Wow, you love yourself even more than yourself. The fact that you feel it necessary to point out your physical dimensions makes you sound like a real tool.
Aw get stuffed. I was just making a point. You think I should sit here and let people call me a fraud?
The internet says you're a dick.
And anyway, BMI is a barrel of horseshit. You know that BMI defines George Clooney and Russell Crowe as obese too? It makes no allowances for natural build (I'm barrel chested) and if I want to be "normal weight" according to BMI, I'd need to get down to 184. Now, let me tell you, if I weighed 184 (13st 2lb) my ribs would be sticking out of my skin. It's phoney science with no basis in reality.

I'll still take you on at the first TTLG meet we're both at.

So, Stronts, you're just big boned then?
EDIT, bloody hell Scots is quick draw mcgraw today...

Hey, not fair - we said we wouldn't be talking about the physical dimensions of my tool :cool:

Steering this conversation away from Stronts' penis (or lack thereof) no one has yet posted a link to Lowtax's article on SA about the (
http://www.somethingawful.com/index.php?a=4120) fight. Wasn't as funny as I had hoped for, but still pretty good. For some reason the frontpage of SA is down today, a first in about the four or five years I have been checking out the site.

- Boll makes a whole heapload of shitty movies and is unapologetic about how bad they are
- Lowtax (presumably) rips the shit out of them and (presumably) Boll in the process of doing his usual asshole trolls on SA (I'm not saying they aren't funny, but damn, they can be very offensive if you were the subject of them)
- Boll then invites his harshest critics into a boxing ring under the guise of a PR stunt
It's the "presumably" that's killing your point, Scots. Far as I know, there have never been reviews or anything of Boll's films on SA. Maybe in the forums, but I can't remember or find anything said by Lowtax except as possibly the briefest of asides in a thread -- and I'm not about to go searching through SA's forums for tiny little asides made by a guy who really doesn't post much outside of FYAD.
Either way, none of it changes the fact that Boll was a bit of a jerk about it. It's like if your brother says to you "Hey, let's wrestle a bit, nothing serious... just see if you can pin me" and then starts punching you in the stomach as hard as he can.
Anyway, the whole thing was a stupid bit of PR and some kind of silly ego-massage for Boll. That was all pretty obvious just from the premise. Not to mention the fact that he chose to box people who would presumably bring with them a good number of people to pay $5 to watch the webcast and the GOLDEN PALACE DOT COM advertising.

Well, as I said, I assumed that because it was Boll's original intent - if Lowtax hadn't actually been a harsh detractor then Boll's a bigger asshole and Lowtax is just as stupid as before.

What the hell, did Lowtax take up rape pranks or something since the last time I checked out Something Awful's caustic-but-inoffensive humor? The goon squad can be annoying but for the most part I'm flabbergasted regarding this STUPID LOWTAX business.
