This weekend in Vegas is the first ENHANCED GAMES

[Wiggs]

Yes, history will be made at Resorts World this weekend as 50 athletes compete in the first, Enhanced Games where PEDS are encouraged.  The sports are track, swimming, weightlifting and strongman. One of Trump's sons is an investor. So is some rich Saudi.  I see the vision.  It has the potential to be huge. Unfortunately, no tickets are being sold. It's invitation only. But it will be on many social media outlets.

I realize Ben Johnson was juiced, but I wonder if it’s so out in the open and encouraged, if stronger compounds being used will cause records to be smashed. I know that’s the point, just wondering how much of a bump we will see.

[IroNat]

Looking forward to competitors dying during events.

a doping expert went back and tested samples from 1988 with up to date testing skills and he said almost all the samples he tested came back positive,, he binned his findings because he said most of the medal winners were using

Carl Lewis failed multiple tests but they always buried the results, he shouldnt have even been at the 88 games.

Hapthor going to smash another deadlift record.

Will be very underwhelming

I am talking out of both sides of my mouth in terms of my own past, but this disgusts me. Is it Donald Jr. or Eric? So much for any presidential aspirations. The whole carnival is getting out of hand in so many ways all at once, that it is kind of mind boggling.

[Rambone]

Carl Lewis should be a part of the opening ceremony

I liked it better when the presidents sons were drug addicted fake business men.

The so called enhanced games will feature athletes on less PED's than they normally take. The doctors are controlling the enhancements and they are at half the level the average strength athletes take in the normal competitions.

Hahahaha.

I don’t disagree with that edit, but have you now set yourself up as Copy-Editor-In-Chief at getbig? You have your work cut out for you.

Exactly!

[Brenda Steunbeer]

Those enhanced games look far more honest to me. The olympics are one big hypocritical money-money-money circus.

In some olympic sports professionals can compete, in others not. Drugs testing is a joke, and has always been. Every olympic games are declared "the best ever" and "the cleanest ever"

The IOC is highly corrupt, same for the big global soccer organisations UEFA and FIFA

[Van_Bilderass]

The secret to having records fall is finding the genetic talent. All about the genetics. A big pool helps. Getting them started very young also helps (child abuse via brutal training and/or drugs). I once read the Chinese chose children to train by looking at the hair on their forearms, the more hair the more potential in strength sports (supposedly). The Chinese also torture the children by beating them with sticks while they are training. If you have a country with strict child abuse laws and cultural aversion to being harsh on kids, forget about leading in certain disciplines like gymnastics. Drugs help but talent is much more important.

BIG AL mentioned the restrictions which takes a lot of the fun out of it IMO.

I kind of agree with you – in the sense that I often share your frustration over what feels like lazy and imprecise writing. But I can also appreciate its merit when it is used as a form of semantic nuance to convey emotional sentiments that are hard to define, or to describe a rough approximation of something else. Take, for instance, Shizzo: a kind of pig-like creature whose pathetic attempts to maintain sobriety were kind of entertaining in the way that witnessing a disaster sometimes is.

I liked Jack Kerouac's neologisms In On the Road he didn't use proper punctuation either, I think there were no periods, just one continuous sentence. Supposedly written in 3 days on stimulants.

"Jack Kerouac utilized neologisms and coined words to break syntactical inhibition and capture the spontaneous cadence of jazz and his own "mindflow."  His made-up words were designed to evoke sound and genuine emotion rather than fit dictionary definitions."

A semhanktics world record? I’ll get the asterisk ready.

nope, reads exactly the same without it

As if everyone in every sport is normally competing clean.
 

This is just another normal event where there is no drug testing ensuring that no one gets didsqualified.

Skirting past drug tests in tested competitions is half the fun

Yeah, I think creative writing can be more relaxed and free spirited. The point is to generate an emotional response. Jeff should check out Finnegans Wake, LOL.

Kind of. You could argue it's more literal and academic now. A 'kind of pig-like creature' is a little more fun and helps to craft the image of a fat sack of shit sleeping in an old BMW as opposed to an actual pig/man hybrid. As to Van's point, have fun with it. Probably not worth losing sleep over.

Johnson should have been given back his gold medal and his record. The three drug enhanced athletes who accepted their medals while knowing they were just as dirty are scumbags.
