This of course begs the question, “Which one speaks better English?”

Is LMB standing on a box? When I met him when he was Mayor, I had to bend over to shake hands with him; his head was somewhere down around my then ample midriff. I thought Arnold was over 6′ tall.
Arnold is short, which makes his muscles look bigger. Lou Ferrigno was the tall one.
I’m not sure if Arnie is 6′, though he may be listed in some places as being as tall or taller. A lot of celebs like to give themselves an extra inch or two. However, Lou Ferrigno was quite tall, likely 6’5″ or 6’6″ I’d guess. (And still the best Hulk there will ever be!) I also briefly met the former mayor of Seoul a couple of years back, and would be surprised were he any taller than 5’6″. (He was surrounded by a few big guys, so maybe that skewed things a little.) There have been some pretty tall US Presidents – Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, LBJ, Bush Sr, Clinton and Obama come to mind – but most of the Korean ones I can think of have been somewhat vertically challenged.
5’5″ – maybe — with his elevators on.
And what’s with the hair? I wouldn’t shake his hand now for fear of getting the shoe polish from his coiffure on my hand.
well, it certainly doesn’t beg the question, “who’s the top?”
My first question would have been “Who’s wearing less make-up?”
Well one thing I think we can be fairly sure of is that it’s Arnie who’s wearing the ajumma lingerie — to keep his bitch tits and jelly belly under control.
The question I want to ask is which one has a bigger 연장(tool). A body builder verses a Korean man, that’s got to be neck and neck. But I’d place my money on Arnold this time, you can’t expect much from someone who definitely has a high heel fetish.
I dunno. A juicer’s junk is usually that and withered; and Arnold was a juicer and proud of it – and has had how many by-passes to prove it? I’m betting Maria had to resort to the magnifier and tweezers.
Hmmm, sure you’re not confusing Arnold with Franco Columbo. He was the short stuff of that era, who could never win because of Arnold’s stature. And Ferrigno didn’t have the morphological elegance of Arnold , relatively-speaking.
Back when I followed bodybuilding somewhat, I recall reading Arnie is 6-2. He certainly isn’t “short” by any normal definition.
And yes, Ferrigno was quite tall. 6-5 or so, again if I recall correctly.
Er. Perhaps you guys could sound a little less gay.
Really – discussing a standing gov’s apparatus is not something normally seen here at the MH. Thanks to Jewook for enlarging (yuck, yuck) my vocabulary.
Robert,
This is the funniest thing I’ve read today…
Gloria (from Vancouver, Canada, remember me?
verses are for poetry. You probably mean versus. But then again, English is neither California’s, nor Korea’s, nor The Hole’s official language, is it?
Looks like Terminator can put Bulldozer on a cracker and eat him…
How’s that girly man?
The Governator isn’t that tall. About 6-0, 6-1. I saw him at a beach clean-up event. He dawned on shorts and made it to our event unannounced, which was pretty cool.
Is that similar to what the Clintonater did to that woman’s dress?
#10,
Maybe, but don’t forget 3 time Mr. Olympia, Frank Zane. 5.9″, 180-190 pounds at competition.
He’s one of only 3 people to have beaten Arnold in a bodybuilding competition.

“There have been some pretty tall US Presidents – Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, LBJ, Bush Sr, Clinton and Obama come to mind – but most of the Korean ones I can think of have been somewhat vertically challenged.”
Actually, I remember reading somewhere that Americans rarely elect the shorter candidate.
Concerning the 연장 talk, I can’t help but recall wjk’s observation from Oct 31, 2007:

Gloria: Glad you enjoyed it. Everything well with you over there?
Some Guy:
Good point re Frank Zane. He had an amazing physique in his prime and sort of beat Arnold at his own game. Arnold beat out most of his competition on the basis of what I called the elegance factor; he was as muscularly “big” as they were, but far more graceful (relatively-speaking), both stationary and in movement. Thus he sort of transformed the nature of the judging std towards to sort of elegant hyper-definition that was Zane’s hallmark. That’s not to take anything away from Zane; just an observation.
#22,
Sure. But, for me, as a bodybuilder, Frank Zane is the ideal simply because my frame is similar to his. Also, maybe I’m naive, but I like to think that Frank Zane was all about achieving one’s genetic potential through nutrition alone.
Does Zane actually claim as much? If so, he must have “extra-terrestial” “genetics” to have gotten those “cuts”. I’ve been pushing the iron with intensity for 2.5 years now and recently got down to 8.5% BF and, while I look good, I don’t look like that. Maybe I need to grow the beard?
#24,
Not exactly, but he was probably the first bodybuilders to experiment with supplements and diet.
2.5 years? Be patient. I’ve been at it for nearly 20 years and I’m almost there.
since we’re on the topic of peter size, perhaps someone can refresh my memory. I recall about a year ago, when the whole johnson size topic was being discussed, someone proposed some faux-science-ish anthropology-ish theory that having a larger peen is a sign that one’s ancesters were barbaric or something like that, and that a smaller erection size is a complement to one’s heritage. I believe the argument was built partiallly on some reasoning about a gorilla’s wang. Can anyone remember this talk and/or point me to the post?
the other thing I wanted to say is, me dick, big dick, fat dick, long dick. Look at me. Look at my dick.
Some Guy:
If you’re a fan of Zane’s explorations into nutrition and (non-steroid) supps in relation to body building/weight training, you might find Lyle McDonald’s work interesting. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/. He needs an editor, but his work is way above average and genuinely science-based.
Maybe you’re thinking of Lee Hoi-chang. He always reminds me of the Martians in Mars Attacks!
Brendon:
you should meet his son – the one who supposedly starved himself into an exemption from military service. I see him quite often these days, and he does look like one of those martians – and his sleeps-on-a-chalkledge physique strongly suggests that he didn’t have to diet to get his exemption. He’s either got an eating disorder, the metabolism of a small rodent or is just genetically disadvantaged in a way that well justified his exemption.
