I’m surprised he isn’t in a helicopter because I heard he has been flying those for like 45 years.

Just remember folks, someone being fat is not a reason to hate them. Theres literally nothing else about him thats a redeeming quality, his being a lardass is the least deplorable thing about him. The fact that he must just shovel empty calories into his maw all day atleast limits the stupid shit coming out of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 minutes ago

It's not that it's deplorable, it's that it's comical given the context of him making a career being a self-deluded unconvincing badass.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

For him it's not the fact that he's fat, but the absolute tragedy of a personality that excuses themselves shoveling food into his gullet. Cause you just know that in his own head he thinks he could still kick anyone's ass.

Most people aren't fat for that reason and being fat isn't a reason to make fun. But Steven Segal's pathology makes him being fat a little funny.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 33 minutes ago

As a fatty, I can agree with this sentence.

My favorite Steven Seagal story, from his Wikipedia page:

Seagal has been accused by former stunt performers who have worked with him, including Kane Hodder, Stephen Quadros, and Gene LeBell, of intentionally hitting stuntmen during scenes. Additionally, while serving as stunt coordinator for Out for Justice, LeBell allegedly got into an on-set altercation with Seagal over his mistreatment of some of the film's stunt performers. After the actor claimed that, due to his aikido training, he was "immune" to being choked unconscious, LeBell offered Seagal the opportunity to prove it. LeBell is said to have placed his arms around Seagal's neck, and once Seagal said "go", proceeded to choke him unconscious, with Seagal losing control of his bowels. Seagal bodyguard and stuntman Steven Lambert stated he was present and said that a confrontation did happen, during which Seagal elbowed LeBell before he could lock the hold on Seagal, after which LeBell flipped Seagal.

Lost a scuffle to avoid getting choked, gets choked anyway. Shit self in the process. Classic Seagal.

Lol imagine thinking that aikido training means your brain doesn't need oxygen.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard 13 points 7 hours ago

Well, I would have guessed that less brain needs less oxygen, but I'm clearly wrong.

A movie producer I worked with in my time in the industry had done a movie with Segal in which Segal was to shoot a gun. Segal said he would only use a very specifically modified AR15. The production purchased the AR with all of the upgrades Segal requested. Segal fired it one time, said it was too loud and had too much kickback and he wanted to use a prop instead.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 hours ago (10 children)

He said an AR-15 had too much recoil? Is he made of tissue paper, or did they mod it to fire artillery shells? Christ, one of the demos they did for us at our first live fire in basic training was having one of our fellow soldiers hold an M-16 stock UP TO HIS NUTS and fire it downrange to show just how little recoil they had. I'm not kidding, I personally witnessed this. I have also put at least 20,000 rounds through M-16's and AR-15's in my life. They don't kick. Seagal is a pussy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I was trained with the H&K G3 with a slide stock. It's 7.62 and when I tried a 5.56 for the first time (a Swedish AK-5)I literally had to check to see if it did indeed shoot. There was no recoil from the 5.56. Never tried a M-16 apart from checking out the M-4 that the Rangers my squad was seconded to had (I was Norwegian Combat Engineer), no way that can kick to much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 54 minutes ago

M-4 / M-16 same difference. Unless it's chambered in something other than 5.56 they all shoot the same. And yeah, it's nothing like 7.62. As you are aware... you KNOW it when you're firing 7.62!

Do you know what happened to the gun afterwards?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

He ate it, from what it looks like.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

The producer has it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

It's truly a gem of a story. I can only hope Seagal thinks of it frequently, and has yet to accept himself and heal.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

On the other hand, when Seagal was asked about the incident, he directly denied the allegations, calling LeBell a "sick, pathological scumbag liar", and offered the name of a witness who could prove LeBell had fabricated the entire story. The claim garnered a heated response from LeBell's trainee Ronda Rousey, who said that Seagal was the one lying, and declared "If [Seagal] says anything bad about Gene to my face, I'd make him crap his pants a second time."

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago

I love this. If it were a lie, I'm certain he'd sue them for defamation. Honestly, they probably should have sued him for calling them liars. Make him go to court over it and get it all documented. That would be the funniest thing to happen.

Based on the picture it looks like he vowed to never take another shit for the rest of his life.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I'm just using your story as an excuse to promote Bobby Fingers. Check out a diorama on the confrontation.

He looks like that old fat fuck that washes up at a camping trip who everyone knows and no one wanted them there.

Good to know that I, too, have the body of an action movie star.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

"Star," like that chair, is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

This is my sign that I should get on my rowing machine

Update: I did 20 minutes of moderate exercise today!

People these days just don't appreciate a strong and healthy frame when they see one.

You may not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like.

I'm surprised the NKs haven't cannibalized him out of desperation yet

[–] [email protected] 25 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

They tried, but he Akidoed them all to death by using their own energy against them and eating them first.
