Guys let her be she's cool



peace

[Pazuzu]

Miss Karen, this is the first I've heard of you as I have not been on GetBig as much as a lot of these other guys. Please tell me a little bit about yourself if it's not too much to ask? Pics are always welcome too. Or, if you have a thread going somewhere else with all that, just let me know.
Thanks,
Ron "Pazuzu" Harris

P.S. Everybody - I got my new Accu Measure Myo Tape as a free gift from my last bodybuilding.com purchase, and I'm proud to announce my arms are up to six and a half! (the left one anyway - the right is still six)

[Blockhead]

 I have the same problem with my calves. My left is 20 inches and my right is exactly 19 inches. I can't get the left to catch up to the right.

[Deadpool]

Pazuzu, I'm sorry if I am ignorant of you, you must be someone in the industry.  who are you?

[CQ]

Pazuzu, I'm sorry if I am ignorant of you, you must be someone in the industry.  who are you?

Ron Harris - writer for MD. Most well known for his use of the term "mountain of ebony muscle"

[Deadpool]

Okay

ya know, I actually do read MD when I get a magazine, it is my first choice

I just spent time with a friend trying to pursway her that MD is better than MuscleMag

and I love the Ramblin Freak...he actually gave me a shout out once and it made my day

so thanks

[Deadpool]

who was that guy who used to write for Flex that used all the big words...julian schmidt?

[Miss Karen]

Ron I have no interest in promoting myself or anyone else.If you are an older actor guy I saw you a long time ago at Joe Golds world gym,you had a few young good looking girls around you and I asked someone why are the young ones with the old guy they said you were a Famous actor.Any Truth.Sorry if you are not him.

[Stavios]

Ron,

Are you a fan of anything by Dario Argento or Lucio Fulci?  I just so happen to also be an absolute connoisseur of anything horror.

That's cool, I am myself a connaisseur of American Pie 1, 2 and 3 

[G o a t b o y]

In the Ronnie Coleman column I just submitted for the December issue, I used the Ebony Mountain of Muscle phrase again, like so:

"Even this ebony mountain of muscle (that’s for my peeps over at GetBig!) can’t handle that much weight in strict form."

Ronnie may even want to use this as a T-shirt slogan eventually.

[Stavios]

LOL at Chris Cook in the background !!!!!!!!! 

[John Romano]

It would be a genius idea and concept. Blechman would benefit from this. Let me illustrate my hypothesis...

 In the movie 'The Devils Advocate' Al Pacino plays the devil. In that movie he told his son, his new apprentice(Keanu Reeves) that the only way he will travel is by the subway train. "Stay in the trenches" is what he shouted out. What better advice for the devil, himself to give himself if he wants to stay on top of mankind and what is REALLY going on with humanity...by staying in the trenches.

 You think FLEX and M&F stays in the trenches? Bitch, pleeeease!

 MD has Palumbo, Romano, Ron and Flex...all who walk the line and believe in their product.

 I already established numerous times here over and over again that the forums here at GETBIG.com is so heavily viewed and read and such high traffic...it is the ultimate place to get the inside scoop and opinions of what keeps this industry alive. The fans.

 I also established what a powerful influence the GETBIG.com forums have on the industry. It is infested with insight that is so direct and spot on it's almost insulting...which it usually the case. Then again the turth is never easy to see, read or hear. Why do we all think Romano isnt thinking about giving the honors to all of the teachers pets at Mayhem? It's because MD is no nonsense, no bullshit...just like these forums here at GETBIG.

