    @Dormouse II: The Wrath of Gryphon: I did do a ginormous post about Arnie a couple months back, which nobody read because it was like a whole book. This is distilled down to its essence, plus I've realy rethought the true nature of Arnie's acting greatness. Like the fact that he is able to be manly in a yellow unitard, something I forgot to mention last time.

    @Charlie Jane Anders: My gods, you've really, really thought this post through, didn't you? That's pretty sweet.


    Funny thing is, I just Netflix'd The Running Man barely a month ago, and his sheer testosterone levels in that one completely mitigated the fact that yes, that is one bright canary yellow one piece body condom.

    Any discussion of Arnie's acting that doesn't include his Conan movies is woefully inadequate. OK, it's not technically Sci-Fi...

    i would follow arnie's lead in the sixth day. if a clone of myself, body and mind as in the film, was having sex with my wife i would do the only logical thing: join forces with my clone to have a threesome with my wife. what better purpose could their possibly be for human cloning.

    @Grrsn Dn & ManchuCandidate: i was opperating under the assumption that i wasn't in control of the cloning and just found myself sexing my wife a la the film.


    obviously if i can clone anyone i want as many times as i want there'd be dozens of both of us all at the same time.


    and maybe a sheep or two.

    @tetracycloide: Again, I gotta go with just one me and a dozen wives. Maybe one more me so I can tag team when I get tired, but honestly I'd rather just politely ask for a clone of Bruce Willis so I knew that my wife was in good hands while I was taking a breather.
