I hear that

This is because of his secondary obligation as Governor?
So between bodybuilder, Movie star, and now Governor of California, he is just adding to his popularity... And where there is popularity, you need security

Apparently, Arnold liked the pic he took with us the best. I guess our practices paid off, LOL.

bro, get out of dream land, it ain't gonna happen.

I guess you could write him a letter, and maybe out of the 10,000 letters he gets daily he might read it.

I guess being Governor of California requires much more security same for president.

Gopro I also asked you how someone would get some sort of job for a supplement company? Thanks.

No interests on what I said about a friend I had when I was 14yrs old who's Dad was the liquid Nitrogen truck drive who the T-1000 killed at the end & they got to have dinner with Arnold for a couple of hours?

Did you know he has a serious hearing impairment. That's why his speech sounds like it does....nothing to do with his intelligence or lack thereof.

Well, I got "head hunted" by VPX and a couple of other companies. They came to me, I did not go to them. But in general, I guess you would just send your resume into any of them and see if you get a response. If you do, take it from there!

Randy · 06-15-2004, 12:43 PM

I got your back gopro....

I have just the thing... (SMITH & WESSON).
Those are my 2 body guards.

Here is my backup unit....It's all about redundancy you know

Now if you still don't feel safe I will wheel in another option...

Yep, when he was 3 years old he had a severe ear infection that did not go noticed for awhile. By the time he was treated he lost most of his hearing, I think in his good ear he is/was 85% or something, pretty much deaf.

That, plus the way his father treated him, probably left him pretty bitter.

nikegurl · 06-15-2004, 02:16 PM

Mudge is right

. Just didn't want jaim91 figuring his speech pattern has anything to do with his intelligence. I thought everyone knew about his hearing loss....but it sounded like maybe she didn't.

**Mudge** · 06-15-2004, 02:24 PM

By the way, as a child his hearing aid was a big box he had to wear around his neck. I'm sure that didn't help his popularity as a kid. He used training as his way to fight back at the world so to speak, and his father was probably only seen in Pumping Iron (according to Lou) because his dad wanted to become a star himself.

How'd you get that lucky? Did they see your physique or hear about your personal training or something?

Just sending a resume eh? The old fashioned way.

That is true. He had to learn to try & speak properly. & he was really skinny & not very good at sports. I guess all that juice changed that. & I bet nobody bothered him again.

You are right about his serious ear infection leading to some hearing loss. This is what caused his speech difficulty, that is true.

Luck had very little to do with it. Years of hard work and varied accomplishments got me this position.

Thank you for clarifying the Ferrigno thing.

P.S. Does anyone know if the new Ephedra free Hydroxycut is any good?

So this company just noticed you & wanted you to work for them?

Where is the company located? Did you have to move or do you do their work from home?

Someone from the company had been reading a few of the articles I had published in the mags and also followed my writings on the various message boards I moderate on. He told the CEO of the company about me and they flew me to Florida (which is where VPX is located) twice. Once in April 2003 to meet with me, and once in June 2003 to make me an offer. The second time they put me up in a hotel for 4 days and let me look around and enjoy myself a bit. I negotiated with them for about a month and then moved in late July 2003.
