He looked a little "stout" in his pics, so he must be short.


I'm 5'8"


Well, that's not that short. I'm 5'11", and 220-230 lbs

Yes 5'8 is ok...in surfing it pays to be small...in UFC that's a different story...I think it was a short guy who invented the gun. Which I am a deadly shot...

My ex wife was just a tad taller than me...and in heels definitely so. I dated a girl from Finland who was 5'10. But lately it's girls who are shorter than me

I'm a really good shot with a rifle. Especially the mini-14. Handguns are not my thing. Little too shaky for them.
In BC, we have a contest called the BC tough guy fights. I have never won, but faired pretty well, considering there are loose weight classes. I always end up fighting some 300 lb steroid jockey. I'm tough, but not that tough. I usually make it to the finals, but when you're pushing 50, the stamina just isn't there. ( but, only for fighting, he he he ) Laughing

Guys who do steroids are pathetic, they act all tough like they can kick anyones ass, then when they have to go off their cycle, their bodies shrivel up and they turn back into the punks they were.

Nope, not that tall. Just quite wide and thick. I used to work out a lot, especially when I was locked down, and I never lost it. I've been a bit fat at times, maybe 240. Feels really sluggish when you are fat.

yep-I can see that....hand guns require a lot of practice and focus...took me a while to get just ok. Of course I was highly trained with the M-16 and became an instructor. I took a lot of pride in my abilities. But I've always been good with a rifle. Grew up with them and that helped

Yep, unfortunately, in a 3 minute round they can do a lot of damage, there are no rules about those things, but you can only use fists, and those are the guys who usually win, cause they can hit hard. In a street fight, I can do pretty good. Plus when you use steroids you get some very nasty side effects, like cancer.

steroids is a bad gig...I've known a few who suffered from serious roid rage...they usually wear out fast. When our guys went into Iraq...they weren't give roids but they were given a form of spped and then other things to slow them down so they could sleep. Adrenaline is a powerful thing. Roids though are gnarly bad. Not to mention what it does to the complexion...and children...forget about having them

Yeah they are mostly angry when on their cycles and looking for a brawl. One of my brothers had vomiting spells, which were quite nasty.

Spicey's gonna come and accuse us of Carrot abuse, or role in the hole, cause we hijacked his precious thread, but if it wasn't for us, nobody would post anything in this thread.
