

How about if you use dry mass instead of body weight?

Yeah, I'm a stud.

D'OH!

Seriously, thank you!

I like milk.

I wish my pic would be on a carton of milk. I think milk gets a bad
rap in that regard. Little kids, many lactose intolerant already, see
a box of milk and run the other way, fearing that they'll somehow get
sucked into a black hole of lost souls by their very proximity to the
(possibly perceived as) Satanic Dairy Product.

Uh...

Did you lift today?

heh

Not sure how... cool it is, but

(snaps suspenders)

I have subscribers! Okay, it has nothing to do with me, but many
people enjoy the vids of the contests I've attended. Really enjoy
snapping video of the events. A competitor contacted me, actually. She
competed in her first event and found my vid of her posing routine by
searching YouTube. And that IS cool.

You're terrible, Om. What, you think it's HUMOROUS that I might be
found missing???

Wait, that's confusing. Can't be found and also be missing. Er, can
you? Never mind that now!

YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY THAT I MIGHT APPEAR ON A HEY-THIS-GUY-HAS-
VANISHED MILK CARTON????

Man, and I thought I knew you.

Cruel, cruel Om.

(steams)

I'll just bet your in league with JWM, plotting some nefarious, uh,
plot. Wait. Okay, plot. But there should be another word there. Dang.

See, you're making me nervous and I can't even ramble coherently, Om!

It's sad to ramble incoherently.

Sad.

Well, have your fun. I hope you're happy.

Give it a shot. If you prefer anonymity, you could wear a mask. Rey
Mysterio is very popular. Or you could get a movie magazine and make a
mask of your favorite celebrity. :| What?

Hmmm. That would require a calculation of some sort, wouldn't it? My
brother's a math teacher. As an art teacher, I typically deal solely
in questions of red, yellow, and blue.

(picks up pen and paper)

That's about 70% of my bodyweight. Fraction? Dang. Don't tell me. Uh,
seven-tenths? >

> How about if you use dry mass instead of body weight?

Would that require dehydration? Because it's summer here, Anderson and
that doesn't sound so healthy.

"A term of measurement used to measure biomass, as opposed to fresh
mass. Dry Mass is a more reliable indicator of biomass due to the fact
that fresh mass measurements are dependant on fluctuating water
concentrations in the biological material measured."

Hmmm. Dunno, Tom. Sounds painful. And daaaangerous. Think I'll stick
to the fresh mass for now.

Great. Here comes Roger Bacon to tell me all about MORE doors that are
