[Jesse Marunde]

I read a story about that bear. Don't know if it was true or not though. Supposedly the bear was a man eater.

What is the story of the bear and the man. How did that weight lifter jumped that high? it is cool.

[SqeezeMasterFlash]

is that the Mighty Atom? Jesse

At around age 70, putting a 20d nail through a large plank and 5 sheets of steel

[Eric Johnson]

Here's a few, A like the face on Markus Ruhl, it looks like it doesn't belong on that body :)

[lhprop1]

A few action shots of me.

[SqeezeMasterFlash]

Eric, That looks like a nice setup for pin rows!

[Steve Pulcinella]

Hey Jess, note that big Torvi is wearing an Iron Sport shirt in that photo.

[Jesse Marunde]

nice!

Jesse

[Brian Brouwer]

Look at this giant! Either everyone else is a migit, or he is 7 feet tall and probably 400lb!

[GDolan]

When did you grow your hair long Jesse? :D

[Jesse Marunde]

Brian is that pic real? that guys a monster!

Geoff, I haven't had long hair since I was 15.

Jesse

[Jamie T]

I beleive that the pic is of "the Giant" Dalip Singh.. he has done some pro wrestling in Japan and is rumored to be training for some MMA.. He has been billed at 7'4" 460 lbs.. but some educated estimates have him a legit 7'0" and 400 lbs.. still a house .. it will be interesting to see how big he really is as he is in "the longest yard" with some large men.. kevin nash, bob sapp etc..

Jamie

[Jesse Marunde]

here's another one of "Giant Singh". he's from India.

[Eric Johnson]

Man he is huge. I didn't know that Bob Sapp is in the longest yard, I will have to see it now. I watched Bob in a mixed martial arts fight a while back and he is huge, when he hit his opponent, the opponent would move a few feet back each time, very impressive, except he got winded so fast he almost lost. I imagine Singh will be playing the part of the really tall dude from the original?

[Jesse Marunde]

I saw Bob in person at the Emerald Cup a while back. ya he is huge.

Jesse

[AaRoNSnider]

I imagine Singh will be playing the part of the really tall dude from the original?

Thats what I figured.I saw him on the preview.What a beast

[Ryan Phillips]

hmmm that guy pretty big

wats the longest yard??

[AaRoNSnider]

A re make of an older movie,which Burt Reynolds starred in.Good movie!

Kaz at 330 lbs and 7% bodyfat, crazy!

http://www.mcshane-enterprises.com/ASL/images/Kaz/latspread.jpg

[Ryan Rhodes]

The Boz is in it too.

[Eric Johnson]

Cool, I always thought the Boz was a better actor than football player. I think I was one of the only people how liked stone cold.

[AaRoNSnider]

I liked that movie.Tom Magee that competed in WSM was in it too.

[Ryan Rhodes]

Stone cold was classic, but his other movies blew. Boz was a good player, He just had old man shoulders; He juiced away his body before he went pro. He was smart, too. He insured his contract with the Seahawks so when he finally had a reason to bail, he did and cashed out bigtime.

[kara]

ryan...hell yea to the super old school, vintage pic...LOVE IT!

[Ryan Rhodes]

Wow, good looks, good lifts and good taste to boot.

[Ryan Phillips]

haha, amen to that bro :D

[Brian Brouwer]

that looks like a good bit of weight in the top pic for a guy that size.

[Ryan Phillips]

yeh it looks pretty mad aye

[Brian Brouwer]

yeah, looks like 200lb. But the 2 fellas in the bottom pic, on the left hand side, they are scary looking, and not just from thier size or stretch marks. :eek:

[Ryan Phillips]

yeh how crazy does the guy on the far left look, his eyes are scary!

the little dude in the middle is anthony clarke, he used to be the bench king but i dont know wat hes doin now

the last pic with the chik holding the big dude is so cool

[Jesse Marunde]

[Jonathan Barlow]

bahahhaha. what is that picture of dione from?

[AaRoNSnider]

My prediction: Dione kills Jesse the next time she sees him for posting that picture haha

[Jesse Marunde]

http://www.robertuniverse.com/casestudy/wesselsgallery.htm

[Ryan Phillips]

jesse wats this "330 or bust" ?

