Goodrum,
Since you will be at the Elite show, I wish to challenge you to a duel. A pugilistic one with gentleman rules. I am talking of a boxing match between us in Greensboro the night before the Elite or after and even perhaps Sunday.
I have reserved a boxing ring already just in case you accept. It will literally be 5 minutes away from where the Elite is being held. The same rules for Professional Boxing will apply.
The bout will be taped professionally as well, with the victor getting the film. I have taken care of all of this already. I will also forego any civil action against you regarding the Mr. Getbig prizes if you you agree to this bout.
I await your answer.

I will never fully comprehend why this kind of "fight me " type of challenge is so frequent in/around bodybuilding circles. Remember when Titus challenged some top level cage fighter to a match? Well, I guess we all now know what good sense and rational decisions he made huh ;D
Ok, I know Vince G brings some of this razzing on himself in this half baked crowd, but, this?
Hmmm, I would like to know the ht and wt of Addonis and Vince G? I belive Vince is a lot taller/bigger.
Granted Adonis may have more hard muscle mass, but Vince is pretty big guy ( I think? ) in terms of ht and wt.
I have a hunch that Vince G might not be too bad in something like boxing compared to the avg slob, who knows, it is just my gut feeling.
For my money , I think any challenge fight is pretty weak overall. If some person is trouble just go ahead and pull a "TITUS" and wait for the feds while you drink a rootbeer in your pick up.
AS me me, I say a baseball bat, lug wrench or 38 caliber is the way to "solve" any dispute between gentlemen ??? ;D :D ;)
Adonis...if you actually did reserve a ring , you need help, the kind a licensed psycholgist can give :o.
If this is some sad attemot at humor, well, keep your day job and forget being a comedy writter.
Her is an idea ok? Train hard, enter and compete in a decent sized contest. That and enjoy life, get laid, etc , ad naseum.

You're being called out Vince !!
-
Adonis I know you are really hurtin right now for some good publicity, but c'mon......
Vince 1st Rd. TKO

LOL, seriously for some reason I have a serious gut feeling Vince would put a whoopin on our blonde friend.

Pugilism, my dear boy, used to be taught in the halls of Harvard and Princeton and still is for the most part,just not sanctioned. It is an art form. A sport of Kings.

Somebody so Inferior, would not even be able to administer a proper defense. The patented Adonis Left Hook has the speed of a V-2 rocket with the everlasting effect worse than Zyclon-B.

1.I wish I could take this call out,I will bitch slap you so hard your hair might look alright after it.
2.Do a real fight retard,pride/ufc style,boxing is lame.
3.Take it to the RIGHT board asshole,this isnt an opionion or gossip.

Adonis are you suffering from nazi envy? :o
My mom is jewish, just so you know, seriously.
I don't follow any religious doctrine however.
-
Well since Vince is preparing to go "nuclear" in his training for next years Metrolina, I would be happy to step in for him and apply the "Darkside Principles" to you TA. I used to do some boxing growing up, and I'm sure I'm like 10 times as strong as you, so this shouldn't last long. Since you wimped out the deadlift challenge, this should make up for it.

Would it be less frightening if I replaced it with The AIM Sidewinder and Mustard Gas?

Where is the deadlift challenge? Where can I sign up?

Zyklon-B. Not "Zyclon-B".
Good luck with the boxing fight. I doubt it will look anything like boxing, but perhaps one of you could actually prove a point.
And I'd be a little more careful in dropping Nazi references if I were you, mate.

The one you issued to me artard. Some bull about doing 225, 100 reps. You and daddywaddy were supposed to do it, but you never sent me directions to school you ass. I doubt you could pull 225 for 10 reps.
Where is the deadlift challenge? Where can I sign up?
-
Adonis, get on stage with Goodrum at the Elite. That proves more to the lads here than any fisticuffs. Don't forget, you are challenging a professional wrestler known as Venom Vince Versace. He cannot accept your challenge as his hands are lethal weapons. Be a man and compete against him in bodybuilding. End once and for all who has the best physique.

It is spelled either way my friend depending on where you are from.
On some canisters an E appears at the end and on some The C is a K and the inverse and so forth.

He claims to have repped it 112 times.
DaddyWaddy. The bodybuilding/weightlifting gods blessed me yesterday and I did 112 reps total with 225 on the deadlift. Breathing like a locomotive for sure.

this is a bogus thread. a smoke screen. adonis got challenged and he's trying to back out from a bodybuilding contest. the thread was mysteriously moved to the v board, where it's a sticky at the top of the page.
it should be moved back to the gossip where it belongs.

Oh I thought it was regarding Vince.
Sure I will compete in that. My expenses for Jezebelle and I are to be compensated as I stated in a previous PM.
You never stated any shit in any PM, don't try to backout boy... I'll tell you what; you can stay over in my pool house... all you need is a plane ticket for 1 soul... imaginary friends fly for free on most airlines.

two people boxing with no experience is very boring to watch, unless you don't wear gloves.

No. Nothing has been set. Perhaps you were referring to Alex 23 entrance into the next Mr. Getbig Contest.

Do not actually think Venom Vince would be a pushover in the ring Adonis!
Be careful what you wish for. 8)

Venom Vince would love to spank that ass twice. I know I would be there videoing the whole damn thing.

Good comeback, young grasshopper...well played ...well played ;)

I am going to contact Guy Grundy and Jimmy Mentis in this matter as they wanted to have it out with Vince too.
I will see if they wish to be in my corner for the fight. They can meet up with Branch Warren as he is going to be guest posing and all fly out together perhaps.

Well as far as Alex23 is concerned - it is.
But Adonis is backing out.

How about I compete against you Alex 23.
That I will do.
Pick a date in the coming year.
It was just a straight up competition here, mano a mano. Why change it?

Nice try you weasel.
You suggest out of the blue that you and Vince should fight, something you know would never happen, and then you wanna use that as an excuse to back out on Alex23.

I agree to it as long as you pay for my 2 way plane ticket there.

I suspected you were "play for pay" Alex, now this confirms it ;D ;D ;D ;D
What is a "2 way" plane ticket? Is that in refrence to a fella who takes on 2 men at a time ?? :o :o :o
-

Alexxx he said boxing not "muscle bear" cuddling

As I stated earlier, there is nothing wrong with the 2nd Mr. Getbig, being the venue.
-

Figure out the cost and let me know.
Perhaps you will have to do.
-
Contest next summer, open class, I won't use my geezer age as an excuse. How much do you weigh?
If you are between 175-198, I will get down and we can compete in the Lt Hvy's in an NPC show?
NC, SC, Ga, Tenn. ???? when and where , you call it. Since Vinnie will do it , how about the 2007 Metrolina near Charotte NC.
Posts will be compete with pics after the show, no matter what.
I have not reserved a ring, but you can take my dog on as well, in a hot dog eatin contest ;)

But Adonis is backing out.
That is correct my friend; he is backing up like a little bitch.. I even offered him to stay in my pool house for the weekend... Ado-shaft, I'll even add-on to the deal, you beat me; I reimburse your airfare...
-
For someone who claims to be the 2006 Mr Getbig, when I decide to revoke your prize winning you then get real and claim them.
I'll go ahead and send your winning to you and advise 240 to modify the rules and regulations for the 2007 Mr Getbig contest. I will upgrade the placings for 3rd and 4th place as they were the ones that were actually cheated in this contest by you Adonis.
Also, my graphics artist did find Alexxx pictures were touched up as well, something about the borders being shortened to make him look wider.
Next year, the rules will be more stringant and I will personally enlist my own people to make sure everyone is playing fair
-
How about you just do the 2007 Mr. Getbig first. I do not wish to really give money to an organization that supports drug use in sports and which chooses not to follow any of its own rules.
-
I don't even know where it is. How about you figure it out genious.
I tried this with Alexx previously, and he wouldn't meet me half way. I love the spelling of genious, he musn't be one himeself.

