Title: How did you find Getbig?
Post by: cephissus on July 09, 2012, 02:09:21 PM
I used to visit the t-nation forums for bodybuilding advices (LOL) and, as Justin Harris was a big name around there at the time, along with the other EliteFts guys, I ended up reading an interview about him.  The interviewer asked him what he thought of Getbig, and Justin replied, "it's probably the best place to go if you wanted a fair assessment of your physique" or something like that.  ;D

I paid little attention though, and it wasn't until I heard mention of the place again, I think in a Greg Valentino interview (sounds like I was quite the schmoe in training, but beyond this I think I've only really read one or two other bber interviews in my life... kind of weird that they all mentioned Getbig) that I decided to check it out.

The first thread I can remember reading was the one about Branch's hunting exploits.  I remember laughing my ass off almost the entire way through, and I totally lost it when someone made a 'shop of kai in his gay red suit spinning around in the distance, as branch sited him in with his rifle, sitting safely on a distant plateau, LOL.  For a while I kept visiting t-nation, bodybuilding.com, promuscle etc. for "serious advice" ::) and stopping by Getbig for fun.  I had always found those places pretty obnoxious though, and reading Getbig soon made them downright unbearable -- it was like a breath of fresh air everytime I logged on here after wading through the fucking swamp of lies, asskissing, and rampant, straightfaced, unchecked idiocy of those other boards.

History really does repeat itself:  this is the third or fourth time I've seen a thread about how we found get big....

I've seen at least 4 threads on what cars we drive...

I've seen at least 5 threads asking us about our education/employment...

And 12 threads on Ronnie vs. Dorian.  For the record: Ronnie > Doz.  ;D

I got hooked on GetBig after reading the infamous Bethany Howlett thread and also the thread where Lee Priest got into an argument with a guy and melted down, saying he wanted the guy to meet him on the corner of some fast food restaurant in Los Angeles I think it was, so he could kick his ass....and then there was a long-running blow by blow posting with lee saying stuff like "I am now leaving and heading over to Los Angeles"....and then "I am now in Los Angeles heading toward the restaurant"..the Getbigger who was messing with Priest never showed up....it was Hilarious

I wish someone had a link to that thread..I would love to read it again

Back in the Muscle Mayhem wars circa '2002, I was one of the many outcasts that got banned from their site (later to be invited back by Chad Nicholls after his numbers were plummeting).

Since that time, I have posted under a few aliases (MowerVille, TicTacPenis, RectalMANometry, CockJuggler, AnusLover etc.).

It's good to call this place home,