[AaRoNSnider]

Ha..not a bad pciture.Was just different to see.I think its the first time Ive seen Dione smiling :D

[Keenan Hollingsworth]

Who is the guy beside Dione, he is huge!

[Jonathan Barlow]

Here I am getting ready to lick an ice cream cone at the finish line.

http://dcj.amaltd.com:8080/DSC_0558.jpg

[Jonathan Barlow]

No I didn't mean it was a bad pic of dione either. I just never picture her like that. I can only picture her screaming angrily at people to lift heavy things.

[Jonathan Barlow]

http://dcj.amaltd.com:8080/squat.jpg

[SBaier]

Me at the Heartland last year.

[ClayEdgin]

That picture of Dione is great. I had only met her for 2 seconds last year when I dropped a 250lb log from overhead (I didn't know any better) and she jumped in my face, screaming "CONTROL THE F---ING WEIGHT!!!" I was too stunned to continue! hahaha She seems like such a nice person when you're not abusing the equipment though :)

[Jesse Marunde]

couple more pics

[kara]

damn jesse that pic is from back in the day! SOS 2003! cool :)

here's my addition...gotta love my handler's outfit!

[ClayEdgin]

Here's my submission. 2" handle, 278lbs. Of course I can clean and press it.... :p

[ClayEdgin]

Okay, a few more.

[Jesse Marunde]

that pic of the number 4 is awesome!

J

[SqeezeMasterFlash]

Clay, you're looking a little leaner in that first thickbar pic than the rest of them. :p

[ClayEdgin]

Thanks Jesse. It was a lucky photo - not very often I get a good gripper close with that kind of clarity!

Jeff, I was about 300 in that picture so yeah, I was a little leaner ;) I'd like to be down to that weight again because, well, I was damn sexy!

[Steve Shafley]

Those rugby pics of Ben Hanson take me back, I used to wear the same harlequin red and black while playing for the Flint Rogues RFC in the early 90s.

I was a lean mean 200# flanker at the time.

[Micah B.]

my hero, bob peoples

[Corey St. Clair]

these two are good ones...Jesse and Dawson and Jesse crapping his pants as he lifts a 330 stone

[Mike Westerling]

Why do I have to do the dishes? I'm not even allowed to eat off the table....

[Mike Westerling]

The brothers together Hulk and Scooby...

[Reg Barton]

Here's a couple.

[Lacy]

How old is arnold now?

[Ryan Phillips]

im pretty sure hes 58 this year

[Olek Kozlowski]

Who is this guy with big arms who deadlifts a car? Looks huge :eek:

[Jesse Marunde]

he's a buddy of mine- http://www.jon-andersen.com/

Jesse

[lhprop1]

Here's a pic of me playing with the 325 stone that was in the local paper.

[Patrick McGuffin]

Here's a couple.


woah! steak and cheese !!! :eek: its like a horrible flashback, some of the vids are funny though

ps- at least bill pearl seemed to do cardio

[Mike Yuen]

is the arnold pic for real?

[Jacob Sauter]

Its a couple years old, and was right after his heart surgery. If you have seen T3, he is back in pretty damn good physical condition.

[Matt Meinrod]

I met Giant Singh last fall, he's definitely over 7' and I'd put him an easy 440lb., but the most impressive thing about him was the size of his paws. The hand was twice the size of mine (literally), even more impressive, he was next to Bill Goldberg when I met him, and he dwarfted Goldberg too.

[JEFF VANCO]

John Cole, Paul Anderson, Pat Casey

Nuff said.

Is that pic for real or are those foam plates?!

Is that pic for real or are those foam plates?!

what? that was just my warmup :D

im pretty sure it was photoshopped. i just happened upon it and got a good chuckle out of it.

[Dan Harrison]

Me lying next to my own vomit during my first day training strongman (http://thefreakfactory.com/v-web/gallery/August2004/082104_006_Medium_001)

[Jesse Marunde]

dude that is sick straight up. yu rock!

Jesse

[Patrick McGuffin]

what? that was just my warmup :D

im pretty sure it was photoshopped. i just happened upon it and got a good chuckle out of it.

definateley photoshopped, look at how long the ends of tha bar is, they would be about two feet to long with that many plates on it

[JEFF VANCO]

Out of the probably 3000 pics I have of strongman and powerlifting, this is my favorite and I just found it yesterday.



The best ever.

