I have my reasons brah
Dude you were missed for sure, but fear not we are going to keep doing this!
Man all OS wears is shorts and sandals, I don't know how the hell he does it! When I asked him, what about when you have to go to place where you have to dress up, his response? I just don't go to those places!On the list for Bannukah

Gotta give my man, Dave, a shout out. He's the "smallest" guy in the pic, but the dude is a giant irl. Full blooded Japanese, but as American as, well, most of us here. He fought liver cancer for nearly 3 years, doing chemo for over two. Several surgeries having tumors removed..... Being his closest friend, you can imagine the conversations we shared during that period. It was rough...and I mean really rough. He asked me to be the executor of his will....if that gives you an idea of what I'm saying. Long story short, he beat it and competed in BBing (his 3rd time) and won his class just one year after this. He is one of the closest friends I've ever had. They don't get any better than Dave/Satoshi.

Damn, Kevin, that got me a little choked up reading that. That's an awesome story of perseverance.
Everyone needs a friend like that; unfortunately, I don't have one, and I doubt many people do.
It'd be cool to further the shout out by posting his trophy pic or a link to it. I, for one, would be interested.

Thanks Matt. I would have to ask him for the pics. He actually is a member here, but hasn't posted for many, many years. The dude actually looks like Bolo when he's not cut. He came to workout with me one day (my home gym) shortly after getting clear from "all that", and the fckr blows up like you've never seen muscle memory! Genetics! I've never kept it a secret here that I'm not the kinda guy that would ever pose on a stage (I hope this is taken in proper context....it's just not me), but I attended a couple of the shows/comps he was involved in, just to support him. And I swear to gawd (John & Geoff can attest to this), I told them in front of Dave that I actually asked him if he was secretly ghey in the late 80's....when I learned he was shaving his legs . It's just foreign to me....my upbringing...you know?

Yep, when worlds collide!
Madison will never be the same! Never been to Wisconsin, so this could be fun.
Friends equally call him either. Most use "David", some call him Satoshi (his birth name)....but I long ago earned the right to call him "Dave", damn it ."If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

Trust me, I am pretty sure I AM close minded on this. And seriously, I admire all of you folks who can do this. It's just not "me", that's all. Despite leading a fairly "epic" life, I'm really a very "reserved" person. When I was into running and you were there as well, I had great respect for that. You were killing it in lifting AND running.
I hope that wasn't a serious question, Matt. If you'll recall what I posted, it was in the 80's when I asked him that.....and I didn't even start lifting in earnest until the mid 2000's. IOW, I was very ignorant of what BBer's do."If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

Thanks for the props, seriously. I know this stuff isn't for everyone.

Cool, you get me on this. And I meant it. I knew you were hard core real back then. Hell, I was jealous that you were kicking my a$$ in running time
Firstly, your name never came up. Secondly, BH is a stand-up kinda guy. We DID talk about a few folks here (how could we not? lol), but I can only speak for myself on this; Matt is one cool mthr fckr, as much as I know you."If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying."

OS is without question, the strongest of the 3 of us. BH is more into BBing....and I never was. Strength training, but I liked the side results. OS is more like me in this respect, and I know he's one strong mo-fo Pollack. Did I mention that he could slam a few drinks?

Been there once (M/St. Paul). My favorite great aunt lived there (and I had five!)...and she was a nun. Can't make this up.....went to see her at her convent. She passed away back in the late 80's. The woman joined the convent when she was 15....and she was always my favorite great aunt.

Yeah you did write some off the wall gay sh!t one time (I forgot what it was) and I said, f'cking Matt is gay on another site as I was banned from here at the time. But then you said you wasn't and that was that, I never thought about it again.
And yes as DBX stated, although we did talk about some folks on here, some good some bad, your name was not mentioned at all.
Will do, but be ready to see some fireworks.On the list for Bannukah