I want a green card so that I can go to hollywood and present myself as king of the action world.

You should admit that you were wrong in your assertions regarding my photographs.

Alexxx I'll give you a green card if you'll pick cotton if my fields.

Hey, maybe Only me can challenge Goodrum in a no-rules battle royal? Maybe we can all be there and bash the crap out of each other in the ring for all the nasty stuff others post about us. Should be fun. Won't prove a darn thing, unfortunately.
-
hahahahahaha you are 100% grade A fruit! I mix my french sometimes what's your excuse?
Offer is still available, and I was using sarcasm. I am 38, I am sure a tough guy like you would have no trouble with me.

Get real, get on stage beside me and other real bodybuilders or stop blowing hot air buddy ;)
On line contests are of little interest to me.
C'mon and play with the big boys and make the jump, what do ya say? Put up or shut up.
I took down the hippo , now I am taking on Adonis...or is he chicken ...babbababbababa.
Unless you compete adonis, now matter what you say Vince has an actual contest show record and some real placements.....you are blow hard. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
I am 100% serious, I would diet and suck down to 199, for this.
Just pick the show, NC, SC, Ga, tenn, etc?

Of course he does.
He has little else in his life to be joyous about.

Yeah, and while we are at it I challenge all you wannabes, hasbeens and losers to a pinch gripping contest on my pinch grip machine. $1,000 cash to anyone who can break my record of 203 pounds.

I am sincerely impressed with that feat, no joke.
I pinched a cute girls butt last time I was in the gym and all I got was slapped and had to go "pinch a loaf" in the mens room LOL
-
I see everyone is challenging everyone...Adonis, Alexxx, Alex23, Howie, Basile et al
I'll throw out a challenge myself, when I think of one.
Expect me back in this thread later.

You are an absolute idiot. You cant be serious. Has your spaceman training blown all the thought out of your head? How old are you? A boxing match? Get real.

The guys who take gripping contests seriously don't recognize my world pinch grip record. We used the machine in the 2003 Australian championships and I managed only 80kg because I was training for other events but my pinch was still 20 kg better than anyone in that contest and better than the world record 65 kg. However, the records have been done on different apparatus and lifting on polished stainless steel is different from doing free weights using chalk as a grip aid. Even though no one approaches me on the machine I doubt if I could do more with the other apparatus. You really have to specialize to be the best in any weight lifting feat. My machine now has 100kg weight stack so the invitation is there for anyone to come to Sydney and see how much you can do.
-
Who says you aren`t on a lot of drugs.
I don`t think we would be in the same weight class as I wouldn`t be a heavyweight.
First off I said LIGHT Hvy and that is 176 -198 lbs .
2nd I would compete with you in the OPEN class , considering I am old enough to literally be your father, that is pretty generous.
3rd, since their is no actual drug testing, yes I "could" be juiced to the gills. BUt if you know my threads and thoughts on drugs , you know I am against any extreme steroid use, period. I only use androgel for age related test decline and it keeps my levels ideal , no more , no less.
4th. This would be really fun for me. I sincerely have no real problems or serious issues with you or anyone else here at get big or in bodybuilding. I think it would be cool to compete and be on the same stage.
Even if we were not in the same wt class or div, the pics could be posted, results given here, etc.
5th. You need to pop your cherry and compete. You seem to have a decent physique.
lastly - it will finally give me the motivation to diet and dust off the ol posing trunks.
PS/ I am veteren bodybuilder, if you come in, come in right , because I will, seriously ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA HA!!!! NOBODY with some sort of public life wants to be associated with you.... you just brought dellusional to a new level ... ricosauve, you got this... this is insane...
What the fuck ????

I`ll be back. Gym Time.

who the fuck would go to Sydney just to see if he can pinch that shit.
I bet you cheat and use glue on your fingers :D
-
I said I will not fight no weak people!
I get it, you still talk crap, but don't want to back it up. Okay.....
-
I never cheat. I had a witness with me at all times during that contest. All you are allowed is a window cleaning spray to clean the grip plate. It is amazing how much can be lifted. My son has the second best pinch with 67.5 kg. We also can put other grip handles on the machine. Come to the gym and have a go. V&R Fitness, 37 Nancarrow, Meadowbank, NSW, Australia. Meadowbank is a suburb of Sydney.

don't lie, you know it is high rep wrist curl time , in the bathroom with the latest issue of "honcho".

Danielson you are trying too hard. You seem obsessed with me for some reason. Guess I pissed you off when you refused to post any photos of yourself. Smart to be anonymous instead of doing a Goodrum and removing all doubt. Keep it sensible and you will be fine. The thread is about challenges in case you haven't noticed.
-
Maybe Goodrum should have a choice of fighting styles. Adonis wants a fight so Goodrum can choose the weapons. What say we have a wrestling match? Should be fun. Bring the soda cans!

I challenge basile to wait until 3 pm his time to eat dinner tomorrow.

Hey, Danielson, maybe I should make you my next project and give you some attention. Seems to me you need a challenge. Nice to see you trying to help little Melvin deal with the ogres of Getbig.

Basile, I aplogized to you for that fake pm and you seem alright. I just don't see why you are trying to tear Vince down all the time. He is passionate and works hard. he sucks as a bber, so what? At least he is not some lazy pos watching others achieve their goals while he watches TV all day.

Danielson's pic is posted :)
-
What photo? He is just some bald looking wannabe whatever. I guess you can't stop people from posting here but you sure can wonder why they are here.
So what claim to bodybuilding, lifting, strength does this dude have?

I am really good at a pinching machine that no one gives a fuck about ;D

We need to get a Getbig tournament fight going in LV......
-
I'll fight T/A and Goodrum at the same time.
-
Danielson, time for a reality check. You have been found out by Adonis, Sarcasm and the good lads of Getbig. You have nothing to show but talk big like Goodrum. No wonder you stick up for the poor bugger. I see wannabes like you everyday in my gym. I try to help them but most are too thick to accept good advice. We are not going to see a photo of this 183 pound powerhouse sensation. Join the end of the loser's line around here. Come to my gym and see how you go on the equipment. I might be able to make a man out of you.

Actually, I will post a pic of my build old timer, I just thought that after you posted that pic of your nasty ex-wife, I would bring a little "sexyback" to this site ;)

Why is this old fart breaking your balls danny?
-
What we need is a tournament of Getbig wannabes and losers. Should be a long list. Then we beat the crap out of each other until only one guy is left. Can you imagine the pent up hostility that some of these guys like Danielson and Goodrum have? Heck, I have wanted to rip some of those necks and break a few arms so I know what getting stirred can do. That is why I hold back and don't take the slinging too far. Goodrum is a good sport, you gotta hand him that. Danielson fights dirty and plays dirty. He has a lot to learn about netiquette.
-

Cuz I take exception to him constantly fuckin with good old Vince. Everyone has a little fun with him, but this guy is a fuckin creep. Plus, he pmed me about sending him naked picks of little boys and thats just uncalled for.

