Isn't that Arnie Schwarzenegger's native region? Maybe he can help?

YesAllTruthHurts No, I think Arnie is from the country of the flame-farting cat, Styria.

codis Steiermark, right! Although I have been in Austria many times, I always had troubles with the location of the states. Tirol and Upper Austria, were we had family like ties never gave me troubles. :-)

Zen Arnie kan help Kärnten as naytif Steiermarker.

YesAllTruthHurts I wouldn't count on him.

Didn't I see him last year in a suicide shot ad, were he pretended getting the shot in a car and then told us to do the same (only for real) ?

I suppose he is more of the "Let them have cake !" - type.

codis I have zero admiration for this guy. He will always be Conan, with the required intellectual capabilities of this role - none. Bavarians always made fun about him. They called him "all muscles - no brain". He kicked off an anabolica trend, though. Lots of people thought "I can do that, too!"

Bavarians always made fun about him. They called him "all muscles - no brain".

It requires some dedication and stamina, though.

Albeit, I believe most of the bodybuilders have a self-image problem, to put it mildly. And that includes Arnold.

I still remember legendary gaffes of athletes in TV interviews, mostly football players (soccer). My dad used to watch that stuff. Good reflexes and instincts are not related to the level of rational thought, as it seems.

And Arnie is no exception. Not sure if it's just the success of the Conan figure, or other nefarious stuff that opened the door to the (lower) political establishment for him. As MSM actor and script-reader he beats the hell out of Sleepy Joe ...
