EMT guy I work with (note, I am not an EMT. This guy joined the Navy after being an EMT) got into a ton of trouble last year when called in to a scene, man had committed suicide by shooting himself and lighting his house on fire. Had left a bunch of scuba tanks around so they would blow up as well, posed a pretty big threat to the EMT’s reporting to the scene.
Well anyway my buddy, 5’4 little Jewish fella with the charisma of a 6’5 nfl linebacker (and incidentally one of the coolest life paths I’ve come across), walks in and goes “anybody fancy some barbecue?” Apparently that was deemed inappropriate…
Yeah, so my brother in law is a retired NYC cop. Took a baby out of a freezer, was called to a disturbance where the wife was stabbing the corpse of her husband in front of the girlfriend.
My brother was an ER doctor. Most of his stories were about dudes swallowing Barbie heads because they liked how it felt passing them, or the dude with a zucchini in his rectum that claimed he was trying to save time by making a salad while showering.
But, he also had the experience of having the transplant team discuss the benefits of transplantation with a potential donor, a sixteen year old girl hit by a bus on Orange Blossom Trail.
She was clearly dead.
The parents wanted to know when the donor organs would arrive.
Yap if his job is to stir contributors, you don’t expect him to survive on a forum for long. I read his pieces on the new forum and concluded that it is difficult to teach an old dog new tricks. He carried the same behaviour that saw him exit this forum to the new forum and guess what? It happened again. He was dismissed unceremoniously. I am still combing sites to see if the prof. has found a new home. Will keep you posted if anything new comes by.
I read that forum for the amount of time he was there too. You did notice that a lot of the regular members there who were involved, to put it really mildly, aren’t exactly very well adjusted individuals, didn’t you lol.
Is it weird that I love stories like this? I’ve got one:
I knew this old dude that used to deal heroin in a shithole part of Glasgow (Glasgow has our countries greatest shitholes). So he’s selling scag to this prostitute who’s been on the game, and on the smack, for years.
Now, after a lifetime on the smack, you need to start getting creative with where you inject that sweet, sweet nectar. This particular lady had taken to pinning the veins in her fingers, and had been doing so for quite some time.
So she’s in the middle of doing some business entertaining a client, and she’s wearing a pair of long, sexy gloves. She’s shaking her hips, dancing all sexy like, and slowly peels off the gloves…
I do part time work at a funeral home and when we get really old (dead) people, you have to be careful with their skin during embalming - if you pull on their arms or hands their skin can come off like a glove. Then you have to glue it back on in patches.
Are we referring to Dave P’s site or another one? When you describe some of the members like that it makes me think of GetBig, but I haven’t been in there In a while.
I don’t think I saw him there. There were a couple of weirdos, an admin that boasted about hitting a 90kg bench for the first time and the guy that started a muscle mag and youtube channel featuring himself and Greg Valentino. Nobody was using the term “bloofy” as far as I recall.
I never actually spent anytime there; I just know it by reputation.
T-Nation is really the only lifting forum I post on. I occasionally lurk Pro M but it’s just all drug talk which gets pretty boring pretty quickly. I liked IM back in its heydey but it’s a ghost town now.
