Arnold Schwarzenegger Needs Your Help With His Autobiography

From Ahnold's Facebook page, a plea for your help:

I need your help. I have been working on my book, Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, for quite a while now, and later today we are having a brainstorming session to talk about themes, stories, and ideas I might have missed. A million minds are better than a few, so I'm asking you to let me know: what do you want to hear about? What themes in my life? Are their any stories you really want to hear? Give me your ideas. You can all consider yourselves my co-writers.

Go help the man out—right after you read Reason's Arnold Schwarzenegger-tastic cover story on governors who spend a lot of money. And our full Arnold archive.

FUCKED!

Remember to mention the groping.

[Gojira]

I actually think it's an interesting idea.

I'm not sure he's prepared for the deluge of stupid jokes he's going to get, though. Speaking of which, I need to go submit some dumb, vulgar things to his website that I want to "know" about.

[Mint Berry Crunch]

I'd ask, of all the Arnold screams he's done in his movies, what is his favorite?

Then I'd want to know which of his quotable quotes he liked best. Hopefully he'd be more original than to answer "I'll be back."

[Kaptious Kristen]

Most of those are more like grunts & groans than screams.

Hmmm, where did my comment go? Did the spam filter fairy remove it? WTF?

[Brandybuck]

Well I' not going to type it all in again. You're just going to have to imagine a very witty and insightful musing. Or perhaps whitey and inciteful. Whatever.

[Pip]

+1 would read again.

[CockGobbla]

1) The "cumming" quote from Pumping Iron.
2) Jingle All Ze Way
3) Last Action Hero
4) Anal with Maria? Just askin'.
5) Jesse Ventura: Savior of America?

Arnold,
Please give detailed confessions of all the crimes you've committed while in office. Name names!

[Pip]

Arnold, just how tiny is your steroid marinated junk?

[Kaptious Kristen]

That would be my question. With before & after pics.

[Fist of Etiquette]

"Are any of these hetero?"

[BakedPenguin]

"Vats there is there."

[BakedPenguin]

Also - "My mighty heart is breaking. Maria, I'll be in zee Humvee."

[Tim Cavanaugh]

For some reason, the Arnold moment that looms largest for me was when he was flogging a universal health care plan for Cullyfawnia with an individual mandate, and I asked what the punishment would be for people who didn't buy insurance. He said we shouldn't focus on punishment because, "We need to change the mentality of people."

That and when he punched the camel in Conan.

[Warty]

Let off some steam, Cavanaugh.

[Episiarch]

You're a funny guy, Tim. I like you. That's why I'm going to answer your question last.

[A Serious Man]

We all know Arnold is an expert at oncology. It's not a toomah!

[Warty]

Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired.

[Warty]

Let's say you train your biceps

[wareagle]

so basically "I want to put my name on a book, call it an autobiography, but I want you to write the actual stories so you will then buy the book to read them." Don King was right - only in America.

[Marty Feldman's Eyes]

What themes in my life?

"Your life could have been a fairy tail immigrant rags to riches movie star story; how does it feel to have shat all over that by capping it off with a hubris fueled total failure of a political career?"

[Scarecrow Repair]

If you could do the governator role all over again, would you hire a better script writer, one who kept continuity with the movie roles, so you would maybe veto a bill now and again instead of just flapping your jaws and moving on to the next photo op? Ya know ... no one would have remembered "I'll be back" if you hadn't actually, you know, come back.