[J. Alexander]

My second Strongman contest....after getting humiliated on thick handled farmers. This pic actually made it on to the APT website. *LOL*

[Tod Becraft]

I haven't tried Morgan's sandbag training yet but does this count as sandbag training?It weighed 350 lbs. LOL


http://www.juliehavelka.com/wrestling/pw121104_48.html



Tod

[Eric Johnson]

:eek: That's damn impressive Tod, very cool.

[Dan Harrison]

That pic of Dave Pasanella looks totally terrifying. Like he is wrapping his knees so he can kick your head off. He actually looks like the actor Jeffrey Jones in that pic too! You know, the red-haired principal in Ferris Bueller's day off....the guy who played satan in Stay Tuned....you know the guy....

[Patrick McGuffin]

he does, doesnt he........

[Peter Hall]

Me being the incredible hulk:

[Peter Hall]

Sorry i didn't mean it to be so big!! Am a bit slow with pictures on a computer.

[Patrick McGuffin]

This makes my inner child happy :D

[Patrick McGuffin]

Here are some more that i like

[Patrick McGuffin]

I got to say that last picture is damn sexy :D :BB:


Ps. sorry i just figured out how the attachments work

[ClayEdgin]

The first time I met Bill Goldberg, it was ringside at a wrestling event. He and some fatass (don't remember his name) were fighting outside the ring and I stood up so I could see how tall I was compared to him. I thought I was about equal in height. But I thought he looked bigger on TV so I was a bit disappointed. Second time I saw him was in Monterey across the street from a Subway and he was in street clothes. He looked HUGE.

[ClayEdgin]

Here I am loading the three-fiddy:

[Patrick McGuffin]

wait arent you like 6'7" or something?? i swear somewhere that they put him at 6'4" and 270 is, anyways goldberg is a beast, not like most of the little bodybuilders on the wwe roster , not many of them can press a 300 lb man above their heads :D

[Patrick McGuffin]

sweet, i wish that i could load any stone over 300 :rolleyes:

(oh by the way that is me pulling the simi in that last pic)

[ScottDowney]

Just a couple of mine and my fiance's favourites

Forget the car! Look at what he did to that motorcycle!! :eek: The HONDA didn't have a chance.

[JohnCarlsson]

That last pick was Bob Peoples doing probably the most interesting leg press you will ever see and Capt Kirk with a Deeeeeeeeeep squat.!!!!!!!!!!

More:

Shane and Tom Platz showing Lou what legs are.

[ClayEdgin]

Holy crap, Hamman is huge.

[JohnCarlsson]

[JohnCarlsson]

my fav of arnold..... and some extras

[Mac Smith]

Arnold's the man!! The female has nice legs and backside (I don't want to get banned so I kept it clean!)!!! And the kick is freakish!! The guy has one hell of vertical jump!!!

[Mac Smith]

A few more of my favorites






Who says white men cant jump!!!LOL!!!

[Jesse Marunde]

OK... white men CAN jump, and Mac CAN make a mom-friendly comment about a fine booty... AMAZING!

Jesse

[JohnCarlsson]

I guess this famous pose by Frank Zane is a thing of the past. They probably wouldnt let him on stage today, although I dont think bigger is better.

[Patrick McGuffin]

i think bodybuilders today are about as big as they can get and i am pretty sure the more asthetic phisique will be back in style soon, here are a few greats from the past: Bill Pearl (at 56 none the less), Larry Scott and Steve Reeves

svend with a 484lb stone!!!!

[Patrick McGuffin]

Quite possibly the best MMA fighter, ever, Fedor Emelianenko.

[Mike Westerling]

looks kinda small though.... maybee it was a typo and its really 384, either way its a cool pic :D

...and let me just say that he is a f#$@ing giant! If you put that stone in the arms of a mortal it would probably look like it weighed 500lbs!!!!!!!! When he demo'd loading the stones the 300 looked like a freaking basketball in his arms. I believe he said he had loaded a 500 lb stone in training too.

[Patrick McGuffin]

Sweeet!!!!!!!

[Jacob Sauter]

http://www2.prideofficial.com/free/news/img/photo_b/1125321628.jpg http://www.sponichi.co.jp/battle/special/2005pride_0828/images/KPhotoNormal20050829028_l.jpg

Quite possibly the best MMA fighter, ever, Fedor Emelianenko.

