Bodybuilding, Florida, life, and beyond

I’ve finished entering all the available information from the official NPC schedule and the promoters’ show sites into my online schedule. Even with my handy “class typewriter” it was a big job. :)

I also added a couple of features, including adding the venue names to the addresses, making the address info a little smaller, new host hotel information and the ability to click on a promoter’s name to email them. (If an email bounces, please let me know and I’ll validate it.)

In addition I added a couple of “behind the scenes” features for my own use, such as driving notes and whether I plan on going or not and why (usually distance or schedule conflict).

For what it’s worth, I also try to keep a consistent hierarchy in the order of the show classes. Don’t read any implications into the orders.

Class order:
Bodybuilding
Physique
Fitness
Figure
Bikini

Subclass order:
Open
Novice
Teen
Masters
Special categories (First Time Novice, e.g.)

Other patterns:
Men’s classes before equivalent women’s classes (again, don’t read any implications into the orders.)

I think that helps organize a LOT of free-form information into something a little more readable.

Never start an argument with a drunken auctioneer.

Last night on Dennis Miller’s radio show he gave a call-in guest a hard time for making a slightly obscure reference to the Sochi Olympics and missing doorknobs.

Miller didn’t like it and good-naturedly labelled the fellow as addled or under influence.

Did you get that? Dennis Miller gave someone grief for making an obscure reference.

That’s as ironic as a Sandinista parachutist blowing pink smoke back down the Papal vestments.

All I ask is for an f/.75 lens with a flawless 10-500 zoom for about fifty bucks.

Now is that SO unreasonable??

According to a documentary by Tex Avery, the fox say “Cheerio” and “Pip-pip” and other phrases common to British middle aristocracy.

I wish people would do just a little research before causing a panic.

I have invented the perfume tattoo.

Now at last I can beat some scents into people.

I would like to help the needy, to feed the hungry, to teach the world to sing.

But robbing someone to accomplish this is still a sin and a crime– if I can’t persuade them to help, I will do only what I can.
