Just digging away at that hole, at least you’re good at shoveling. These look more dangerous than I’d imagined. Wow.
This video does not make the argument that you think it makes.
Way more dangerous than I had imagined also.
facepalm Seriously, Jamie? What did you honestly think that was going to accomplish? Lordy.
That was nothing more than a bullshit, “I’m frustrated” fb-status update…“Anyone wanna join a message board? I could really use some moral support.” It’s not like if I actually wanted people that I’m friends with to join I’d just broadcast a status update to every “fb friend” out there; I’d contact them privately. It’s not as if most of my “fb friends” know me any better than most of you all here anyway.
But I’m glad I"m being checked up on, Hurpa.
The only reason I posted a video (and continued posting anything on the subject) was because I wanted people to have a clear idea of what has been being discussed. So much has been speculated, I thought seeing actual footage of the exercise would be clarifying for some (regardless of how one might feel).
Just a couple of notes: This here is done at Genesys Athletic Club, not HHFC; so there are a few differences. For one, I am significantly higher up here at Genesys than I was at HHFC; this is why I am lifted back to the ground instead of just dropping myself. At HHFC, when I am fully extended hanging by my arms, I’m only a few inches above the ground, making dropping myself safe and easy.
I didn’t expect minds to be changed. I simply wanted minds to be formed using the right information.
These two don’t mesh.
And let’s face it, the only reason why your FB friends agree with you is because they’re your friends or because they’re not hearing the whole story.
What doesnt mesh?? Go back and look at the fucking post HurpaDurpa.
I’ll push your ridiculous hostility aside for a sec and say aren’t you making a fairly big assumption here? An assumption that anyone whom I was referring to earlier in reference to strapping 45lb plate weights to their waist was indeed using a similar nylon weight belt to the one you are shoving in my face here?
Dickweed. And again, at HHFC I was only dropping a few inches to the ground, not 3-4 feet. Under no circumstances have I ever dropped myself from a height of 3-4 feet.
It looks insanely dangerous - I am surprised the new gym allows it - I wouldn’t.
Even if your wheels were only “a few inches” from the ground, it is also dangerous.
Although I do kinda suspect your definition of “a few inches” is going to be closer to 20" than 2"
Not only has someone “checked up on” you, they’ve now given you an opportunity, which you took, to show that you’re not only a jackass, but also a liar. The post you made on Facebook is pretty clear.
That you said it was just a bullshit frustration post right before telling us that it was in fact a call to action.
Jamie: Anyone feel like joining a message board? I could really use some moral back up… 
Jamie: [After someone asks why he bothers to argue with “idiots.”] I dont know…A strong desire to set them straight
Jamie: So I expect you to join. Replies to this thread imply agreement to join said message board. The name of it is The Straight Dope Message Board.
Jamie: [After someone asks if he’s getting picked on.] Holy shit yes
Worse than ever
I had to ask for one thread to be closed and I stopped reading or participating in my “bbq pit” thread. Its full of HATE
Bolding mine.
Right. If it was just a random frustrated Facebook post why would you carefully spell out the name of the message board to make sure your little friends came to the right place?
I do like how you describe yourself as being ‘picked on’. Like there was just no way you could have avoided people confronting you on your passive aggressive bullshit that you have made eleventy billion threads about.
I don’t need to explain my private life in the first place but this is so stupid. “Replies to this thread imply agreement to join said message board” is fucking SARCASM. :rolleyes: And that shit you bolded at the end is from a convo from another member who became my fb friend after I joined SDMB.
Who knew this place grew so many dickweeds?? Get the fucking Raid. :mad:
More from Jamie:
Here he tells some tales about Dopers:
And, just because I think it’s funny…
Yeah, right, that’s why you spelled out “The Straight Dope Message Board.” If your pals happened to join so they could meatpuppet for you, well, how could you have foreseen that! You were just being sarcastic!
Relevance? You were telling them all that you’d stopped posting in the BBQ Pit thread. And here you are!
If you’re implying anything untoward, I told the original posters of those “viral statuses” that I was stealing their posts. Go look that up.:rolleyes: You’re cherry picking.
Out of all of that you focused on the “post this if you agree!” part? Really? Who’s cherry-picking again?
Seriously dude, this is bordering on weird. Why are you all up in my shit? You are plucking things and pasting them and trying to make me look as bad as you can. But it’s not true. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have pictures of me cut out and glued all over your bedroom wall, fuckin’ ass bag. Do what you want, I’m tired I’m going to bed.
I meant the posters here on SDMB.
