However, I can one-up you. I knew of John Mikl when he was a 17-year-old bodybuilder from Vancouver (NOT Toronto or Ottawa), and I watched, amused and entertained over the years as he started and perfected his Thor act in our town.

As for gayness, well, he’s married and divorced, and, guess what, recently come out of retirement, and The Mighty Thor is back touring this very moment!

How does one inadvertently discover a talent for blowing up douchebags?

here’s how…first he’d romance babs, you know a few drinks, look at some money in a big bowl, she’d nod at l’il george herbert and he’d scuttle under the sheets. a minute later, she’d cuff his ear, “suck. don’t blow.”

and now i feel so very unclean.

Incidentally, Carol Burnett was fond of the Thor joke in which Thor rides up on his winged horse hollering “I’m Thor!” and she replies “well, that’s because you forgot your thaddle, thilly.”
