Title: Encounters with Arnold
Post by: BIG ACH on January 10, 2013, 11:17:03 AM
STORY 1

In the late 90s (Or early 2000), when I was in high school, my best friend was training in a nice gym in the suburbs of Washington DC, he was doing some lat pull downs, and when he was done, the moment he got up and turned around, he found himself face to face with Arnold Schwarzenegger who was in town visiting.  Arnold smiles at him and goes "Hey, your pants are falling, but I guess thats the style man!"  (my buddy was wearing baggy sweat pants).... He was frozen speechless, Arnold smiled and moved on with his work out.  My friend said he still appeared pretty big and strong during his work out!

STORY 2

A few years back when he was still governor, my sister-in-law was standing line speaking to a hostess trying to get a table at a restaurant in LA, when a large man in a suit leaving the restaurant cut in front of her at the line and in a thick Austrian accent asks the hostess, "Do you have change for a 50?"  - Yep it was Arnold

STORY 3

I received a text from my father-in-law during his trip to California, as he was eating at a restaurant in Santa Barbara and all his text message said was "Your hero is eating at the table right next to mine."   - Once again, it was Arnold!

STORY 4 (The closest I've ever come to meeting Arnold)

My senior year in high school I was a member of the Student government (I was Treasurer).  We decided that we wanted Mark Shriver (Maria's brother) to be our special guest speaker at our graduation, he accepted our invitation (this was the second time he was to speak at our school), a few weeks before graduation I spoke to him, and like an asshole I asked if there was any chance Arnold would be in town and if he could convince him to attend the graduation, he said he didn't think so but will try to talk to him (lol)...  
During the graduation speech, Mark was being funny and said a few jokes, and said "I would like to say I feel very important to be speaking here today, but my pride was washed away when security did not know who I was and that I Was the graduation speaker, and as a result were hesitant to let me on the premises.  Then there was the one student who asked me a few weeks ago if my brother in law Arnold Schwarzenegger could come speak today instead of me!"  (Thats not how I said it!! lol)

Sometime later my mom told me that Mark Shriver was campaigning for election into congress and he went door to door at our neighborhood asking for votes, my mom spoke to him for a little while and said he was a really good guy.  I came to find out later that Mark Shriver actually lived in the same neighborhood as my friend from the first story and that Arnold and Maria would often stay with him whenever they were in town, which would explain why they would be training in the same gym together.


But man!!!! .....  it seems like everyone has met Arnold except me :'(

I just finished Total Recall and it's the "story book" account of his life.  Nothing bad is in the book except for the obvious which he doesn't really go into detail about.

huh?

Why read someone's book if you re not fascinated by his life, if you dont admire him in the first place? It is obvious "big ach" the rich muslim dude living in north america who inherited it all from his father  and who visited nasser el somebody actually consider dumping his fat ugly arabic wife for something "better". All evidences point to it.

My wife's from the US you dumbass

You can admire people who have done wrong in their life.... pretty much everybody has done something wrong in their life.  Just because you admire them doesn't mean you wan to go do the wrong things they have done!

One time I saw him pooping in a bathroom.

Luckily, he forgot to flush.

I ran in the stall and ate the nuts out of his poop.

NOW I WILL LIVE FOREVER. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find that very hard to believe, I'm 6 feet and I can't imagine that I'm taller than him.  Just doesn't look it on film.

From an old thread. . .

I forgot a good one. 

We were attending the 1988 Olympia at Universal Studios, and were walking into the show on the Red Carpet. There were big crowds on each side watching the festivities and we were walking a few people behind Arnold and his friends. When the crowd spotted Arnold they started yelling and the flash bulbs were going crazy.

We all started hitting front-double-biceps, most-musculars, etc...  Arnold turned and saw us and had a mighty laugh  .

Man... that was 18 (now 25) years ago.

Dude, I tell you this for a fact, ask any ten people to guess how long a piece of wood or steel is and all ten would be out by more than a few inches, even me and I take measurements in my job a hundred times a day.

I've seen Arnold hand out tropies at the AC womens bodybuilding competition and he was very witty and funny onstage.  Sadly I never got to see him up close but maybe oneday at a show I will get to meet the legend.

I've seen Arnold a few times at the Arnold Classic. One time he was speaking at the finals and seemed to have had a few drinks. Said that the show was sponsored by Hummer, paused and said not the kind of "Hummer" you are thinking about.