You want to break my neck? ;D Even in your prime, I would have beat the living piss out of you, you delusional old fuck. Man, arguing with an old man kind of creeps me out :-\
-
I see everyone is challenging everyone...Adonis, Alexxx, Alex23, Howie, Basile et al
I'll throw out a challenge myself, when I think of one.
Expect me back in this thread later.
i challenge you to get naked with me.
-
Okay, Danielson, it is on. You now get what you deserve. It is out of bounds to mention family and exes here. That is beneath contempt. You are a liar and a scumbag. I don't apologize for saying that. You have slandered me several times and you deserved to be banned from Getbig. The moderators are asleep here. Not to worry, unlike Goodrum I don't need anyone to fight my battles for me.

So you can fuck nonstop with Vince with every post and you can't take a little shit back? No one really thinks that you pmed me for naked pics, that part was a joke. But your ex-wife? Butt fuckin ugly :-\

I use telekinesis when I train sometimes, I think it helps me use more ying yang in the lift

Take it easy man, I don't think he meant for it to be taken so badly. Dan seems like a good guy, however, maybe he touched a nerve he didn't know existed. Nothing on this board is worth getting that upset over. 8)
-
Danielson do you foolishly believe you are intelligent enough to dupe the smart guys on Getbig? Get a grip on yourself. You are approaching the standard of delusion set by Vince G CSN MFT. Keep it up because the lads make mincemeat out of guys like you.
I never lie or make up falsehoods about others. You do that and that demonstrates you are desperate and without sufficient resources to debate ethically on Getbig. You are fooling no one and the more you post the more pathetic you look. Plus, get some help for anger management. That is not a good quality to have on line. You are easy to stir and that gives everyone a hoot. Step back and don't take the net so seriously.
In case you hadn't noticed, your behaviour is creepy. You accuse people of being old wankers, pedophiles, creeps when you are a complete nobody who has to resort to slander and lying to try to put someone down. That is truly pathetic behaviour and something to be ashamed of. When the fun goes out of stirring Goodrum that is when I will stop.

You have been stalking the guy for months now, let him breath ffs. We all know he sucks as a bber and he takes shit from everyone, but you take it to new levels. The guy has like 6 jobs, works hard(not so much in the gym :-\), and you give him non stop shit. If you can dish it out and not take it, then go fuck yourself.
-
Hey, Dorkeroo, it is one thing to hurl insults at another on Getbig. Many do that so we all expect crap sometimes. However, slander is not something anyone should be doing on the internet. Neither should one try to put another down by references to family and past spouses. That really is contemptible behaviour. Danielson is not a nice guy if he can be as despicable as he is in this thread. I guess he resents being another fall guy around here. He comes here trying to defend Goodrum from ridicule and gets a serve himself. That is routine around here.
-
Yeah, maybe I have dished out too much to Goodrum. The wannabe sorted me out so I had some unfinished business. I am glad to divert some of my resources to interacting with you. Let's see how you go.

I agree that he crossed a line, however, I also think that a lot of people do not respect the same things others do and that this was a miscommunication.
You are an asset to this board and I would hate to see you go or get bent out of shape by someone you have never met is all. Keep up the research because it makes me feel better there is someone else out there reading until their eyeballs fall out :P

How I go? wtf does that mean? I "go" out with ladies that don't look like shit, unlike you. Is that what you had in mind?
-
I challenge you to a cock measuring contest.
How many do we need to measure? sorry. not interested dude, start without me or wait for adonis
-
i challenge you to get naked with me.
I appreciate that challenge Power Rod. With everyone challenging everyone else I was beginning to feel left out. I was thinking more on the lines of a duel, boxing match, pinching some weight thing etc.... more on the lines of the thread however.
she's not your 'type'
I am not sure whether you insulted me, Power Rod or neither there. Perhaps I am just stupid :)
I see the next challenge issued will maybe be Basile and Danileson.

I want nothing to do with the old man, he just seems to think he can say whatever he wants and cry when someone gives him a little shit back. I actually feel creepy for arguing with a geriatric.

haha Im getting great laughs out of this, thanks danielson
-
I will go on the record and say that Vince Basile never pmed me about seeing any pics of any kind, I was out of line.
-
Danielson finally PM me and I replied. He has to respect limits or suffer the consequences. Since when am I afraid of anyone on line or in real life? I speak the truth and others can deal with it. Sure I have made a sport out of bagging Goodrum. He plays along and is famous on Getbig. If I thought I was hurting him I would desist. Even at 64 I could outperform most of you guys in the gym. That isn't saying much!

I beat you to it :), but I am sorry I took things in that direction, you are just having fun and what I said was malicious.

Goodrum,
Since you will be at the Elite show, I wish to challenge you to a duel. A pugilistic one with gentleman rules. I am talking of a boxing match between us in Greensboro the night before the Elite or after and even perhaps Sunday.
I have reserved a boxing ring already just in case you accept. It will literally be 5 minutes away from where the Elite is being held. The same rules for Professional Boxing will apply.
The bout will be taped professionally as well, with the victor getting the film. I have taken care of all of this already. I will also forego any civil action against you regarding the Mr. Getbig prizes if you you agree to this bout.
I await your answer.
Ok lets see here.....
First, you plan to set up a table outside the event selling pictures of me.....
Then you said you were going to throw eggs at me.......
Now you've set up a boxing ring and challenge me to a match with.......chuckle...."gentleman rules"
You're willing to do all of that but absolutely refuse to simply step onstage against me at the Elite Classic. The only reason you don't is because I know that your pictures are fake and you are nothing more than a scrawny toothpick. I would crush you like a bug onstage.
And a boxing match against me.......please. I would not break a sweat kicking your lily ass. I'll do the same thing I did to that inmate than took a swing at me. And that guy went to the hospital on a stretcher. People like you would hesitate to throw the first punch.....I don't. Working in a correctional facility will do that to you.
Throw an egg at me at show and I'll punish you
-
IT IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::)
-
I accept that Danielson. If you want to call me an ass or a jerk or some such name that is just Getbig nonsense and maybe there is some truth to those names. However, family and slander are not part of anything fair on line. I hope you know that and respect other people who do not participate here. No one likes to hear stuff about family or wives or even exes. Say whatever you like about me that isn't slander and I can tolerate that. Lots of guys around here are mucking around and they are hardly dim-witted. I fit in with those guys and play the on line games that are legend around here. Reputations don't mean much around here but wit and sense do. If your arguments and points have merit that is all that matters. If you bs about yourself or accomplishments then you deserve to get bagged. The unwritten rule around here is you don't bag anyone above you in the physique or strength order. If you do then people will ask for validity and when you post it like Goodrum did then you end up a laughing stock. If you can't support your standing then you get dismissed, too.
I admire Melvin. How many of us would persist in posting if daily we found images of ourself in a toilet bowl? The guy doesn't deserve that level of bagging but he comes back with his dignity and posts away. That is what gets him some respect here. The guy might have a lot to do to improve his physique but he is man enough to return and be a participant here.
-
I beat you to it :), but I am sorry I took things in that direction, you are just having fun and what I said was malicious.
You're a pussy with your backing down.

