...do you remember the Hungry Lion Celebrity All Star Team. I played on that with Tom Selleck, Pat Morita, Henry Kapono and quite a few others. I remember we were playing against the FBI in a game and they hired the San Diego Chicken to come be a part of it ... Carolyn Sapp was there too and she was the one holding the video camera. Robert Kekaula too played. I liked playing with that team cause I could go into the Hungry Lion and get free meals anytime I wanted. Is it still there.
I'm thinking after the game he had tea with Mariah Carey, Brad Pitt, and the Pope. ;D

Kieth was there 65 millions years ago to see the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs
And after the dinosaurs got zapped, Keith took in a late dinner with his good friends Moses, Noah, and the Pharaoh Ramses.

That's okay.... Keith has the highest security clearance. It was given to him personally by his good friends Donald Rumsfeld and Ronald Reagan back in the 80's. After they gave him his credentials at the White House, Keith took them for a spin around Washington in his bitchin' 1981 Porsche!

Goat, I don't know about Madonna's hairdresser, but I can attest to the fact that Keith does in fact know everyone he claims to know and I, who actually don't care if I ever meet anyone within the ranks of stardom or political importance ever again (been there - done that!) have been introduced to many by Keith on numerous occasion.
I personally don't know Madonna's hairdresser but I know a good number of her entourage (had to look that one up) and I do plan to intro them to Keith shortly on a very important occasion which I am not at liberty to disclose at present.
BESIDES - Keith will never catch up with me in the "Knowing People" department. At an early age I set a goal to meet as many good people as possible before I leave this big blue marble and I'm sure that one day we will be shaking hands as a result of Keith's introduction. You can count on that!

That's okay... I know special "secret agent" types like you and Keith can't share classified information with mere mortals. Well, I mean you could tell us, but then you'd have to kill us, so it's all good, bro.

Kieth advised George Washington during the battle of Bunker Hill
Kieth conviced Churchill to free India
Kieth cleared a lot of earth for the construction of the Panama canal by jumping up and down and creating a massive earthquake
Kieth gave a banana to the first ape sent into space by NASA

Gayer than Kieth giving JP Morgan banking advice back in the day

On the bottom row, hopefully. I could see Gary Coleman or someone sitting in the square below where Keith is supposed to be, and seeing Keith lumber into the studio and aproach the ladder to climb up to the square above. :-X

No, Goat, I would never kill ya. But if I did tell you 'some things', I'd have to disclose that fact to the proper authorities and they would have to follow through with the appropriate action. I don't know what that would be, but I wouldn't be the person to have to do it. Nor would I even want to or even consider doing so.
X-Factor, I don't know exactly where you want me to say, "Just kidding" a few posts back, but be advised that everything I've ever said about Keith is 100% true and not exaggerated."
Even my "Farting in the Crowded Elevator" story about Keith is 100% valid and probably the only time in my life where I was totally 100% embarrassed.
The rumors on this board about his association with George Washington, Churchill, the Panama Canal, slavery, and NASA are completely untrue to the best of my knowledge. At least he never discussed those with me nor was I a personal witness.
Why do you fail to believe such things, Goat? DO you simply enjoy attempting to redicule others for their accomplishments? I'm not a shrink, but there must be a name for that.
Sometimes a simple apology can cure undefined illnesses. It worked for me.

Losts of people rag on keith for name dropping but the best was when Squad called Keith a liar when he said he had knew Royce Gracie. Keith laid the smack down on squad when he posted a picture of him and Gracie together , pure gold!

I think he's like half the people here. Stuck at work and just goofing around. No need to write a novel about it.
-
You got a problem with Keith knowing a few celebrities?
Sure they ain't no A-list Celebs like Zone Capone, but still, the man has met a few people during his years on Hawaii.
No need to be jealous.
-

His history of constant name-dropping is what I'm ridiculing him for. ::)
(well, that and being really, really fat.)

I don't think for Goat and others it is a matter of not believing. It's just ribbing Keith for being a namedropper - which he is. I think most here like Keith and find him amusing many times.

Yea, thanks for your curtious response, Goat, but would you rather listen to some of the boreing, lying bullshitters on here or get some interesting name dropping shit from Keith? I got a bad habit of reading those check out cashier stand, Hollywood, gossip rags while waiting for the lady in front of me to find the necessary change for a six-pak of beer while juggeling a kid on her hip (God bless motherhood), but I gotta admit that I enjoy reading Keith's stuff on here even more. At least I know it's the TRUTH.
HUMONGOUS, I gotta back up your last statement.
I ain't no killer or fighter no more so when I meet a Gracie, I have no idea who or what a "Gracie" is or even "ever was".
Then one day Keith asked me to return something to one of the Gracie's ("Was it Royce, Keith?") and when I next ran into Keith he asked me how I felt about meeting one of the best family fighting members in the world, and I had to ask him who he was talking about.
Till then I had no idea who "Gracie" even was and this was after spending about 20 minutes in his office talking old story about Keith and his funny ways and the good times they appeared to have on some occasions.
Name dropping is fun if it's truthful and doesn't cause any problems for the individual whose name is dropped. And for that sole reason, I can't do a lot of name-droppen.
Not yet - Anyway!
Someday you won't be believing half the shit I have to say, but every piece of that shit will be entirely true. But then I'll have to shoot myself, so that could be a long way off........ and probably never unless I can write from the great beyond.
Maybe JohnnieVegas can help me in that regards.
OH SHIT! Now I am in trouble!

Thanks, Moose, but are yu back on drugs or somting?

Hey Stunt!
Yes, I am back on...4 days post-neurosurgery.
One more to go...my, are the sands of time sifting through for me...gotta get back!

Goatballs is your middle name Jealously Just wondering. Are you really that mad about your life where you think I am bragging about being with people that you would never ever be able to even get close to. Honestly where do you live where you think this way. I would not want to be you for a billion dollars. I keep naming people I have actually met or worked with and you pull out stupid names. Dude you really need to get a life if you think I am bragging when I put a name down. I do it if it pertains to the thread or my post. Do you follow everything I do. Are you my stalker. Being gay shouldn't prevent you from going out and doing something worthwhile with your life. Just remember you are a no body now but maybe you can be some body if you get out of the house.

So today I'm at Denny's eating my usual 5 orders of "grand slam breakfast" (but this time I got a DIET coke to go with them, since I'm trying to drop from 620 lbs to 610 lbs for a role), and who do I see walk in but my good buddies George Steinbrenner, Cher, and Joe Piscipo. Anyway, they invite me over to Hugh Heffner's house, and.... ummmm..... I forgot what happened after that. Probably something involving some car from the 80's, though.
Thanks for sharing, spider-man.

Thanks for the update, Moose! The only real thing I know about Morphine is that I was supposed to inject it in my leg from a little metal toothpaste tube with a blunt needle on its end if and when I ever got shot or be prepared to to shoot it to the guy next to me whose gut just got ripped out by an incoming 122 mm rocket.
I also had to be prepared to show that I still had it in my kit whenever morphine inspection time came around. And then I eventually graduated up to the Morphine Control guy and had to account for every bit of morphine in the entire unit.
How come no one cheated back then? Or did they cheat and I just didn't know it?
Good luck to ya in the infirmary, Moose. And don't get hooked on that shit. I know a kid who did get hooked and it took his life at an early age. It actually made him kill himself the second time around after losing an arm after his first attempt.
Take this shit as one of those bloody, killer crash movies they used to show us every Friday nite before getting off the base on liberty. Scarry shit and that's what it's supposed to be.

Wow. No, they put a porphine catheter in my neck...so I can set my cervical sympathetic chain awash with zylocaine and morphine...pain control.
That is amazing stuff on your end. You are lened in my book.
I also had to be prepared to show that I still had it in my kit whenever morphine inspection time came around. And then I eventually graduated up to the Morphine Control guy and had to account for every bit of morphine in the entire unit.
I imagine junkies would kill for this shit
How come no one cheated back then? Or did they cheat and I just didn't know it?
With the drugs? Beats me...I am only a chiropractor so I don't prescribe, but I still have patients who ask me for "Perks, man..."

Jesus.
I had the cath for 3.5 years, from 1991 to 94 after crushin g my leg.
They had to wean me off very slowly. I was physician-induced addicted

To the morons who think I name drop. If you think I do it to try to impress you, you are about as stupid as someone who posts pics of fairly nice car at a house that is okay to try and impress you with wealth. I put names in my posts to validate what I say. Unlike 99% of you who are afraid to post anything about yourself so you can continue to bullshit everyone and say what you want to say without anything to back it up, I will post something usually attributable to the thread and to prove my point I will either post a name or a pic. But in reality I don't mention 1/4 of the people who I have just met in passing. I try to only mention people I have actually worked with or was at the same function with. I grew up in LA and was in a business where I got to meet a lot of people who are famous. I was also an athlete who people seemed to like have around so they invited me. Sorry I had a life and you don't but I can't help that. Goatballs and his gay friends on here who think I am bragging or namedropping are honestly some of the dumbest people I have ever met. If I wanted to be boring or post bullshit then I Getbig would be just a board full of Goatballs wannabes. Getbig has gotten be so shitty because of guys like him on here who really do not ever contribute anything but are just here for entertainment. Ron has fucked up this board and basically it is just a place to fuck around in and a place for guys who have no life to come and pretend to be somebody. But hey all good in love and war. And yes please post the typical "meltdown"

Sorry to get off the subject here but I've gotta respond to one of Moose's recent comments with a short story of a very bad drug experience I had as a much younger person. It wasn't me who had the drug problem, but it was my best friend who did and his story was helpful for a couple of other drug addicted friends I've had down through the years; so it might be worth repeating here.
ANd I don't want to infer that you have this problem, Moose, but you brought the subject up and something here might be of help to others.
For you younger guys who don't like this type of shit, I simply say, "Move on and find a topic that is more amusing."
Moose, you just said something that snapped my memory banks to strict attention and I gotta tell ya a related story even though you may not need this story to survive or even to simply improve, or wotever!
You stated earlier that you " ... had the cath for 3.5 years, from 1991 to 94 after crushing my leg. They had to wean me off very slowly. I was physician-induced addicted....."
My best friend had a similar experience a long while back. He was a serious athlete, high school student, and teen age bodybuilder who won a major teen age contest in California. And he had his own radio show that was all about being a teenager in California. He was the kind of guy that every mother and father wanted their kid to be.
While training for an upcoming contest he suffered a serious injury to his spine and was hospitalized for a long period of time and eventually released fully dependent on morphine and other drugs that were prescribed to relieve the pain. In addition to those drugs he was required to ware a full back brace 24/7.
Needless to say, his active lifestyle hit the wall and came to a full stop.
He simply became a complaining observer of other peoples active lifestyle (Sound familiar?) And over the next year or so there was no sign of recovery whatsoever.
So one day he is sitting on the beach in his body cast and I'm heading in his direction after a two hour dive in an unsuccessful search for lobsters/longusta. He is bummed out because all he can do is sit and he wants to dive with the rest of us. He is on the verge of crying, so I told him to stand up, which he did, and I proceeded to remove his body brace. He simply said, "Hey! I can't stand up without this thing." So I just said, "That's OK, just lean on me and I'll get ya in that water so you can stop this damn-crying-feeling-sorry-for-yourself-shit!"
So he reluctantly did the leaning while I did the walking and we eventually got just about waist deep in the water. And then I pushed him over and he fell beneath the sea with a surprised look and came back up with a huge smile upon his face.
"Damn! You scared the shit out of me, but this feels great. And I can float!"
"Yea, but it's the swimming that you want to do. So start swimming!"
And 20 minutes later we were more than 100 yards off shore conversing about how great life was without a body brace. How great it felt to be mobile. How great it felt not to be bitching and moaning in a body brace. How great life was going to be from now on out.
And 20 minutes later we were back in waist deep water and I asked him to walk up to the beach as far as he could go and I'd lend a helping hand when it was needed.
And sure enough, he didn't need no help from me and made it back to his bodybrace unassisted.
And I had to beg him to put that damn brace back on and we'd come back tomarrow and do this same thing all over again.
And we followed that simple routine for a week or so and on that last day, on that last walk from the shoreline to the brace, he took that brace and threw it in the nearest garbage-can while some of the surfers who realized what was happening gave a rousing cheer.
And that's the good part of this story, but there's more to come. The brace was gone but the drugs still had a hold. An extremely stong hold with no intent of letting go.