You think so? I mean if anyone were to beat him in PRIDE right now it would have been Mirko IMO.. but I dont think he is the best ever. I think a really good match would be between him and Andrei Arlovski from UFC. Both are fantastic stand up fighters

[WILL NEWLAND]

Arlovski is good & thats why Mir is not interested in fightinf him.
I believe Fedor is too heavy handed,too slick & has got loads
of heart.
My prediction Fedor sub round 3 :EP:

[Patrick McGuffin]

I wanna be like this guy!

[Jesse Marunde]

we have a place out here that makes burgers that look just like that...

[Patrick McGuffin]

niiiiice :D

[Paul Neuhaus]

do you think the plane had a starboard list?

[patrick w.]

do you think the plane had a starboard list?


I don't know if it has a startboard list..but it defenitly is overly loaded on the left side. :F: :M:

[Dan Harrison]

I wanna be like this guy!

That looks like a big black version of "Special Ed" from the show Crank Yankers. Yaaaaaayyyyy I like burgers I like burgers I like burgers! Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

[Joshua Davis]

Couple of Jouku, a shot of Shannon Hartnett, a picture I found the other day to harrass Dan with, my son on his 1st birthday showing us strongmen how to eat, and my first stone...

[Patrick McGuffin]

I use a 47lb weight now, but it's still cool looking.

[TEXAS STONEMAN]

My father (59) shouldering a 230 atlas stone.

[DaneGarreau]

That is a pretty good picture. I can't shoulder that big a stone yet, I need to work on it. Tell him I said good job.

[benjamin d. moore]

Your dad rocks, Travis.

[Kevin Nee]

roger is the SH**...hey trav...tell him im not a bad influence. haha

[Corey DuCharme]

My father (59) shouldering a 230 atlas stone.

That is seriously one of the most inspiring lifting pictures I've ever seen.

[D.J. Satterfield]

Cool thing about Roger is, when I competed against him at 2004 Ntls. he could only load four stones, missing the fifth.
The next year, (10 months to be exact) in Salina, KS, he not only loads all five stones but but in 25 seconds, amazing progress.
My mother and wife say I am getting to the age (I'm 41) to start thinking about hanging it up. I said "you two are crazy, Roger is 58, hell, I've got at least 17 more years to go".
Roger, you are my hero!

dude that place rocks! you need a stone platform and some rocks and that place is a strait up training dungeon!

[Alan Benninga]

There is one (Stone platform) at the far end, it's black and you can't make it out well. It's made of 2X5 3/16 rectagle tubing. You can't make out the tires very well either. There's more equipment there not pictured.

[MarshallWhite]

He trains all the time! And he hits the gym with Travis during the week.

[Mike Westerling]

He trains all the time! And he hits the gym with Travis during the week.

I plan on doing the same when I'm 59. Guys like him and Odd show you don't just have to shrivel up into an easy chair and drewl on your vegatables once you hit 50! I know so many guys at the gym that are in their early 30's telling me how they can't train heavy anymore because of all the injuries and they aren't kids anymore etc.... I've known most of them since when they first started and they never trained heavy to begin with. I'm only 37 and I can't imagine having the attitude that it's over now "I'll just do light upper body and do cardio for legs and stay fit".

Giants tackle Luke Petitgout against Mike Rucker in this year's Wild Card Game against the Panthers. Luke and his father George own a clothing line called O-Line. They will be giving O-Line shirts away at the Philly show this year. Luke is a big strongman fan and is from Delaware.

that is too cool!

[DaneGarreau]

This Tyler, a friend from Church. This guy has the most unreal toe strength I have ever seen. I have witnessed him pick up a baseball, 3 pinched together 5 pound plates, 1 10 pound plate, and I have seen him pick up a bible and toss it a few feet; all with his toes!! Seriously, this guy has some sick toe strength.

This picture is of him pinching 3 5 pound plates.

[Corey DuCharme]

Great, now I'm going to be barefoot and chalking up my toes within the hour! :LOL: Not that it matters, but why does he do this? Is he a martial artist or something? I know strong toes help you plant yourself firmly on the ground and assist in grappling and striking.