You know, Vince G CSN MFT T-shirts would be a great seller. Caliber Fitness should be selling a line of those items including phrases like Bee Pollen, cover shots, and poses from recent shows. They would be worn in gyms around the world. I am not kidding. Capitalize on the infamy!
-
Adonis are you suffering from nazi envy? :o
My mom is jewish, just so you know, seriously.
I don't follow any religious doctrine however.
You know whats the ironic thing ....the same Jews that ran from Germany are the ones that invented the atom bomb and caused a major shift in the war :D
Fagonis is abit slow and he forget those things.... ::)
-
I love the confidence on goodrum. shows the rest of us how delusional he is- sure you beat up a convict-he was in handcuffs-he couldnt fight back! vince is always in last place.he competes and still does not have blue stripes on the board-lol
-
I would crush you like a bug onstage.
You're pretty hard for someone with such squishy titties.
-
You're pretty hard for someone with such squishy titties.
jhey were talking about a guy who beat somebody up who was handcuffed and brags about it!
-
Vince took an ass-whipping trying to beat his meat.
-
Prison guards sometimes get the heck teased out of them and many take it quite hard. If Melvin did that job he knows selling Bee Pollen to wannabes is infinitely easier than working in a prison. From the scowls on his face when on stage maybe he recognized a couple of former inmates who were jeering him? Or perhaps he saw someone besides the official photographer taking photos!
Prison guards sort out people and ask questions later.
-
who all is going to the Elite? Sounds like it's gonna be some entertaining stuff.
-

If someone takes a swing at you, do you thing they are in handcuffs...... ::)

Hehehehe take a number JamieX... Maybe I'll pop up at the Elite on Nov 4 afterall... AdoSperm... wanna show up for a dwarfing posedown? It will be humiliating for you but to make up for it, I'll take you and your imaginary girlfriend out for drinks and show you what a non-internet based social life can be like..

That's the spirit, everyone show up with boxing gloves and posing trunks for the showdown of the year. The stakes have never been higher. People are cracking under the weight of insults and jeers. Once solid citizens like TA and Goodrum are slugging it out at the bottom of the heap for some glimpse of self-respect. The wannabes are looking on and feeling quite ignored. Swing first is Goodrum's policy and that is good enough for me!

Yeah he's got a point here TA, he challenged you to a bb contest - on a bb site, and you side step hIS challenge with a boxing match ???
PRETTY LAME

Yeah, I agree, what is Adonis thinking? Maybe a barbell fell on his head like what happened to most of us?
Come to think of it Goodrum PM me and I wrote back and then he said he wouldn't communicate any more. I found that unfriendly. Like, what have I done to him?

Adonis, drop the nazi shit... ::) get some help.... AND.... Get a real girl... You're just making a complete asspackage of yourself and you're going to look back at this in a few years and feel like a complete maggot infested dog turd.

you tell him vince. you're the man.
keep it real.

6 pages and adonis backed out of every challenge. and say what you want about vince, but unlike adonis he at least has the guts to go on stage and compete :)
-
Yup. I been sayin that shit since I got here. The dude is doing it...he doesn't do it well but he's doing it.Which is more than 95% of us here can say.
Danny, I can't believe you backed down to Basile. Fvck him. No one here is above getting abused, and he's well aware of "how we go" here at the V.
EDIT: sorry I thought I was posting on the V. but the point remains.

i'll be there, and i'll be at that fight if it goes down ;D

I suspected you were "play for pay" Alex, now this confirms it ;D ;D ;D ;D
What is a "2 way" plane ticket? Is that in refrence to a fella who takes on 2 men at a time ?? :o :o :o
You're way over your head Alexx.

I can kick any of your asses. You could make a line and have each one of you challenge me and I would still come out the victor! Just the way it is.

I am fascinated by Duels. They used to be considered an art form. Swords and Pistols alike.
Here are some Famous American Duels.
American duels
May 16, 1777: Button Gwinnett, signer of the Declaration of Independence, dueled his political opponent Lachlan McIntosh; both were wounded, Gwinnett died three days later
July 11, 1804: U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton; Hamilton was killed.
Main article: Hamilton-Burr Duel
May 30 1806: Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson; Dickinson was killed, Jackson wounded.
March 22, 1820: Stephen Decatur and James Barron; Decatur was killed.
April 26, 1826 Henry Clay and John Randolph of Roanoke; at Pimmit Run, Virginia; Both unhurt. [5]
1832: James Westcott and Thomas Baltzell; Baltzell unhurt, Westcott injured but survived to become a U.S. Senator. [6]
July 26, 1847: Albert Pike and John Selden Roane; declared a draw, no injuries.
June 1, 1853: U.S. Senator William McKendree Gwin and U.S. Congressman J.W. McCorkle, no injuries.
September 13, 1859: U.S. Senator David C. Broderick and David S. Terry, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California; Broderick was killed.

Charles Dickinson (1780-May 30, 1806), was a 19th century American and nationally famous duelist. An expert marksman, Dickinson's dueling career ended with 26 kills, at the hands of future president Andrew Jackson.
Life
Born at Wiltshire Manor, Dickinson grew up in the Grove community of Caroline County, Maryland. He was a successful planter, renowned duelist, and a popular socialite.
Death
Jackson's political opponents convinced Dickinson to insult Jackson's wife assuming Jackson would not survive. At a party near Hillsboro, Maryland, at the Daffin House plantation, he met Andrew Jackson and struck up a conversation about horse racing. Later the two would meet again when Dickinson had relocated to Nashville, Tennessee. A horse race was set up between the two men, but Dickinson pulled his entry out at the last minute.[1] Both men, enraged after trading public insults subsequent to the scrapped race, agreed to a duel. Dickinson fired first, and Jackson took one ball in the ribs.[2] Without wavering, Jackson then fatally wounded Dickinson with a .70-caliber shot to his middle, severing an artery. He died a few hours later, the only man Jackson ever killed in any of his 103 duels.[1]

Broderick, David Colbreth (brō'dərĭk) , 1820–59, American politician, b. Washington, D.C. Brought up in New York City, he was active in Tammany Hall before moving to California in 1849. He became equally active in politics there, being a member of the state constitutional convention of 1849. He was elected to the state senate in 1850 and was chosen to preside over it in 1851. Broderick, who drew his support chiefly from Northerners, fought bitterly for control of the Democratic party in the state against U.S. Senator William M. Gwin, leader of the proslavery element. Both were sent to the U.S. Senate in 1857 under a compromise by which Broderick was to have control of the federal patronage. However, President Buchanan and Gwin ignored the understanding, and Broderick fiercely attacked them both. He was killed by Chief Justice David S. Terry of the California supreme court, a supporter of Gwin, in a famous duel near San Francisco. An eloquent eulogy at his elaborate funeral and editorial reverberations throughout the land made him the martyr of the Union cause in California.

Most arguments and disagreements used to be settled by duels and challenges.
I am glad we are bringing that art form back.

who all is going to the Elite? Sounds like it's gonna be some entertaining stuff.
Hah, if you've ever met someone from internet only contact you will know that none of this translates to much atall. Its almost worse to meet someone from the internet than just cold, out of the blue. This will be mediocre if it happened and there's no way it will.
I know this sounds pretty stuffed up but I once had to tell a girl that my friend had gone to Germany the day after they had met for the first time (previously only having "love" discussion on the internet). Egged on by him I then proceeded to tell her that he told me that he'd screwed her in a bush and that he'd drawn an accurate picture of her vag for me. That was of course one way of "ending it".
(they just talked ofcourse).

As a man of Principle I will duel Vince.
All he has to do is accept. Perhaps somebody else will accept and actually show up.

Darth Muscle is clearly a very serious individual indeed.
And he will feel an epic level of stupidity if he did confront someone from a board.
Its really weird.

