Way to go Randy!

I am much better writing my “pithy” thoughts on this blaaawg, then writing about things that go on with my personal life. However, I am sensing it is necessary to write about some stuff about the Arnold weekend.
Toney Freeman is a good friend of mine, and in fact he is the only male bodybuilder I make suits for. If anyone has seen him perform that knows my work, they have already figured that out. But his suit at the Arnold, I cannot take the credit.
Last summer, some punk ass little f-cks broke into my garage and stole my car for a joyride. I was furious so my buddy Tom turned me onto his friend Randy Morrison. Randy, a Navy Veteran, Sturgis photographer extrodinaire, and firearms expert, took me under his wing and taught me everything I now know and love about firearms. So he and I are always going to indoor and outdoor ranges to shoot. In fact I have even turned my mother into an “Annie Oakley”. Please understand that I am a “legal”, licensed firearms owner, and member of the NRA.
So, Randy was here when Toney sent over his routine music and he was completely inspired. He took 30-06, 308, 223, and FN 5.7 x 28 bullets, and one 50 cal., tumbled them, polished them, and drilled the holes in them, then we riveted them onto Toney’s suit. If you go to www.bodybuilding.com , or www.musculardevelopement.com , www.flexonline.com , you can see his evening performance pictures. On www.bodybuilding.com you can even see the replay of the night show where he is #5 or 6 on stage and you can watch the whole routine. Oh, yea, I think I have some on this site of mine on the men’s bodybuilding page…duh….
Anyway, it was incredible. I can’t imagine what people were thinking when he put those on and started pumping up back stage.
So I need to give credit where credit is due. Thanks Randy. It was a total hit, and even though you might not think so, those blisters on your hands were totally worthy…………………………..You busted your ass to get those done, and successfully completed your vision.
