TribunalDude, who is that robot in your avatar?
It’s not a robot. It’s the Tribubal from Marvel Comics.

I’ve always wondered what BR looks like. lol[/quote]
There’s a shitty-quality face pic of me on my profile. I’m not a camera person, don’t own one, and haven’t been in the habit of asking others to give me copies of whatever pics they take of me. So as odd as it sounds for 2009, I don’t myself have pics besides my driver’s license and passport.
I went to the trouble of buying a disposable camera to get that pic, for someone I was corresponding with. Pretty much a disaster: almost every try was with flash, and the mirror spread the light everywhere. The non-flash pics were near-hopelessly underexposed and unsaturated. Getting my skin tone about right with the computer resulted in my hair turning green. Crappy pic.
It happened that the angle is useless for physique: too turned for any width judgment to be possible, camera too high for shoulder thickness to be visible. Not that either is great anyway, though vastly improved from start which was awful, but the pic shows nothing. The photographic quality might barely allow you to discern traps.
I’m sure a physique pic would not impress. I’m consistently told, whenever anyone guesses my weight, I weigh 20-30 lb less than actual. The size of my head does not help: using the Reeves formula, I forget what it works out to but my chest for example would have to be at least 48", or maybe it was 50", to be proportional with my head size. But it’s 44". If I had a head proportional to chest size, arm size, hip size, leg size, etc, maybe I wouldn’t look so small 
It actually is kind of funny. Now this wasn’t from a person out to knock me. Quite the opposite: there are some young guys (by which I mean in their 20s) in the gym that I’ve noticed tend to imitate me. There are two crews that now squat and DL in their socks, for example, and started shortly after I did and one of them asking about it. And unusual exercises I do, I see various young guys doing. And this was one of these guys. So obviously he doesn’t have a bad opinion of me. And he’s having an enthusiastic conversation, and at some point he says something like, “I guess you’re pushing 179 now?” and I just had no idea what he meant. 179 lb? Who lifts that? What exercise does he have in mind?
He meant weight!
Forget what I was, but I was at least 205.
Then there was the old lady at the supermarket who, on seeing me use the scale, absolutely insisted “You do NOT weigh that.”
So I have no doubt a pic would be unimpressive if I went to the trouble, which I don’t have the interest to do.
I do find it a shame that I don’t have pics of pet animals that have since passed, out of not being a pic person. It would be nice to have them. But it just isn’t something I do.
Mr. Roberts, you kick ass

agreed. you have my absolute respect.
but DAMN DUDE. it’s two thousand and fucking nine. get your ass out of the stone age and get a normal camera and some pictures.
It wouldn’t work. I have briefly tried it, once in my mid teens and once in my early 20’s. I just am not a picture taker. Not of anything.
The time I tried in my early 20’s, I thought it would be interesting to take pics of the Sun through a solar filter, and for a brief period during that time I liked taking some cloud pictures. But both got old and that was that.

Yes, but at the time people used flashbulbs which were a hassle.
j/k
I’m the same way. I know very few men aged mid-30s and up who made a habit of being in front of a camera.

Such a hot potato for some reason.
Anything from the orient (East Asia) is oriental, not just rugs. Anything from Asia is Asian, not just people.
Oriental is more specific than Asian, since Russians are Asian, but probably not what you had in mind when you said people are Asian. Russians aren’t oriental, though.
Walk up to the next Asian person you see and explain that to them.[/quote]
I assume you mean far East Asian person by that i.e. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese etc.
[quote] I’ll be interested in their response. I’ve seen people get stabbed for less.

I saw a clip once of a women going a bit bat shit crazy about being called a vase, but my guess is that it’s the ones who aren’t in Asia anymore, but live in America instead who are so touchy about it. I’ve a friend who’s from Hong Kong who hates being called Asian and was very pleased that I used the phrase “of oriental origin” instead.
Yep. That’s when you know you’ve made progress.
Tribunaldude is legit. Whether his knowledge comes from personal experience or merely observing and synthesizing what others have said, I don’t know. He definately has the insight of a psychologist. He also has a very high IQ.
He is the most interesting person who posts on this forum. He is also one of the smartest. He is so smart and so subtle that most of his jokes fly over the heads of the >120 IQ crowd. Most of you think 120 IQ is smart. Technically, it sort of is. Shuggy baby, e.g., is in that range.
But it’s not actually smart… at least if you’re used to conversing with brilliant people. And thus many of you who consider yourself smart (and who indeed are above average in intelligence) don’t “get” Tribunaldude. Those of you in the >110 range… You must hate the guy since it would be nearly impossible to understand 50% of what he writes - even though he uses clear language.
Oddly enough, the dully probably appreciate Tribunaldude more than those of you in the 110-120 purgatory. There’s a brutal nature of his posts that stupid people with street smarts could appreciate.
He is also almost certainly a sociopath. His charm hides his sociopathy from most of the world, and thus almost no one would know (until it was too late), that he’s a sociopath.
He would be fun to hang around with for a few days. If you did business with him, you’d end up ripped off; in prison; both; or much worse.
I don’t expect most of you to understand what I wrote. Those who do understand, never needed to be told.
And thus you see why it’s impossible for most of you to fully appreciate or comprehend Tribunaldude.

Well instead of buying a fancy camera and telling yourself you are going to practice photography… why don’t you just get a regular digital camera solely for the purpose of tracking physique changes on a monthly or quarterly basis. I doubt that is something that you would not follow through on as was the case the last time you had a camera. It is no different then a training log… You may want to look back in five years and wonder what you looked like…

When using the “greater than” and “less than” symbols, the “small” end always points to the smaller number. So, >120 IQ crowd would mean greater than 120 IQ. I know what you meaned but those that are totally much less smarter than you or I is probably got confuzed.

110 means greater than 110. It’s nice how you always try to seem so smart but consistently overestimate your own intelligence. You shouldn’t have edited your post and maybe you wouldn’t sound so UNintelligent.
BTW, I’m in the >130 category.
I’m always entertained by a well formulated keyboard-trashing from T-Dude.

Pointing out typos posted contained in a post on an online message board is indeed a sign of superior intelligence.
I am humbled.

lol…
alright, wip em out and measure them. Your IQs, that is…
Ive actually dropped the IQ bomb on here once. It was 147. and thick.
Wow, you’re almost as smart as Fat T Man!

No, you’re not. You’re another guy with 120 who adds an extra 10 points.
I’ve actually been tested. Have you? What standard and when was the test date?
You’ll stall long enough to do research on Google to pick the right name. You probably won’t even have a typo in your message board post, since it’s very important to use good grammar and get the spelling just right. AFter all, that’s a sign of intelligence!
LOL. Actually, it’s NOT. But that is something you would never know.
Indeed, it’s the above average who obsess over typos. Since, ultimately, that’s the limit of your analytical abilities. You can’t deconstruct arguments with any sophistication; or provide any insights. So you edit! It’s the only way to make yourself feel superior.
It’s endearing and annoying. Forgive them, father, for they know not what they do.
