Don Long Returns to Competiton...Chick gets pwn3d by 240...again.

[Special Ed]

Folks, apparently Mr. Cicherillo from Playa Del Rey has had enough. So incensed by the most recent 240 owning, he resorted to extreme measures:

1. Calling Don Long and trying to talk him out of competing. Not out of concern for Don's health -- just to save face.
2. Calling in a bomb threat to the Montreal auditorium in an attempt to get the event cancelled -- just to save face.
3. Offering to take Don Long out drinking so his other kidney collapses and he can't do the show -- just to save face.

Finally, with no choice but to face up to 240, Bob disconnected his cable modem and is selling his computer on Craigslist.org

It was nice knowing you Bob! Farewell my furry friend!!

What's up with the dog?

[240 is Back]

Monopoly dog.
IFBB is a monopoly.
Chic is their lapdog.
Chic = monopoly dog.

It kinda loses something when you have to explain it.

I didn't believe you until I saw it came with a smashed keyboard.  It's Bob, alright.

I saw an awesome movie tonight.

Who's the big guy that played Uriel?

[Bast175]

Yes Bob is a good guy with an expansive high school education, third tier pro bodybuilding experience, and a D-list acting career.  Brutal achievements.

[avesher]

anyone hear from Bob yet?   no?  Bueller?  Bueller??,..........................

[Count Grishnackh]

Bob is alright, he just gets in over his head. Reminds of someone trying to walk on ice or roller skate w/out knowing how, always stumbling and bumbling.

[Rottmag]

I just spent several minutes reading this entire thread, and I'm appalled.

Appalled that an internet "nobody" was able to accurately reveal the comeback of Don Long WHILST the IFBB Pro Athlete's Representative vehemently denied it from the go.

Shame on you Bob C.

[kyomu]

Chick,I am sorry for you...Your muscle tone is getting worse and reputations also.
But,its your karma:Causality and Efect

[Hedgehog]

Why does FLEX always make bodybuilders and their stupidity seem inspirational? 

First Chris Jalali's article and now this.

I like Shawn Perrine's writing and overall that article did seem balanced and made it clear that bodybuilding escalated Don's (alledged) genetic predisposition, but I think an appropriate title for the article would have been "Long on stupidity" lol.

Either way, I did get the sense that Shawn felt competitive bodybuilding was not good for Don at this point in his life and health so that's good.

I'm generally a fan of Perrine's writing. He's second to none when it comes to covering the Ironage, and has helped put the focus on many greats of that era. His articles on The Myth still  ranks as the all time best IMO.

That being said, the article on Long lacked any critical perspective whatsoever IMO.

How the contest prep will affect Long's body wasn't brought up at all.

Perrine didn't question Long about the relation with the person who gave up a kidney either, the sister.

In short, the article is nothing short of garbage.

Sad to see, especially when it comes from a guy with high journalistic integrity, cred and skills as Perrine.

If Perrine had restrictions when going into the interview he should've never agreed to it.

240 I'm disspointed in you, you didn't add anything in your collage to reflect the "peanut Gallery" comment. You must be losing your edge...

Good point MD: Where was the Mr. Peanut guy? I figure it's at least Peanut Gallery 4, Chickster 0.

/at this point, while I feel somewhat sorry for Bob, I hope he he shows up in this thread as I have this peverse interest to see if he can dig himself any deeper.

/seems very hard at times to see as the same person the trying-to-be-cool, video Bob and the keyboard-smashing one on GB.     

[jaejonna]

I agree on Shawn's coverage of the ironage.  His article in the most recent FLEX on Steve Michalik was excellent.  His recent review of the 2005 Australian GP was also very balanced.

I think Shawn is perceptive and aware of the fact that he is working in and industry with very fragile egos.  He probably just didn't want to step on Don's toes so he tries hard to put a positive spin on everything.

I say forget it though - no need to protect Don from his stupidity in this case.

Ironage is one thing , but Don Long is running out of family members to borrow body parts from...Shawn is nothing more than a fluffer if he doesnt address those issues

Can anyone even confirm that Bob has a highschool diploma? I am sceptical.

[240 is Back]

Bob went to community college for a 2-year degree to join the police force.  Then something happened suddenly which encouraged him to leave the force.

Someone should interview Don Long's sister and see what she has to think of this. I personally think Don Long's most recent decision to compete again with the donated kidney is probably the scummiest, most disgusting thing a pro bodybuilder has done in a long time.

Chick should apoligize, but, let us not lose sight of the fact that Don competing like this is like spitting in the face of  his sister and everyone on the waiting list for a new kidney.

[hifrommike]

Maybe he wants to go out with an arty death like the end of the film THE ROSE.  If so, at least he'll die doing what he wants, on his own terms.  I say let him do it & cheer him on. 

[dorkeroo]

If I'm following the info correctly, his body rejected the donated kidney... he doesn't have it anymore and is living on dialysis.

If that's true, what you said doesn't apply.


Now, I don't know how dangerous it is or isn't for someone on dialysis to compete (maybe an MD on here can address this), but he can't damage his kidneys if he doesn't have any.

If you are correct then yes, I am wrong and I will be more than happy to retract what I said about the kidney thing. On the other hand, being as dehydrated as bodybuilders are is not good for a lot of things, and I can't imagine it is good for a person with his prognosis kidney or not. In this case, if the kidney was rejected prior to this decision, he isn't scummy, just stupid.

this story is the kind that geraldo rivera would go after. i'm sure that everyone on a transplant list would like to "talk" to this kidney trashing scumbag.
