Sixty-three pieces of meat altogether, sixty of those being, admittedly, chunks that qualify as “bite sized” depending on how big a mouth you have. The other three were miniature steaks, meant to be grilled and cut into pieces, then dipped in melted butter.

Sounds like a good meal here in Nebraska.
Happy Birthday, Varg!

When I’m not going out to Gyu-kaku, I order my meat from a guy who has a company called The Meat Guy. His name is Jason Morgan, and his family owns Morgan Ranch in Burwell, Nebraska. On said ranch they grow the best Wagyu outside of Japan, then ship it to Japan and sell it at way-below market prices. If you order 150 dollars worth they’ll deliver it to your door for free.
And you get a hell of a lot for 150 bucks. My last shipment wouldn’t all fit so I had to get a second refrigerator.
Nebraska beef kicks ass. And Japanese food health and safety laws make USDA regs look like a fucking joke, so it’s a given that only the best of the best is allowed into the country. I have never gotten a bad piece of meat from your state, sir. And I’ve eaten a LOT of it.

Good bump Edgy; I had forgotten about this thread[/quote]
a couple of months ago, me and the wife were walking down the sidewalk on our way to lunch with some friends when some tweaker started walking towards us, and was telling me (loudly) that I was like Goldberg (the wrassler) and he wanted me on his side when the apocalypse came.
think that tweaker knew something that we dont?

Edgy if they are intimidated then that’s on them, maybe they need to act a little bigger. Did you ask her how big her (insert any body part here) is?[/quote]
yeah, no - I am not as quick thinking as I would like to be -

I will say this. I get WAY more attention from guys who are out with their girls than I do from the girls lol. The dudes are always unnecessarily paranoid about it and make it out to be a much bigger deal to their girlfriend than it is. It’s not actually that important to chicks at all.
Guys definitely do NOT challenge you though. I have a theory on this. Most guys who are as “jacked” as you actually understand the culture and what it takes and they actually have a de facto bond with you about it lol. They can recognize a fellow iron brother. Guys who are out for trouble aren’t going to go for you. You’re way too big of a risk, and they don’t want to get their ass kicked. They either go for a smaller, easier target OR they go for the biggest, tallest guy they can find, because then, even if they fail they at least get some cred for taking on such a giant. Jacked dudes of average height fall into a deadzone here.
Maybe. I know at college I accidentally scared the shit out of girls on more than one occasion 
I don’t know that that had anything to do with my physical proportions or just the fact that they’re told repeatedly at orientation that every male they see is out to rape them.

More guys definitely take notice and approach you and want to talk about how you get so big etc. than females.
Never had an issue of someone wanting to fight me because of my size, but then again I don’t hang out in bars or around idiots if at all possible.
I have been told on more than 1 occasion by females that I am just too big and scary.
kinda sucks in the theater when someone tells you that they cant see the screen cause your neck is so effing hey-ooge~

And I found their website. Looks like I need to give them an order.
Thanks!
I’m a big guy to begin with but my jack-ness is starting to show through. I feel like I have the weightlifter waddle these days, because I am sore most of the week. A vendor shows up and as I was walking him back to the office, he was behind me and he blurts out, “yeah, I’ve been going to gym…” It was sort of random, I’m trying to connect with/impress you kind of move.
My boss is a small guy who dropped about 80lbs recently by a high priced fade diet. He likes to zoom down the hall very quickly. I have to peak out of my door before I come out so I don’t flatten him.

I love to lift. I love being sore. I love feeling like my lungs are about to explode when I do my sprints. I love when I see fellow iron brothers at the gym and getting that nod even if I don’t really know them. Pretty tired of this pussified society to try meatless- Mondays that we have here locally.

Meatless Monday?? What is the world coming to?![/quote]
I hereby pledge to eat twice as much meat on Mondays to help offset the “going to hell in a handbasket world” in which we find ourselves.
Come and join me! Let us devour the carcasses of tasty animals with fervor![/quote]
Push.
My favourite restaurant here is a yakiniku joint called Gyu-kaku. For thirty dollars you can have as much barbecued meat as you can eat. For an extra ten dollars you can wash it down with as much beer or other alcoholic beverages as you can drink.
And the waitresses are hot.
When you come, we must go there… preferably on a Tuesday night, for then it will be Mundane Meatless Monday in Max’s neck of the woods.[/quote]
God! I miss Japan! I’ll be sure to visit it next time i travel over there.
The author spells pecs with a ck, enough said really.
I get challenged in clubs a lot, but I think that has less to do with me being a fluffy 6’1 230lbs, and more to do with having a punchable face and a totally just classification as a douchebag.
Here are some more profound changes in life brought on by lifting weights.
I’ve been asked to help move three, count 'em, THREE wood stoves in the last few months. Those fuckers are heavy!
I was the first person fetched to help push my coworkers’ front wheel drive automobiles out of the lot during that huge blizzard a few weeks ago.
People seem to apologize to me more often, even in the absence of anything that warrants an apology.
Edgy- great bump and honestly epic tale and interesting example of the strained relationship masculinity/strength/aggressiveness/confidence has with society these days.
MaximusB- is it that not eating meat is not masculine, or that your region is trying to impose the concept on everyone, a combination of both or something different that is aggravating about “meatless Monday?” This is also generally for everyone, as many of us have a visceral reaction to vegetarianism/veganism and I wonder if it has to do with those diets themselves, or rather, something about the “typical person” who identifies as being a proponent of one of those diets