Keiths stories used to be cool and he was rarely ridiculed, then he decided to stalk Vince for some reason on here and post about him a few dozen times a day. If he can constantly harass people on here he should expect the same in return.

I had a paralell experience. In a nutshell, I'd won Collegiate Mr. Illinois in 1990. Graduated chiro school week before. Was gonna go in Nationals (And come in last, but, what the Hell, I qualified)....got hit head-on on highway by drunk. Crushed leg and many other injuries. Hospital 8 months. Went to mayo Clinic to face amputation.
Mom came out to visit in Minnesota. I was down. Depressed.
She told me how she was disappointed in my attitude...that i'd never given up on anything ever vin past.
after other things said/considered...i left mayo clinic after 3 months...got back t5o bb lifestyle best i coulfd, andf i restored my health/b]
the pic here is from that time. rsds...its what happens to my body with injury...swells everywhere, sometimes for years at a tinme
its what i have right now...in my right hand/arm
stunt, thanks for the best post i have seen for months...you have lifted my spirits today

WOW, Moose! Bummer injury there. Will you ever completely recovery?
Maybe this stuff I'm writtng was actually intended for YOU by some mysterious force only JohnnieV knows about. (But, I, myself, know the truth!)
Sorry I put the good part first but I gotta keep it in sequential order and tell the upcoming bad parts too, And I gotta warn ya that there ain't no happy ending here. You might prefer an hour or so with one of those "Happily Ever After" tales, but I gotta encourage ya to continue on.
But right now I gotta cook a dead chicken.

Keiths stories used to be cool and he was rarely ridiculed, then he decided to stalk Vince for some reason on here and post about him a few dozen times a day. If he can constantly harass people on here he should expect the same in return.
Big difference between me and Goodrum. Goodrum is used to be ridiculed his whole life and deserves every bit he gets. He pretends to be someone who he is not. He is purely an idiot. He is what other assholes are measured by. People who talk the talk but can't walk the walk deserve everything they get. I have no problem getting shit from people but it is people like Goatballs, Vince and others like them who really have no place to say anything about anybody. One thing I give credit to Goodrum for is at least he doesn't hide behind a fake name. Even though he is full of shit at least we know who he is. Goatballs and his boyfriends have no balls and constantly hide. Those are the guys who have no business saying shit. When I grew up punks like him wouldn't last a day in the gym or in public acting the way they do. Nowadays guys who generally are pussys in real life get to pretend to be someone without any recourse. This is the main reason why Ron has fucked up this board. Too many people saying shit without anyone knowing who they are. Shit changes when people know who you are. How many guys like Goatballs would talk shit if people knew who is was and where he lived. This place would have 20 people a day on it.

As you should goat. If you were to mention Keith to most of these celebs he supposedly knows, nobody would no who the fuck he is.
Unless of course you ask if they remember the big fat obese guy... 600lbs or so... and then they say "oh yeah, I remember him. He was lurking around a corner and ambushed me looking for an autograph. I didn't have a pen, so I told him to get lost."

Hey Goatballs you want an autographed 8 x 10 of me. I bet you anything you would love one so you could laminate it and........... well you know the rest. All you gay guys are alike

Ron didn't fuck up anything. This board has always been free speech and flames everywhere. Those who can handle it stay, those who are sensitive crybabies flee. It's always been that way. You used to be able to trade insults back and forth no problem, then at some point you became a passy and started melting down all over the place. Maybe the extra 400 lbs of adipose has affected your hormones or something? You should talk to your good friend Oprah about recommending a good weight loss program for you.

That was a round about way of saying people like you have actually ruined Getbig. Get over it cause it isn't a good thing. You do not belong here and honestly why would someone like you even come on here unless it has some kind of gay angle. Hey Goatballs you want an autographed 8 x 10 of me.

Goatballs, you need to face reality. You have grown up being in the back row, being the last one picked, being made fun of and definitely picked on by guys and probably girls too. Not sure if this is why you are gay or whatever but it is your destiny to be a NO ONE. I don't care either way. It is your life. I have had quite a bit of success in my life and even at the lowest point of my life, it is far far better than yours will ever be. Sorry I have to be so hard on you but you really need to put in your place. Hope this helps ;)

Gayer than the high point of your life was being an uncredited extra in some arm-wrestling movie 20 years ago that no one remembers. Is this the "success" you keep referring to in every thread, Keith? Let's face it, you're a fat slob spending all day posting on getbig and chasing "glory days" that never were. Hope this helps. ::)
-
Keith,
Do you enjoy having social gatherings with the "stars" or just regular folk? You seem more like a regular guy to me. Beer and nuts compared to Champaign and Lobster. Has any of the celebrities ever fucked you over or trashed you behind your back?

I'm pretty sure it was when my sponsor created a fake show for me to "win" in appreciation for all my years of IFBB ass-licking, and gave me the trophy ahead of far more deserving guys like Rusty and Pavol.
Oh, wait.... that was someone else, wasn't it? ::)

The high point in Goatboy's life was several months ago when he actually ventured outside where he lives and stayed in a hotel somewhere near Orange County. When the fireworks went off in the evening he asked Getbig WTF was that? Apparently he had no clue that Disneyland had a fireworks display on some nights at about 9 pm. Talk about living in a closet!
-
Exactly the response I expected.....
Wow, are you a psychic? Maybe you could call Dionne Warwick and ask for a job. I'm sure Keith probably has her cell number if you need it.

Keith lives in a pathetic fantasy world where he is king. It's so fucking sad to see him get fat as shit and become utterly delusional. The spider bite, the tub of shit fatness and the mental pressure to keep up appearances on GetBig and to hold his fragile fantasy together will cause him to crack and finally to drop dead.....my guess is he doesn't live through this decade. Sad. :-\
RIP Keith! Although you should find it scary that God not only hate fags, but he hates liars and fat people too! Uh oh, looks like hell will have to make room for your fat ass!!!!! :)

Dude no way in the world would you ever be able to get a sponsor for anything, but there is no way you could ever win anything. You are defintiely someone I could not relate too.

Exactly guys who just post and are cool to people shouldn't have to give up info. But guys who rag and just post to post bullshit should be exposed. If they can't handle it they should be banned. Getbig has definitely gave quite a few guys on here Internet Bravado.
And you "Haz" don't need to prove nothing. Your physique and demeanor on here is exactly what it should be. I know I am an asshole at times but I don't remember putting people down unless they ask for it. And Goodrum, Apenis, Goatballs, Leafy Slug and others deserve everything they get. Take a look at the History Board and see how I am on there and how that Board is moderated. That is how I am in real life and how I treat people when they are resepctful. My problem is I get pissed at punks because they pull shit and hide. I loved it back in the 70's and 80's because at least if someone had something to say they had the balls to say it your face then you brawl. Here you got to take shit from punks you never see or know.

-

I'd like to see Keith turn his life around too, but as long as he sits around posting on getbig, not losing his blubber, living in a fantasy world that never was, and in a constant 24-hour meltdown mode over every little thing, he's probably going to end up giving himself a stroke.

You claimed to have 3 at one point, one being Subtraction (timed). Yaroni might have killed them all after you constantly PMing members, asking for pictures of piss and shit.

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad and pathetic. Look at yourself Keith! You live in a world of lies and fantasy. The level of delusionality that exists in your head is so huge it's visible from space. Get a grip, you don't need to spout your lies on a fucking message board to validate yourself. Try getting out once and awhile and actually moving around, you might actually find yourself some real friends!
-

Subtraction and the "Mohammed bin Yaroni" series were mine, but Ron killed them a long time ago. Besides, everyone knew those were mine... I wasn't hiding. I don't have any current gimmicks, though.

I enjoy a Olyme story or two...And I wouldn't want my worse enemy to have to go through the spider bite shiat...With that said, lets all hope the worst is behind Keith...I mean if he was to get dementia or alzheimers one day where he couldn't remember 5 minutes into the past, someone upstairs would really have it out for him...

That would not be so bad. Get on daily doses of happy drugs and enough other shit (including a brain implant that affects your emotional state positively) to remain happy all the time, and you're set. You're a humanoid being charged with positive emotions all the time, and since you don't need the memory and stuff to attain your own happiness (since its provided with the pills), you are living in paradise.

All of his delusions about being "in" with famous celebrities. When in reality he brushed up against them on the set of some shit movie that he was an extra in. A scene that was probably cut. Lies about his fitness, showing no current pictures and the always hardy, "I am going to start lifting tomorrow, I swear!" AHAHAH oh brother.

I love the way Getbig threads end up where everyone is attacking everyone else. All we need is Goodrum to join in and we have a party. I still can't understand how Keith missed seeing the posedown where Melvin posed on the table at the Olympia.
Goatboy is no fool so deserves respect. Debussey will befriend anyone who responds to him. I swear the government should have better outpatient care for the mentally unstable.

Exactly. Keith probably isn't outright lying in the sense that he may indeed have briefly shared the same airspace with some of these people at some point, but he always portrays it like he's best friends and blood brothers with the A-list, when in reality he may been introduced for 3 seconds, and the celeb wouldn't have remembered who the hell he was even two days later.

Great point as usual Goatboy. The celebrity won't remember Keith at all, but they may remember some fat, drooling turd of a slob dwaddling around and getting sweat on them.

Unlike Goatboy and many of the total
losers nobodies around here, Keith has actually paid his dues and done plenty in his interesting life. The dude was an armwrestling champ and benched over 500 pounds. That is so beyond the capacity of the flotsam here it is in a completely different league. No wonder he gets pissed off at the wannabes who shit stir around here. I don't blame him.

Yeah, but around here the dreamers and nobodies post as if they are equals when clearly that is not true. Being good at putting others down is handy on the net but in real life that kind of stuff will get you a black eye. That is why Goatboy HAS to stay anonymous. Imagine Goatboy being imprisoned by his own gimmick! Even he can't get out of that corner!

It is a stunning look into Keith's fantasy world. In his mind he was invited to dine with Sly at a 5 star joint and have a gang bang afterward with a bunch of hookers and coke, after which he was asked to stand up in Slys wedding with that chick from Rocky IV.
Reality though has it that Keith saw Sly from a distance and waved at him. Fucking sad.

December 2nd, 2006 at 7:39 am
keith Jones Says:
Pizza Hawaii is great, everytime i go there they treat me like a king...I usually get a large 16 inch pie and a huge calzone and eat it all myself. Pizza Hawaii is that good, and they have a nice wood burning stove. They are a little pricey, but very good otherwise.

Wow. Good for you Keith, try to get in shape but fall victim to eating whole pizzas to yourself. Real smart, but not at all suprising.