I couldn't have said it better!!  Remember when I pissed you all off with my editorial dissing the boards?  Well, that is how you guys earned my respect.  My assistant has combed the boards for me - GetBig, Mayhem, and BB.com for a little over two years now.  Out of all the info she has gathered for me on the pulse of this hing we do, GetBig has BY FAR out paced the other boards.  Some say you guys are too brash or rude and crude, but I say, "if you can't stand the stink get the fuck out of the gym."  Bodybuilding - HARDCORE bodybuilding - is made up of bad-ass dudes, some with tattoos, scars, and facial hair, who speak in expletives and aren't afraid to tell someone they suck if that's the truth.  Keep it hardcore and keep it real.  At least back in the day, that's what it was all about.  I trained in Venice CA at Golds and/or World gym from 1979 to 1999 when I left the country.  That was hardcore, that was head strong, that is what it missing in almost every gym in the country today because they all turned into "health clubs."  But not here.  That's why I like this place.  That's why I have chosen to participate here and no other board - except of course when our MD boards go up.  Then I'll straddle.  There will always be exceptions and the odd asshole, but for the mot part, you guys make me feel like I did back in the day.  I think there is some real talent here.  I can't tell you how many times I've laughed my ass off reading threads here, or learned something, or gotten a perspective I hadn't thought of.  Yawn elsewhere.  So, yes, I am serious.  500 words or less, every month in Romano Factor, I will dedicate to the offering you guys contrive and you guys choose.  I would like to see someone representing.  However, it is all up to you.  Perhaps it could be like a contest each month?  Everyone gets a turn? Vote a member to contribute? It is all up to you.  I need it by the 15th of each month - that's the only rule.  Well, almost.  I am going to have to retain the right to refuse anything that will piss off advertisers too much, it can't be too nasty, and no one gets hurt.  And I will be very lenient.  So, have at it.  This being the first month, I'll extend the deadline to the 20th.  Any questions?

[John Romano]

That's not a diss John.  That's just the number that had been cited on here before.

I know Matt.  And I know the retard who cited it.  Steve told me today that he is looking into ABC audits by year end.  When those number come out I have a feeling MD is going to be dishing out a large serving of crow, and those guys are going to have to eat it.

[suckmymuscle]

Miss Karen,

I do realize that you are pissed off because I havent offered you my high-quality erotic massage but you should still try to conduct yourself like adult homo sapiens.  

  Or just ike an adult homo will suffice...

[John Romano]

Ron Harris.  He is up there with my favourite writers, mostly because he goes over a lot of bodybuilding's history and cool gym stories and gossip in his training columns.  Good detailed writing, but also "easy on the ears/brain" - light reading but still very educational.  Ironically I am a huge fan of Shawn Perrine's writing for the exact opposite reason: his illuminative verbiage always enlightens my cognitive agencies.

Agreed.  Ron and I go way back to like 87? It was before I went to prison so it had to be back there somewhere.  Ron will know for sure.  No one knows the game in the gym like Ron does and he puts it down smooth.  He has written nearly every training article in MD for several years now and is a permanent fixture.  I wish the boss would bring him on exclusively.

[John Romano]

Romano dude,

You finally learner how to use internet connection..? 

Hahaha!! No Anssi, just decided it was time to drop in.  Been in any good knife fights lately??

[John Romano]

lol...

Hi John, Welcome to getbig.

You turned a woman into a lesbian?  WOW!

Sandra

Nope.  She was gay when I got her.  She was bi when she was with me, and then went back to her old self when she was done.  That part in the middle was..............

[suckmymuscle]

I dragged myself out of bed with my epic 11 1/2 inch arms this morning and said to myself, "self, you need a good dose of Haterade."  So, I went straight to the top.  Here I am fellas!  Have at it....

Oh, yeah, 240, you're welcome.  I did put you on the map.   I also sent you two of your recent clients, who overpaid you.  Cha-Ching!!  Keep the change

  John Romano, your magazine is shit and you're a liar. All you publish are articles on sauce, how to inject sauce, how to get sauce and the like. And you also make a habit of insulting pro bodybuilders who won't do photo shoots for your magazine. You also get into little pissing contests with other magazine publishers, like a bunch of school girls,  and bring the whole sport down in the process.

