Media Coverage for the VSG and a St. Paddy's Partay!

Postby Jeff Storey on Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:02 am

Here's a link to a story in the Northern Virginia Daily about my school's Anglo-Celtic Club. We're hosting an event Friday night to celebrate St. Patrick's day without green beer and plastic tophats.

In my defense, please note that I am wearing dress shoes, and my right foot is sliding forward and I'm trying not end up on my ass in 6inches of mud. Also, I told him to let me warm up a little, before he started taking pics. That's my first throw! Goldurnit!! :x I did manage to get a couple nice throws, but nooo, they pick that one.
and for the article, I just tried to get a pitch in for the VSG, and preface the events....ya'll know how that goes :roll:

I actually think it is a sweet pic if you disregard the state of your lower body. The Hammer in line with you arm and the steel head right in the lens . . .sweet.

I think he means it in the technical sense. The way I do when I refer to my own "biceps". You know, the area where they would be if we had them. :cry:

yeah, biceps is just a technical term for the thing that bends my elbow which I have never seen. you know, kindof like some guys' necks? :lol:

BJ, lay it on me, Big Bro.

The thing last night was pretty cool, the dancers were great, and the music was chill. but NObody showed up. I was dumping coolers of ice and a lady said, "I would help you, but you look really strong, and I saw that pic of you in the paper."
so, I guess you can look "really strong" without biceps. sweet.

With your permission Jeff, I may be able to shed light on this whole "Jeff does/does not have biceps debate."

We all know that the fetus is a developing human organism. Organs and their respective systems have there own rate of development. I think it simply a matter of time when Jeffey's biceps are fully developed. I say this because he demonstrated that he has had a significant growth in testosterone when he stepped up big in the "WOB for Beverages Hustle" last saturday. With this latest development, I think it is safe to say, hang in there Jeffey your biceps may be coming sooner than you think!