Duce, feel free to call me anything your heart desires. No offense whatsoever. If a lapdog is one who tells the truth when the facts are being misunderstood or misconstrued (misconstruded?), then I am the biggest lapdog in existence and damn proud of it.
X, an arm wrestling champ may not be an impressive title to you and it sure as hell ain't to me either, but when an athlete takes his "athletic title" and does something with it, that makes all the difference in the world. And when he uses that title to benefit others who are less fortunate, then it becomes a monumental accomplishment and something to be proud to brag about.
I won't go into details here, but you must have accomplished something in your lifetime even if it didn't have a title attached and then used that accomplishment for the benefit of others.
Just let me ask you- what have you ever done for kids with drug problems, and for kids who never thought they could walk a hundred feet and ended up running a hundred yards with Keith at the other end to greet them with a big hug and a hearty "well done", for kids who cried while attempting to bench press 45 pounds in an attempt to win a little plastic cup.
Back when Keith was involved it was called The Special Olympics. I think it's called the same today.
Keith did all that and so much more and always promised to come back tomarrow while more famous individuals gave excuses to avoid their return.
You really want to feel good about yourself? .... Volunteer and give them your support and help those kids cross that finish line and smile and laff and sometime even cry with them. No matter what your feelings are on the outside, on the inside your heart is feeling wonderful.
Keith showed/shows up and did/does all this and that is a fact that cannot be denied.
Maybe it's your turn to fill his shoes or just show up and stand beside him and help these Special Olympic participants accomplish the impossible odds.
At times like these I'm most definitely proud to be a lapdog!

Keith, if you have something to say, don't use a gimmick account, just say it yourself and leave it on your real account.

Like Warren and Doris Buffet say
" You don't help out people who make bad choices...You help the ones out who have bad Luck"...When it comes to bad choices, Darwin's theory makes more sense...

I like you Moosejay, but get off the guys nuts.

I never expected this thread to go 7 pages... I figured I'd trade insults with Keith for a few posts and it would fall to the bottom. I guess I'm not the only one around here who thinks Keith's delusionality has some comedy value. :-\

Well, his stories are interesting but he could at least not take us for idiots and at least tell us they are fantasy and nothing more. Every post he becomes more and more involved with his "world". I'm worried about him.
-
Gigangtor, at what point do you begin to worry? Serious question.
-
Gigangtor, at what point do you begin to worry? Serious question.
Are you speaking to me, GigantorX, or gigangtor?
-
In all seriousness, Keith is a sick man. Not only mentally but physically as well. Whenever someone has this happen to them, I send out a general worry.
-
Oppps, sorry! I didn't realize that Gigantor was participating in this conversation or had reason to be worried,
Sorry bout that, but my question was directed to you ... GigantorX
Are you guys related? In my in-law's family all the sons have the same first name. They say that's common in Tenn.
OK, thanks Mr X, I see your "General Worry" response. That's a sign of a concerned individual. We need more like you on this Board.
It's just too bad that there arn't more citizens like you who generally worry about the real things that should be worried about.
Thanks for your swift response. It's almost like you answered before I even asked and that's only supposed to happen in Quantum Mechanics.

Thanks, X. Do I have to wait in line personally or can I have another stand in my place. I have a few on here I'd like to volunteer as my representative.

Stunt is pretty cool...Stunt, please "volunteer" Squadfather SweetMuscles to get whacked by X first if you don't mind ::)
Thanks
-
Commando??? Do you mean Commando Style?
Means I (or more appropriate - my representative) has to stand in line without our shorts??
Now you're really shortening my representative list.
Does Sweet go shortless?
I had Vince in mind originally.

You can't reach him JonnyVegas! He is Keith's gimmick afterall.
Notice how onlyme quietly waddled away from the destruction he hath wrought on himself in this thread, and notice how magically stuntmovie comes to his rescue and defends him tooth and nail.
-
WOW! you guys are tuff to crack.
Now I gotta figure out how to prove I'm not Keith. I are smart so I should be able to figure out how to do that without taking any advices from the Peanut Gallery.
And I got a good idea how to do that. I've got a better edumacation and know all about QM pretty good, so go ahead and ask me a QM question that Keith knows nothing about. I can guarantee ya personally that he does't even know what "QM" means, but I forecast some uneducated guesses from the PG real soon.
But please remember this .... I ask QM experts QM questions and they simply respond by scratching their head and asking, "Is this a trick question?" and swiftly hurry off to QM classes. That's a sure sign that I know a bit about it according to most QM experts.
On yea!! QM = Quantum Mechanics and you can look up my name in "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" but I ain't gonna tell you what page it's on. The read will do ya good if you can get by the first few pages without losing your mind completely. And some of us have already crossed that boundary a mile or so ago.
And while all this shit is going on, Keith is more than likely having a great time with the Maloofs and all those fine looking ladies in Las Vegas at one of those new penthouse apartments in the sky overlooking the Strip while we all just sit here wondering about his latest adventures and talking QM shit. And I'm sitting here like a fool waiting for him to tell us all about it and what he did and who he did it with.
-
Now I gotta figure out how to prove I'm not Keith.
Simple.... we'll put an extra- large pizza with triple everything down if front of you.
If any of it is left ten minutes later, you're not Keith.

Your posts reek of far to much effort, just stop being owned, walk away.

OK, send the Pizza. Thin crust with no anchovies.
-
X, effort is effortless.

But your concern is appreciated.

But your concern is appreciated.
Seriously, you are making a fucking fool of yourself. Keith has finally gone the way of Kegdraining and Squadfather. Onlyme is no more, no matter what gimmick he posts under. He has killed himself and now you should think about doing the same.
-
Danm! Duce! You were supposed to ask me a QM question.
Are you in the business of giving such advice free of charge, or do I gotta pay you now?
My second question: Why are you so concerned about Keith and his forthright and honest adventures?
And I guess I should thank you for your "fucken fool" concerns while I'm at it too.
A :"fucken fool" and a "lapdog" and accused of being Keith and last in line at mankind's execution. All of this in one night's sitting.
Can an internet life get any better?

Hey which gimmick are you moron. Come on fess up. We all know there are only a few idiots as dumb as you. And please don't kill yourself. You are fast becoming the #1 joke on here.
Stunt, you have to treat guys like this like you would a retard. It is so apparent his insecurity is his strongest trait. He has nothing else. Think about how shitty his parents feel when they have to introduce him as their retarded step son. Now that is a lot to live with. Give him a break

See all the things one can do if you were to log off of Getbig long enough to step outside?
Oh well...you're still GOATBOY from the message boards!
:D the thruth..

No you wouldn't cause you would pee your pants. You forget we have seen your pics. There probably isn't anyone who posts here gayer than you. I take shits bigger than you. Don't let hiding behind a computer give you imaginary balls. Cause they aren't real. Face it in real life son you are a joke no matter how you look at it. But I actually love those pics you have of me. Post some more. Of course no photoshop is needed with your pics to make them any funnier than they already are. Glad to see you back. Just hope mommy doesn't catch you though this time.
At least he's honest about that...everything else, eh, not so much...

Onlyme!! You need to relax. Your epic and apocalyptic meltdowns on this thread are fast becoming things of legend! If you want to save any of your "credibility" you should just stop now and take a break. No need to go the way of Kegdrainer and the Squadfather, some would say your are actually worth having around.
-
I bet Keith is gonna tell Elton John about us not buying his stories
After that, he'll do a piece for Anderson Cooper but the story wont air because the camera will be defective
-
"What happened to Bennett?"
"I let him go"
Fucking Classic.
wasn't it Sali that he let go? then he drives off in a Porsche that has no damage after it just had its side caved in.

Whose gimmick are you? 58 posts and you act like you now a lot. So it is obviously a gimmick from one of the pussy who got such a huge meltdown he had to start using his gimmick. Is "pathetic" a word you heard a lot when growing up. I guarantee it is now. Gotta love your screen name BigFNDouche. At least you are honest about your insecurity. hahaha love you man

Yeah, when I first got a look at those things I thought Hazbin must be some sort of midget with dwarfism syndrom, those froearms were so damn freaky I could not believe it when he told ne how tall he was.

His arms aren't as big as your monsterous 20" pythons. Post some pictures and prove your claims.

Say what you like about Keith, but he does have a rather spiffy mustache.
-
when i met Keith he treated me with nothing but respect and honesty. there were prominant people in the fitness industry lined up to talk to him. most of us won't meet a tenth of the famous people that call Keith a friend.
Keith, you have my respect, rik

Agreed Keith seems like a real good guy... I don't understand why so many people hate on the man, other then maybe they long for the keith dong and got denied? He has never been a dick to me and I enjoy reading his stories, he has the pics to back it up and before the spider bite the guy looked yoked to me? Can someone explain why Keith gets all the hate? Being serious...
Keith when is the gym going to be started? I will be in Vegas in Sept for a week... You going to be done by then?

Gym won't be done by then. We are negoitating on the lease still. A lot of hidden problems, not with the property but with a few of the terms they are demanding. But I want this location and have spent a lot of money on the due diligence already. Once I have the lease signed I want to start a thread that I will use as a daily diary for the development of the gym. I think it would be neat to let everyone know what it is like building a gym of this size from the ground up. The stress though is taking its toll on me a little. Hard to think about others things.

