&lt;p&gt;Andy as an arm wrestling truck driver is strangely fitting. I don’t question this at all.

This is the best facebook app ever! It’s like they really know me! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The facebook poll for that Bally’s Total Fitness shoot I did a while back is finally up. So if you take the quiz as a male (regardless of if you are or not), you’ll get to see my lovely face at the end. It’s going to be a bit weird if I see myself on random people’s facebook profiles.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Edit: Take &lt;a href="http://zackgil.com/f" target="_blank"&gt;the quiz&lt;/a&gt; yourself.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://zackgilbert.tumblr.com/post/235133636</link><guid>http://zackgilbert.tumblr.com/post/235133636</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:02:00 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>fun. - All The Pretty Girls
