No, its not a pair of used Dave Palumbos posing trunks...LOL....

Porter Cottrell is one of my oldest and best friends.....When he was still competing, a fan took this picture at the Mr. Olympia in Helsinki, Finland. Somehow, the fan got Porters address and sent the picture to him. Later on, Porter gave the picture to me, and I had it blown up into an 8x10, with the idea of having Labrada and Shawn sign it also. I took two copies of it to the Arnold a few years ago. When I saw Lee Labrada, he loved it....I told him the story, but he was in disagreement that the picture was taken in Helsinki. Anyhow, he liked it so much, I gave him the extra copy I had with me. Then, when Shawn signed it, he confirmed that it was indeed in Helsinki, and he had a method he could use to tell what year a picture was taken.....I'll let him explain that when he sees this....LOL...
Anyhow, this is the end result...

Funny thing was, they each thought that they were better than the other in the picture...Of course.....LOL....

I forgot something....I posted this on another board where Shawn posts, so I expected him to chime in on how he knew what year the picture was taken...Anyhow, Lee wore black trunks every year....Shawn wore a different color every year, so he could look at a picture and tell what year it was taken....Even though its in black and white, I guess it told him enough he could confirm the year....LOL
