He’s good! He should get a portfolio together and start sending his samples around to ad agencies, publishers, and artist agents.
I’ll quote a couple of young ghetto black kids that saw me mixing up a protein shake after school one day.
Ignorant black kid #1: “Why do you take that? I’m all natural. I don’t need supplements.”
Ignorant black kid #2: “You know that turns to fat right? It’s just pure fat. It clogs your arteries.”

I work at Subway right now while i am in college, and one day this guy customer said to me “your biceps are too big thats why you can’t think right now, all the blood is rushing to your arms not your brain.” lol idk if i should be mad that he basically called me stupid or happy he said that i was swole? either way i thought it was funny so i didnt say anything back to him about it.
Not really a stupid statement from someone to me but still funny:
I was at the gym on base with a buddy (He’s AFR, I’m USMC) and we’re lifting, shootin the shit, generally having a solid workout. This huge behemoth walks in to the gym and immediately starts collecting all the 45’s like a squirrel harvesting for the winter. This guy is loading them on to the leg press like it’s going to roll away or something.
So, after about 15 minutes of collecting, Larry, the freak of nature here, has collected ALL of the 45’s (and the only pair of 100’s) in the place which required him to fill both pegs on the thing completely (couldnt even fit a collar on there if you were inclinded to do so.) And he’s somehow managed to balance the rest of the plates on the top of the machine (the plate you press with your feet). So, muscles here knocks out 2 or 3 sets of whatever like it was nothing. My buddy and I just kind of stare at this guy like some sort of freak show carnival type animal.
I’ve seen people move some serious weight but this guy was a little unreal. After realizing he can’t go up in weight, he looks around franticlly almost as though he’s world is collapsing around him and then notices us just starting. Comes storming over to us and askes if we can sit on the plates so he can do some one-legged reps. I’m not a big guy by any means. At the time I couldnt have weighed more than 150 soaking wet and between my buddiy and I, we weighted about 350 total.
Me: “Dude, stop. You win, you beat the gym. Congratulations, chief. Was the end boss hard?”
Him: “What?”
Me: “Seriously, this is like watching someone beat a terminally sick animal to death and just not stop. You’ve won. Time for a new hobby.”
Him: Blank stare.
Me: “Yeah, okay. I’ll sit on your stupid weights. Just dont flex any more, you’re scaring the old folk on the cardio machines. Christ.”
We all kind of pondered that for a split second only to all look over at the cardio section to see some 70 year old man in his matching Adidas running suit using an elptical machine facing opposite of us. He was looking over his should in our direction. Eyes wide open in a bugged-eyed manner whilst elpticalling is poor little heart out to a point beyond his pace makers capability. Just a little creepy.
I remember I was hanging out in my room with some kids during orientation freshman year of undergrad. One guy saw my creatine and was like, “Oooh, I don’t use that stuff, I prefer knowing that my gains are all me.”

The funniest part is how your general tone ridicules the man lifting the big weight as if it’s something out of place in a gym…
…you were “shooting the shit, generally having a solid workout”… while this guy’s fucking killing it so hard he needs your scrawny ass to sit on the machine because the gym ran out of plates!!
Wonder what was going through his mind when he saw you guys: “Fuck, that’s IT??? An old guy, a scrawny girl, and a pogey??? Damn, I thought this was going to be a good workout…”

I don’t see how disclosing the kids’ skin color has anything to do with your story.

The skin color was a necessary detail, otherwise the characters would just come off as flat, cliched stereotypes

In all fairness he was horribly out of place. He definately needed to be in a gym more suited for his needs. The base gym (Ft. Belvoir) is more or less designed like a typical globo gym. The staff generally disapprove of loud abrupt behavoir and since the weights are on the SECOND floor, movements like cleans, deadlifts, and snatches were ban. Homeboy needed a Ronnie Coleman type gym.
But yeah, I can imagine how disappointed he was…I look back and wish I had eaten more ham sammiches.
Yesterday I “checked in” at McDonald’s and posted a pic on FB of a McRib. Keep in mind, I eat 42-49 meals a week. I would say 95% of them are healthy meals.
20 comments were posted about how unhealthy it is, from smokers, obese people and general couch potatoes. 3 people “liked” the picture. All 3 are bodybuilders, two of which have been on stage.
PS - Did not have the fries or coke. McRib + Black coffee.
On the 4th of July I was told by my severely overweight mother, “You should stop working out so much, you are going to have a heart attack”; this from the woman who had her first stroke at 47.
She then went on to add, “Is that your chest or boobs?” and proceeded to poke my chest.

The opposite happens with me. If I were to post a picture of some chicken breast, kale and a bottle of water there would be droves of people that eat nothing but fast food asking me if I’m on a weird diet or trying to create flaws with my meal. However, if I were to have a picture of a Big Mac meal they would just say “that’s so good!”. It’s obligatory that they’re people that complain about getting fatter on a regular basis too.

I’ve a hard time believing it. All of the people I know that fit that criteria thought my supplements were steroids and told me they would make my dick shrink. Then they would speak with me privately and say “Juan, you’ve to let me get some of that shit, man! It makes you strong, right?”.
bump!
