Born naked in the wheat fields of Grasswood, Saskatchewan, Tyson always disliked pants, so much so that he refused to don knickers until he brutally crashed during a massif front-side-360-Judo. Transforming tragedy into sweet fortune, Tyson wiped off his pussing thighs, relocated his kneecap, and noticed he had just turned over 263.4 kms on his skateboard odometer. He smiled; a future in endurance sport beckoned; and to prove himself worthy, he cracked 265-even on his way home. |

Favorite Quotations |
"I thoroughly dissaprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him." "Why do strong arms fatigue themselves with frivolous dumbbells? To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men." |