[DaneGarreau]

He just has the abnormal ability to do almost anything you can do with your hands(throw a ball with accuracy, write, is there a such thing as toe wrestling, etc) This is just a byproduct of him always reaching his toes out and pinching people and we came up with the idea of him trying to do something actually useful like toe pinching haha.

[GregMonfredo]

Hahahahaha, that's awesome. He should try and try and get in the guiness book of world records with the heaviest toe pinch or something.

[lhprop1]

This was on Crossfit today. Future stone/sandbag loader?

[Sean Hatley]

Heres a few i have. Johnnie Jackson, Ben Moore on Log for Reps, and Jill Mills, and Jill and Johnny Perry

[MarkSikora]

Sean,

Great shots.

Uh, in case you didn't know, that gal in the last pic w/ Jill and Perry is pretty well known too. Shannon Hartnett (sp?). Strongwoman, Highland Games champ, etc etc etc. (Her Milo poster is hanging in my garage, weight for height- great pic).

see ya

Mark

[Sean Hatley]

I couldnt remeber here name, I saw here on the cover of Milo.

[Cory Strack]

Johnnie Jackson is pretty jacked, and a strong dude. I saw him at the arnold this year and was surprised at how short he is though. He's only about 5'7 or so, but he looks taller in pictures.

[Sean Hatley]

Here's a few more.

[Sean Hatley]

And a few more

[Patrick McGuffin]

Yay Kara..... ahem I want this, I REALLY WANT THIS!!!

[Sean Hatley]

Yay Kara..... ahem I want this, I REALLY WANT THIS!!!
Oh yeah i want that car too. That thing is sexy

[Tony Christopher]

I beleive that the pic is of "the Giant" Dalip Singh.. he has done some pro wrestling in Japan and is rumored to be training for some MMA.. He has been billed at 7'4" 460 lbs.. but some educated estimates have him a legit 7'0" and 400 lbs.. still a house .. it will be interesting to see how big he really is as he is in "the longest yard" with some large men.. kevin nash, bob sapp etc..

Jamie

Looks to be about 1/2 head taller than Undertaker, who I believe is a legitimate 6'8" ... so 7'0" and ~ 400 seems legit.

[Luke Paskins]

[ClayEdgin]

This guy came out to our novice contest last month to watch. He's a trainee of one of the competitors, who is a personal trainer. After the contest, he asked if he could try the keg loading. He got through the 60 and 80, but just wasn't quite able to completely load the 100 on his own.

Now this is heart!

These are going to be at Tulsa, 185 empty. There is room for 10 plates on each implement. The bottom plate is 2 1/2 inch thick by 17 inch diameter solid. The upright is solid shaft.

one of the coolest implements ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alan Benninga]

Alan,

$100.00 for the implement, but shipping would be over $300.00. Ouch, I know!

I hope the web address ends up in some pics.

Is 17'' not a tad wide? It sems like it may kinda bang into your knees.

It is for me, but when you have to make them to load with plates, keep a low handle height, and hold 500lbs they get kind of big. 17" is a little larger than a 35 and smaller than a 45. I don't like to use a disk on the bottom that is smaller than the plates you will be using, it catches on the stairs. I should have put 35's on it, only 1/2 inches of the bottom plate sticks out.

The lead filled, smaller powerstairs are definately more fun to load.

Magnus Samuelsson has competed in around 10 WSM competions and has mad it to the top 10 at least 9 times (including his 1st place). This is quite an accomplishment.

[Ben Booker]

[Barry Perkins]

some pics here of jesse during the strongest man alive in '04, dionne, shannon, me with some protein chicks, picture of my living room about 2 yrs ago...since moved from there..lol..,

[Barry Perkins]

here's another pic of my daughter...about a yr 1/2 ago...she wanted to "try" the log..so I suited her up....kinda funny...and the tire as well...

[benjamin d. moore]

Nevermind. I don't want to come across as insulting.

[Barry Perkins]

...everyone notices her.....I had to do one of those "chick" pics...just for giggles..

[Adam Keep]

Dude the one with Jesse and the Moose was so funny. I was at the contest and after the stones Instead of high fiving the moose he leveled him with what looked like a shoulder to the chest. The croud booed soo hard. Jesse had to hug the blue moose afterward.

[Ben Booker]

That little girl is pretty strong! :eek:

[Jesse Marunde]

Wow, the girl to the right of you (your left) really needs a hamburger or something.

