The Former Shaper's "Gym"

In Hipperholme, Halifax. Situated on the A58 road, opposite Hipperholme Grammar.

Infamous for the lack of equiptment, deficiency of money invested and the owner, DIRTY LIN.

If you ever previously went to this lame excuse for a gym, i feel sorry for you.

If you have ever encountered Dirty Lin, possibly the most horrible person you will encounter, i feel sorry for you.

The best piece of news from this sh*t hole, was the closement of it last November.

The building still stands to this day. And although dirty Lin is long gone, the memories will haunt those who have experienced.

Jim 'The Hammer' Shapiro

Jim 'The Hammer' Shapiro is a Rochester, NY lawyer well known for his outrageous advertising. His tag line is "I may be an SOB, but I'm your SOB." In his advertisings he angrily smashed his fist into his open hand, making the motion of a hammer. He admits that while he "cannot rip the hearts out of those who hurt you. I cannot hand you their severed heads. But I can hunt them down and settle the score."

Shapiro no longer advertises in Rochester. The community found out that he lives in Florida and has not tried a case in NY, or even lived in NY, for over 10 years.

Shapiro was sanctioned with a $1.9 million verdict for legal malpractice for a case where he settled a case for $65,000 without ever meeting with the client whose injuries from a car crash exceeded that settlement.

Why the fuck is Joey such a shapeshifter? He is an asshole to me, he acts like an idiot around Michael, pretends to be serious around Amanda, and an emo around Brandon. How many different personalities can this poser really have?
