Did you ever notice how every pro in every little locale tends to light a fire in enough people to create a little "scene" all it's own?  It only takes 2 pros and a good amateur to make a "mini-mecca" or "hotbed."  Proof that bodybuilding is viral, pretty much like everything else.  The "scene" is usually as big as the best bodybuilder from there.  Alot of the time it isn't even really the "pro" that ignites such, it's the guy that fires up the pros.  Joe Weider made pros out of everyone he identified as having potential and then tried to motivate back in the 60's and 70's, then Ed Connors and John Brown did the same thing throughout the 80's and 90's.  I'm sure everything started with Katz in Connecticut.

Would your real life friends let you get high and make an ass out of yourself? We are just looking out for you MJ, not sure why you think other guys are interested in seeing you in a bikini, but when you sober up you will thank us for trying to stop you, that I know. Everyone is PMing each other laughing at how far you are taking this meltdown and having a good time at your expense, but since you are obviously high out of your mind I thought I would try and help you. Your welcome :)
