The Ronnie Coleman Classic? Isn't that the Mr. Olympia!

bigtmoney · « **Reply #2 on:** April 28, 2006, 09:15:39 AM »

I plan on going.

Yep, I'll be there. I know Lee is planning on going (as of this post) as well.

Should be lots of fun. Looking forward to eating at "Main Street BBQ" in Euless.

Good ole chicken!

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.

hmmmm that would be cool to go to, just to see Ronald and the strongman contest. it is a 5 hour drive though and gas is like $3 a gallon....

" 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?

Jodi · « **Reply #14 on:** April 28, 2006, 04:48:43 PM »

Since I live in the area, I plan on attending the show.

Shawn Ray · « **Reply #15 on:** April 28, 2006, 05:59:25 PM »

Ronnie wont even be there.

He is in Georgia at Ropeman's Contest in Atlanta.

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.

JOHN MATRIX · « **Reply #22 on:** April 28, 2006, 11:23:22 PM »

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
