anyone have vid link to the press conference??? PM if you do, thks guys.
edit: found it, or highlights anyways, cheers.
We need like, a weekend allowance on links to ‘those other sites’ because this already/is going to get annoying not being able to link a stream, or an interview, or the press conference, etc. Can the mods hook us up for like 4 days?
that would be nice…there are only like three places we are gathering all of this shit from…
palumbo’s site, MD, and fag ass bbrotcom. Disclaimer: T-Nation is the best (for most things that is, but not links hehehe…
i paused watching the press conference…Bob Cicherillo, he just naturally comes off like such a fucking douche bag, i get that he has to ask these loaded fucking questions but this isn’t MMA we don’t need a pre-contest hype fest from him. i get that he’s just asking Q’s, that he’s paid to do it, bla bla,bla but he’s a fucking toolbox.
jay was on point for putting him in his place, turning the Q back on him, Dex seemed humble, Kai seemed less talky which might mean he’s just thinking about the show, branch was rambo jesus shotgun guy, thought he might tell bob to go fuck himself, i would have loved that!
…alright back to watching
Cyrus, can i get a PM of the link. All im finding is pics.
Weird question, but will it be possible to stream the O via a mobile device? Just wondering.

I think you are kinda missing the point, at least I was trying to make.
It isn’t about finding someone to make bodybuilding some huge sport that the public loves. These guys will always be “freaks” to the general public, and I would imagine most are proud to be seen as that.
I’m talking about a guy that transcends the sport. A guy that achieves. A god damn champion that even Janey Housewife in the burbs can be drawn to for whatever reason.
A guy that changes public perception from “Wow look at that freak, after he roid rages stabs his wife and beats his kids to death, I bet he comes after us. Fucking muscle bound loser must have a small dick, and is trying to over compensate.”
to something like “Hey, look at that freak”
All I’m asking for is someone to make testosterone good again.[/quote]
While it would be nice if people didn’t think it was gay every time they catch me looking at a bodybuilding picture, I really don’t give a shit what the public’s perception of bodybuilding is. That’s what makes it great. It’s people persuing a passion for which most people will never understand. I will say the same thing about anyone persuing any passion for which most people don’t understand. If you’re a die hard flute player, I think that’s cool. It’s going against the main stream to do something you care about, perceptions be damned.

is that you Kai? hey guys, Kai is posting under the alias “LankyMofo.” SWeet!!!
Kai, you’re the best man, you inspire me. i use to weigh 140lbs, now i’m just like you, i eat 8-10lbs of meat a day, practice headstands, i love Rhiana, i like to draw pictures too, say hi to Oscar for me!!! oh, i’m bald a bit so my hair isn’t quite the same but in honor of you i’ve been working a growing a mullet, once it’s long enough i’ll braid it.
The second question he asked kai was probably the stupidest thing ive ever heard come out of someones mouth. Fuck what a moron
OMG Kai directly answered a question! With one word!

You’re still not getting what i’m saying…
It is irrelevant at this point anyway.
My prediction for the top 5:
1 - Cutler
2 - Kai
3 - Heath
4 - Winklaar
5 - Vic

I secretly really want to see Heath take the top spot.
My ideal top 5 would go like this (this is NOT a prediction!):
Heath (who everyone was dick riding last year but he gets no love for the top spot this year)
Cutler
Fankhouser
Johnnie Jackson
Winklaar
This is a combination of physique and likeability factor.

I get what you’re saying. Beansie, lovers as close as you and I can’t miscommunicate, it’s impossible.
I just don’t care if the general population thinks we’re all trying to overcompensate.

Lanky sometimes gets his Diary and these forums confused. If you read his diary entry, it says “I have a contestant id like to win secretly, but i am under no circumstances telling.” See? poor guy just switched em =(

Lanky? Is WestCoast one of Lankys other screen names these days?
I said it a few pages ago. Keep an eye on Haley. His legs arent big enough for top 6-7 but he can push for top 10.
