Roundhouse into the sidekick

I went to the annual LA Fitness Expo by myself because no one else could make it and I'm hardcore like that. I love getting more free samples than I know what to do with.

UFC referee Herb Dean was there.

RYAN: That was a bad call-- (his face falls) I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But how many times have fans tried to tell you that before?
HERB: Never! I take that seriously! I'm going home! [Storms off]

And then he came back to reveal he was joking. He got me there. He made out a free autographed pic of himself to me. He's starting his own referee school because apparently the athletic state commissions are now requiring referees to be certified.

UFC fighter Bar Nam Phan was walking around as a fan.

RYAN: I like your fighting style. I like that roundhouse into the sidekick (in his match against Leonard Garcia).
BAR NAM PHAN: ...
RYAN: You know what I'm talking about?
BAR NAM PHAN: Yeah ... It was an accident.

Well, El-Oh-El.

RYAN: I'll be looking for another roundhouse into a sidekick.
BAR NAM PHAN: Roundhouse, side kick, [does a spin kick] ...

And then I made a startling discovery. I introduced myself to this dude that rockstar David and I met last year. SInce then, I've seen him frequent GNC. All this time he was actually indy pro-wrestler The Awesome Plague without his mask, or "Shannon" as he insists.

It seems like I see former gym assistant manager Candace working at the Expo every year. She's back in my database.

Later at the mall, annoying chick (a.k.a. my stalker) at Hot Topic spotted me when I was on my way to meet up with mommy to have dinner at Granville. But Leah was working. She's renewed in my database.