A duel is a formalized type of combat. As practised from the 15th to 20th centuries in Western societies, a duel may be defined as: A consensual fight between two gentlemen, with matched deadly weapons, in accordance with rules explicitly or implicitly agreed upon, over a point of honor, usually accompanied by seconds (who might themselves fight), and in contravention of the law.
The duel usually developed out of the desire of one party (the challenger) to redress a perceived insult to his honor. The goal of the duel was not so much to kill the opponent as to gain "satisfaction," i.e., to restore one's honor by demonstrating a willingness to risk one's life for it.
Duels may be distinguished from trials by combat, in that duel was not used to determine guilt or innocence, and duels were not official procedures. Indeed, duels were often illegal, though in most societies where dueling was socially accepted, participants in a fair duel were not prosecuted, or if they were, were not convicted. Only gentlemen were considered to have honor, and therefore qualified to duel. If a gentleman was insulted by a person of lower class he would not duel him but would beat him with a cane or whip or have his servants do so. Dueling is now illegal in all but a few countries around the world.

Rules
Sabre duel of German students, around 1900, painting by Georg Mühlberg (1863-1925)Duels could be fought with some sort of sword or, from the 18th Century on, with pistols.[1] For this end special sets of duelling pistols were crafted for the wealthiest of noblemen.
After the offense, whether real or imagined, the offended party would demand "satisfaction" from the offender,[2] signalling this demand with an inescapably insulting gesture, such as hitting the offender in the face with a glove, or throwing the glove before him, hence the phrase "throwing down the gauntlet". This originates from medieval times, when a knight was knighted. The knight-to-be would receive a ritual slap in the face, said to be the last one he ever had to accept without retaliating tenfold. Therefore anyone being slapped with a glove, was considered, like a knight, to accept the challenge, or be dishonoured. Each party would name a trusted representative (a second) who would, between them, determine a suitable "field of honor", the chief criterion being isolation from interruptions. Duels traditionally took place at dawn, for this very reason. It was also the duty of each party's second to check that the weapons were equal and that the duel was fair.
At the choice of the offended party, the duel could be:
to first blood, in which case the duel would be ended as soon as one man was wounded, even if the wound was minor:
till one man was so severely wounded as to be physically unable to continue the duel;
to the death, in which case there would be no satisfaction until the other party was mortally wounded;
or, in the case of pistol duels, each party would fire one shot. Even if neither man had been hit, if the challenger stated that he was satisfied, the duel would be declared over. A pistol duel could continue until one man was wounded or killed, but to have more than three exchanges of fire was considered barbarous, and somewhat ridiculous if no hits were achieved.
Under the latter conditions, one or both parties could intentionally miss in order to fulfil the conditions of the duel, without loss of either life or honor. However, to do so, "to delope", could imply that your opponent was not worth shooting. This practice occurred despite being expressly banned by the Code Duello of 1777. Rule 13 stated: "No dumb shooting or firing in the air is admissible in any case... therefore children's play must be dishonourable on one side or the other, and is accordingly prohibited." Practices varied, however, and many pistol duels were to first blood or death. The offended party could stop the duel at any time if he deemed his honor satisfied.
For a pistol duel, the parties would be placed back to back with loaded weapons in hand and walk a set number of paces, turn to face the opponent, and shoot. Typically, the graver the insult, the fewer the paces agreed upon. Alternately, a pre-agreed length of ground would be measured out by the seconds and marked, often with swords stuck in the ground. At a given signal, often the dropping of a handkerchief, the principals could advance to the marker and fire at will. This latter system reduced the possibility of cheating, as neither principal had to trust the other not to turn too soon. Another system involved alternate shots being taken - the challenged firing first.
Many historical duels were prevented by the difficulty of arranging the "methodus pugnandi." In the instance of Dr. Richard Brocklesby, the number of paces could not be agreed upon; and in the affair between Mark Akenside and Ballow, one had determined never to fight in the morning, and the other that he would never fight in the afternoon. John Wilkes, who did not stand upon ceremony in these little affairs, when asked by Lord Talbot how many times they were to fire, replied, "just as often as your Lordship pleases; I have brought a bag of bullets and a flask of gunpowder."
[edit]
History
In English, the word duel is attested from the latter half of the 15th century. It derives from Old Latin duellum (Classical Latin bellum "war"), in Middle Latin associated with duo "two" by popular etymology, shifting its meaning to "one-to-one combat". The word is ultimately from a PIE root *deh2v "to burn, to destroy", cognate to Old English teona "damage".
Physical confrontations related to insults and social standing pre-date human society, but the formal concept of a duel, in Western society, developed out of medieval judicial duel and older pre-Christian practices such as the Viking Age Holmganga. Judicial duels were deprecated by the Lateran Council of 1215, but in 1459 (MS Thott 290 2), Hans Talhoffer reports that in spite of this, there were still seven capital crimes that were still commonly accepted to be settled by a judicial duel. Most societies did not condemn dueling, and the victor of a duel was regarded not as a murderer but as a hero, his social status often increased. During the early Renaissance, dueling established the status of a respectable gentleman, and was an accepted manner to resolve disputes. Dueling in such societies was seen as an alternative to less regulated conflict.
The first published code duello, or "code of dueling", appeared in Renaissance Italy; however, it had many antecedents, ranging back to old Germanic law. The first formalised national code was France's, during the Renaissance. In 1777, Ireland developed a code duello, which was indeed the most influential in American dueling culture.
[edit]
Prominent duels
To decline a challenge was often equated to defeat by forfeiture, and was sometimes even regarded as dishonorable. Prominent and famous individuals ran an especial risk of being challenged for duels.
Among the most famous duels are the American Hamilton-Burr duel, in which notable Federalist Alexander Hamilton was fatally wounded, and the duel between Duke of Wellington and the 10th Earl of Winchilsea, wherein each participant intentionally missed the other.
The Russian poet Alexander Pushkin prophetically described a number of duels in his works, notably Onegin's duel with Lensky in Eugene Onegin. The poet was mortally wounded in a controversial duel with Georges d'Anthès, a French officer rumoured to be his wife's lover. d'Anthès, who was accused of cheating in this duel, married Pushkin's sister-in-law and went on to become French minister and senator. The whole affair was instigated by anonymous letters, apparently written by two homosexual princes in order to revenge d'Anthès for his homosexual affair with the Ambassador of Holland.
The last fatal duel in Canada saw Robert Lyon challenge John Wilson to a pistol duel after a quarrel over remarks made about a local schoolteacher whom Wilson ended up marrying after Lyon was killed in the duel.
In 1864, American writer Mark Twain - then editor of the New York Sunday Mercury - narrowly avoided fighting a duel with a rival newspaper editor, apparently through the quick thinking of his second, who exaggerated Twain's prowess with a pistol. [3] [4] [5]
Another famous, and possibly apocryphal, story had the 6 foot 4 inch Abraham Lincoln avoiding a duel with a renowned but diminutive gunfighter who had challenged him to a duel. Lincoln took the challenged party's prerogative and chose the place and manner of the duel; he decided on a duel with broadswords in six feet of water. His would be opponent withdrew his challenge, and was apparently so amused that the two became friends.

