THIS GETBIG BOARD - VERY WISE OR JUST PLAIN STUPID ?

[TheShape.]

I mostly browse and post here to goof off and get a few laughs and troll a bit. Occasionally I see some really cool bodybuilding threads in the mix. I'm still certain that there are only a dozen of us here that actively train, and that's being generous!

[Jamaal]

A dozen is generous.

Half of those are just trying to relive their glory days. Pathetic.

SHAPE, I agree twith ya about the number of GetBiggers who enter a gym on a regular basis, but I'll raise your twelve to at least a 20.

And of  those 20, less than half serve as competitors or in some arena within the bodybulding world.

Years ago there may have been more, but most were run off by those GetBiggers who never saw the inside of a gym nor lifted anything heavier than a vacuum cleaner.

There are an exceptional few such as Go4 It and BeThere and a small handful of other brave individuals who manage to put up with the shit that is tossed in their direction by the 'Vacuum-cleaner-lifters" and the "Never-saw-the-inside-of-a-gym-Jimmies", but that's been a part of the game since Herk tore down his first Roman temple and got blasted for doing so.

But believe it or not, the haters contribute to the popularity of  bodybuilding more so now than any time in the past except for the Hercules episode.

Those on the verge of knowing everything say that it's just a simple matter of jealousy.

... Is full of a bunch of new lifters who believe that pre workout and creatine will add 3" to their arms in a month...

it will...gaspari supps are like legal steroids. I stack with bcaa's and extra whey.

"In a double blind placebo..."

"Gained 44% more lean muscle*"

*based on 1/3 bodyweight, of which participants willingly took numerous other compounds, while participating in high altitude training, focusing on parachuting.

Nowadays its mostly gimmicks. If a poster has a controversial opinion they usually use gimmicks as a mouthpiece. Then the typical shitposters water down the collective opinion. Hard to keep track of who thinks what.

Some even create "straw man" gimmicks and spend three pages arguing with themselves.

I am not referring to the poster known as "Straw Man" just the flimsy gimmicks some posters use.

Yup, and they call others losers when they spend all day pulling crap like that.

The depth and complexity of these gimmicks you accuse and speak of is ridiculous

[stuntmovie]

El Diablo Blanco, somewhere way up then you poster something from the table of integrals.

I only wish I had paid more attention at that time. but I failed to do so and honestly regret it even now.

Hell, I'd even have a hell of a time figuring the Pythagorean equation nowadays which I used to be pretty good at .... a^{2}+b^{2}=c^

But I are stupid now.

Many years ago there was a popular movie based on this very idea, but I can't recall the name of it.

Illuminati, Thanks for reminding me what QM is.

Some day I'd like to post all my vast  knowledge regarding QM on this here GetBig Board.

It would only take a paragraph or two and anything else I would add would be an outright lie.

A total outright lie because anyone who says that they understand it all is a total failure when it comes to  honesty.

But I can honestly say that I actually and honestly understand about 1/1000 of the basic stuff regarding Quantum Mechanics.

But I fail miserably once I get beyond the Double Split Experiment.

I suggest that everyone attempt to understand the basics of QM and possibly even beyond  ... just to see how utterly stupid we human 'beans' actually are.

Thanks again, Iluminate,

You likely know far more than Me.
I try - only I keep having to check I know the basics - let alone anything more.

At least we have had glory days.
And we all age.

It is you who is Pathetic.

Struck a chord within you that resonates quite loudly.

This will be remembered for later.

Thank you.

Unfortunately Stunt, most are ignorant and brainwashed. Sad! There's a ton of stupid here as well.

[Grape Ape]

It's all just posting under names that are not their real ones.

No different than what you or anyone else here does.

I don't see how that changes anything, because you are stating the obvious. It's still another level of needless subterfuge.

Maybe I'm missing the point, though. It's easy to lose the plot and feel personally slighted when I am being harangued daily by such accounts.

I've tried to look at it from the other side, but I suppose I'm not cut from the same cloth.

I sounds if you're starting to take this place a bit more serious than you should.

Just post and not worry.

It's that simple.

Come on, even though the topics are wide ranging, bodybuilding/weight training has to be the reason most came to this site.

*edit
It just dawned on me I found this site because of the chick pics so scratch my original thought.

Let's be real here.

This board had a dude suck a dick for attention.

It's not quite the pinnacle of intellect.

[The Ugly]

I don't think that BeThere was telling you to "Shut up".

But I do think that he was offering a few words that are most often repeated on this GetBig Board.

I could be mistaken though.

One thing that I find to be apparently lacking among most GetBig members is a complete lack of understanding about a 'good sense of humor'.

I come from a family whose sense of humor was beyond a good sense of common courtesy.

They were known to find some form of humor within every social gathering  known to the human race ..... at weddings, at funerals, and even Bar Mitzvahs even though they were Swedes and Irishmen serving as servants and caterers who were expected to act accordingly ... but never did.

Just for the sake of a laugh or two.

I think that HOWARD has an exceptional sense of humor which often requires a large degree of unrecognized/unappreciated intelligence.

But that intelligent part was never evident when it involved my family members who were more like the humorous Hatfields while everyone else was the deadly McCoys.

Something similar is happening on this here GetBig Board, but you'd have to have a sense of humor to see it happening while it happens if it happens at all.

Or something like that.

Like you some fart jokes, do ya?

[sync pulse]

Your argument strikes me as derivative...

[Kwon]

OK, Here's my attempt to get back to the subject matter.

The political agenda on this GetBig Board!

I have no idea if politics is discussed intelligently or even half-assed stupidly.

I have a fairly good reason for not being politically intelligent.

#1. I  am politically stupid!

And all the other numbers .... I once flunked PoliSci class and then years later some US ploliticians made a decision to send up rifles that failed to function when it rained.

And that was during the ultra wet monsoon season. So that tended to piss me off a bit.

And then they sent us parkas that appeared to be made of toilet paper and did one hell of a good job keeping us wet and miserable. That really pissed me off when someone told us that those 'raincoats' were the same raincoats that served in WWII and were recently found in some politician's abandoned warehouse.

But on the positive side it appears that there are about six (6) GetBiggers who can be counted on to deliver a somewhat clear picture of the political situation.

The only problem is that each of them tend to disagree on important political matters.

Other than that. all is well within the political arena of this GetBig Board.

But take that from someone who is definitely the low man on the totem pole when it comes to all things political.

One who does'n't know the right from the left or a donkey from an elephant.
