84. Mine isn't even a lie. Mr. Universe once asked me for weight training advice
Tue Sep 4, 2012, 03:07 PM
Sep 2012

Absolute truth. Admittedly it was "Hey - where are the foot straps for this (chin up frame used for hanging sit ups)?" when he happened to be visiting the gym I attended - but it counts in my mind.

Jeff King for the curious BTW. Just checked out his pics online to verify my memory. God that makes me feel old. I met a Mr. Universe when they still looked slightly human.....
