        That is seriously generous. 4 Gs is a HEAP of cash that can make a significant impact for a lot of people, orgs, situations.. to be willing to donate it to SBAF to throws some big ballz headphones on a tour is pretty damn cool.

        @Eric_C: Really just hanging for dear life. I think going from 1 to 2 is the most difficult. Lots of forearm and hand muscles first need development. I think from 4, I can hit 10 quickly. I also hit rowing machines and did curls. But pulls strain the ligaments so much more.

        Take it easy Marv. Shoulders are easy to get injured and as we get older, harder to recover. When I go running (not often as I would like), I try to run comfy and not strain myself too much even if I can do more.

        Forced my wife to watch them all recently - HAH! It had some great potential but fell flat in character development especially the relationships b/w the characters. Doom was pretty terrifying at least even though we learned nothing about him. 2005 one was awful but imo better than 2015!

        When a bull kills a matador, they kill the bull and kill the bull's mama - to make sure bulls with DNA that can kill matadors are never passed down.

        Something like that. What I remember is that if a bull hits a matador it cannot be used again in a match. One of my grandfathers cared about bull-fighting big time. My father and I not so much. Though I've been to a bull-fight. On the up side of things, I think Lidia bulls have a nicer time than most cows that make it to Burger-King. Being almost anything except human kind of sucks these days.

        Mamasita for Mexican (tacos are great)
        Cumulus Inc for poached eggs, Cumulus Up for dry aged steak
        DOC Pizza for...pizza. Truffle pizza is a mushroom lover's dream.

        Top Paddock for ricotta hotcakes
        Mart 130 for brunch in a quaint setting (converted tram station master's house! Still works as a tram stop too). Corn fritters here are great.

        When you're in Sydney, visit Single Origin Roasters for coffee and food.
