buddy's house when he moved in had an old basement that was out of the 70s. complete with bar big fireplace and shag carpet on the floor, and halfway up the walls.

I grew up with carpet in my toilet. My mates had it in theirs. I even slept in one once because the floor was warm and cozy!

I think the invention of cheap synthetic-fiber carpeting made everyone a little crazy in the 70's.

Herculon, baby!

6'1, 7' ceiling, if that. The garage works fine, if a little cold and occasionally wet.

Easy fix: dig a pit to stand in for pressing (and rack pulls and such).

If it's good enough for Paul Anderson...

Yep.

Dastardly! You make the uk out to be this ass backwards place OR you just disagree because you are one of those types.

When we only had one set of bumpers at the gym we had this guy who would always come in and load up all of them for squats even though the irons were on the rack to use. It was always when I needed them. Always.

Even though I work in a massively expensive and upmarket gym I found out that a whole set of bumper plates and eight kettle bells were stolen yesterday!

Crapper Carpeting?

This is one of those unfortunate but hilarious differences between British and American English. In AE, "in the toilet" usually means "in the toilet bowl", not in the room that contains the toilet.

How can you guys have a bathroom without a bath in it?

No, Dastardly. You've got it all wrong. A bathroom has a bath in it. It's a half bathroom that doesn't have a bath in it. However, in the common vernacular, we call both bathrooms and half bathrooms bathrooms. Make sense now?
