Who Will Get To 5000 Posts First?

 

 

Contestant #1

 

jpfitness

Age varies, varies, varies.

 

Advantages

 

1. Has body doubles (even though he vehemently denies this) posting for him as well as impersonating him at his gym, giving him even more time to post.  Given the fact that he’s amassed 2,300+ posts since October 2002, he’s well on his way.

 

2. Doesn't waste valuable Men's Health posting time on Brothers In Iron, or his own site for that matter.

 

3. Sustains his energy from regular deliveries of supreme pizzas from Kaiser's Downtown Chicago Pizza Shack.

 

4. "Hey jp" is probably the most common thread title, hence he's forced to respond, and the post tally goes up!

 

5. He’s here to “Pump You Up.”

 

 

Disadvantages

 

1. Takes way too much time trying to justify the fire storm he created on T-Mag with those swiss ball pictures.  He should have just let those idiots wallow in there own mire and maybe sent them a link to www.dictionary.com.

 

2. He posts on the Men's Health forum in the wake of an F5 tornado in Little Rock while standing on a swiss ball and curling an Olympic bar with his left hand.

 

3. Apparently has to make time for running a gym and taking care of a young family between fitness retreats; unfailingly  positive attitude means he can't get into arguments which usually require short posts and pad your numbers.

 

 

Contestant #2

 

Popeye

Age 44, 5’7”, 152lbs.

 

Advantages

 

1. Single. Has nothing better to do.

 

2. Very clever and creative--can make his boss believe that he occasionally works allowing him to post instead.

 

3. His "1000 post club" thread allows him to rip off other people's posts for his own use upping his numbers.

 

Disadvantages

 

1. Lengthy, thought-out posts.

 

2.  Lives on west coast and has to deal with the fact that most of us leave work while it is still early in the afternoon for him.

 

3. King of the non sequitur. Many people don't respond to some of his posts because they don't understand what the hell he said. Therefore, the thread dies.

 

 

Contestant #3

 

Tony Soprano

Age 33, 5’10”, 155lbs.

 

Advantages

 

1. Works in the Network Engineering industry, has extremely fast computers at his disposal and 24 hour high speed Internet access.

 

2. Pads his numbers with short witty posts (occasionally described as 'smart-assed' by Kaiser) and with brief sarcastic exchanges with 416freeze.

 

3. Many of his posts consist of only an emoticon, or occasionally an emoticon repeated several times.

 

Disadvantages

 

1. Wastes valuable Men’s Health posting time on Brothers In Iron.

 

2. He's not very good or very fast at typing and his supply of cut and paste posts are dwindling rapidly...I mean, how many times can you post "Soy vs. Whey: You've Been Tricked!".

 

3.  Occasionally has to talk to wife instead of the guys on Men's Health.

 

And the Winner Is…