  I find it appalling that you, a guy who never made it big in the sport, reduces everything to drug-taking. This, despite the fact that yu're a self-confessed ergogenic abuser, and yet never had anything to show for it. Even back in the 1999s, you had the kind of pysique that any channel-surfer who works on the stair-master three times a week is able to develop. Oh by the way, how's your Nubain addiction going? Did you rid yourself at least from that?! Your articles on ass fucking are made even more pathetic by te fact that I'm sure that you prefer being in the receiving end - you know too much about the topic of gayness not have given it a shot sometime.

  MD was the best bodybuilding mag back in the 1990s: it combined the scientific precision of IronMen with the high quality photography and layouts of FLEX. Now, after it degenerated into the "all natural" MD and back to MD again, it became a fucking joke. You bring the whole sport down with your unproved invectives about the pros, your training advice is sophomoric and your drug-injecting advice, besides being illegal, i downright dangerous and wrong. Will you be there when some kid gives himself an infection, or worse, when the needle breaks inside his glutes, requiring majr surgery?! It's such a fucking joke: and entire magazine turned into Greg Zulak's former "ask Zulak" column for MuscleMag! Fuck you for being such a dick and making bodybuilding even more a circus geek act for the masses. Fuck you for saying that any ectomorph can become the next Dorian or Ronnie if only he takes the right amount of trenbolone and doses his insulin correctly. I appreciate MD for being honest about the whole drug topic, which FLEX isn't, but you fags have taken it to the point where lies and medical fallacies are written all the time just for sensationalist purposes. I still purchase MD for the comic factor, but the magazine is dead to me whe it comes to real bodybuilding info. John Romano, you're a fucking asshole!

[John Romano]

Mr. Romano,

In spite of what others have said about you, you have earned my grudging respect.  I have but one simple wish in my life, and that is to see an article with photo spread of Vince Goodrum training with Ronnie Coleman.  Could you make this happen?  I will find a sick child to endorse the idea if that helps.

Thank you!!  OMG, could you just imagine that spread?  I just spit a mout full of water half way across the room!!  I'll see what I can do.  I'm going up to BSN tomorrow, I'll ask them if they will let Ronnie do it.  Vince is up to you

But, even an angry asshole is entitled to an opinion.  Thank you for buying MD!!

Fucking retard. 

  Let's see who's the retard, dick head, when Blechman finally fires your sorry ass for making MD be sued for lible. Then , you'll have the chance to put all that ass-fucking advice you gave in MD in practice, when you have to resort to gay prostitution for a living...

Hey, man, please, do us a favor and SHUT THAT PIE HOLE OF YOURS UP!!!

Romano, as you can obviously see (can you, really??) is a more than welcome fixture to these boards, here. I, like many others, flat out love his work, specially the Rico McTaco pieces, and his courage to deliever the facts like they are. Why bother buying MD , if you don't like it? Only for the comedy purposes?? Go check your face every hour in the mirror, it will do the same job, just a lot less costly!

Romano is one of the reasons why pro bodybuilding didn't become a complete circus of lies and make-believes for good. His contribution, along the great majority of the MD team is one of the most valuable assests to the industry. And I love bodybuilding with all my heart.

Please, John, you knew you could not please everyone on here, so be ready for some flames, afterall, this is getbig.com, not mayhem

A quick question: would you care to elaborate with precision the real reason of your beef with Titus, in the 90's? It came to my knowledge that you were pals before the feud, weren't you? Please, explain that, and tell us what do you really think regarding his situation, nowadays? Why Blechman don't allow him to continue with his column in the mag? Afterall, everybody is innocent until a court of law prove them guilty, isn't it?

Thank you, and I'm a big, big fan of you and Harris, as well (hey Ron, you know who I am, right?! )

[The True Adonis]

John,

How about doing a BIG feature on John Grimek, your magazines founder and some of the old guys for me?

A lot of people will buy that.  In fact, put Grimek on the cover and style it like the magazines of yesteryear just for one issue.

I would really enjoy reading about it.
