He did?! I must have missed that one but I don't doubt it. lol lol

Oh wait, I found the story:
"When a 21-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger first came to America in 1968, he witnessed 54-year-old Jack LaLanne down on Venice Beach in California doing thousands of push-ups and chin-ups. A challenge was declared — and Arnold, the youngest Mr. Universe at the time, went on to lose. Badly.

"I beat him in chin-ups and push-ups," LaLanne says. "He said, 'That Jack LaLanne's an animal! I was sore for four days. I couldn't lift my arms!' "

I remember watching his show in the morning as a kid, he and his wife always had so much energy. His feats of strength were legendary. Unfortunately, today he is remembered by the masses as just a juice machine hawker, but he was so much more way before today's lame by comparison crop.
:D

My wife and my mother have one.
Both still have theirs in the box. [huh]
Then again, the local Goodwill might end up finding 1 of those on their door step. :)

Fast N' Loud. The episode where they take a couple of cars to an auction and they end up losing money.

Uhh, you'll have to be a little more specific. ;) I enjoy watching Fast N' Loud, but I wouldn't take Richard Rawlings at face value if he told me water was wet.

I'm currently watching America's Secret Slang on H2 (The History Channel's version 2.0), a multi-episode "documentary-style" show in which they examine the history of common American English words and sayings (for anyone who is unfamiliar with the show). I've always had a mild fascination with the etymology of language, so I find the show interesting.
