We see the Fictional Hand Camarilla is now pushing the Ivanko Super Gripper. (We are treated to a photo of the self-appointed guru closing it at an easy setting, truly the fictional way. ;) ) If you are going to buy, we recommend PDA. It's less expensive and they are a sponsor of the GripBoard. Save your Visa card from a painful reaming. ;)

Buy your IVANKO SUPER GRIPPER HERE.

Self Loathing

What the frig is it with that Darden Site? If you pull out the inane stream of consciousness drivel of the "Retired NFL Strength Coach", you are left with thread after thread that ends up in the ball sack buffing of Casey Viator. People that was over 30 years ago, and he had his most success as a Weider boy. Get over it.
