Sorry I mispelled Wherdum. I know somebody who trained in Militech camp and trained with Tim Sylvia and he said he was a jerk. In fact he said most the guys there were jerks.

Were you at Parliment, or trapped in his house while he shouted "Perkele Vittu!" while pointing a gun at the police?

i saw chuck liddell at a distance in an airport. he was gone by the time i made it through security.

other than that, no UFC fighters, but i did meet a guy at buffalo wild wings who said he was training to be on TUF where he would "introduce all those other pussies to his fist dick". i believe him too, he was wearing a tapout shirt and had a mohawk and everything.

Texas preachers are average people?

I once saw Wanderlei Silva. My girlfriend chatted to him. I just stood there, slack jawed & fanboy style until he smiled at me. Then I cried. It was awesome.

Just chillin' in the center of Helsinki some years ago, so unfortunately no for the latter. Would have made good money with pics and stories with that one otherwise :P

First thing Halme did as a parliment member was calling our president a lesbian the first day he got the job. After the 2003 gun incident he was admitted to a hospital, got rid of booze and drugs and turned christian, in 2006 got warned off after talking mean things about pedophiles in a parliment session ("their balls should be cut off, stuck up their arses and be sent to prison for the rest of their lives").

Later that year he drank himself to near death and was sent to psychic ward. To top it all he was convicted of drunk driving later that year too.

As a parliment member he broke pretty much all his promises he made as a candidate for parliment and finally entered the peaceful life of a pensioner in 2007 at the early age of 44.

Quite the working class hero, eh?
