The rubberbandits are literally the only thing worth a ****e on republic of telly.

Some Guy: "i'm having trouble progressing with the shoulder press"

Me: "your grip is way too narrow, you need to improve your lockout, and your lats are letting you down"

Him: " i'm keeping it narrow for the increased ROM"

Me: .........

..............................................................................................

Same Guy: "can you look at my powersnatch technique"

Me: "i can, but i'm not a weightlifter and i'm certainly not a coach and i can't really do it very well myself"

Him: "you're better than me"

He proceeds to snatch

Me: " you're parralel to the ground for a start"

Him: "but my scaps are over the bar"

Me: "dude, it's nowhere near the correct position"

Him: "well i think it'd good for power developement, is there anything else wrong?"

Me: "man, you're not developing any "power" you're rowing the bar, a half amuscle snatch/press while jumping for not reason, would you not consider starting from the hang?"

Him: " no i'm starting from the ground for the full ROM"

Me: " but there's no point starting from the ground if you're in the wrong position".

Him: "we'll just call it a difference of opinion"

Me: *considers beating him* "look man, you asked me, and i'm telling you you're wrong"

/Goes back to lifting

He asked me loads of stuff, and everytime i told what i saw was the problem with whatever the lift he contradicted me.

I considered eating him.

It was the physical manifestation of d'oracle's online persona.

I would put money on him being a boardsie.

You're not just born an asswipe, you have to learn it somewhere.

Edit: Wait, are you calling me an asswi.....?

Preferably not. You can't have all the fun and expect other people not to do it too.

Just ripped the arm out of my shirt when scratching back of my head. Now have to walk around looking like a hobo for the rest of the afternoon. Tangible proof that GOMAD works.

This happened when Lauren and I ran to grab some chinese (I love beef lo mein and crab ragoons) and a movie last night. Normally I always drive but Lauren needed to fill up her car with gas so she was driving. After grabbing our movie she pulls into the gas station and there's only one pump open. Now her gas cap is on the passenger side so she had to do a u-turn around the pumps to pull up to the pump on the correct side.

So this dick face in his corvette sees what we are doing but decides to back up to the only open pump quickly while we are making our lap. Immediately I was like "OH F#%K NO!" Lauren must have pushed the auto locks on the window because when I went to roll it down to tell the guy to move his piece of crap the window wouldn't roll down. I wanted to open the door to jump out but Lauren had pulled up too close to the guy and I couldn't open the door far enough to get out (somehow I don't think that was on accident). So I'm knocking on my window trying to get the guy's attention and Lauren is yelling at me that I'm going to break the window and pretty much begging me to drop it. I told her that I'm not going to kick the guy's ass just make him move his car. Evidently she wasn't buying it and kept asking me to forget about it.

Well about this time a biker looking guy that's on the other side of the pump filling up his truck hollers over to me (I had my door opened as far as it would go and I was trying to squeeze out) that he's done and we can use his pump. He was watching the whole thing with a big smile on his face. So Lauren pulls around to the other side of the pump and she's still begging me to not to kill this guy when I get out. (I don't know why she thought I was going to hurt him). As soon as I hop out the guy with the corvette looks at me and says "I'll move my car if you want me to." I just smiled at him and said "I know".

Silly corvette man, should have lured him over to his pump, doused him in petrol, and then chased him round and round the forecourt with a lighter making chicken noises.
