Real Life Getbig Buddy?
« on: June 12, 2016, 10:33:19 AM »
Back in the old misc.fitness.weights days I had a couple of friends in the real world from my same gym and we would all post on or read the threads and then laugh in the real world about the flame wars, antics, doxxing or whatever that was going on.  Now, I don't know anyone in the real world who even reads, much less posts on Getbig (and not looking for a Getbig buddy either).

Just curious how many hear actually know one single person in the real world from their normal daily life who also walks the halls of the thunderdome.

We're the skinny 95lbs twink on the smithmachine, the sassy woman behind the starbuckscounter spelling your name wrong intentionally, the guy signing off your online order, the kid throwing the newspaper in the bushes rather than your letterbox, the fatwoman wearing spandex five sizes too small, the grotesque blob ordering a fifth burger whilst eyeballing you from across the restaurant, the cop smiling whilst tasering you, the gayguy unrelentingly flirting and grabbing for your balls.
We are many, GetBig is all around you.

The thought of you in a stringer is hysterical considering you look like 250 pounds of miracle whip squeezed into subhuman flesh.

I have absolutely no idea what this means.  At all.

Forums and boards back then were the golden age for getting 'famous' pros, trainers etc.When facebook and twitter hit they realised they could get all the worshipping with none of the trolling.

I have met and know a few GetBiggers.

Meeting various and numerous individuals has been an important part of my life and I will admit that I have met or have known or have worked with the majority of the individuals that have been mentioned, discussed, and sometimes even hated in this here internet bodybuilding board.

I know Ron and I know Isaac and even Wiggs and Bob and Harley among a handful of other GetBiggers who appear here on numerous occasions.

(Or have departed due to the fact that they have appeared here on way too many numerous occasions. This list of departurees seems to get longer every year. All good people who leave because of the abrusive accusations made by  those who have never met them.)

WIGGS ... I lost your phone number.

I've met a few Getbigers in real life, a few years ago I had one guy come up to me in the gym say "hey aren't you Go 4 It?" took a few seconds for it to register.. pretty funny, we had some laughs about GetBig, talked for  a while and respectfully went back to training. I also met Bob Chick, didn't actually have the chance to talk with him, but he was the MC of a show I competed in and won, he announced my name as the winner, that was pretty cool, I always liked Chick, it was fun posting on here back in the day, he would mix it up with the members here, it was all in good fun.

I seem to recall there being a heck of a lot of people tracking down others in real life, calling them up, etc.  far fewer fake email addresses, etc.
