    No one here is asking that MC be banned, or his posts removed. A big difference from wov.
    As adults we realize the world is full of all kinds of people....including racists.

    And who wouldnt want to get their asses kicked hard.I wouldnt take that as an insult or a threat. MC seems to be fixated on mens asses and black mens penises. To each his own I say.

    I wouldnt be surprised if he owned a flying penis and flying mens ass shirt. Very popular at Kmart in the 90's.

    Poor Spike, at least he claims that his dog loves him.

    I just get the feeling that his dog loves him in a way that I dont want to know about.

    Yes, he has fallen in line and flushed his self respect down the toilet.

    But give him credit, he did talk very big, and had balls for a few short weeks in his life.

    WoV still has good traffic, lots of posts, but there's not as much "there" there.

    Like the old hag on the Wendy's commercial brayed: "Where's the beef?"

    Not enough Las Vegas focused posts over there, and less and less about AP.

    I see GG is getting a bit of a pulse again.

    That observation is not surprising. There used to be alot better sports betting exchanges. Now its alot of "go toronto" or "go xyz team"......which is more appropriate on a sports fans board rather than a gambling boards. Even the thread on the kentucky derby has no "meat".

    I will start a KD thread like I did on patricks site 2 years ago. Trackman and Hugo and others would comment and it was rather active.

    We will see here if there is any activity on that topic.

    But to get back to the original V comment.

    As people go away either quietly or with an announcement on wov....it leaves behind more of the munchkins that like to whine and criticize as their gift to the site. As they become a larger percent of the community(as others leave)......they become even more annoying....leading to a domino effect.

    But that is a business goal most successful businesses have.....customer retention. Customer acquisition is useless unless you can solve the retention issue. At wov, the retention aspect of a business is greatly lacking. Heck you have people in position of power that dont even admit wov is a business.....its still "mikes place"....."mikes home". Heck once I started talking that type of blasphemy(wov is a business and we are customers) ....i was nuked.

    So they made the bed, and zuga has to sleep in it.

    Like I said before. If you have a good life, if you have friends and family that loves you, a good job, money in the bank, go on nice vacations to let off steam, have nice homes,........then you dont sweat the small stuff like insulting posts on an anonymous board. In fact as I said before, not a single person who doesnt know me personally has any weight in their words that can make me feel insulted. And no matter how intent someone is on thinking they can make me feel "shame" by being listed on a suspension list.....it aint gonna happen. LIFE IS TOO GOOD. I dont get insulted or feel shame from people who I dont know.

    Yet the cries of "poor me I am insulted please punish the person" are plentiful on that board.It seems there are alot of unhappy people needing some sort of attention.


    Its an unhealthy situation created by mentally unhealthy people.

    I'm not a huge sports bettor but I'm already up $900 this season. I average around a $6000 earn per season. What's my technique? I don't handicap players, teams, matchups, etc. I handicap a particular sportsbook's lines against the consensus lines.

    V suggested more healthy food for the over eating contest. I dont see agreement. One person even said the fun of it all is seeing people eat all the grease.
    The manboy is intrigued but as of yet non committed. Although it seems very coincidental that after the heat he gets on this site for the contest, he is thinking of making this one...the last one.

    Like I said before, Just have someone have an undiagnosed gall bladder issue and an ambulance will be needed,. The all the giggling fools can giggle their way to the local hop[ital to visit the idiot contestant.

    It is totally sick to enjoy seeing others put so much grease into their system in such short a time. Its a joy of seeing others suffer while you cheer, bet, and laugh at their plight

    It seems the same dude that enjoys the sounds of bugs being electrocuted, also enjoys the sight and sound of humans in physical misery.

    It's a changing world: people are increasingly conscious about the deleterious affects of fast food, at least when compared to healthy food.

    My point: if the whole idea of the competition is to watch someone eat a huge amount of food in one sitting, then should it matter what food is consumed?

    Why not decent food, instead of crap?

    Must one pay a terrible price for gluttony?

    thats not the point. There are people like the manboy that gets his giggles watching someone vomit up food that is loaded with fat.


    The immense amount of fat injested causes the vomiting,..you know the type of vomiting showed via the husband of the year video. Now that is really funny...right?

    I would guess there would be no interest in "how many pounds of lettuce can you eat" contest.