Hey Monster Hammer-where do you live??? I am going let you see the guns up close I think, maybe you and your BF Baroni would like a piece of them!
-
What is it with you guys who think Keith is not speaking the truth when he mentions who he met? I know for a fact that he has met every individual he has ever spoken about (and many more), and all those stories are interesting; while those of you who claim he is telling less than the truth never have anything interesting to write about.
Get out and start shaking hands with the rich and famous and the poor and humble and maybe you'll be less boring the next time you post on GetBig.com.
And while I'm at it, please allow me to drop a few names of the folks I've been in contact with throughout the years...... I'll do my best to start at the beginning ...... and finish at the end.
Rudy Pellegrini .... He was in my kindergarten class
Rita Hayworth - She was my baby sitter before she became a star.
Kim Novak - Pretty lady even without all that makeup. She enjoyed talking after shooting a scene, so we talked lot while the heavy make-up on her face cracked like a jig-saw puzzle.
Frank Sinatra - Did a scene him when I was a stunt-kid in Pal Joey. Rolled out of a bar and knocked me over. They cut it. Damn!
Alfred Hitchcock - Could have been a great powerlifter but he always wanted to make movies and did some good ones. He was Psycho!
James Garner - Great guy on the set. Told me he was sorry for forgetting his lines so many times.
Rosseline Russell - Great lady but I never could spell her first name correctly.
James Drury - Remember him? I bet not.
Doug McClur - I bet not too.
A dude named Arnold - Many many times, but that wasn't till the late 60's / early 70's but had to sneak him in here now to keep some of you awake.
Draper - he made waves.
Tony Curtis - He loved "Some Like it Hot" and enjoys talking about the making of that great film.
Marilyn Monroe - Sold her a ticket to a grammer school carnival when I was just a little kid.
Joe Dimaggio - He and Dominick were playing baseball in the San Francisco Marina and we had a BarB-Q after the game and talked lots.
Clayton Moore - We had dinner at the height of his career but I really wanted to meet Tonto.
Two of the original Our Gang kids - they were both real old kids then. SOrry that I forgot their names.
Phyllis Thaxter escorted to our dinner by Jeff Hunter.
Art Linkletter
Jerry Lewis - At first when he was partnered with Dino and making movies and then later on without Dino and making movies and helping kids.
Bob Crosby - Never did meet Bing though.
Harry James - I helped him pack his trumpet.
Doug Strohl - At the orignal Muscle Beach on a foggy Saturday morning. Others too but I don't wanna be a name dropper here.
Bob Hope - He told me Bing Crosby stories for 20 minutes. Met again many many times while the bullets flew a mile or two away.
Reg Park - He showed up because Steve Reeve's didn't. We assumed that Steve was at his high school prom.
Mae West - She thanked me for something I can't recall ever doing. I think she thought I was W.C. Fields. (Bad eyesite).
Burt Goodrich - He was escorting Mae. Very impressive man for his age. (Good eyesite)
Steve Reeves - Many times from when he was an 18 year old kid and tapped me on my head up to a few years before he passed away. Later on in his life he was very concerned about the BB world's reliance on roids and he also really enjoyed watching "Hercules". More to follow later.
George Eifferman - Gave me a personal award.
Tommy Kono - Proud to call Tommy a good friend.
Bill Peanuts West and George Frenn - Powerlifting and strength greats back in the 60's. Greats to the point of insanity.
Bob Zuver and Rhino too! - You don't really know much about the BB world if those names are unfamiliar.
Pat Casey - First man to officially bench press 600. I was there and a lion roared. (We were by the San Diego Zoo. In a Police Department recreation center by that zoo if I recall correctly.) The lion roaring at that precise time when he completed his record setting lift is something I will always remember.
Marlon Brando - A real young actor who wanted to tell us that he was gonna be a great actor one day. And we were young enough to believe him. (At a bar called the Lamp-Post on a side street in Hollywood that served beer to 17 - 18 - 19 year old teenagers if you looked big enough to fool the cops and hope that they'd not come in off the street to have a beer themselves.)
Eddie Fisher - Showed off his brand new Ford convertable.
Larry Scott - a kid with potential who looked more like a gymnast back then. Later on in life he made a name for himself in the BB world and gave the best BB seminars of all time.
And Harold Sakada - But I'll leave it up to you to tell me who Harold was.
I can name many many more from those early days but I don't want to be called a "name dropper" so I'll quit while I'm ahead. If anyone is interested I'll continue into the 60's, 70's and BEYOND in a later posting.
Did I beat ya yet, Keith? I do know for a fact that I did for that time period.
HEY! Keith, did I meet HAZBIN too?
-
Good stuff stunt................kee p it coming and more stories on these people as well.
-
Thanks, Wes. But if I told ya too much stuff, you'd have to kill me; so I'll just continue droppen names without too much honest stuff that would get me in too much trouble.
Here is some trouble-free stuff that I think is funny and interesting enough to tell.
When we picked Steve up at the airport to take him to a "Welcome, Steve Reeves" shindig, we began talking about the olds day of the "sport" of bodybuilding (old days in this regard means the 40's and the 50's when Steve was still a teenager and a bit beyond), his early movie and TV efforts (The Ralph Edwards Show, Jail Bait, The Burns and Allen Show, Athena, L'il Abner, and Kismet - I think it was Kismit), his career making the Herc movies, and his future plans.
But the main thing he was really concerned about during that 20 minute limo ride was the present situation of roids in the BB world. He made it clear that he was really disappointed in that respect. In fact, he seemed rather sad while discussing it.
Upon arriving at the function everyone was standing around talking to one another awaiting his arrival. But Hercules (the original movie) was playing on a big screen in the corner and had about 20 minutes to go until the end.
Steve looked around the room and saw that everyone seemed to be having a good time talking to one another so he nudged two of us to come with him and take a seat in front of that big screen and watch the last 20 minutes of so of Hercules the original.
So we did just that and Steve was offering soft spoken comments on the various scenes we were watching (mainly thanks to Joseph Levine and polite comments about the actresses Sylva someone and Maria someone).
When it was all over he stood up and said, "OK, let's go meet everyone. I want to shake hands with everyone here. I guess that's why they all showed up."
So we toured the room in an orderly progression and Steve met everyone, some of whom he had already known from earlier occasions in his lifetime including Tommy and Harold and Peter George; so it took an hour or so to shake all those hands and talk old time stories as briefly as possible.
We took lots of group photos but I have no idea where those photos are now; but I'm gonna do my best to get some from the one person I know who has the identical set and then post them on here unless I can sell them for millions of dollars to one of the national mags.
Anyway, this wasn't a real eye-opening, adventurous story but I thought that it was interesting that Steve felt bad about the present condition of bodybuilding and also that he was still interested in watching parts of a movie that he had made 40 year's earlier. And telling it once again encourages me to look for those great photos taken on that occasion back then and get 'em posted for the world to see.

Stunt that is not a bad list but mine is bigger cause I actually worked with them. If I put down every celebrities I just shook hands with or was in the same room with it would be unreal. But I try to keep it where I have some kind of story not just a i met this guy here or there even though there are plenty of those. And to tell you the truth I never really made a big deal out of who I have met or worked with till posting this stuff on Getbig. Everyone else was a big deal out of it. I usually post something relative to the thread. I just don't randomly post a pic of someone just to post a pic of me and whoever. And I forget half the shit I have done or the people I meet cause at the time it was just something I did a lot of.
Here is a name dropper so then the guys who rag on me can rag some more. I kinda like it. I was playing in a tennis/golf tournament in Boca Raton, FL at the then Vitas Giralitis International Tennis Center. By the way I was doing an event in Miami a fund raiser for MDA and one of the organizers asked me to be in the event. I remember them asking me if I wanted to play tennis or golf. I said both. They couldn't believe I wanted to play tennis. But I showed them when I made it to the finals. A lot of major celebs were involved including (here we go) Vitas, Bjorn Borg, Vija Armatraij(sp?), Roscoe Tanner, Nels Van Patton, Stephan Edberg, NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry, Dr. J, John Havlichik(sp?), Linda Evans, Woody Harelson, Kristina Wayborn (pictured), and several very famous musicians but I can't remember their names, the guy who played Jimmy Olsen in the Superman movie (he beat me in the "closet to the pin hole) and quite a few others including pro golfers who we were teamed up with. In my foursome was Dr. J. He cheats. We also got to to some opening of a gym and played basketball against the Fire and Police Dept. for charity. I was in awe. Dr. J, Rick Barry and John Havlechik were on my team and I got to play with them. It was unreal. I actually got a pass for Dr. J and made a basket. I swear to god. I played tennis with Nels Van Pattan (who was my pro) against Bjorn Borg and Kristina Wayborn. It was a packed arena and was awesome. Rick Barry served as good as any pro said Vitas and Bjorn. I was sitting up with them along with Grandma Gerulitis. She was very nice. They treat you like kings at events like that one. My personal assistant they assigned me ended up being more than just my assistant. She came to the black tie party with me in which I didn't wear a back tie. I hid in the back and then I saw Woody come in and he was even in a tux. I saw him across the room. i couldn't believe it. Then as he got closer I saw it was just one of those t-shirts that look like a tux. that was very funny and we hung out near the back so no one would see us. Had a great party aboard a yacht called Monkey Business. It was some boat that was part of a political scandal.
Anyway, there is a story that all my fans here can rag me on for name dropping. Oh and Stunt, I think you met Hazbin but of course you probably forgot. He is a really nice guy and built unreal
-
What is it with you guys who think Keith is not speaking the truth when he mentions who he met? I know for a fact that he has met every individual he has ever spoken about (and many more), and all those stories are interesting; while those of you who claim he is telling less than the truth never have anything interesting to write about.
Get out and start shaking hands with the rich and famous and the poor and humble and maybe you'll be less boring the next time you post on GetBig.com.
And while I'm at it, please allow me to drop a few names of the folks I've been in contact with throughout the years...... I'll do my best to start at the beginning ...... and finish at the end.
Rudy Pellegrini .... He was in my kindergarten class
Rita Hayworth - She was my baby sitter before she became a star.
Kim Novak - Pretty lady even without all that makeup. She enjoyed talking after shooting a scene, so we talked lot while the heavy make-up on her face cracked like a jig-saw puzzle.
Frank Sinatra - Did a scene him when I was a stunt-kid in Pal Joey. Rolled out of a bar and knocked me over. They cut it. Damn!
Alfred Hitchcock - Could have been a great powerlifter but he always wanted to make movies and did some good ones. He was Psycho!
James Garner - Great guy on the set. Told me he was sorry for forgetting his lines so many times.
Rosseline Russell - Great lady but I never could spell her first name correctly.
James Drury - Remember him? I bet not.
Doug McClur - I bet not too.
A dude named Arnold - Many many times, but that wasn't till the late 60's / early 70's but had to sneak him in here now to keep some of you awake.
Draper - he made waves.
Tony Curtis - He loved "Some Like it Hot" and enjoys talking about the making of that great film.
Marilyn Monroe - Sold her a ticket to a grammer school carnival when I was just a little kid.
Joe Dimaggio - He and Dominick were playing baseball in the San Francisco Marina and we had a BarB-Q after the game and talked lots.
Clayton Moore - We had dinner at the height of his career but I really wanted to meet Tonto.
Two of the original Our Gang kids - they were both real old kids then. SOrry that I forgot their names.
Phyllis Thaxter escorted to our dinner by Jeff Hunter.
Art Linkletter
Jerry Lewis - At first when he was partnered with Dino and making movies and then later on without Dino and making movies and helping kids.
Bob Crosby - Never did meet Bing though.
Harry James - I helped him pack his trumpet.
Doug Strohl - At the orignal Muscle Beach on a foggy Saturday morning. Others too but I don't wanna be a name dropper here.

Totally cool, stunt. Would have loved to have met some of the old movie stars. Rita Hayworth before she changed her name and fixed her hairline is still Rita Hayworth to me!
/harold sakaTa is oddjob, natch. :)

I forgot him. The thing I liked about the professor is that he always remembered my name.

what did she do to her hairline?

Keith
Great pic Keith! Who was that actress?
-
what did she do to her hairline?
Well, she was a lot *hairier* before Hollywood made her a star and they raised her hairline significantly. She was originally in a troupe led by her father - The Cansinos (her real last name). Stunt mentioned meeting Sinatra and Kim Novak - well those two along with Miss Hayworth were all in Pal Joey. TCM plays it on occasion. It's ok, but not any of their best work by any stretch.

Great pic Keith! Who was that actress?
That is Kristina Wayborn she starred in Octopussy she was the girl who went backwards off the lanai. And also I get the guy Stuntmovie mentioned in the James Bond movies with my friend Professor Toru Tanaka who is the guy I know through Chuck Norris and Benny Urquidez.

