Ironically, Joe Gold was a cock-smoking homo.

FACT.

Good to see that you got your interest up, but how is that ironic?

Do anyone of you know Ed Connors?

He was the original owner of Golds and bodybuildings original schmoe.

A friend of mine went to train at Golds in the late 90:ies. He was in his late teens at the time. Looked like a barbarian brother with long hair but just abit smaller because of the agefactor. Ed Connors approached him in the gym and told him he could live at his place and train for free if he walked around in his underwear all day long. He accpted and stayed there for some time.

Anyone got more stories of Ed Connors?

Right off the bat you didn't even relay that Joe GOLD was the original of GOLDS gym. That being said, that discredited you. Try again.

Because the guy who is being called a schmoe and founder of Gold's Gym was neither a schmoe, nor the founder of said gym, whereas the actual founder of the business did indeed love smelly man ass.

The best definition of irony is simply stated as "when the actual meaning is the direct opposite of the literal meaning."

But there are other definitions as well.

My post best describes this definition:

"An incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result; an event or result marked by such incongruity."

I might have gotten it wrong. But dude was still a big figure at golds around 80-90:ies. Also joe gold sold the francaise and later started world gym. Maybe connors arrived and took over around this time? He sure was more than a schmoe training there.

Ed Connors was a good guy, plenty of rumours about the two way mirrors at his house where bodybuilders used to stay, but from all accounts he kept his hands to himself and was just happy to be around the guys. Was always a super nice guy back at golds, plenty of guys stayed with him to get their start, Lee Priest was one of note when I was training there in the 90s,

From whatever i was heard he was a closet wanking dude that got of of big guys walking around in their undies. I guess thats not really that bad. Still he actually made it for alot of guys to come out to california. Kinda wish those days were around in a bit

Now it's way more dirty...

Joe Gold was the original owner of Golds.

This. Hence the name Golds Gym.

Homo.

Not saying he wasn't a pleasant fellow, but he was a homo all the same.

No need to make unwanted advances most likely. Being miles away from girlfriends, just wait for the occasional house guest to request service (maybe rare but often enough).
