Shirt Update...

We've reached the 20 order minimum! I will find out exactly what the shipping will cost via USPS Priority Mail. It should be around $4 for a single shirt. I'll have to figure out the exact shipping costs for multiple shirt orders and post it back here. The total amount due for the shirts, including shipping, will be included in the email I send out.

gray or lite gray an option, right?

email me price, and method of payment. I'll cough it up.

(unlike robdw, I am SO civilized, i might just leave the sleeves on, heh heh...)

sounds like JUST the attire to wear to my boo-boo monkeys office, heh heh.

I've figured out the shipping costs (from the USPS web site) and I'll email all the details to everyone later this afternoon. Thanks...

I dont look NEARLY so intimidating with the sleeves cut off a tshirt as i approach 40 (sigh). These days, i cant find 2/3'rds of my godd@mn triceps, LMAO.

abut all i have left to "prove" I was once a tough guy with a manly man's physique back in the day, is the cool "stretch marks" where my now atrophied pecs meet my shoulders.

Young men lifting weights take those "stretch marks" as a figure of merit, it means youre muscles are much larger than youre frame should support naturally, and that youre not a "cow lifter" who doesnt watch his percentage of bodyfat as he gets bigger.

(long, drawn out, sigh...)

much to my dismay, I catch occasional sight of my backside in the mirror getting in and out of the shower... I also have a spiderweb of tiny stretch lines THERE, too. I am not NEARLY so proud of those.

Gawd-D@mmit, i dont think i will ver again do the cool "titty dance" I could do when i was a young man. You know the weightlifters tity dance... when a guy half youre size is giving one the "eye" at a party when the weight dude isnt DOING anything wrong... you smile and make the chest of youre shirt "dance around" for friendly male intimidation.

the wrestlers and boxers, who didnt want size and had to stay compact, called that the "titty dance", LMAO. We adopted it as a figure of merit, kind of the way the cops took the derogative word "pig" and adopted it to mean "pride integrity guts".

for the RECORD, I was never one of the real "gorillas" at the gym in college, lol. I found out the really big guys i hung out with referred to a guy like me as a "gym rat"... slender guys that are really "cut" scurrying around with weights in our hands, going from station to station, LMAO. I was kinda like the mascot, hee hee. It took several years to get enough weight on while keeping the body fat low enough I could be considered the smallest of the "gorillas", LMAO.

VERY HUMOROUS: I was starting to smoke maybe a half pack of cigarettes every day or two, so during a couple hours of hanging out at the gym several days a week, I would hunt around looking for a secluded spot to sneak a cigarette if it was raining or snowing outside.

I once wandered into a back room in the basement I had been using for such, and "oopsied" onto two really H-U-G-E guys who looked up with that "oh crap, we're caught" look on their face.

The one gorilla had his pants dropped, and was bent over, and the other gorilla was stooping down behind him... Go figure what i THOUGHT I had stumbled onto (LMAO...) I screamed, they screamed, I took off out of the locker room and ZIPPED up those stairs, i think i hit three stairs out of 40 on the way up the stairwell, yelling, eyes wide with terror, scrambling for the door...

guys are coming outof the free weight room like "what the h3ll...??". I calmed down and went back into the upstairs free weight room, tellign everybody what I had "oopsied" into. The two "brokeback gorillas" came sheepishly upstairs, and just as i ws trying to make my escape, my one big buddy caught my upper arm and hauled me in and calmed me down and took me aside to explain the facts of life at the gym to me...

LMAO

I had absolutely no experience with steroids before, and had never seen anyone put a needle into themselves before. Turns out THAT was what was going on in the back room downstairs i used to sneak a cigarette in, hee hee. Apparently, steroid users are similar to mainline addicts in that they want to hide their injection sites from the world.

youre buddy "pops" the needle into yer buttcheek, then you do the same for him in return... which is what i had happened into going on.

I was suddenly amazingly content to be merely 6'0", 215 lbs, around 10 to 12 percent bodyfat, and lost interest in trying to become 245 and same bodyfat at my six feet tall, LMAO. Needles and blood tests dont scare me like some people, but i also had no intentions of playing aith needles in an amateur fashion.

smallest of the gorillas suddenly became just fine, lol.

B-U-T... those two guys took some SERIOUS humor at their expense they never completely lived down, LMAO... The one of the two was always mutterig under his breath "gawd-d@mn gym rats, always scurrying around... grumble-grumble-grumble"

TMI!
To Much Information !!!

From the original tee shirt orders, I'm still waiting for two replies from:

• MR300WM (sent 6/11/06, re-sent 6/14/06)
  
• grandpao (sent 6/11/06, re-sent 6/14/06)

If you didn't get this email make sure to check any SPAM filters you may have. Adding the email address " orders@reloadbench.com " to your address book might also help in some instances.

SkyKid, I'll re-send the email to you from the "orders" email address and the web site alternate address (my personal ISP). If any other members listed above did NOT receive the email, please let me know. Thanks...

------------------

I just received your payment confirmation and you paid the right amount. The PayPal price is slightly higher due to their 3.5% fee for using their service.

Yes some of the stuff you talk about is funny as he!!, but not all of it goes well with my morning coffee. There should be a standing rule like no "titty dance" discussions before lunchtime!

Twinkie Stars? Does this mean you are joining the ranks with beemanbeme? I know he takes his stars very seriously...

Bee, TMI! (see above thread)

SkyKid, A personal check is fine.

I'm not "right" ?

this comes as some sort of SHOCK by this stage of the game? lmao.

PS: yes, you can pay by personal check, but if it bounces, GREG says he's paying my bus fare to youre hometown. I will wear bunny ears and "speedos" and do a suggestive dance in youre front lawn. I have an 8.5 foot tall antenna on the roof of my old beat up car, which should FURTHER alarm the neighbors. The CB hs a "PA" on it, with which i will drive around the block "preaching". When i am done with the dance, i build a small "altar" of stones on the lawn and tell everyone that I am praying to "molech, the god of fire."

When they ask "why" I will tell them "because he will give me power over my enemies!"

When i am done, i hump the mailbox before i leave.

you may now want to re-think the personal check, i would think (as I am not all that attractive in my speedos...lol)

I'm thinking that may be a sellable service!

Do you mean the tee shirt or a sport shirt (with a collar) for embroidering?

If the tee shirt order didn't reach the minimum amount, they were going to have just the logo embroidered on the left breast with "RLB STOCK 2006" embroidered just beneath the logo. The embroidery would have added about $3.00 to the total cost of the tee.

Now that we have more than the minimum (possibly up to 26 shirts with a pending order) the tee shirts are going to be silk screened (printed). I wanted to keep costs to a minimum without skimping on the quality of the shirt. They did offer some 50/50 (cotton/poly blend) shirts, which were cheaper, but they felt real cheap and weren't comfortable to wear.

If there is an interest, I can get some updated prices for some sport shirts (100% cotton pique) with the embroidered logo. But I doubt that I'd be able to do this before the meet in August.

I will take 1 Beefy Tee in medium and 1 Beefy Tee 2XL with the "RLB" on the left breast. E mail me and I will have a MO in the mail the next day. I can hardly wait for August. May the rains in Maine shower south Texas that weekend.