Unusual Duels
In 1808, two Frenchmen are said to have fought in balloons over Paris, each attempting to shoot and puncture the other's balloon; one duellist is said to have been shot down and killed with his second.
Thirty-five years later, two men are said to have fought a duel by means of throwing billiard balls at each other. [6]
Some participants in a duel, given the choice of weapons, are said to have deliberately chosen ridiculous weapons such as howitzers, sledgehammers, or forkfuls of pig dung , in order to show their disdain for the proceedings. [7]
[edit]
Duelling in Particular Countries
[edit]
Greece
In the Ionian Islands in the 19th century, there was a practice of formalised fighting between men over points of honour. The tradition was unusual in that it was carried on by peasants rather than the aristocracy.
Knives were the weapons used in such fights. They would begin with an exchange of sexually-related insults in a public place such as a tavern, and the men would fight with the intention of slashing the other's face, rather than killing. As soon as blood was drawn onlookers would intervene to separate the men. The winner would often spit on his opponent and dip his neckerchief in the blood of the loser, or wipe the blood off his knife with it.
The winner would generally make no attempt to avoid arrest, and receive a light penalty, such as a short jail sentence and/or a small fine.[8]
[edit]
Opposition to dueling
The Catholic Church and many political leaders like King James I of Britain, usually denounced dueling throughout Europe's history, though some authorities tacitly allowed it, believing it to relieve long-standing familial and social tensions.
[edit]
United States
Dueling began to fall out of favor in America in the 18th century. Benjamin Franklin denounced the practice as uselessly violent, and George Washington encouraged his officers to refuse challenges during the American Revolutionary War because he believed that the death by dueling of officers would have threatened the success of the war effort.
Furthermore, dueling was often used as a façade for legalized murder. In 1806, Andrew Jackson—later to become a U.S. President—engaged in a duel but violated a technicality of his duel. Jackson and his opponent had agreed to a one-shot duel, but when the duel began and Jackson fired, his pistol jammed. His opponent took his shot but missed entirely. Jackson unjammed his pistol, fired, and hit his opponent (his turn was technically over when his pistol jammed).
By the end of the 19th century, legalized dueling was almost extinct in most of the world. Some American states have laws which establish procedures for legal dueling, but it is unlikely that they would be upheld in court.
Many jurisdictions have very high level bans laid against dueling, with stiff penalties for violation. Several United States state constitutions ban the practice, the most common penalty being disenfranchisement and/or disqualification from all offices.
Constitution of Alabama (Article IV, Section 86):
"The Legislature shall pass such penal laws as it may deem expedient to suppress the evil practice of duelling.
Constitution of Kentucky (Section 228 and 239):
Members of the General Assembly and all officers, before they enter upon the execution of the duties of their respective offices, and all members of the bar, before they enter upon the practice of their profession, shall take the following oath or affirmation: I do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth, and be faithful and true to the Commonwealth of Kentucky so long as I continue a citizen thereof, and that I will faithfully execute, to the best of my ability, the office of .... according to law; and I do further solemnly swear (or affirm) that since the adoption of the present Constitution, I, being a citizen of this State, have not fought a duel with deadly weapons within this State nor out of it, nor have I sent or accepted a challenge to fight a duel with deadly weapons, nor have I acted as second in carrying a challenge, nor aided or assisted any person thus offending, so help me God.

Constitution of Mississippi (Article 3, Section 19):
Human life shall not be imperiled by the practice of dueling; and any citizen of this state who shall hereafter fight a duel, or assist in the same as second, or send, accept, or knowingly carry a challenge therefor, whether such an act be done in the state, or out of it, or who shall go out of the state to fight a duel, or to assist in the same as second, or to send, accept, or carry a challenge, shall be disqualified from holding any office under this Constitution, and shall be disenfranchised.
Constitution of Tennessee (Article IX, Section 3):

Uniform Code of Military Justice (Article 114):
Any person subject to this chapter who fights or promotes, or is concerned in or connives at fighting a duel, or who, having knowledge of a challenge sent or about to be sent, fails to report the facts promptly to the proper authority, shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Florida State Constitution of 1838, Article 6, Section 5:
No person shall be capable of holding, or of being elected to any post of honor, profit, trust, or emolument, civil or military, legislative, executive, or judicial, under the government of this State, who shall hereafter fight a duel, or send, or accept a challenge to fight a duel, the probable issue of which may be the death of the challenger, or challenged, or who shall be a second to either party, or who shall in any manner aid, or assist in such duel, or shall be knowingly the bearer of such challenge, or acceptance, whether the same occur, or be committed in or out of the State.
[edit]
Modern duels
Dueling still continues to occur, albeit not with regularity.
In May of 2005, twelve youths aged between fifteen and seventeen were arrested in Japan and charged with violating a dueling law that came into effect in 1889. Six other youths were also arrested on the same charges in March.
It is uncommon, though not unheard of, for members of the same US college fraternity, who finding themselves in a fairly serious disagreement, to fight a duel via fisticuffs. Especially in the South, there are informal arrangements whereby the two brothers meet in a specified place and "fight it out", with seconds. Such an event was documented in the Louisiana Tech student newspaper in the early 1990's.
Senator Zell Miller (D-GA), apparently offended by criticisms and questions from host Chris Matthews of Hardball with Chris Matthews, loudly remarked that "I wish we lived in the day when you could challenge a person to a duel!"
Fencing is a sport which simulates a sword fight, but with 'weapons' that are not intended to injure - and obviously without any assumption that the physical conflict is related to a personal conflict as with a duel.
[edit]
Game-theoretic aspects of duelling
Dueling is a scenario sometimes used in discussions of games and game theory.
One example is a dueling-type scenario with 3 participants, each with different levels of skill as a marksman. Shooter A has a 95% rate of accuracy, shooter B has 75%, and C has 5%. The shooters take positions on an equilateral triangle; each chooses a target and (if alive) fires one shot. To be fair, it is agreed that the shooters will shoot in reverse order of their skill, I.E. first C, then B, then A.
The question is, if you are shooter C, what is the best strategy? At first glance, it might seem like shooting at A would be best, but really the best thing to do is to shoot in the air. That way, B will shoot at A, and if he misses, A will shoot at B. Either way, C will end up with the first shot of the survivor. C exchanges the first shot in a "truel" for the first shot in a proper duel.

I honestly don't see someone having the nads to show up to someone's door for some cross words exchanged on the internet. That's a very good way to get your ass handed to you and not may people would see the person that went through the trouble to find them and show up as the "victim" if such a case happened.

Haha.. I urge you guys to all try it.. meet someone from the board or internet.
Its like meeting someone you should have familiarity with - but it basically not existing. So when you turn up to adonis's door and he opens it and clearly doesn't know who the fok you are you'll realise that you've just driven 6 hours to fight a complete stranger you're going to feel pretty embarassed :) One of the worlds most awkward converations will ensue. Haha, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for something like this.
You are True Adonis? (saying nicknames is hilarious in real life, even that inspires huge levels of embarassment about how much of a douche you are)
Yes
I have travelled 6 hours to engage you in fisticuffs after reacting emotionally to your exaggerated internet character.
Baha, classic. Every second you spend in a car travelling towards adonis is a brutal meltdown of epic proportions.

You're willing to do all of that but absolutely refuse to simply step onstage against me at the Elite Classic. The only reason you don't is because I know that your pictures are fake and you are nothing more than a scrawny toothpick. I would crush you like a bug onstage.
I doubt that mate , you dont even work out , you look like shit.
Every single person on here and other forums says the same thing but you persist in thinking you look good.
You need serious mental help, seriously

How about this Adonis.
Me vs YOU in a dual to see who has the better LIFE?
Oh, sorry, you need to first get a life before we can dual I guess...ouch. :(
How about your bodybuilding contest record vs Vince?
How many shows have you won or placed in ????? What ??? You said NONE!
Hmmm, let us score this dual.
Vince : at least PLACED/too part, in sereval shows (even if he did not win or wow the judges)
Adonis : a big fat "0" , zero.
Look Adonis, I know plenty of guys who train hard and never cared to compete that are cool dudes and decent guys. However, they don't go around saying how great their physique is and pretending they are some great bodybuilder, etc.
Forget me or Vince, just compete in a NATURAL show, post the pics and how you did, etc.