    I think there is a trainwreck interest in these type contests. I think some folks are just waiting for the puking to begin. They find that entertaining, whether it be in hotdog eating contests, pie eating contests, or greasy chicken nugget contests.

    The participants are nothing more than court jesters gorging on food for the entertainment of others. Sacrificing their bodies for insignificant gain, so that others can laugh and joke at their discomfort.

    While you are of course entitled to your opinion, I would be remiss if I did not point out that the biggest trencherman fete of the year, the one at Nathan's on Coney Island in NY does not emphasize or focus at all upon contestants vomiting.

    I've watched them compete quite a few times and have to memory of the camera showing images of competitors hurling.

    There is less likelyhood of vomiting at Nathans, because the buns(carbs) soak up the fat....and it is dipped in water which makes it go down easier. However they are doing their dance while others watch, some hoping they see the ultimate accident(vomiting) because that tickles their funny bone. Some sick people with gambling interest want to see vomiting of opponents, and others watching would enjoy the final horn sounding and seeing a few contestants doubled over in pain.
    I personally watched once on tv for a few minutes, and it nauseated me, it was like I felt someone was going to vomit soon, so I turned the channel..
    But to be fair, there are people who pay good money to see one man inflict concussions on another man....and when one man falls to the floor after being hit in the head(a sure sign of an inflicted concussion)......the fans do not yell in unison "for gods sake please find this man a neurologist before he stands up to continue fighting"...they instead scream"get up you bum, I want my money's worth"(unless you bet on the other guy).
    They call it "the sweet science".....as if they are interested in tactics, strategy. and angles of punches thrown, and numbers of jabs, and left hooks...all of which can be appreciated even if the fighters wore headgear. But alas there is no clamoring for headgear since people love to see the infliction of pain.

    So its not unusual in our society to get joy out of the infliction of pain or a pending possible infliction of pain. Whether its inflicted by another party as in boxing,or self inflicted as in mcnugget eating, or daredevil performances.

    I am not saying that the manboy is the only person in the world that gets joy out of watching the infliction of pain/injury. As long as there are boxing fans, and evil knievil fans........the manboy has company.

    As I re-read this i dated myself "turning the channel".......actually there was a time when you had a dial and you "turned" to a channel.(before remotes were invented).

    Competitive eaters train. They regularly see the doctor. They win money, some up to $150k a year, and only ply their skills at sanctioned events. The goal is not to vomit for the pleasure of others. The most successful are slim and physically fit. Not my thing but they have a large following.

    The selfish slobs who will be at the McDonalds at the D will be rooting for vomiting. They will invade a legitimate business with total disregard for it and it's customers. They will not seek permission before disrupting this business nor will they seek permission to film. As usual manboy will seek out some down and outer and offer him an incentive to embarrass himself for his personal pleasure. Will the sniff the unicycle seat competition be held there as well?

    Beached whale is really scrounging to get her post count up. She just regurgitated (pun intended) a year old thread about a pancake eating contest. She said she'd be up for it. Can't make this week's puke fest though. The bikini's a little tight. :-(

    The glee certain people get from the vomiting result of trying to eat 100 pieces of fat fried chicken meat is proven just by the fact that husband of the year has his vomiting posted.

    Either manboy posted it...or he allowed it to be posted. If someone else in his tribe posted it, just a simple word from the manboy would squash it.

    However it seems so so funny to the manboy that it had to be posted. Hey look at what I caused husband of the year to do...look at the power I have. I might have had a bad day, but I can make another human being vomit, I can gross out customers, and then I can go home and suspend folks while I watch my big zapper. All of a sudden my bad day is much better.

    Its a recurring theme. Presiding over inflicting pain, discomfort, and shame is common.

    Another typical post from the sad, friendless, broken down alcoholic passed out in his own vomit. What's the matter? Did you get up on the wrong side of the cardboard box this morning? Better get down to that free clinic on skid row and get your liver checked.

    Okay, your turn. Tell us how you're going to kick our asses and throw in a few racist comments. That's all you know you pathetic little man.

    his last post above would have gotten him 30 days on wov if directed at people still living there. They would cry that their feelings were hurt. That "Mikes place" wasnt respected. Such a catastrophe in ones life.

    And then when he gets 30 days....there would be a whole other crying game moaning that he should have received 60 days.