Have you ever banged one of these hollywood sluts?
-
Keith..... You are mixing Harold Tanaka up with The Professor ...... DAMN! Now you got me confused...!!!!
Thanks, Dr Chimp, you are correct. Harold was Odd Job in Gold Finger.
And I was the guy you never saw in Pal Joey. They cut me! But here is how all that came about.
After a basketball game a shit-load of us high school kids were driving around the hills of San Francisco in my '39 Chevy (it was the Chevy that had the vacumn shift?) looking for a store that would sell us some beer and ended up in Chinatown thinking that the Chinese liquor store owners would think us "devil dogs" were much older than 17.
And while driving up Grant Avenue in search of a couple of six-paks, I noticed a big movie production going on in front of one of the local bars. So I told the guys that they've have to hold off a while for a couple of beers cause I was gonna be in a movie!
SO I pulled off to the side of the road and jumped out and jumped into a crowd of Chinese guys who were supposed to be extras walking down this Chinatown street. Pretty soon this director comes over and sees me, an Swedish-Irish, six foot guy, standing and trying to look inconspicuous in the center of a bunch of 4 foot 6 inch Chinese guys. And he started to get suspecious but he was too busy with other details and just said ... "OK, all you guys simply walk up this street and just react normally to whatever happens."
That sounded easy enough, so I stayed in the center of this Chinese crowd and walked up the street as directed and thinking all the while. "How would a real actor walk up this street in a real life situation." And all that came into my mind was that that "real actor" would look at his watch to see what time it was.
So I looked to see what time it was and all I hear is "Cut! Cut! Cut! You ain't got no watch, your moron and you were in center frame!"
So we all hearded back to our original positions and redid the shot and this time I did not look at the wrist watch I was not wearing and as I was once again directly in front of that camera lens, a door flies open and some person who was supposed to be Sinatra but wasn't comes falling out and hits me on my knees and I go to the ground and the real Sinatra who is sitting in a chair by the camera is laughing and says, "That looked good. Let's wrap it up and all go home!"
And of course they all agreed to do as Mr Sinatra said and I stood there a couple of minutes thinking I'd be interviewed or get some sort of praise or payment but they actually all did start tearing down and going home and simply left me there watching all this stuff happening all around me.
My first 15 minutes of fame was over in a flash, but unbeknownst to me just then - another quarter hour was soon to follow.
So I went back to the car and we headed into the deeper interior of Chinatown and finally found the beer that brought us to there in the first place. We sat at the Coit Tower hilltop and drank that beer and talked about being movie stars one day soon and looked down the hill a bit and sure enough - that same damn movie crew was setting up just about 50 yards away for the scenes they were planning to shoot tomarrow.
As we walked back to my car I stopped by one of the production trucks and saw the sheet that showed the next day's shooting schedule. Kim and Frank were the only stars on that list and I decided right then where I'd be tomarrow.
I was actully determined to have a PICNIC with Kim! And if you ever saw her early movies, you'd understand exactly why.
-
PICNIC!? LOL. Maybe William Holden will hit town and spoil your plans.
/great stories, stunt. i love 'em.
-
Have you ever banged one of these hollywood sluts?
Doubtful. He hasn't been able to find his dick for a decade. Life as a 700-lb whale isn't easy!
-
Posted Today:
I'm thinking after the game he had tea with Mariah Carey, Brad Pitt, and the Pope. ;D
Please....call me Benedict XVI.
I insist
-
OK, back to the serious shit here.
The next day after school got out, I hopped in my '39 Chevy with the vacumn shift (that vacumn shift gets important in a future story involving bodybuilders racing cars down some huge San Francisco hills -that Steve McQueen movie scene was based on some of our shinanigans, so I've been told) and head off to Coit Tower.
They started without me and the whole area is mobbed with people wanting to see a movie with Kim and Frank being made, but we had to be content with mere glimpses of the stars from at least 30 - 40 yards away.
But I really wanted to meet Kim much closer up and talk to her if the opportunity arose.
So I schemed up a plan and hitched my belt and followed through. There was a stack of electrical wires off to the side by one of the studio vehicles so I went over and picked up one of the rolls and swung it over my shoulder and walked through the crowds as well as the police barrier by simply saying, "Make a hole! Coming through!". And like Moses I passed through a wide opening of willing movie fans and the "copper" whose duty it was to keep 'little people" like me from interferring with the stars even lifted the barrier as a courtesy to a hard working, movie making, electrical wire person assistant. (I forget the official working title for such a person, but there actually is one and he gets screen credits and residuals now and a damn good salary).
SO now I'm 17 with an electrical cord hung over my shoulder and heading towards all those lights and the camera and another bunch of "hanger on-ers" who always travel with the stars (Mark Wahlberg and Eddie Murphy have carried on with that tradition tremendously> Just ask them and see who has the most. And all these "hanger oners" are even fed on the set.).
And there in the center with San Francisco Bay as the background stands Kim and Frank doing a scene all by their lonesomes. And some director says, "Cut! Wrap!" and Sinatra turns and says someting like "Adios" and heads off for his limosine. And Kim simply stands there looking like an angel all dressed up with no place to go while all the rest of the production crew go about doing whatever production crews are supposed to do.
So I see my chance and drop the electrical cord and walk up to Kim and say, "Great job, Miss Novak! We're gonna love this movie!". And she looks up and looks me in the eye and says, "Thank you. I think it's going to be a great movie too!" And then she smiled and ........
Her makeup starts to crack around every smile-line that a face can make during the smiling process.
And she says, "Oh dear! I'll falling apart!". And that is when one of the crew members decides to interrupt our Picnic and invite himself to ruin our day. He must have been the production tissue paper guy because he offered Kim (I called her Kim now that we were this far in our relationship) a tissue from a big box of tissues and she wiped some makeup off the corners of her mouth and asked what job I had on the set and I told here I didn't have any job on the set but I was her biggest high school fan in the whole damn city of San Francisco. And then I told her how commited I was to meet her and how I pulled it off and she started laughing and grabbed my arm to keep from falling over and congratulated me for a job well done because it was really difficult to pull such a stunt on a movie set.
And as she laughed and held on to my arm more makeup fell off and with an "Oh,dear!" she shook my hand and said goodbye to excuse herself to get cleaned up as the sun slowly set beyond the Golden Gate. And then she was gone. She was "outta here".
Cut! Wrap! Print! And i faded to black.
And that was the extent of my Picnic with Kim. Sad to say but we never met again because most of us only get 15 minutes and I think I owe someone five.
(Slowly fade to black with Moonglow in the background).
How's that, Keith!? Only part of this that may be in error is - '39 vacumn shift Chevy'. My uncle had a car dealership so I had a good number of old cars when I was a kid and actually forget most of them. If he couldn't sell it, I got to use it. It could have been the cherry "41 Ford.
-
Dr. Chimps, how do you know all this movie stuff so well? I was only less than a year old at the time when Rita Hayworth was my "babysitter" so I don't recall her hairline back then but she was making some sort of appearance at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco where my dad worked and somehow volunteered to babysit while my folks had dinner down the street at a place call Valtaveran(?) or something like that. I offer these names because you might know this stuff better than I do and refresh my memory or correct me where I'm in error
Later on when she married Ali Aga Khan (a Prince in Pakistan) we had to keep informed about that state of affairs in the event that anyone in the family was invited to the wedding. Fortunately no one in the family was invited. "Fortunately" because no one even owned a tie, let alone a Sunday meeting suit.
But an even better invite occured when one of my family relations on the English side who lived in San Francisco did attend the Queen's coronation back when she was "coronated". The Queen or one of here minions even sent an English "Gentleman" (liveryman??) to San Francisco to help them pack and make all the arrangements to see the crowning of Queen Elizabeth from real up close up front.
Now if that ain't a name-dropper, I don't know what is!
How the hell is this remotely connected to the world of Bodybuilding. (Maybe Dorian Yates' dad also attended and sat more towards the very last pew?) Anyone here got Royal Blood?

hahahah coming from the self proclaimed fag. It is a safe to say I have forgot more girls I have been with then you have even been with and that is with a shitty last decade. Goatballs you truly have to stop trying to fit in. It just doesn't work for you. All your talk is fine and dandy to impress your boyfriend and other kids on the block but in reality, dude you are embarrassing. Hope this helps.
Stunt all I know for someone who can't remember yesterday your memory about the long past is awesome. Also, why don't you and Terry call me tonight. Lets talk about that charity thing he has. I like it so lets see what we can do.
-

You guys show some respect for Keith...Keith Once sat Next to Jonsey at a charity Event...
Are there things dicky?
-
you bastard ;D
Hey nico Spermo Storky Dorky :-*
-
Keith, on the Charity shindig, I have already mentioned your exceptional capabilities to Ter in this regards and we are planning to put together a package which I will bring with me to LV. That includes the information brochure that they are presently working on as well as other details. I told him that this is right up your alley and he is looking forward to me getting it to ya.
I also forwarned Jeff that I was heading in his direction and he advised me that the dogs would be locked up. Little does he know that those Dalmations love me better than they like him. I'll probably leave his place with all the most recent issues and one of those adjustable weight contraptions he always wants me to depart with. I think that's in his effort to get rid of me, but I'm always invited to stay for a steak dinner if I have nowhere else to fine dine. He is very kind. Not just to me, but to one and all.
C.E. loves me lots though so that makes up for it. And the doggies too. This time I plan to count the cacti. I will keep you fully informed and discuss these details with you while fine dining at Ellis Island.
J.E. also likes the Charitable shindig but is so damn busy with the publication that he has little time to even think about anything else other than how to get me to leave sooner or even before I arrive. Usually I get the psychic message and leave after a brief visit and how-de-doo and continue on over the hill and through the pass to Paradise Cove which looks nothing like Waikiki but is considered to be one of the best beaches in So Cal. (Rich Malibu people hang out there looking for other rich people to hang out with ..... so I usually just take a seat at the bar and have one of their $9 beers and eat free peanuts while talking to other free peanut eaters looking for a Hollywood movie career. Had a talk to someone related to Lucy and Desi but I have no idea other than that who the hell that was.
Tommy Wishbone has probably done the same on many occasions so he can join us with your approval when we fine dine at Ellis Island. Then I can collect my $100. I totally believe that a bet made is a bet paid!
Do you have any idea what a Spermo Storky Dorky is? Does it even have to be capitalized? Sounds like a great kid's song. Write the lyrics, DF, and I might be able to use it in my next production. Have your guys contact my guys once you get it done. Someone once submitted "Blue Nose Gopher" but that one fell by the wayside so don't set your hopes too high.
Ok, thanks again, ya'll. Might be seeing some of you in Las Vegas. Just look for the guy talking to the guy with the fart machine.

I'm just a movie nerd. I love all those old movies and do some reading up on stuff/people I like. Maybe I'm romanticizing the past, but it just seems like there was more 'class' or 'grace' back then. Would have loved to have a drink with William Powell or trade a joke with Irene Dunne,etc. There are a few others on Getbig who like the movies like I do - Tim Wescott and Tapeworm come to mind.
/almost ran into patricia neal last year at sardi's. i think i would have stuttered or wet myself if i actually came face to face with her. i still have such a crush on her...the summer dress she wore in hud...and i would ask her about paul newman and melvyn douglas, etc. :)

A 600-lb morbidly obese lardass is a "nobody". Until you drop your weight enough that you can rejoin the human race (assuming you ever do), you're nothing but a carnival sideshow.
Hope this helps.

This one is for Dr Chimps unless you like the movie business. I can't even begin to tie this one up with bodybuilding except that there is a strong possibility that Arnold worked on one of these sound stages many years later .....
Dr., does the name Edward Everett Horton jog your memory banks? I spent a lot of time with Mr Horton on the set of Universal's Perils of Pauline. He went way back in the movie industry and had some phenominal stories to tell, but he never could complete one or reach the punch-line because the director was always calling him to get in the scene.
It took him many many retakes to do a scene you might recall if you ever saw that film (I myself never saw it) in which he had to use the word "congeal" in a sentence where he was explaining what was happening to Pam Austin (Pauline) while they were in the process of freezing her in a "block of ice". The line was rather long but the hard part for him was "and her blood will congeal" and he kept on flubbing it.
When they successfully got that scene in the can (way over 20 takes) he walked over to me and said, "What the hell does "congeal" mean?!"
Do you remember him from the old day movies?
ANd how about Stirling Holloway?
Are you knowledgeable regarding Pam Austin and how she passed away? My good friends were all stunt people back then and I had complete and total access to each and every sound stage except for one that was completely closed to all ....that was a Hitchcock production.
I watched from the sidelines the very first scene ever shot for the Perry Mason TV show. It was a scene of him sitting in a wheelchair in a dark room by a fireplace. Kind of boring so I left that soundstage and went over to a bigger one which had a big artificial hill as a set and they were actually filming with real live cattle walking over that hill towards the camera while the cowboys sat around a campfire. That was some Barbara Stanwick western thing. Then I went to another soundstage where a buddy of mine was playing an ape in an ape-suit climbing all over the real sized sailing ship that they used in the original Mutiny on the Bounty. I climbed all over that ship trying to figure out where Gable and Laughton stood in various scenes. The backdrop that appeared to be the ocean in the movie was actually a big ocean colored screen with tinsel hanging down every few inches. They add a fan and turn it on and shoot the footage and it turned out looking like the real thing on the silver screen. Lots of fake stuff going on in the movie business and a lot of it is real simple and "invented" just minutes before the camera rolls. At least back then it was.
Later on we spend many hours looking at all the major set that were either built or in the process of being built. Most memoriable was tthe Monster's House (was that the one with the dragon under the stairs?) and one of the King Arthus movies that was probably more realistic than the real hall were the Knights of the Round Table actually met to discuss there daily affairs. I actually grabbed a sword and had a swordfight with one of the stunt guys on that huge table which must have weighed a couple of tons as it was used in the movie for a major sword battle in which a lot of guys were on it fighting to the death. Spent a lot of time touring through some major but artificial jungles which were just completed hours before and meeting the stars who would be escaping from various tribes or wild animals when the cameras rolled. Those set 'dressers"/designers can accomplish miracles.
The stunt guys back then would always show their mutual respect by hitting me over the head with one of those breakable beer bottles seen in every cowboy bar scene movie ever made. And you knew you were really appreciated when they broke a chair over your head or threw ya through the window. But those windows were relatively expensive back then (made of spun sugar I've been told) so that was a rare occurence. I was only thrown once and that was merely down a 20 foot wet table at the end of which was a neat stack of beer bottles. Kind of like bowling with a real live body. But that was on a military movie set and duplicated what actually happens in real life many years before and after.
I was not in that movie but just happened to be there when they needed a body to practice with and throw down that slick table. I was just the practice guy and once again got no credit, no paycheck, no reward of any kind. Just a memory of it all happening which was good enough for me.

