OK OK.. I do not want to make any bodybuilders mad. Please to not kick sand in my face.
I just saw a photo story on CNN and it says that bodybuilding is the fastest growing sport in Afghanistan. It was even permitted under the Taliban regime!
I have always felt like bodybuilding is a bit gay. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)
See why I said I did not want to piss off any bodybuilders?
When I was a kid I was skinny. Well not just as a kid. When I had to go and take my Selective Service physical I was about 5 foot 11 inches and my weight was 115 pounds. There were 200 of us there for the physical and we all had to get nude and stand around for the entire exam. The SS doctor came over and asked me if I had been sick. Because I was skin and bone. You could see all of my bones. I looked like someone from a WWII Nazi concentration camp.
They sent me a 1-A card by error. I went right down to join the Army but they called the SS center and the center saw their error and sent me a new card and it was 1-Y. Later the SS made all 1-Y cards 4-F.
But when I was younger I tried everything to gain weight. Well that is not true. I did send for the Charles Atlas books. But I did not stand around posing or go into bodybuilding.
I was skinny because my mother did not cook. She was to busy drinking and talking on the telephone to family members drunk.
My father was a union man and made good money all his life and my mother worked all her life. So we were not poor.
I was just lazy and stupid. I lived on Swanson TV dinners and Coke. It took 30 minutes to cook a TV turkey dinner. That was before the invention of the microwave.
