What the hell is wrong with that guys arm, It looks like it's filled with tumors or something.

That guy did roids with dirty needles and he thought the infections growing in his arms looked good so he let them grow until his arms "exploded"

Oh yeah, I remember that guy from tv or something. He found out it was infected and instead of going to a hospital, he did surgery on himself in the bathroom and drained like 16 papertowels-worth of blood only to find out he wasn't doing any good. Fuckin nasty.

That's gregg valentino and no, that's not from dirty needles. You're arm can't do that from steroids, if it could then more people would be walking around like that, don't you think? The fact is, Gregg used a hardening oil called synthol that is injected then forms a large clot that replicates size. This clot can obstruct blood flow, which happened to valentino, and he had to release the pressure from his arm before it exploded so he took a knife to it. Stupid stuff if you ask me, but people still do it.

Bodybag shirts will NOT be for sale at NYJ.

They will be available only as prizes.

I got them printed @ Zazzle.com so the art should look exactly like my original sketch. They were more expensive to produce and the image fades faster than a silk screened shirt (which I would have prefered) and I wouldn't feel right at this time to charge anything for a less than ideal product so I got a limited number made and they'll be available as prizes to competitors.

Aside from the formal 4-square comp, I'll have courts, shirts and footbags that players can win through various 4-square & 2-square challenges geared towards non squares players. For example, I have 2 highly coveted Jeremy Mirken footbags that have never been played with and are barely handled. Now it's a damn shame that these freestyle bags are sitting on my desk being admired for their 32 panels of facile perfection and not being use for what they are intended for, so I am willing to give one of them to any freestyler who can win the as-of-yet-to-be-determined challenge. I waited a long time to get these bags to add to my collection and I'm not simply going to give one away. Needless to say, this will be a difficult challenge.

More details to come.

That's a cool idea Zeke. I was really looking forward to buying one though, especially since a contest I held induced the idea.

Oh well, I'll try real hard to win!

Don't even try it. Neither guilt nor arm twisting work on Zeke.

Finally, a week or so before leaving I have actually purchased my tickets!

I am a hall of fame procrastinator. Anyway, I will be arriving in the early afternoon on Dec 26th, and leaving on the 2nd, again in the early afternoon.

I will be in the hotel room with Fletch, Emily, and others, but I am looking for a place to stay a day or so before and after the event. I'll call around and see what I can hook up for myself.
