I'm sure Trygve wouldn't mind owning you personally as well if you give him a chance. :D


Ok I read it... so Trygve really is in the business he claimed to be in. I still call shens on the Eastern European girl serving steak, giving massages and doing woodworking in a bikini in his yard or whatever.

EDIT: And he's still an attention whore...

-Max
Seems like your the wanker who's giving him all the attention.

That's because I am insanely jealous.

I knew the truth would come out eventually.

Let me get this straight.

A chick you haven't seen in years stops by to cook you a steak dinner and give you a massage.

I won't go so far as to claim nasty brown shit, but there sure do seem to be huge holes in that story. The cynic in me is skeptical.

DUDE!

Never doubt Trygve, unless you want to end up owned to the max like Nik was.

Poor Nik :(


Whatever I'm sticking to my SHENS call.

Alright, don't say I didn't warn you.


No matter how you spin it... there's AT LEAST some exaggeration and embelishment goin on here....
Because he got a dinner and a massage last night?

My cynical skepticism comes from the failure to mention a "happy ending" to the story. The chick didn't come over to cook him dinner and give him a massage and then leave. I mean, really... who does that?

I *work* with martial arts masters, and some of them can do some pretty amazing things, but I'm not one myself. If I do something amazing, it's only going to be after several takes, the careful selection of camera angles and positions, and a decent amount of editing. I do fighting for the stage and camera which, despite the superficial similarities, is almost the opposite of fighting for real. (Think of the difference between "pro wrestling" and a real street fight; one of these is a kind of "sleight of hand" that creates the illusion of a fight.)

Certainly I've spent a lot of time working on martial arts techniques, but that's pretty much limited to "here's the style and the particular moves we need you to do in this movie" which is not at all what you would want to do if you were really trying to master a particular martial arts discipline.

(Oh, and I've never ironed my jeans. Offhand, I can't recall the last time I ironed anything.)

Turns out she's studying massage at the moment and she could use some practice. Sure; I could be talked into that.

You, my friend, have the best female friends EVER.

Those are actually woman's jeans. He has said he wears them in past threads
You know, when you hear a guy say that he "wants to get in her pants"... I don't think that's quite what they meant by that.

Around 7:00 last night, I'd finished up with the admin stuff that had been on my "to do" list for the day and the phone rang. (Not unusual in itself, but usually this fortells another last-minute addition to the day's "to do" list.) It was a friend of mine that I hadn't heard from in a couple of years and she wanted to drop by. Sure, that'd be great; be nice to see you again.

She shows up about half an hour later...with steak (and other fixings, which is a good thing because my fridge contained only fat-free cheese and some diet soda) and whips up dinner. We have dinner, which is very nice, and then she goes back out to her car and brings in...a portable massage table.

Turns out she's studying massage at the moment and she could use some practice. Sure; I could be talked into that.

Which is where we got to the "you're huge!" part after I'd gotten undressed. I said, "yeah, I hear that a lot when I take off my pants." ;)

I gather she's only worked on people a lot smaller than I am up to this point. I'm not enough of an expert on these things to know just how much this changes things, but I can imagine how working on someone who is just physically larger and (perhaps more significantly) has a lot more muscle mass than you're used to would be a bit different. If nothing else, it adds to the complexity of getting situated on the massage table--I settle for letting my feet and ankles hang out into space; that was a lot more comfortable than having my head and neck off of the other end.

I guess one side effect of being larger is that it takes longer to get the full massage treatment--more area to cover and maybe larger muscles take more work. I'm not complaining about that one either.

Made for a late night, but I didn't have to go anywhere this morning anyway. Wonder if I'll get any more surprises today?
holy sh*t.... brag much?

No pics, but if it helps with the mental image, she's a slender-but-busty blonde with a northeastern European background. Looks very, very good in a bikini.

Which I know because there was a time years ago when she asked if she could come over and use my tools...and when she got here, she changed into a very small bikini and spent the afternoon working on a woodworking project on my back driveway. Some pictures from that day would have been interesting, especially for fans of bikini-clad women wielding large power tools.

This post leads me to believe that you are full of smelly nasty brown sh!t. That doesnt happen in real life... and you certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to not know what was going on.

Okay, okay, so I glossed over one minor detail: slim, busty blonde in a minimalist bikini (I remember quite vividly the lack of material in the back; it was quite, um, eye-catching) wielding large vibrating power tools.


Sure, there were more things that happened in the months after the day of woodworking, but that particular story ends with me at the airport, dressed up and carrying a huge bouquet of exotic flowers and some kind of gift--I forget what--to meet her at the gate (back then you could do that); then she got off the plane and told me that she'd met someone else and gotten engaged while she'd been on the trip. :(

But I still have the power tools.


I call shens on your whole freakin identity. This smells like nowheremom.

Not familiar with nowheremom. I'm not making anything up, but I'm not all that interesting either. I'm just another techno-geek on the net, though I've been knocking around the net since long before there was a world-wide-web.

Your airport story sounds like a Friends episode, that must've been a real downer. Who gets engaged on a trip???

Dragon and the Hawk was the only one that did any theatrical distribution (that I know of).

Odds are that the first I'll know about some of these things is by seeing them in the dollar DVD bin, and it probably won't even have the same name as it did when they were filming it. Spotless just came out, but I did FX work on that one and didn't end up with any camera time in the end; same with "The Surfer King," but I ended up doing behind-the-scenes videography on that film as well as being on the stunt team. Backslash will probably be out pretty soon, and I'll be on the posters for that one, which is always nice. (One time I didn't even know that I was the main figure on the poster until I saw it and the ads that were in the newspapers.)

I'm not a big "name" talent by any means, but I enjoy it, and when the movies actually do get completed and distributed (which often takes years for an independently-produced film), that's a bonus.

I think its fat

1. He said "I guess one side effect of being larger". No muscular person will say they are large.
2. Muscular person would probably get laid all the time. A little massage won't have as much effect ;)

No offence :)

Hey, who cares if it's big name as long as YOU are having fun and it pays the bills. Seeing your house and the equipment that you have, it seems that you are doing pretty well for yourself :p

The only real highlight is watching the lead bad guy try to act. He grimaces, and googles his eyes at the camera as if it's supposed to impart some kind of meaning to his flat monotone. He looks like he has some strange medical condition, which resulted in everyone who watched the movie with me breaking into laughter every time he appeared onscreen.

I laughed after reading this one.
