He plays the Terminator theme in th background.

Painful copyright infringement and inferiority complex aside, this guy really wants to love himself.

Yep, there were at least 5 images of the main character from the Hitman series as well as a poorly doctored photo of Trinity from the matrix. Its like the thinks he's in the movie or the game or some sort of twisted delusion of grandeur; I say we encourage it to the fullest of comical results.

Seconded. He also appears to be on steroids, as that muscle definition is suspiciously Ultimate Warrior-y. Can we find someone pudgy to pound him out?

How much money does everyone think it would take to get Roy Nelson to do the job?

It's only a matter of time before he tries to molest someone. Or something.
Watch the local news.

Is the Carlson cert too blurry to read most of for anybody else?

I need to call Junior this week about something else, so I can ask him if he's ever heard of the guy unless somebody else wants to do it.

It is very hard to read. That may be intentional or not. I haven't heard back form the Rilion School where he claims to have trained. However, I only emailed them. I'll give it some more time then call them. Sometime MA schools take a while to reply to email.

If you actually know Carlson Jr. asking him would be awesome.

I'm affiliated with him. Great guy, great teacher. Happily, he's supposed to be in California this week, so it should even be possible to talk to him, which is touch and go with how much he travels.

I'd especially like to see what he has to say about his dad's name being on a certification that was issued AFTER he died.

It looks to me like the signature on it is somebody else's... David K-something is my best guess, with the title "Certified Instructor."

Since Carlson Senior's name is printed on there, and it's so relatively soon after he passed away, it might just be a sort of paperwork lag... I get the impression things were pretty disorganized for about a year after Senior passed away, but hard to say.
