WTG Grunherz!

I hope this doesn't improve your fighting skills in AH, I've been shot down by you too many times already (although, not in a while... but a year or two ago).

Good for you, Grunherz! You could fit into that T-34 Mentor now.

Thanks, but i really want to fit into one of these:

Thanks for the encouraging words guys, support from familiy nad friends had been very importnat for my success.

Do a lot of jumping.. seriously. Try to touch things up high. Jumping rope is excellent. Also get two fairly heavy dumbells (now there's a straight line) and hold one in each hand. Place one foot in front of the other and then jump and alternate your feet. Land on your toes.

A normal person in decent shape should have about an 18" vertical leap. At 6" the average guy needs at least a 24" vert to touch the rim. If you can palm the ball you can eek out a couple extra inches.

Now get one of those adjustable rims and put it at whatever height you can barely dunk. Then do it a lot. Why? cause it's fun. Then when that gets easy raise it up. Use a volleyball if you have small hands. I want pictures of your first dunk.

Hows your diet going, SOB

Not too good unfortunately. The Smokin' Swine, my local smokehouse, lost its lease and is currently in limbo. Until they find a new home, I'm not sure what I'm going to do for my daily allotment of pork fat. If this keeps up, I could find myself in the same predicament as Grun.

Dang - you look fine.

I need a date... you interested?

Seriously, kudos Grun.

Nash,

Long time no see. We've missed you.

I've pretty much reconciled myself to the fact that I'm too Librahl, too 'who gives a @#$ about guns', and too sick of right-wing talking points...

Yeah, I know...

Boo hoo... and throw me a Kleenex.

Still... I'm over it.

That doesn't mean I can't give the odd high-five to guys like Grun who accomplish something meaningfull.

Congrats Grun, someday you'll be half the man you used to be!

NUKE · « **Reply #58 on:** January 12, 2006, 10:27:22 PM »

Holy crap Grun, that's just awesome!

I suspected that you had these feelings soon after I defended you in a post, and you dissapeared......because I'm super smart.

You are too smart and interesting to give up on this place, seriously.
