Okay, I've managed to confuse people with my recent posting. Let me
be more clear.
*I* was not featured in MuscleMag International. Anyone who has met
me knows that I'm a bit too skinny for that kind of thing.
I recently received e-mail from a KLI member named Pillow (that's her
name, she's a bodybuilder and exotic dancer). SHE said:
-- begin quote --
"Also i wanted to mention how mortified I was to read a blurb in
December's MuscleMag International (p 256) stating I was an AUTHORITY
on Klingon language. Egads, I said no such thing! I guess the mundanes
assumed such as I was ATTEMPTING to translate the lyrics of the show
our group was forced to dance to by the choreographer from hell ..."
-- end quote--
I've since looked at the magazine on the newsstand. (It's pink and
white and is apparently sime sort of swimsuit edition, if you're
looking for it). The part on Pillow was a one-liner in a "news from
all over" kind of article. I didn't buy the magazine.
It seems that a reporter encountering a bodybuilder who has enough
mental muscle to be trying to translate Spice Girls lyrics into an
alien tongue while posing and dancing was impressed enough to call her
an authority.
