Today I Salute You…


…Mr. Over-Zealous Weight-Room Grunter.

Mr. Over-Zealous Weight-Room Grunter

On a base full of Marines, in a combat zone, inside a gym, you still feel the need to exert yourself as the alpha-male. You let us all know who’s in charge, just by the majesty of your orgasmic howl. There are times when regular breathing just won’t do, and you know exactly how to kick it up a notch: huffing and swearing like an asthmatic Turrets patient. Oh yeah. Can’t finish those last few reps? Better let Al Anbar province know with an earsplitting obscenity. Yeah, you’ll teach’em…whoever they are, Mr. Over-Zealous Weight-Room Grunter. They won’t cross you again, lest they befall the wrath of all 64 inches of your stature. Today I salute you, O’ fitness fanatic of Camp Grizzly. Because anybody can lift weights without making a scene; it takes a hero to scream and shout like a rabid Richard Simmons.

Midnight,

“scream and shout like a rabid Richard Simmons”…..would this be like, “sound and fury signifying nothing”? With a tip of the helmet to Macbeth of course!

I wouldn’t say nothing, just not as much as Mr. OZWRG thinks it does. BTW, Good quote! You’re adding some Shakespearical depth to my shallow mind.

I can’t be sure, but I think he’s trying to say, “Today I Salute You Mr. Over-Zealous Weight-Room Grunter.” :-)

When I was reading through this the theme to the “Real men of genious” commercials started playing through my head. lol. Monica got a good chuckle too.

Would be a great Saturday Night Live parody.

I bet he’s related to Mr. I Wear Too Much Gear When I Play City League Softball Guy.
