Actually, I’m still deciding whether jesuit or capuchin is the way to go.
Nel nomine pater, filius et spiritus sanctus
“Clue #1 that life at a monestary is not for everyone.”
Correction:
in nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti
amen
Ok…This is going a bit too far. Randman and I each called each other out more or less and we each showed a respect for the other person while we did that. That should indicate something; maybe for instance that we have no insecurities or complexes about the other party?We have opinions about each other and we state them, that’s all we do. We don’t try to phrase it as a personal attack, rather as commenting. All in all too much is being read into this. Yes, I’m an egotistical fuck, but so what? You’re more than welcome to be the same way.

Hmm, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and well just as love is blind some people are blind also. I guess the saying, “one mans trash is another mans treasure” can sum it all up. But on a another note, granted people are entitled to their own opinions, but usually if one has an incessant need to tear down another it means they are just insecure. Perhaps some people need to ask themselves are they so insecure they need to try to tear down others.

I hope you’re not directing this drivel towards me. You’ve actually got the gaul to use my words “incessant” and “insecure=self esteem” against me to try to make some brilliant insightful point? Are you an idiot or do just like acting like on on this post? You’ve obviously completely missed the content of all the posts. It has nothing to do with “tearing one down” due to jealously or insecurity. Trust me, PP doesn’t threaten my ego in the least bit. That could be the furthest thing from the truth. I simply called someone out who is constantly seeking attention from others on this board to the point of being extremely annoying. If you’re trying to read anything else into this, you’re either (1) new and have no history on the board (2) you don’t completely read every post to get a full picture of someone’s point or (3) you are an idiot. Which one is it?

I vote “3”. I don’t personally have a problem with proteinpowda’s presence. If someone is flamboyant and gay, they have the right to be. I, for one, stand up for his right to be a homosexual and to prance around this board drawing attention to himself for no other reason than to see his name in print. By the way, I loved his post in the Think Tank that went something like, “since when can we post here?” Simply brilliant. I think some of his more flaming work borders on sheer genius. I mean, he walked right past ambiguous, said a brief, “see ya” to bisexuality, and walked right up to open gaiety and said, “hello world, this is who I am!!”. He then did two snaps and a 'round the world, but that is neither here nor there.

Thats the funniest shit Ive read and heard all day. And the funniest thing about it, is its the truth. What the fuck is T- Nation forum coming to.
That’s enough. Enough calling me out, enough picking on me. Actually I"m quite surprised at Prof. X b/c he has my utmost respect and I thank him for making me realize a few things about my physique and my goals. But other than that…this is a god-damn forum. I’ll see you all when I have something worth posting b.c apparently the knowledge I’ve acquired pertraining to many subjects which I’m sure surpasses a lot of others on this forum (not sayin all, or even a majority) apparently has no merit or value to you. It’s funny that I used to receive more respect on this forum when I was but a 180lb kid obsessed with cutting and posted a few before/after shots of my diet. I’m sorry that maybe I do post too many pics, but I like to physically back up what I say and give it some merit. I don’t look at it as being gay, I look at is a long-period scientific experiment and my body is the test tube, and you guys are the scientists observing it and pointing out a few subleties that I don’t notice. But apparently, I guess that’s a bad thing. I guess it’s a bad thing to want to advance myself physically as fast I can without the aid of a trip to Mexico. I guess it says nothing that I go to one of the top party schools in the country and don’t even drink or that I’m not even going to drink on my 21st b-day. I guess the fact that I break down my life’s actions into a series of calories and macronutrients, in a logically based table has nothing to do with being a T-man b/c I just post too much physical data about my experiment. So maybe instead I should just not correspond here for awhile, and when I have achieved an acceptable state of my experiment and you can help me with the analysis and conclusion.

Powda, you do seem to be a pretty nice guy… that being said, you do seem to feel the need to constantly seek attention whether its positive or negative. Just my two cents!