That's rather insulting... She's petite, nothing wrong with that. In fact, her income depends on her staying thin.

[Garrick Daft]

Dam... Jesse's got the hookup to all the women!!!

Except mine!! Don't even try to get her! hahahahaha.. Just playing!

No agree that she is fine...I didn't even notice she was thin, I just thought dam what hot women those are...oh man the Arnold is so freakin great..if you guys haaven't been there go soon...it's like another planet...women are jaw freakin dropping! Beavis and Butthead would say "Dude, this is the greatest thing... we have ever seen."

[benjamin d. moore]

Not trying to be insulting, Jesse. She looks great, she just stands out from the rest due to the fact that her ribs are very visible.

[benjamin d. moore]

Plus she looks a lot better to me in the pics on her site than she does in the pic posted previously.

[Garrick Daft]

BTW, what the heck is Myspace supposed to be... I hear about sometimes on the news and people here link to it once in a while...I just don't get what it is all about...is it a blog, diary, promo advertising, phishing hole..??? Don't let me get the thread off topic..just too dumb to figure out what it is.

[Chris McNatt]

Looks like someone lost a lot of weight!!!

[ClayEdgin]

I don't think I posted these already. Saw someone else's daughter flipping a tire and thought I'd add to the collection. My daughter is 3 and the tire weighs 45lbs. She likes flipping tires and "being strong with daddy."

[Barry Perkins]

great pictures Clay....that's awesome!

[Ben Booker]

Thats awesome Clay...a future athlete.

[Ben Booker]

great pictures Clay....that's awesome!

HAHAHA...That is great Barry..."I may be fat, but you are ugly...and I can loose weight".

[Jay O'Neill]

Clay your daughter is Cute! My step daughters are always out in th egym with me... the little one is 45 pounds and I got her a 100 pound tire to flip. She wanted to bench press because she saw me... so I let her try the bar.. with guidance and she pushed it up like nothing... unbelievable strenghth.

[Tony Crawford]

Cool pictures Clay.

[Dan Harrison]

Aweosme pics, Clay. I've never met (or even seen) your daughter, so it's good to know she's no a squid or something like that alien baby that lady gave birth to in Men in Black.

My training partner Mike's daughters are sometimes at Odd's watching us lift...whevener they get to loud I just hurl them into a nearby, extra-thorny briar patch.

[jake brooks]

My wife and I are getting ready to have our first child in two weeks...a little girl and after seeing those pictures of Clays daughter it puts a whole new perspective on having a "litle girl" I hope she looks at the stuff I do and wnats to be strong like daddy also!

Great Pictures Clay!

[benjamin d. moore]

My daughter regularly comes to our training days and to the basement to watch me train. She calls it "going to strong." There's no better feeling in the world than having your child cheer for you to make a lift. Of course, she will also laugh when you miss one!

[benjamin d. moore]

That was at the Kansas Strongest Man last year when it was 110 on the asphalt. She was a trooper and played all day. That's my dad in the pic.

No parlor tricks when it comes to that BTW...

[Jay Hagadorn]

Here's a couple more from Singapore. The first one is a 4ft steel bar bend in the mouth, tuff because it was so short. The second is is a deck of cards getting torn in half lengthwise with oven mitts on. The third is a bunch of kids at a school we did an event at. It's all for the Lord...

Jay is that with the Power Team or Mike Hagens Strength Team.

[Patrick McGuffin]

That is what I was wondering.

[Jay Hagadorn]

Patrick and Rod-

I used to travel w/ some Power Team guys. We have our own group based out of ID called the GM Strength Team...

[rod johnson]

Johnny Perry, Torfi Olafsson and Jon Valgeir-Williams on a plane...those seats look painful!

I was watching the video today and Jon said Torfi couldn't get his right check in the site but, i think he meant left or maybe right is left in Iceland. :T:

[Tony Christopher]

Can a 6'5" 350 pound man (Valgeir) be considered "the little guy" in the group.
:D

[Dave Harman]

a couple cool pics.

[Tony Crawford]

Looks like it Tony. To me 350 is not small. But when you have those 2 big monsters to sit beside, he is small.

[shalroth]

...am I the only bloke on this forum that wants to more pics of Jesse with his shirt off?!? Grrrr!!!! LOL ;-)