Well I just saw some pigs flying across the sky and I was hit by lightning and damm hell froze over. I have to agree with Vince on this one. As much as Vince has no idea how bad he really looks and doesn't belong on stage at a bodybuilding show, at least he does have the largest set of balls around cause he does get on stage. No matter how drunk he is and whatever bet he lost, he does take his shirt off and gets on stage. He has more balls than I do cause even in my best shape noway in the world would I do that and wear little speedos and shit. Joe Gold would almost literally beg me to do it. He thought I would have been awesome up there and compete in powerelifting at the same time but I didn't cause I guess I was and still am a guy who just doesn't have the balls to do it. So I give credit to Vince and really every bodybuilder.
SO with that, TA you brag so much and you enter a contest wearing the little speedos yet you won't go on stage to prove you principles and your lifestyle. The best way to shut people up is to do it. Theere is absolutely not one reason why you shouldn't enter a contest for real. NOT ONE. You can double talk and give some dumb reasons like you hate the NPC and whatever but they are just poor excuses. Get up there and show Vince and others you can walk the walk. Cause in reality you only talk the talk whihc anyone can do. Sorry bud I like you but you really need toprove to these people you are real. Until then you are basically a bag of wind wasting bandwidth.

I agree with Keith, Vince has the chutzpa to get on stage, TA doesn't. Kudos, Venom.

If I get on a stage and take first place...What then?

If I get on a stage and take first place...What then?
Well guaranteed you are going to shut allot of guys up and your principles are going to have something behind them other than just talk. Cause right now it is all talk. If you are truly built like your pictures then you will do good once you put on some muscle. Start training heavy and eat some protein and you'll kick ass.

Eating more protein won`t do a thing. I have done that for years and it has no bearing on quicker progress as I am right in perfect progression given my expierence for Natural Bodybuilding.
And I already train VERY heavy! :)

He's going to duck me as usual. For a member of the "master race", he's more of a masterbat or. I guess Germans getting their ass handed to them twice by Americans is enough. And by the way stop calling your self King, I think Kaiser or Ferher is more appropriate.

8) Attention ADONIS 8)
Go back and read this post from only me ( a fellow old fart ;), then read the 2nd paragraph again.
Only me is right on the money here buddy. Vince may not be a wonderful bodybuilder but he something a lot of folks lack.....BALLS! I am not sure how good a bodybuilder Vince will be, but, I KNOW for certain that Vince will get better and be the best bodybuilder he CAN be before it is all said and done. He may even earn some hard won respect before he stops getting in shows.
Guys like you are a dime a dozen Adonis. These are the ones that would of, could of been the best high school football, basketball, soccer, track, baseball, etc athletes, but never go out for the team. They are the ones at the nightclubs with endless tales of the hot babes they could easily get, but don't care to try.They always have the perfect excuse or are just too good to get involved, etc.
You are part of the endless legions of losers and also rans that are "legends in your own mind". They made a movie about this years ago called ; " Walter Mitty ".
Truth be known these "legends" are deeply insecure. They sincerely doubt their own worth and know that putting it on the line could reveal the ugly, sad truth. Kinda like the babe that wears a very stuffed/padded bra , walks around all big and busty , but is really dreading having her busty secret revealed.
Once again Adonis, it is fine to NOT compete. My lifelong buddy Bix, is a hardcore bodybuilding guy, but never had any desire to compete himself. Like onlyme, he enjoys the sport and admires size and strength.
Many guys are very content and perfectly happy to build the best physique they can but for a variety of reasons have no desire to compete.
Frankly, you come off like the next Mr Universe. Yet, you make every excuse to avoid a legit test.
I did over 35 shows and never had any regrets despite getting beat more than winning.
I put it on the line and in the end that is all that matters.

No one has to go on stage in a bodybuilding contest to prove he is a man. Sure, it takes guts to shave and put those posing trucks on. Heck, Only Me would have to wear board shorts!
Adonis challenged Goodrum to a duel. Well, Goodrum has chosen the weapons and now Adonis is posting crap about the history of duels. Nice red herring. The way everyone sees it is that Goodrum wins this challenge if Adonis doesn't show up to compete against him at the Elite. Of course, on another level, Adonis wins if he videos Goodrum's routine for the lads at Getbig. To score a double win Adonis has to defeat the boastful Goodrum in an actual bodybuilding contest. A video of Adonis being presented with a bigger trophy than Goodrum will be worth immeasurable I-am-better-than-you posts here at Getbig. Imagine all the boring posts from Adonis being Goodrum's master!! That is what the prize is. Heck I would come out of retirement and whip Goodrum's sorry ass if I could compete in the Juniors! Now, that would be funny. So, Adonis, just challenge Goodrum to compete against you in the OPEN division of the Elite. That is what real men do.

8) Attention ADONIS 8)
Go back and read this post from only me ( a fellow old fart ;), then read the 2nd paragraph again.
Only me is right on the money here buddy. Vince may not be a wonderful bodybuilder but he something a lot of folks lack.....BALLS! I am not sure how good a bodybuilder Vince will be, but, I KNOW for certain that Vince will get better and be the best bodybuilder he CAN be before it is all said and done. He may even earn some hard won respect before he stops getting in shows.
Guys like you are a dime a dozen Adonis. These are the ones that would of, could of been the best high school football, basketball, soccer, track, baseball, etc athletes, but never go out for the team. They are the ones at the nightclubs with endless tales of the hot babes they could easily get, but don't care to try.They always have the perfect excuse or are just too good to get involved, etc.
You are part of the endless legions of losers and also rans that are "legends in your own mind". They made a movie about this years ago called ; " Walter Mitty ".
Truth be known these "legends" are deeply insecure. They sincerely doubt their own worth and know that putting it on the line could reveal the ugly, sad truth. Kinda like the babe that wears a very stuffed/padded bra , walks around all big and busty , but is really dreading having her busty secret revealed.
Once again Adonis, it is fine to NOT compete. My lifelong buddy Bix, is a hardcore bodybuilding guy, but never had any desire to compete himself. Like onlyme, he enjoys the sport and admires size and strength.
Many guys are very content and perfectly happy to build the best physique they can but for a variety of reasons have no desire to compete.
Frankly, you come off like the next Mr Universe. Yet, you make every excuse to avoid a legit test.
I did over 35 shows and never had any regrets despite getting beat more than winning.
I put it on the line and in the end that is all that matters.

If you have a Ferrari, but don`t enter it in a car show, is that Ferrari Less of a car?

Nice try, but you can't talk your way out of this one. You see, Adonis, if Goodrum is the 'worst' bodybuilder ever and you are afraid to compete against him then where does that place you? That is what the lads see.

Darth, what point is there to box someone's ears, especially if he is afraid to get on stage with Venom Vince Versace? On Getbig you need neurons and not muscles to succeed. Or haven't you figured that out yet? Here the
pen keyboard is mightier than the sword muscles.

