Swede i thought your big guy worshipping was a bit odd meaning Lesnar and zack, but had you picked as a decent type of guy, how wrong was i.

as with all aau/nabba guys all had great legs ,and probably "eyed"by gruskin,,,,

Of course you don't. You're a typical self-absorbed generation nothingness freeloader. I just heard yesterday that Sweden has practically life long unemployment benefits. Is that how you afford to live in an apartment and bang 15 whores? You had a job once and now sponge off others who have endure the daily grind while you loaf around. Is that why you keep avoiding the question as to how you support yourself without a job?

lol.

wow.

swede getting savagely owned and verbally beaten like a red- headed step child.

nice work, sir. i appreciate your candor.

   that's true does putting down another man make you a better man. esp when that man is no longer here to defend himself.

[pellius]

You really are a callous asshole.......you are something else.......you don't matter to me though.....just amazed at what a prick you are.... making light of a man's death.

It's his generation. A shallow, self-absorbed, spoiled, nothing generation. And to think it was a mere two generations ago where a boy of 16 would lie about his age just so he could join the military and fight for his country during WW2.

Now it's posting naked pics of yourself fuking some whore on a public board and complaining how, at 21, with 18 inch arms, you can't handle breaking a sweat and working with your back and hands. All this in while living in a place paid for by others.

Not many like manual labor but sometimes you have to do it to support yourself. That's assuming you believe that part of being and acting like a man you carry your own weight.

No shame and no pride.

You got that right.

Meeko during the early 1980's

LOL! There actually use to be a time when a man felt ashamed and disgraced when he couldn't support himself and his family. Not so today. Guys live with their parents until they close in on thirties and many try to game the system so they live off others.

I've been supporting myself since I was 18. Even though at times my living conditions weren't always ideal I always felt a since of pride that even if I was working menial jobs at least I was pulling my own weight. But guys today don't want to rough it.

I'd rather work at McDonalds and live in a card board box than freeload off welfare or other government programs.

Good post.

RIP Joe, made some awesome grips

[funk51]

My postings on getbig are not very many, but most of you all know me from other boards.

I was one person that considered Joe a friend - and am saddened that he is no longer with us.

he was very gracious to many people on various boards offering advices, support, encouragement and those blue power grips - (he told me he made his money other ways and would just give them away to anyone who was passionate about the sport).

he wasnt just another aging juicehead as some have said - true he had his demons and issues that he dealt with - but that never stopped him from speaking with great passion to people who wanted to become better bodybuilders and better people.

the reason that we are on these boards is that we all have a common bond that we have a desire to achieve greater physical performance - he was no different than any one of us here add to that he became a champion who reached the top of his sport and gave back to the sport unlike many others whose time has come and gone

if we cant honor a man's life (who was one of us) respectfully, wtf are we actually doing here?

When i started posting on BB forums, i was on Ironage.us and he posted there......Meeko wrote down what he did before a show and i sent him a PM or two...dude was cordial and and very informative....a 'pro' in every sense of the word. RIP broski...

Bay is going to love that shot

[pellius]

It is worth noting that anyone who had any dealings with Joe were impressed on how gracious and generous he was. He true gentleman. No one had anything bad to say about him except for Mike Quinn. Joe and Mike were friends until Joe beat him in a contest. Mike never spoke to Joe again and never returned calls or emails. But I think this shows more on what kind of person Mike was than Joe.

BTW, wasn't it Mike Quinn that someone posted pic of where he got his ass beat by some bouncer when Mike was trying to throw his weight around?

Guy sounds like a class act. Shame he died so young. Good to see he is remembered by so many in such a good light. You rest easy Joe.

Oh Jees, Joe took his own life, I'm really sorry to read that. He was a good guy and seemed to be living a full life even if things had been a bit rough recently. After leaving competitive bodybuilding in his 20's he was able to retire into the mountains while only in his early 40's due to good business activities. Really generous with his time in advising others. I did him a small favour once and he couldn't thank me enough. It was the least I could do.
The post on Ironage says he felt alone in the world. I'm sure nothing could have been further from if the truith if only he'd known.

I'm sure the kids posting crap in this thread don't mean it. It's just adolescent bravado and machismo but one day they will grow up and learn.

Swede i thought your big guy worshipping was a bit odd meaning Lesnar and zack, but had you picked as a decent type of guy, how wrong was i.  

should I feel sorry for every single person  that dies in the world that I dont know?'


Are you sad 24/7 ? because every single second someone dies.

Stop being a fucking hypocrite, the thing I said about abusing steroids was wrong I admit, didnt know he didn't die of anything aas related, then my post would obviusly have been different.

But dont come her and try to act like you're a "all that" and I'm not. You care about as much about every innocent kid that starves do death every 7 seconds as I do about this guy,

Does that make You better then Me?

Fuck no.

Dont put yourself above others.

No. But it's called respect. He is not nameless. He is part of our community. Stop being a dick, you dick.