Right, an animated gif of a person in a purple hippopotamus suit acting out ass-slapping doggy-style sex is not attention grabbing at all.
If having a simple avatar is seen by you as attention grabbing, then you just labeled 90% of the people in this forum as such.
You can misquote me if you feel you need to do so in order to help make your point. The fact remains that I never suggested that having an avatar constitutes an attempt to draw attention to oneself. I made an observation that one person was criticizing another for drawing attention to himself in an “over the top” fashion, while the accuser was also–perhaps inadvertently and harmlessly–drawing attention to himself in what I, personally, consider to be an over the top fashion.
I thought others would agree and also find it humorous. Apparantly, I was wrong. No big deal.
No offense meant to anyone, which I believe I made clear in my initial post as well. I happen to like randman’s avatar.[/quote]
Your logic still eludes me. You took one term “over the top” to make a connection between two issues that are in completely different contexts. Having a ridiculous avatar is SIGNIFICANTLY different than constant attention seeking through your words and actions on this board. Let me give you a ridiculous analogy of what connection you’re trying to make here.
Suppose I tell you that you’re gay because you insist on wearing PURPLE high heels while you type your posts on this board and you immediately strike back at me and say “well, you have a PURPLE dinosuar avatar so you must be gay too”. WTF?
I’m starting to get a headache trying to understand how some people think and interpret the world around them on this thread. What’s wrong with you people?
PS. Is it a hippo or a dinosaur? That is the question.

This was way too much writing and I did not read it all. What you need to understand is that you have made yourself a target. It isn’t that anyone had to step outside and put forth any effort to create that persona for you. You seem to need attention constantly. That’s fine. We all do on some level. Most of us into bodybuilding have probably all caught ourselves looking into shopping store windows, and instead of focusing on the merchandise, try to check out how we look in our reflection and if our arms really are that big. That bit of “self infatuation”, narcissism, or conceit is there in most humans to some degree.
But, you, dear testosterone reader, have taken it from everday focus on self to the “hey guys, have you all talked about me lately? Please don’t forget to add ME to at least one good conversation today” zone. Then, for some strange reason, you act surprised when all attention actually does turn towards you. How strange, huh? I don’t know if you are gay and don’t care. I honestly don’t think anything about you until I log in and check new thread topics. You are a newbie in the gym and that is the extent of my consideration as far as what you do in your life or why. Apparently, no one has yet written anything that equates to hatred of you…yet we get this “Dear John” note from you which, in my opinion, was one of the most mellow dramatic attempts at a tear jerk I have ever read. GAWD. Hell, I KNOW you will come back and read this response. How do I know that? You live for this. It made your day when that other thread you first started turned into a 1,000 page Powda-Fest. Just quit lying to yourself, or us, and be whatever or whoever you are. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me the water hydrant broke. If you love attention, embrace that. Be you. Just don’t act surprised when someone rides you for it.

Have some drinks on your 21st birthday. No matter what your diet plan consists of, one night of binge drinking won’t kill you.
-
I don’t know why you would be breaking your life down into macronutrients and tables. I break down my meals into macronutrients, but thats it. It sounds to me like you need to learn to have fun without drinking.
-
I’m not “calling you out” or “picking on you,” in fact I usually enjoy your posts, however I don’t need a long dramatic farewell message. If I wanted that kind of fruity shit I’d watch “The OC” and drink wine coolers.
I’m not going to debate this anymore. Nobody cares about it but us. Suffice it to say that when I read your comments, I pictured a person in a purple dinosaur suit slapping ass while at the same time criticizing others for drawing attention to themselves. I thought it was a funny image. Clearly, I’m the only one.
You seem to think it’s a dinosaur. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do;?id=467841&pageNo=2 I thought so too, but in hindsight, it does look more like a hippo to me.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who noticed that too.
As for this thread, this is hilarious. Tonight is the first time I’ve looked through this thread and this is some of the best banter since PP’s first pix or XCelticX’s pics.
Can’t wait to keep reading.