No, because the whole will be videoed for all of GetBig to see. But he is just a internet tough guy, and is getting owned everytime he tries to change the subject, or have his fag squad mates jump in. No honor or class, but what do expect from Hun's....

Code Duello: The Rules of Dueling
Reprinted from "American Duels and Hostile Encounters," Chilton Books, 1963.
The Code Duello, covering the practice of dueling and points of honor, was drawn up and settled at Clonmel Summer Assizes, 1777, by gentlemen-delegates of Tipperary, Galway, Sligo, Mayo and Roscommon, and prescribed for general adoption throughout Ireland. The Code was generally also followed in England and on the Continent with some slight variations. In America, the principal rules were followed, although occasionally there were some glaring deviations.
Rule 1. The first offense requires the first apology, though the retort may have been more offensive than the insult. Example: A tells B he is impertinent, etc. B retorts that he lies; yet A must make the first apology because he gave the first offense, and then (after one fire) B may explain away the retort by a subsequent apology.
Rule 2. But if the parties would rather fight on, then after two shots each (but in no case before), B may explain first, and A apologize afterward.
N.B. The above rules apply to all cases of offenses in retort not of stronger class than the example.
Rule 3. If a doubt exist who gave the first offense, the decision rests with the seconds; if they won't decide, or can't agree, the matter must proceed to two shots, or to a hit, if the challenger require it.
Rule 4. When the lie direct is the first offense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms; exchange two shots previous to apology; or three shots followed up by explanation; or fire on till a severe hit be received by one party or the other.
Rule 5. As a blow is strictly prohibited under any circumstances among gentlemen, no verbal apology can be received for such an insult. The alternatives, therefore -- the offender handing a cane to the injured party, to be used on his own back, at the same time begging pardon; firing on until one or both are disabled; or exchanging three shots, and then asking pardon without proffer of the cane.
If swords are used, the parties engage until one is well blooded, disabled, or disarmed; or until, after receiving a wound, and blood being drawn, the aggressor begs pardon.
N.B. A disarm is considered the same as a disable. The disarmer may (strictly) break his adversary's sword; but if it be the challenger who is disarmed, it is considered as ungenerous to do so.
In the case the challenged be disarmed and refuses to ask pardon or atone, he must not be killed, as formerly; but the challenger may lay his own sword on the aggressor's shoulder, then break the aggressor's sword and say, "I spare your life!" The challenged can never revive the quarrel -- the challenger may.
Rule 6. If A gives B the lie, and B retorts by a blow (being the two greatest offenses), no reconciliation can take place till after two discharges each, or a severe hit; after which B may beg A's pardon humbly for the blow and then A may explain simply for the lie; because a blow is never allowable, and the offense of the lie, therefore, merges in it. (See preceding rules.)
N.B. Challenges for undivulged causes may be reconciled on the ground, after one shot. An explanation or the slightest hit should be sufficient in such cases, because no personal offense transpired.
Rule 7. But no apology can be received, in any case, after the parties have actually taken ground, without exchange of fires.
Rule 8. In the above case, no challenger is obliged to divulge his cause of challenge (if private) unless required by the challenged so to do before their meeting.
Rule 9. All imputations of cheating at play, races, etc., to be considered equivalent to a blow; but may be reconciled after one shot, on admitting their falsehood and begging pardon publicly.
Rule 10. Any insult to a lady under a gentleman's care or protection to be considered as, by one degree, a greater offense than if given to the gentleman personally, and to be regulated accordingly.
Rule 11. Offenses originating or accruing from the support of ladies' reputations, to be considered as less unjustifiable than any others of the same class, and as admitting of slighter apologies by the aggressor: this to be determined by the circumstances of the case, but always favorable to the lady.
Rule 12. In simple, unpremeditated recontres with the smallsword, or couteau de chasse, the rule is -- first draw, first sheath, unless blood is drawn; then both sheath, and proceed to investigation.
Rule 13. No dumb shooting or firing in the air is admissible in any case. The challenger ought not to have challenged without receiving offense; and the challenged ought, if he gave offense, to have made an apology before he came on the ground; therefore, children's play must be dishonorable on one side or the other, and is accordingly prohibited.
Rule 14. Seconds to be of equal rank in society with the principals they attend, inasmuch as a second may either choose or chance to become a principal, and equality is indispensible.
Rule 15. Challenges are never to be delivered at night, unless the party to be challenged intend leaving the place of offense before morning; for it is desirable to avoid all hot-headed proceedings.
Rule 16. The challenged has the right to choose his own weapon, unless the challenger gives his honor he is no swordsman; after which, however, he can decline any second species of weapon proposed by the challenged.
Rule 17. The challenged chooses his ground; the challenger chooses his distance; the seconds fix the time and terms of firing.
Rule 18. The seconds load in presence of each other, unless they give their mutual honors they have charged smooth and single, which should be held sufficient.
Rule 19. Firing may be regulated -- first by signal; secondly, by word of command; or thirdly, at pleasure -- as may be agreeable to the parties. In the latter case, the parties may fire at their reasonable leisure, but second presents and rests are strictly prohibited.
Rule 20. In all cases a miss-fire is equivalent to a shot, and a snap or non-cock is to be considered as a miss-fire.
Rule 21. Seconds are bound to attempt a reconciliation before the meeting takes place, or after sufficient firing or hits, as specified.
Rule 22. Any wound sufficient to agitate the nerves and necessarily make the hand shake, must end the business for that day.
Rule 23. If the cause of the meeting be of such a nature that no apology or explanation can or will be received, the challenged takes his ground, and calls on the challenger to proceed as he chooses; in such cases, firing at pleasure is the usual practice, but may be varied by agreement.
Rule 24. In slight cases, the second hands his principal but one pistol; but in gross cases, two, holding another case ready charged in reserve.
Rule 25. Where seconds disagree, and resolve to exchange shots themselves, it must be at the same time and at right angles with their principals, thus:
If with swords, side by side, with five paces interval.
N.B. All matters and doubts not herein mentioned will be explained and cleared up by application to the committee, who meet alternately at Clonmel and Galway, at the quarter sessions, for that purpose.

Sorry Darth, as a neutral party here, I gotta chime in...
You cannot make a duel challeneg without posting a pic. There's nothing to stop you from talking shit for 6 weeks then asking your buddy Tito Raymond to show up to kick someone's ass.
If you have the sack to make the challenge, post a pic of you with your face blurred so that your identity is verifiable on fight day.
*reminds me of the kid who tried to bet me $1000 on something but wouldn't give his name until after the outcome LMAO...

If he cannot comply with the duelists request,
The duel is invalid and I am the winner by default, therefore he should suffer an agreed punishment.

Darth,
You chose to accept TA's offer. In order to be a part of any valid arrangement, both party's identities must be known. if you cannot do this, you will make yourself ineligible and then lose by default.
You chose to chime in, accepting the duel. Would you make an arrangement with anyone else in this world whose identity you didn't know? The ball is in your court now. You can post a pic of you with face blurred and something to identify yourself (maybe a disparaging message on a piece of paper).
The choice is yours. But these are commonly accepted rules of pledged engagement - if you cannot abide by them, as they are an intregal part of this agreement, you void your agreement and therefore lose the duel.

Pull this rule crap on big Vince G and you will get shot, run thru or gored before you say or read the first one.
He might get DQ'd and you would be awarded the win , but deadmen don't look good for long.
If some pompous clown tried that on me, I would Biatch slap him before he could say Marquis of Queensberry.
How about a farting dual adonis? I am ready!