Simply awesome, stunt

Thanks, Moose. And "NO! I cannot get you in the movies!"
But if I ever see Kim again, you can be sure I'll be telling her about your accident and successful recovery and some of your "craziness" as well as other interesting BB stories that I've heard on here.
She'll like that lots. I just hope her house is still standing.

Great stuff, as usual, Stunt. Sure, EE Horton was in all those great Depression-era screwball comedies, as well as in all the really good Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movies. He was a great foil. Also, they sorta 'typecast' him in other movies as a 'pansy.' Oh, and also in the superb Lost Horizon with Ronald Coleman. Stirling Holloway is also going way back. He was a vaudeville guy that did some '30's movies - song and dance guy. Gold Diggers of '33, maybe? I know he was in WC Fields' International House doing a skit. Now that movie is a real oddball classic and very rarely seen these days. :)
-
And "NO! I cannot get you in the movies!"
Stunt, get me in as an extra or stunt double..... thanks ;D
-
Dr. Chimps, you know this stuff good. If ya don't mind I'll tell ya more so I can get it written down and not forget it. ANd you got Stirling right but you failed to mention that he was the voice of the Cheshire cat in Disney's Alice in Wonderland. I knew him fairly well when I lived near Laguna Beach many years ago. He was acting when he was a young kid is in some of those Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney movies.
Can you recall that old time actor who usually appeared as the head waiter and walked the principal players to their table. He did this popping thing with his lips by hitting them with the palm of his hand or the tips of his fingers. I gotta do some research on these old time character actors. Might be a great respite from the competitive bodybuilding world.
JohnnyV, No I cannot get you a stuntman's job. But my best bud in the Corps was Jack Tyree who was one of the original founders of the Stuntmen's Association (or was it Stunts unlimited - or possibly both). He and James Drury and a couple of others set that organization up and built it from the beginning until Jack eventually passed away while make "The Sword and the Sorceror". That film was dedicated to him at the concluding credits and it a very strange story in itself which I think I wrote about on here a few years back.
I missed a lot of stunt work opportunities because I was off in some bnackward country fighting a war whenever the opportunity arose ... such as appearing as some mentally deranged and fire damaged bear in the forest (she was only protecting her young who was also badly disfigured from a forest fire - you probably saw it - I forget its name but Chimp probabloy know it, and then as some underwater sea creature that causes a lot of trouble for a beachfront, Disneyland type park in So Cal, and a number of motorcycle movies that were made in the Hollywood Hills off Mulholland Drive. These motorcycle movies were made with barrowed (actually stolden for 24 hour periods on the weekends) equipment from the various studios that turned an eye to those sorts of stuntmen shenanigans. No one seemed to really care as long as it was all back to where it was supposed to be every Monday morning. And eventtually these motorcycle movies were release throughout the US at various country drive ins and all over Japan in their little towns up and down the countryside. ANd they made money because no one got paid up front. Everyone just took a chance on the weekend in that hope that they would benifit later on. And IT WORKED.
I even attended a meeting at Sean Flynn's (Errol Flynn's son) residence in Studio City at which one of these movies was planned for the following weekend. All these motorcycle guys and stuntmen in their cowboy clothes gathered around a smokey table overlooked by original Rimbrants, Van Gohs, and other masterpieces. At first I thought that they were copies but then someone said that they belonged to his dad and I asked. "Who was his dad?" and got the answer and fully understood that these were genuine originals.
I was on set up in those hills on many occasions but never did have an inclination to hop on a bike and get in the picture. I enjoyed it more behind the camera and handing out the band-aids when required. Or serving as a lookout when the cops were on their way.
Most of those guys are long gone now and just last year I made a visit to the Stuntman's Association over in the valley only to see that eveything was completely different now and one new guy even told me that you had to be a cut-throat to get a decent stunt job in today's Hollywood motion picture producing machine. Either that or damn luck or have a family member involved in the production of that particular motion picture.
So, "NO! I cannot, JohnnyV!" Would if I could but I cannot. I can get myself stunt "coordinating" work but as I stated above, only if and when friends or family members are involved in that movies' production.

Hmm. I would have said Franklin Pangborn for the waiter (he played lots of officious roles), except for the popping thing which was Hugh Herbert's schtick. I love the old character actors...they all had *ahem*character and were memorable. Nowadays, it seems everyone wants to be the star and no one wants to be the support. Cool about Errol Flynn. He was terrific, but felt under-appreciated and had a kind of sad ending. Probably the best looking guy Hollywood has ever seen. There's a story (if I remember it correctly and it's not apocryphal!) about Errol and David Niven taking their old drinking buddy John Barrymore out on the town for one last pub crawl. Difficulty: The Great Profile was dead and they were carrying his corpse from bar to bar! :o
-
Update: Sorry Stunt. I did misremember. Getting common these days. :-\
from Wiki: According to Errol Flynn's memoirs, film director Raoul Walsh "borrowed" Barrymore's body after the funeral, and left his corpse propped in a chair for a drunken Flynn to discover when he returned home from The Cock and Bull Bar. This was re-created in the movie W.C. Fields and Me. Other accounts of this classic Hollywood tale substitute actor Peter Lorre in the place of Walsh, but Raoul Walsh himself tells the story in Richard Schickel's 1973 documentary The Men Who Made the Movies.

It really hasn't changed much in last few months. I have been inactive cause I twisted my knee. But I am eating better so not as much junk food and I do get around, just haven't been in the gym. I feel good though. Haven't had anything go wrong with the leg in a few months. I stretch all the time too

Fine and going forward but still working on the lease and shit. I want to try and open by Christmas but as it is getting closer might not. If I can start pre-sales by then I will be happy. A lot of bullshit comes with this. But it looks like everything will be worth it so I am sucking it up right now.

Actually it is "Ho's"..... "Hoes" are garden tools. ;D

No, Chimps, the character actor I am trying to identify with the mouth popping finger thing was neither Pangborn nor Herbert. Is there anyplace on the internet where one can see these old time movies that might specialize in these old time character actors.
I know that all this old timers passed away but who are today's "character" actors. I can look back into those 20's/30's/40's films and ID a character actor without actually knowing that actor's name but I can't ID any present day character actor. Who would you call a character actor in todays films? ANd just what made those old time character actors anyway? Did they have a certain "schnick" (?) that they used in every film that made them a character actor or was it just something in plain sight which I am overlooking?
I just did the Google thing and found a good Character Actor history site so I'll attempt to answer my own question and "get back to ya". That sounds like a show biz agent.
Great story on Flynn and his drinking buds. He really was the main Hollywood character during his day.

I met myself one day.....& wasn't really impressed
all that hype on knny187 on getbig is bullshit

Edward Everettt Horton also used to narrate the cartoon
"Fractured Fairy Tales" that was seen on Rocky & Bullwinkle.
Just some useless trivia that is stored with tons of other useless trivia inj my head!

Stunt, get me in as an extra or stunt double..... thanks ;D
C'mon man, you know you are too fat to be in the movies. Of course, there is always a chance that they'll remake The Blob! ;D

But more in line with the topic at hand .... bodybuilding and physical fitness. The following gentleman/actor/athlete was always on one or more of the movie sets at Universal back in his day and stayed in top shape throughout his lifetime.
Name him ......
-
I met the following actor (who appeared in a couple of films with the above pictured actor) at a dinner in LA a year or so before he passed away. He was way too young to do that but is still held in high esteem by the old time Hollywood crowd who he worked with back then .......
Name him and what TV show he starred in at the very beginning.........

Easy. That's Woody Strode. Amazing football player turned actor. In lotsa John Wayne pics and gets gunned down nicely by Bronson at the beginning of Once Upon a Time in the West. Also in Spartacus.
ADD: Didn't notice the second fellow. Looks a bit like Jeffrey Hunter
-
Correct on both accounts, Dr.Chimps, but how about Hunter's TV role?
My good friend (Jack) was a very close friend of Woody's and did a lot of western stunt work (actually one of the top stunt guys in the business back then). I was on a few of those western sets and saw Woody on a few occasions but never got the chance to meet him long enough to have a conversation. He would usually shoot his scene and head off to another location/sound stage to shoot another.
Chimps, I can tell you a few "inside stuffs" about the making of How the West Was Won which could be of interest here but I gotta refresh my memory by finding a couple of real old letters stuffed away up in the attic.
And I hated it when they "kilt" Woody off at the start of One Upon a Time ..... Jack told me to watch for WOODY in that movie and I went to see it assuming that he would have a starring role, but right off he gets KILT. DAMN!
Wasn't it Jack Elam with the water dripping on his hat? Or was it Jack with the fly in his pistol? That whole scene was a major part of that whole movie. Everyone on this Board should see that flick.
It's one of my favorite movies of all time and that song still goes through my head frequently.
Did you ever see "Welcome to Hard Times"? Another one of my favorite, bad-assed westerns. And Battlecry made me join the Corps. The author was my paper route manager. Name him, Chimp.

