You stare at your screen, knowing that you should check your bank account but mindlessly type “T-Nation.com”

You have no idea how true that is. LMAO!![/quote]
I was going to agree with you 100% on that one, but look who beat me to it.
I’ve also learned that when Rainjack is laughing, cussing or talking aloud, it’s not to me. He’s talking to his monitor.
When you and your husband have a night alone and you leave the room to “slip into something more comfortable”, only to find him on the computer when you get back in the room. A true T-Man.

I think Jana is on crack. That’s my defense - Crack Head Jana.

when you’ve seen so many posts that you ACTUALLY think that person’s screen name is their REAL name
-
then you extend people’s avatars to the real world: when you see someone with a goatee thinking, you think vroom. when you hear any quote from Napolean Dynamite, you think rainjack. perhaps we should have a contest to match the avatar to the screen name? i will kick all of your @sses.
-
when you spend more time reading and writing posts to you guys than you do conversing vocally in real life
-
when you actually ponder WHY anyone would name a dog foopa
-
when you see a lifted truck with hugemongous tires, and all you want do is take 'em off and flip 'em
as big as this community seems to be though, it seems as if everyone at the gym is still doing the same ol thing - curls and cardio, so …
how many T-Nation members are there (mods chime in)? how many members post at least once per week on average? how many bottles of Carbolin 19 did Biotest sell ;)?
hmmm …
BFG
When you get 20 PM’s of people showing you some cool porn sites.
When you get PM’s of people telling you they were watching porn and they thought of you.
When you are writing a stinging remark to one of your online advesaries, and your heartrate quickens and your palms begin to sweat.
When you feel as if you know TC, Shugs and a lot of the regulars well enough that if you saw them in real life, it would just be a handshake and a conversation like you’ve known them your whole life.

Its the first thing I type to before routing to any other site…
for banking…
load firefox… go to T-Nation… proceed to banking
When a poster gets you going you start venting to your clueless buddies word for word (using screen names too).
In normal conversation you refer to these names as friends. Again, as if they were actually called that.
You feel like you know the life story and goals of your future members.

There are some great moves with the jumpstretch band in there. High rep hip mobility, hyper-gravity, you name it, those babies Are versatile.
My lifting partner told me he was leaving work the other day and his co-worker who has checked out the site when he has been on it at work called out to him saying “hey, you heading to the gym to meet Elkhntr and Big&40?,”.
Hysterical, it’s like his coworkers know us.
You see a small car and wonder if you could flip it from a deadlift position.
One of these days I am going to flip a car. We all need goals!

Hey Elk…you could land a freakin chopper on that back!
Zeb, thank you for the compliment my conservative brethren. You will be glad to know I am doing pull ups and deadlifts tonight. Peace.

Two of the best movements ever “invented.” By now your workout is over, hope it was a good one!

Ahh, Dond - you didn’t let me down!!
Great thread! I can think of quite a few, but I will only list the ones to which I have actually fallen victim:
-You read the Rainjack’s and Chrismcl’s posts aloud, in the voices of Hank Hill and Master Shake, respectively.
-Your girlfriend drags you to church, and you manage to nod off, over onto her shoulder. After being shrugged awake, you half-consciously mutter, in a voice that is inappropriately loud, “Biblechins!”
-You have anonymously and strategically posted copies of “Merry Christmas, Bob” in some of your friends’ apartments.
-You have wondered if ProfessorX has some kind of mega-toilet that is powered by telekinetic energy.
-You actually get pissed when one of the regulars changes avatars.
-You have constructed a thread with fictitious MMA matches, pitting T-Nation’s more obnoxious members against one another.
-You can aptly recognize over 75% of T-Nation writers by two letters (TC, Cy, CT, CP, CW, LL, etc.)
-You drink a Grow! shake to chase your Grow! bar.

I take great pride in being the bastard poster boy for “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” since everyone knows waaaaaaaaay more than I do!
Hell, even if it true!

vroomie, I’m pretty sure you won’t believe me, but I really do like you.
You come out with the funniest shit sometimes.
