Well well, he even included a picture of himself--polyester bell bottoms, dyed hair and the works!

Now we get to see the man behind the stereo...

Maybe it's true he would have had Nathan fold his hands too!

Are we sure that's not Jack LaLane?

Hey guys, give ol' chuck a break. He's pretty pumped up for an older guy. Psychocanibal, I bet he could easily wring your little pencil neck. Chuck seems like an okay guy, although maybe a bit eccentric. Say what you want, the man hates vibration...in his car...in his home. Anywhere it may be.

Nothing further from the truth.

I can't find shirts whose neck will fit mine.

My favorite fitness activity is fitness boxing. I was a student of prof. Tomassini and Wilfredo Rivera, one of the world's best welterweights. When I am weight lifting and I do squats I do not use a lifting belt. Just like the old timers...

I'll bet hats are an even greater problem.

Hey, Rivera was a pretty tough guy in his time. I believe he fought Whittaker, DeLaHoya, Moseley, Vargas, etc. Even though he was beyond his fighting prime, he had a lot of heart in all those fights and even put Vargas on his back early in their fight. Those Puerto Ricans are pretty tough. How is Rivera doing? Has he sustained any damage from all of the wars he endured? I love boxing and really feel for the boxers, like Rivera, who fought with heart and a great deal of pride. It's a brutal game, but one that I love.

Back when I was 19, we had a party at our house where someone we knew got his ear bit off by someone my roommates knew who we called "Crazy Bruce" . That's kind of like boxing isn't it?

believe it or not I have been asked if I was Jack
Lalanne a hundred times and sometimes I said yes.I hope that was a compliment .Jack was the one who started it all and was and is the greatest of all times.His
feats have never been duplicated.At almost 90 he is an
inspiration to everyone.

Dont you know by now that hating vibration is what audio is all about!The only good vibration is in a stylus and a speaker cone.Anything else
will destroy your sound.

Actually that's a very good point. Adding or removing things from the listening room should change the sound significantly. Room acoustics seem to be something that is given little thought compared to components by most audiophiles it seems.

I met Wilfredo through a high school friend of mine who managed the Longshoremen's gym in San Juan (1994). I had fractured a knuckle hitting a sand filled heavy bag and my friend said that he would have a kid that worked with him help me with technique. It was Wilfredo. We became friends and I used to go to his inlaw's to watch the fights. Catholicism and confusion killed Wilfredo's focus and killer instinct. I was in the gym the day his coach of young age showed up while the PR Olympic coach was training everybody. It was not a pretty sight. I saw them two argue and when I saw Wilfredo go back to train with that moron. I knew he was finished.

Chuckie is right--it's just that these guys lack the ability to separate the message from the messenger...

Bruce Lee always said, "Absorb what is useful." That's one of the great lessons in life: not fighting what someone is teaching. Just look, listen, evaluate, absorb what is useful and what is not keep it stored--it may be useful later.

That is a very wise philosophy.Your
body will absorb what it can use and eliminate that which has no value.

Come on Chuck.. I know you do not feel it is worth your time to check your spelling and grammar (despite previously being a teacher), in order to make yourself appear more estimable, but do not fall so low as to making petty threats

If you were joking, I guess you have to learn how to use those evil "yellow balls"

Green ones work as well