Holy smokes! You're covering good ground here. Let's see. Jeffrey Hunter had a few tv series', but I guess he is now most remembered for being the first Captain on Star Trek before that other guy took over. He died young, too, I think. Was in The Searchers as well. Damn good movie.
Would love to hear some stuff about How the West was Won. Kind of a long one as I remember with lots of good people in it and making cameos. Didn't see Jimmy Stewart as the trapper-type, tho. Walter Brennan as the killer was creepy. Richard Widmark was good in anything!
The water on the hat was Woody and the fly in the gun was Jack Elam. It's my favourite Leone western. Henry Fonda as the stone killer was amazing casting!!! My favourite favourite western is The Wild Bunch - Old and grizzled guys going out in a hail of bullets. You just can't beat that.
Welcome to Hard Times was one of those psychological westerns. Also has Fonda and Warren Oates, who is/was just amazing and really should have won an Oscar for Two Lane Blacktop. Now there's a little seen gem. I know that was EL Doctorow's first book. I've seen Battlecry, but I did not know the author. Wiki says it's Leon Uris. Wow that guy wrote some big books.
-
Seriously, you are making a fucking fool of yourself. Keith has finally gone the way of Kegdraining and Squadfather. Onlyme is no more, no matter what gimmick he posts under. He has killed himself and now you should think about doing the same.
Settle down big FNgimmick, your boyfriend is calling..
-
Yea, Chimps, believe it or not but Leon was the "newspaper route manager" who dropped off the Call Bulletin (an old time San Francisco newspaper) on various corners in the Sunset district of the city and we kids would sit on the curb and fold each newspaper up so that the bigger kids could throw them to the front doors while passing by on their bicycles.
Leon gave my cousin who was a few years older than myself an autographed copy of the first Battle Cry edition off the press. I wonder if he still has it?
I've seen bits and parts of The Searchers on the TV but actually I don't recall ever seeing Jeff Hunter in any movie he's ever made. I was too damn busy climbing trees and playing football to go to any movies back then I guess. When I met him with Phyllis Thaxter in Los Angeles, I could tell he was some kind of movie star but didn't know exactly who until we were introduced.
I didn't appreciate John Wayne back then until he made Sands of Iwo Jima (I was a USMC nut) because John Wayne was always John Wayne in every movie he ever made. When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton some of the guys made a movie on the base and invited Mr Wayne to attending the "premiere" which was going to held in The Sandpiper(an old bar and Marine Corps hangout in Laguna Beach back then because it was the midway point between Pendleton and the El Toro MC Air Base just a few miles further east.
I didn't attend it cause I was doing other things but Mr Wayne did show up for a brief visit and since I missed him I was sent on a "Meet John Wayne and Apologize" mission. So I headed up to one of the bars he frequented in the area of Newport Beach and went in search of one hell of a Marine Corps hero. Arrived at the bar (kind of like a Trader Vic's place) before sunset and took a seat at the bar and asked the bartender if Mr Wayne was expected that evening. ANd he turned and said, "Yea, Marine (aircut gave it away), and you're sitting in his seat so he'll be letting you know!"
I sat that seat for three hours and waited by he never did show up; so I gave up and headed back to the base. Got shit upon my return because my mission was to stay there until he did show up, but ..... I f----ked up I guess. Only one of the very few times I f---ked up though.
Same thing happened at Dino's on Sunset Blvd (or was it Hollyood?). I was supposed to introduce myself to Dean Martin and found myself sitting on his personal barstool and told to wait but I was a Marine and the beer and martinis started coming my way and I had to eventually fall out of that place and never did meet "Dino" either. I never did figure out how I got back that night. Made it though.
I'll go into some of those How the West was Won detail in my next post.
Chimps, can you do some deep research and find out how Pam Austin passed away? The stunt guys who knew her told me that she was decapitated while making an automobile commercial at USC when the camera boom failed to rise swiftly enough when she drove the car under it. Maybe that wasn't Pam who was driving. You ever hear a story similar to this one?
Welcome to Hard Times - Aldo Ray played the tuff guy.
I think that Elam came up with that 'fly in pistol' idea because he didn't want to just sit there and do nothing while looking down that track for that "gosh darned" train. From what I've heard, it wasn't in the original script.
Two things ya gotta remember for the How the West was Won input ...... a cactus on the side of the railroad track, and ...... the swinging logs on that train.
-
Settle down big FNgimmick, your boyfriend is calling..
Meltingdown over a gimmick that posted something a week or two ago? Not a good sign for your mental health!
-
Dr., you got five stars, I got four. What does that mean? I never did figure that one out. Does that mean we are real good guys or complete assholes.
Could not find the How The West Was Won drafts but here is what I do recall after long discussion with my friend Jack during the production of that movie. He was in it but he was never impressed with seeing himself on the silver screen (even as a monkey in the original Planet of the Apes) so he told me that his biggest scene was in the darkest part of that river-bank cave where all those bad people were seeking shelter.
But I do know for a fact that he was one of the more important stunt guys during that films's production. Especially during that fight sequence on the moving train. Here is where I may be mistaken, so someone's gotta excuse me if I "kill" the stuntman in the retelling of this story without his actually having been "kilt" during this stuntman sequence.
The train was actually moving along the railroad track and one of the railroad cars was rigged with bunch of logs that could actually roll out of place and some could pivot so that either end or both ends could hang over the edge of the car and the stuntguys could do their thing fighting while all those logs were in motion.
Heading off to an editing class, so this will have to be placed on hold till I get back...
-
To be continued.....
/great stuff, stunt. you've lived quite the life.
-
OK, I'll make this short this time .... Thanks, Chimps.
So the logs on the train were rigged to roll and turn from a pivot point so that the stunt guys could fight on and around them.
During that shoot two bad things happened.
One of the logs seriously hurt one of stuntman while it was being turned back into place.
And one of the stuntmen who fell (actually jumped) from the moving train was supposed to hit an artificial cactus which was intended to break his fall but instead he hit the cactus and bounced off of it back onto the moving train and was seriously hurt. Later on someone on the crew told me that he was actually killed but that is not a positive statement because I heard that a few years later.
Hollywood usually dedicates a film to anyone who is killed in the process of making that film, so if you have a copy of How The West Was Won, you might want to check the ending credits. I only saw that movie once in a movie theater and that was years ago.

Hollywood usually dedicates a film to anyone who is killed in the process of making that film, so if you have a copy of How The West Was Won, you might want to check the ending credits. I only saw that movie once in a movie theater and that was years ago.
A breakaway cactus - that didn't work!? Amazing. I've seen the movie 3-4 times. I usually watch it when I come across it on TCM. It's okay. It's long and the story isn't really coherent, but it has everyone who is anybody in it. Filmed in one of those weird widescreen formats, too. Oh, and Spencer Tracy does the 'voice of God' narration. I will definitely make a better effort to view it next time I come across it, and try to note the points you mentioned.

Hey Chimps, that "breakaway" cactus not only did NOT break away but it bent back like a spring and threw him back against that train.
Since you and I are the only ones reading this shit any more, I'll tell ya this personal family tale.
Back in the 50's my mom's cousin (Gil Donaldson) met a nice lady movie star by the name of Ruth Roman in the NYC area and got the chance to head out to Hollywood as a result of her introduction and he got the chance to work on down the road to "stardumb".
His first major film was "Dallas" starring Gary Cooper and Ruth Roman and for about 6 months before the release of that film, the Hollywood movie star magazines built him up as the next best thing and future super-star - a title that really felt embarrassing to him.
He did a great job in that film according to the cast and the crew and the major cridicts of that time but he just wasn't comfortable with all the "Yes, Sir - No, Sir shit" that went along with it and settled down to a more comfortable lifestyle out in the San Fernando Valley with his family making an occasional TV appearence - Dragnet, Lone Ranger,Kit Carson, Lassie and a few others never mentioned in IMDB.
"Stardumb" runs in my family, I guess. All the way from Dallas to Cirque du Soleil, to De La Guarda to Herb Ritts to most of the Levi TV and some of the Cavin Klein underware dudes, to uncle Joe's favorite brother and brother fitness cover guys, and even nephews who work on or off Broadway in NYC one auditioned for the Walt Disney Tarzan role but did not get it and he feels very fortunate now, to another nephew who constantly works in feature Hollywood TV and movie productions - The Tarzan TV series, The Grinch, The Animal, X-Men, Silver Surfer (I helped a bit on that one), another X-Men, PLanet of the Apes - Also features on the Apes DVD, Superman, Incredible Hulk, and others I presently forget. In addition he often helps the principal stars when they have difficulty coming up with new ideas on how to portray a new character.
Whenever we all get together during the Christmas holidays, we all laugh and wonder how all this shit happened: and I simply tell all of them that my grandmother's grandmother used to be one hell of a major opera singer back in the days when Opera was a major attraction. Then I proceed to tell them all the passed down verbal family stories of how our great great grandmother had a Pow-wow with a Cherokee in a TeePee and so we all have some Indian blood, but just not enough get any of that free stuff that the US government is passing around.
SO that is the history of our family tree on the Show Biz side. More to it but I forget it all just now.

I`m still reading stunt!! :)
Just saw Woody Strode in "The Ten Commandments" today............good flick.
Also,Chuck Connors who was billed as "Touch" Connors had a bit part.
Ever meet John Carradine or Walter Brennan stunt?
-
Fogot to add that I think the waiter guy with the mouth popping thing was a little Italian guy named Vito Scotti. :)

Two great (character) actors. Saw The Shootist last week with Carradine, bad hands and all; and I also just saw Walter in Support Your Local Sheriff. Two good last go-rounds.
-
Both great actors and two of my all time favorites.
Loved Walter Brennan as Stumpy in Rio Bravo!! LOL :)
Boy Carradines hands got bad as he aged huh...............looked quite painful to say the least.
Hey Chimps,do you remember the series with Brennan as Will Sonnett?
It was called appropriately enough,"The Guns Of Will Sonnet".

Rio Bravo is a classic! Everything you want in a Western. 'Course these days I get it confused with El Dorado. D'oh! I do remember that the Burdette bad guy later played the Stockburn bad guy in Pale Rider tho, so maybe all is not lost. As for Will Sonnett, I have heard of it, but not seen an episode, unlike -say- The Big Valley which I saw in reruns. I'm old, but not that old. >:( :D
-
Big Valley??
Never heard of it............I must be too young!! :)
Rio Bravos actors are interchangeable with El Dorados...........
Ricky Nelson = James Caan
Dean Martin = Robert Mitchum
Walter Brennan = Arthur Hunnicutt
John Wayne = John Wayne (in every role he ever played actually) :)

Hey, guys, thanks for hang'en in here. Looks like I got a bit of catch'en up to do.
WES, Nope it isn't Vito Scotti. Vito started in the business around 1949 and the guy I'm trying to recall with the mouth popping things was in the movies way before that time. Maybe the late or mid 30's actually. DO you recall what part Vito Scotti played in The Godfather?
Oppps! I amost forgot! I do have a Godfather story to tell later.
Never did meet Walter Brennan nor John Carradine. Never ever even met his son, but I did meet Buddy Ebsen and the misses once.
If "Big Valley" was the TV show with Barbara Stanwick, I was on that set numerous times and I'm honest when I tell ya that every hired cowboy extra on that set was 6'4" or over (either that or they wore height-builders in their cowboy boots). I'm 6' but I felt like a midget on that set. Even Jack who was 6'2" felt small and that got him in the mood to double Don Adams in one of the Get Smart TV episodes - he hung from that breakaway bridge at Universal and fell into the water. Jack was much taller than Adams but the camera was set up far enough away to create the "illusion".
I agree with ya, Wes, about John Wayne always being John Wayne. He could have sued himself for copyright infringement. BUT .... he was not John Wayne in that Rooster Cogburn movie. He even gets "kilt" in the end.
Never did meet Ricky Nelson but we actually did use to play vollyball with the Nelson family members on the beach behind their home in Laguna Beach. He might have been in the area but I never did see or meet him.
Here's a trivia question for ya all ..... Name the actor who had a serious ski accident when a ski pole pierced his heart?
Here's my Godfather story .......
Jack, my old Marine Corps bud I mention frequently, had done a major favor for one of the major studio honchos (actually owned it outright) and was always welcome on the lot at any time, work or not. So I was visiting with Jack and his family and he invited me to go and visit a studio and watch some picture make'n. SO he makes the call and we drive down to Santa Monica Blvd and are actually greeted at the studio gate by a guy in a suit who takes us directly to the owner's office who decides to escort us around the lot personally so he can check on the work under progress which was "Doctor's Wives".
So we proceeded into the inter-sanctum of the studio where we were treated like the most recent Academy Award reciprients (because we were with one who also owned the place). And we visited one of the huge sets which was being torn down since the movie was "in the can" and going through the editing process. That was "Marooned" and the set was actually a number of sets but the owner was only interested in commenting about "This damn robot that was supposed to travel down this damn hospital corridor and deliver these damn pills to the damn patients - cost me over $100,000 to make that damn robot work. And you won't even see in the damn picture!"
Then we walked into the studio where Doctor Wives was being filmed and the production (rehersals before the camera rolled) came to strict attention and a complete stop while "God" appeared within their presence. And we got introduced around a bit and someone comes running up to "God" and says, "Sir, Paramount got The Godfather!"
So I was among the first to know that Paramount got the Godfather but I had no idea what the Godfather even was back then. I actually thought that somebody shot someone in the Mafia back east and it was important for him to know.
ANd he appeared happy to hear about that, so we left the set and had a decent lunch at his private dining table where everybody nods while passing by .... and I'd nod back and tried to figure out how I knew that guy or gal cause they all looked sorta familiar.
This was the same day or the same week we had to drive to the top of Beverly Hills to resolve a family dispute. ANd that was the day I sat in the car while Jack went inside this damn impressive home and came out minutes later with the Oscar for me to hold while he took care of business.
Fifthteen minutes later he came out and took it back and replaced it on the mantel in the living room.
I asked him, "Why did you bring it out to the car in the first place?"
And he answered, "It was the only weapon I was concerned about in the living room. And I didn't want him to use it to hit me over my head"
So I guess I was the only one ever in Hollywood who prevented a murder from happening with an Oscar!
Top that, Keith!

