Dunno about the 240 jersey- saving that for the Florida PDI show. I'm pretty cool with Brian Dobson actually. I don't know Ron, but I imagine there will be a crowd around him, everything he does.

" I'm pretty cool with Brian Dobson actually." Is that a fact now?

I plan on going, I'm about 15 minutes away from that Hilton. I don't think there's anything else (IFBB) in the area right now. There's always a couple local shows this time of year but I think they're pretty small.

Hey Chubby, does your obsession with 240 extend to the real world as well or is it just an internet thing?

I bet you dream about him, I bet you think you see him in store.

Is it his face you see while you're looking in the mirror applying eyeliner?

Houston sucks a big fat one! Anybody will tell you the Dallas area is much nicer and has the hottest chicks in the state.

i agree... houston is the armpit of texas. the weather is horrible. u sweat like a pig standing outside for 5min since its so damn humid. also, all the construction makes the city look very ugly. i like the people there but the city is a shit hole.

I was in Houston when they were building the underground tramway. It wasn't open yet. If I remember right Houston Airport has a rotating restaurant that if you sit and eat in one place you can get up while it is rotating go to the bathroom and end up on the other side of the restaurant and walk away. I think that is how it worked. It was 25+ years ago

Dallas pisses all over Houston. I don't know why anyone would want to live in that sweltering, pestilential swamp.

Title: Re: Any of you Texans going to the Ronnie Coleman Classic?
Post by: anvil on April 29, 2006, 08:09:21 AM: I lived in East Texas for four years, about 1 1/2 hours north of houston. Lord, the summers there are the most miserable crap imaginable but there were so many cute chicks that it almost made it bearable.

Agreed, Dallas is waaaay better than Houston, what a dump.

Are you sure that was Houston, sounds more like the reunion tower, it's a big lighter ball building with the resturant on top and it circles.
I agree Houston does suck very country and yee ha, also weather sucks and traffic

Post by: dukebrown on April 30, 2006, 12:00:59 AM: Well I guess since all of you are bitching, fronting, talking shit or what ever ganster BS you wish to call it. Nobody is going?

My wife is competing in the show.
Title: Re: Any of you Texans going to the Ronnie Coleman Classic?
Post by: Jodi on April 30, 2006, 10:33:31 AM: What class and division, Duke? As I said, I plan to attend the show. I know a few competitors. I've heard Texas has a new chairperson this year, so I'm interested in seeing if and how the changing of the guard will impact the judging.
