            I’m just waiting for Tully to get back on here freaking out again…he’s hilarious when he’s all fired up.

            Honestly, the guy I’m most worried about is Darren….he’s angry….and he’s quiet…..

              Dave…you KNOW I have to end it with a “name drop”….that’s my M.O.!!!!!

              I am working hard on a venue. It seems that most place anymore won’t let you do this kind of stuff without your own event insurance which is crazy $$$. I will find a place, it’s just getting one that will be a good one!

                …well…for starters….My logo was from an INTERNATIONALLY recognized business….but only a small issue…..I like taking on “the man” and his “establishment”.

                Second, I changed the stone he was lifting to an anvil. Steve Jeck is the guy it’s based on and I sent him one….he thought it was pretty funny. I got Jeck hooked up with Al Fueurbach and for that he’s now my pal.

                  Tully, you are funny…..it works better if you have an 8X10 you can hang on the wall you are punching (where should I send it) haha

                  ….and what you do is, you just slightly change one tiny thing and you get around the whole “copyright” thing….it’s a cinch!

                  ….and TRUTHFULLY, I like your logo.

                    GEEZ….you guys are so touchy! And that goes way back! Can’t a guy have a little fun without somebody getting their singlet in a bunch! Tully, I’m gonna have to look that move up before I get scared. Besides, I figure if I make you guys mad enough you’ll all show up! And you guys don’t have to put a choke hold on a guy to put him to sleep…just talk to him awhile, that will do the trick.

                    Tully, you do know I’m having some fun…cause I know you guys creamed us in the straight weight….a contest where we had every advantage! Take it easy……and show up in June and beat us again! I expect the Dino Gym to be here in force!!!!

                      Well, you and Chad didn’t show up for the Kirksville games were I had Sean Betz, Dan McKim, and Chad Gustin lined up on my team and then you, Chad, and tully no showed…probably heard the set up and figured you better be convienently “out of the country”. And as info, those guys have been throwing with me for YEARS! Sean even bent my best bar during our last session doing a clean grip power snatch. I had been trying to bend that thing for years!

                        ….that was a misunderstanding and Randy has dropped his lawsuit against me for 1.5million$ after he found out I’m worth nothing……besides, I like my version better…..

                        ….and we won’t go into the new DINO Gym logo that Tully has on the Dino Gym gear…a triceratops…..isn’t that the animal that the T-Rex would eat? But I guess Tully is a vegan, isn’t he?

                        This will be a great rivalry for the team title. Do I need to work up a new legal contract?!?!?

                          What? Everybody knows the JWC is world wide. We have a Chapter in Chicago, St. Louis, and in Grand Junction, CO and will soon have a Chapter in Orlando, Florida. I have to admit, your getting John to train at your gym weekly for the past couple of years was a very well thought out and planned ploy to defeat the JWC. I’m really honored you’d go to all that trouble to bring in a RINGER just to beat me.

                            Of course, all these guys have already committed to the JWC as their club affiliation…..hahahaha

                              It was 8 pages, Al….and it was full of sets, reps, and excruciating details. Only 4 pages of it was motivational speeches…..HAHAHAHAHA

                                  …..Well, if you have seen Rocky IV you will recognize that I stole that speech from the movie when Appolo Creed’s old trainer was talking to Rocky about training for the big fight. I just changed a few things to make it more relevant. He’s an old, bald guy, like me. So I delivered the speech like he did in the movie.

                                  But when I have to….being a Marine….I can channel my inner drill instructor…..hahahaha