The Barkley home on "The Big Valley", in the closing credits, that was just a facade-correct????

Long time, stunt. Barbara Stanwyck: Was there anything she couldn't do? Love the Godfather story. I'll take guess here: Your buddy Jack was 'owed' favours from Robert Evans for getting him out of a drug jam or a sex-with-a-minor shananigan?
-
Easy to top Stunt. My mom saw Ricky Nelson all the time as she did many many other celebrities because of her job. She did a lot of notarizing for him and got me his autograph a few times. As with Buddy Ebsen he came into our club several times back in the early 80's. He looked at least 150 years old back then. It was neat talking to Jed Clampett.
I remember every tuesday was Bill Daily's night out without his wife. He had an awesome looking wife. We always talked a lot when he came in. I am sure Max Rep had to have talked to him too when he came in. He was very nice. I remember I had a girlfriend who couldn't believe wherever we went someone knew me. So we went to Palm Springs one weekend and went to some restaurant that was really nice but away from the Palm Canyon. Well low and behold Bill was there and saw me. He comes up and hugs me and gets all excited. We sit down with them for dinner (yes he paid so free meal time). When we left Lori (my girlfriend) asked who that was and I said that was Major Healey from I Dream of Jeannie. She had no idea who it was.
Sorry everyone for the name dropping. Stunt lets talk about Jack Lord and Jim Nabors. There's two people we know and I talked to many times.

I worked with her on Falcon Crest. It was just a background shot but my buddy Joe Coppelleta (?) was a director on that show and got me on. I knew she was someone well known but didn't know much about her
-
And by the way, the title of this thread is Keith is still kicking it...... well sorry to burst the bubble but I do not hang with anyone anymore. But, give me a little more time. I will be out there again then I can post more recent pics.
-

Cool. Well, she was married to Robert Taylor (a purple marriage?) and was one of Hollywood's true stars. She started way back in the pre-code days; you probably saw her in Billy Wilder's 'Double Indemnity' or Preston Sturges' 'The Lady Eve.' The fact she never won an Oscar is about as mind-boggling as the fact that neither did Cary Grant.
-
Dr Chimps, You are damn close on the "Saved from murder with an Oscar" background. Some of the actual participants are still alive and kick'en so drop me an email and I'll fill you in on the mystery spots.
JohnnyV, I actually never saw that TV show so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Ask Keith directly. He'll know. While he was playing around in Hollywood, I was protecting his ass in Vietnam or some other part of the Galaxy.
Oh yea, Keith! I did forget about your mom's job and meeting all these show biz folks. And as far as Jack Lord and Gomer Pyle go, I got one hell of a damn story to tell that no one on here is gonna believe, but never-the-less, it is the TRUTH. Remind me to tell ya about Benji.
But I'll attempt to beat ya by going further back with "Hawaiian I" and Bruce Lee and Tommy Sands and dinner parties in Don Ho's penthouse while he was out of town (probably blowing Tiny Bubbles in Las Vegas) and meeting him at a luncheon and not even recognizing him because he looked so damn young and healthy after his first heart attack (lost lots of weight). He laughed about that and that made me feel better.
And your bud the karate guy (movie star) who was married to someone's whose name I presently forget (female bodybuilder). Who are these two whose names I am forgetting? (Brain-fart!) Watched him "demo fight" with some special kids outside of the Nike store and then said a brief "Hello" when he and his lady were "fine dining" at Chilie's.
And I should mention that Tennessee Ernie Ford was my temporary next door neighbor when "16 Tons" was HOT!
And I also had the honor of meeting Famous Amos's mom. She was a great lady and a real character. Even gave me a cookie!
TOP THAT!!
Oh yea! I think I met Robert Taylor on the SCARAMOUCH set, but I gotta check on that one. It was the horse chase scene and was shot in GG park in San Francisco. JUST CHECKED AND NOPE.... I'm wrong.... It was Stewart Granger. Most likely no one on here cept Chimps has ever heard of good old Stew.
-
I don't know the karate guy you are talking about. Chuck? Ernie Reyes? Benny Urquidez? I don't know any who is married to a female BB. Is this is in Hawaii. And poor Don Ho. I did some appearances with him around Oahu. Got to be okay friends with him. He was drunk quite often though. I remember seeing one day at Kinkos. He was getting some sample labels printed for his new chocolate chip cookie he was coming out with called Tiny Bubbles. And lets not forget Wally Amos. Nothing like having freshly hot made Famous Amos cookies prepared live at his house for a nice Christmas dinner. Very nice man. Still dumb as hell for selling the rights

Hey, Stunt: When are you going to deliver on some of the stories you've been promising?

Great stories! Love'em. Sure, Stewart Granger was Allan Quartermain in King Solomon's Mines. I think(!?) that the sword fight he has with Mel Ferrer in Scaramouche is still the longest in movies. Oh, and he was in North to Alaska with The Duke and Ernie Kovacs, who is now (sadly) long forgotten. AMC plays that movie frequently.
-
Give me a clue, Cal. What ones? Some I cannot mention till certain stuff happens. Stuff like death! And even then I'll do it as polite as possible.
Keith, you had a BRAIN-FART too! Yea, Jean and Gladys. They are back together I think. I'll stop by Jeff's on my way to LV and get the official scoop. Will be arriving Friday (tomorrow) around noon unless I wake up late.
Here's my famous dog story. The actual way it happened but there is a 5% possibility that I have reached the wrong conclusion at the very end so I'll avoid mentioning the names of the parties involved in an effort to protect the innocent. Or in this case, the guilty.
Back in the days when Hawaii 5-0 was being shot at the Diamond Head Studios, we had kind of a wrap-party at the end of the 5-0 shooting schedule/season at our house on Analii Street cross the Kalanianioleole Highway from the Waialai Golf and Country Club. (I mention these names to refresh the memories of some of you who might have even been there and witnessed what I talk about below).
Back then and way before this party I mention above, I had a good habit of rescuing unwanted mutts from the local dog pound just down the road apiece. On one occasion I brought home a shaggy little mutt just out of puppyhood and named him THUMPER. Thumper became immediately attached to Hot Pants (a minature black Lab).
Months pass and THUMPER grows to Hot Pant's height. And as Thumper grows he gets smart (And I mean REAL SMART) while Hot Pants remains as stupid as usual but very loveable.
THUMPER's best dog-friend is HOT PANTS ... and HOT PANTS (named after Don "Hot Pants" Morocco) liked to follow every kid in the neighborhood while they all walked to school a couple of blocks away. And I would get a phone call from the Principal asking me to come on down and retrieve Hot Pants who was patiently waiting in the school-yard for the kids to get out and walk on back home with them.
One day Hot Pants wasn't home and I didn't get that usually expected phone call from the Principal but Thumper came running up the drive-way all hot and bothered and upset about something. I've often seen Lassie on TV trying to get someone to follow her in an effort to save a damsel in distress; and now I was watching Thumper doing the same damn thing .... and to be honest with ya I've never seen him watching any Lassie episode so I don't know where he learned this "Follow Me QUICK" trick of his.
So I finally got the message and followed him down the driveway and he started running and looked back expecting me to do the same. So we both ran down the road together towards Kalanianioleole Highway where he led me to Hot Pants who was half dead on the side of the highway. Thumper merely laid by his side, let out a dog whine,and looked up at me as if to say, "Do something, Stupid!"
So I picked up Hot Pants and was in the process of getting myself emotionally set to bury him in the front yard, but he was still breathing so me and Thumper carried him back to the house and got in my VW and placed Hot Pants on the passenger seat while THUMPER looked on from the rear.
THUMPER was very concerned. Almost just like a human. Definitely more human than dog-like.
So we rushed on down Kalanilanioleole Highway to the vets and he says, "Are you sure you want to save Hot Pants? He's in pretty bad shape and will require a lot of attention!"
And I sort of knew that Thumper would be really pissed off at me if we didn't try to save his favorite buddy so I said, "Do what you can, doc."
"OK, I'll call you when and if he'll be ready to come back home! I'll do my best but can't promise you anything for sure."
SO we left Hot Pants there and for the next few days, Thumper was pretty damn upset.
Damn upset until Hot Pants was released and returned home with more that 80 stitches holding him together. That made Thumper happy but we had to separate them in two different parts of the house until those stitches healed completely.
Some of us who knew Thumper well swore that he was more human that dog! He would do stuff that only humans attempt to do. Like ... sitting still and paying attention to boring conversations at BBQ'S and dinner parties, which brings us back to that Hawaii 5-0 wrap affair I mentioned earlier.
We're all having cocktails on the lanai overlooking the golf course and talking about various boring stuff that happened on and off the set this past week and one of the principal actors looks down and sees Thumper sitting below us and watching each of us as we tell our boring stories as if he actually understands what the hell we're talking about and is interested in what we have to say.
And the actor says, "Look at this dog! It's listening to us!"
So I proceed to tell everyone about how smart this Thumper dog is and to prove it I tell him to go get something and sure enough he runs off and returns with that "something" in his mouth waiting for me to take it. Plus the standard dog tricks which he obeys with a look like, "Is that all you think I can do, Stupid?! (He called me "Stupid" lots.)
And the actor is super impressed and says, "Wow! You should take that dog to Hollywood or better yet, let me take him tomorrow! He's more than brilliant!" And I laugh and head off in search of another beer and see how the steaks are coming along.
The next morning I get up with a hangover and notice that Thumper is not in the usual spot where Thumper is usually at. In fact he fails to show up at all throughout the day. SO we do the usual dog search thing, but to no avail and over time the sadness passes from each of us and Hot Pants too.
Then about a year later, I'm walking down the street and see a poster on a movie theater advertising "BENJI" and since Benji looks exactly like
Thumper, I pay my $5.25 cents and go inside to watch it.
About five minutes into the Benji scenes, I come to realize that I am seeing Thumper up there on that silver screen. This ain't no ordinary dog! This is definitely Thumper.
So I go home and start raising hell about someone stealing Thumper and making a movie star out of him and those who knew him well also go and see that Benji movie and feel exactly as I do. But others who did not know Thumper at all, say, "You're crazy!"
Eventually I sat back and let it pass and sort of got real proud that Thumper had hit the big-time and made a name for himself.
And I never even got an autograph! But I do know that he would have been proud to see me and Hot Pants if we ever had the opportunity to visit him in Hollywood.
All this stuff really happened. I'm not entirely sure that the real Thumper actually made it to the Silver Screen though. But 95% sure is close enough.

Actor with the ski pole accident was Clint Walker!
Vito Scotti played the florist in the Godfather stunt!
OK Stunt,was the mouth popping guy a foreigner,fat with glasses,older with gray hair?
-
Yea! Thanks, Wes! Clint Walker. I forgot his name. He's still alive and kicking. Here's an update I found on IMDB.
"Clint still enjoys meeting people and signing autographs while attending various gatherings, film festivals and western heritage events. His favorite event to attend is the Western Legends Film Festival held the last week of August each year in Kanab, Utah where many of the Hollywood Westerns were filmed and where Clint was honored in 2004 for his role in the movie Fort Dobbs."
I gotta watch Godfather again to recall that florist scene.
No, Wes, the mouth popping guy was not fat nor did he wear glasses but I think he appeared once with a monocle. I found a character actors site and am looking for him there but it is huge and will take some time. I never realized there were so many character actors in the movie business.

Haha...that's great, man. If you're serious (and I can't tell if you are), there's got to be a way to find out where Benji came from prior to being in the movies. I seem to recall reading somewhere that he'd been picked up in a shelter.
Did I miss this story?:
And as far as Jack Lord and Gomer Pyle go, I got one hell of a damn story to tell that no one on here is gonna believe, but never-the-less, it is the TRUTH.
Isn't Gomer a bit "light in the loafers"?

more like floating but hey it's Gomer Pyle. He ate at California Pizza Kitchen in Kahala like clockwork. He has a beautiful home on the ocean at Black Point near Diamond Head.
