One of the greatest decisions Ron Avidan ever made was not giving Vince his blue stars, over the last few years it has provided much entertainment...No offense to Vince, I love reading the next thread he comes out with, but not giving him his blue stars is comedic genius, way to go Ron, and way to go Vince, you are one of the reasons this place is so much fun....
I've said this plenty of times and while I've joked a bunch of times about it, I don't need Ron's acknowledgement whatsoever to know that I'm a competitor. I've got a big bronze trophy and a plaque sitting in my office that I can stare at all day if I wanted to. Getting blue stars doesn't magically open up some new world or anything......
Its sort of like the moderators on RX Muscle. They think that they are better than everyone else because Palumbo makes them a Deputeee and/or Shuriffe of the board but the fact is that once they turn off the computer or log off the site, they have to go back to their pathetic lives whether its SallyAnne doing her Vega Valentine act of putting schmoes in headsissors for drugs and money or Curt James going around to Planet Fitness begging for the desk clerk to set off the "Lunk Alarm".
I gave it my best in competing, trained my ass off and dieted hard and while I came up short of my goals, I had fun doing it and now its over with. At least I did better than the folks that past judgement over the computer....
I got a decent business, I grew a nice beard on my face, my garden is banging out some huge ass veggies, I'm cooking huge ass steaks on the grill, and most importantly I live the good life. I can live what that
Of course, Ron still has to pay for my lunch the next time I'm in CA as agreed upon and he better bring a lot of money because I eat a lot.....
