This is a [funny video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LUv3kbmNfg) made to help solicit donations to Schwarzenegger’s ten year old _After School All Stars_ program. Looks like Arnold hasn’t lost a step. Some of the things he says and does could have come right out of _Pumping Iron_.

How much is there to say about weight lifting, really?

Nice to see he’s got a sense of humor about himself. Seems like he’d be a good guy to hang out with, smoke a few cigars (and maybe some other things, if we’re in Washington, Colorado or the Netherlands) and sip some scotch with. In fact, let’s invite [del]Denny Crane[/del]William Shatner, too.

As a matter of fact anyone who contributes $10 or more to the After School All Stars program can win the opportunity to be flown to California to spend an afternoon with Schwarzenegger, smoking cigars, working out and going for a ride in his tank. (He owns the tank he drove as an eighteen-year-old in the Austrian army.) Details here.
