You guys have no clue about what is going on. When I was running my gym I sometimes made 'heroes' out of ordinary but interesting blokes just to pass the time. Goodrum is a 'hero' like that. He is the epitome of some guys who go to gyms hoping to transcend themselves into someone important. It seldom happens but in the gym various dudes become regulars and contribute to the atmosphere. We have had awards for guys who bust their guts but remain the same. So far we haven't given a most delusional award but we do have a smoothie award and I have received that a few times just for fun. I usually win the stirrers award in our gym.
There aren't many threads here on Getbig that interest me. This very thread was bumped by someone just to stir the board. I originally posted it a few years ago. I was corrected in the past re 'flotsam'. The great Getbig anonymous unwashed. When I see most Goodrum threads, especially announcements of his latest condition or business venture, it is a must read. Those who have followed Melvin Goodrum's threads over the years know what I am talking about. The guy is a dreamer but not much happens that is significant. Yet Goodrum insists he is an internet legend. Right, but not the way he thinks he is! And therein lies the humour and amusement of this bloke. He is oblivious of how he is perceived on Getbig. Well, he must know....surely any average Joe would know! Yet he keeps posting his plans and they amount to almost nothing. Sure, he has an internet business but who here would buy from Vince G? To all and sundry he is a joke. 240, Onlyme and others have tried to help Melvin in business to no avail. Melvin doesn't listen to advice, he gives it. I mean, two internet diplomas and he is an expert? Come on, no one here takes those credentials seriously. He can't prove by example that he knows much. In spite of those deficiencies he is quick to criticize others and dismisses some of my gym equipment because of the paint colour. What do you call that? Well, Vince G CSN MFT PHD. Oh, he doesn't use his PhD tag because he donated money for some weekend degree even though he swore he did a thesis. He has no such intellectual achievements and is an embarrassment to those who have labored long and hard for those respected degrees.
Someone has to keep Goodrum honest. The trouble is Melvin tires of being lampooned and tries to retaliate. His efforts in this regard reflect his other endeavours and he personally attacks others instead of debating issues. He even resorts to libel which is pretty low for anyone here.
