Sorry to link to a _Daily News_ gallery but I couldn’t come up with an address for the photo on its own. Anyway, damn this kid is really coming along! Seems to be a fine young guy, good student, feet on the ground, loves and is loyal to his mom, more buff all the time, very likable and with more charisma than Schwarzenegger’s Kennedy children. I wonder if Arnie’s grooming him for the big screen.

I hope he isn’t following in his father’s footsteps & schtupping maids.

I wonder what his other kids think of him, how’s that relationship look? They must have grown up around each other, been friendly, shared some experiences, etc. And then, BAM, ‘Oh, by the way, infidelity, divorce, love child, hey this is your Bro!’

I wonder how friendly the kids all are. And, as you say, he does seem the most likely to actually follow in his Dad’s footsteps. How’s that gonna workout for his other kids watching? Father/son movie roles anyone?

Why not, assuming both are single and consenting adults? Maids need lovin’ too.

Oh, man. During a recent trip the hotel maid, with no subtlety whatsoever, began to come on to me. Every evening when I returned to the room I’d find a chocolate on my bed pillow. Little minx! I ignored the gesture and avoided her eyes when we passed in the hall. Though technically single, I am in a committed relationship.

Oh yes, that happens to me all the time. The brazen vixens leave little soaps and shampoos and make my bed, expecting carnal rewards in return. Why can’t they understand they’re not my type?

Even worse, she’s feeling domestic. Cleaning your room without being asked and all.  
When’s the wedding?

Maybe they’re preparing for the day when L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter’s \*\*Conan of Aquilonia/B] is turned into a movie.

That’s Conan’s son Conn in the lower right.

I thought it was gonna be a picture of Conan O’Brien and his son.

Uh Oh, that’s a worrying sign. She may be into some kind of mom fetish stuff, keep your distance.

Funny how Arnold’s other kids look nothing like him.

Joseph got the famous jawline. He seems to bulk up in muscle easily too.

I credit Arnold for taking a personal interest in his love child. Providing support and also being a real parent to Joseph.

So the one that most looks like him is the maid’s son? Go figure.

Maybe there’s something Maria never told Arnold? 😃

Gotta admit I’ve wondered about this myself. Seems odd that none of Arnold’s Alpha He-Man genes managed to make it to the fore in any of his four children with Maria.

“Alpha He-Man genes?” I’m guessing you’ve never seen Arnold’s parents - he looks like his mother.

I thought their horn dog gene was on the Y chromosome
