[ManBearPig...]

ha ha, there are some height challenged people in that lineup!

When you're of average height walking around the expo and feel tall, you might get a feeling it's a short man's sport. 

I'm thinking of going to the Arnold...depends if I decide to take a bunch of math courses next semester or not.

Well, a picture with the 12 of them on stage with Arnold himself and Jim Lorimer would be one of the most memorable pictures of the year!

[Bluto]

Representatives of TEAM NASSER will be there.

Yeah, I heard Lorimer has finally mastered GH/slin and is HUUUGGEEE

[Pollux]

Yes, but no picture will beat the one when all the Olympia winners from Larry Scott to Dorian Yates appeared on stage at the '95 Masters Olympia.

the justice system is only too happy to work in with bbing shows. they're all big fans of the bbing lifestyle.

1 - Rich Gaspari (1989)

I saw Gaspari this weekend at the Coloso Expo in Mexico City, promoting his supplements.  Gustavo Badell was there too signing autographs.   Gustavo didn't look too well, sucking oxygen from a mask.  It is 7000 feet, but still.  At the beginning he would breath through the mask now and then.  But after an hour, he had it on full time and still seemed in distress.   All for 50 pesos (about $4.50) per autographed photo.

Big deal.  It's not like he's climbing in the Andes... 20 million people live there, and they don't seem to have any trouble breathing.  It you have problems at only 7k ft, you're in extremely shitty shape.  These guys are the epitome of "unhealthy".
