Remember it, I still can't go out and rake my leaves without cracking up thinking about it.

Thinking of a few things my Dad did to deal with some of the hooligans we had out in our neck of the woods, I have a feeling Bwana and him would get along just fine.

I'm not too bright about that. Got pulled over in Texas in Dec for doing 15 over. For some reason the guy let me off with a warning. As soon as I got back on the highway, I was going 80.

It's been over 2 years since I've gotten a ticket, which is probably a record (knocking on wood as I post). I never go faster than 10 over anymore, unless I'm in faster traffic - which is basically anytime I drive on the interstates up here. That seems to be working so far.

Almost all of my tickets have come out in the middle of nowhere. If there are no other cars around, I carefully watch my speed now.

If I'm driving on a road designed for high speeds, in a car designed to travel at high speeds, and there's light to no traffic and conditions are good, and I get a ticket, I see it for what it is - getting robbed by someone who carries a gun.

Apparently I was supposed to let the guy hit me.

I was going to make up a story about how i got pulled over going 15 over and i was drunk and I blew a .07 and the cop let me go on my way. My intentions were going to be for you to say "Thanks asshole, how the hell does that help me feel better" Then after i got done typing it i decided to delete it because sure as shit if i post that and somehow you feel pissed i will get lit up by the white and blacks this weekend

I have bullshited my way out of a few as well, or had someone I knew pull me over.

I've had my Escort since '81 and have gotten one ticket in that time. And yes, he was "pulling the trigger" on his unit. He said "we must have seen each other at the same time" since I jammed on the brakes as soon as the Escort went off.

I think I've gotten five warnings. They are few and far between.

Once I got nailed in Franklin Park (Chicago suburb near O'Hare). I was already on supervision for a previous ticket, and a conviction for the second one would have meant both went on my record. The cop was a complete douche, too.

Anyway, I took one of the attorneys from my office to court. That day, I actually had real luck - the judge was one of my lawyer's golfing buddies. I didn't even need to approach the bench - CASE DISMISSED.

PBJ

The prick of a cop was in the courtroom and realized what happened. Oh was he was pissed! And he got even more pissed as I subtely flipped him off on the way out of the courtroom. :D

Needless to say, I didn't drive through Franklin Park for a while.....

Yeah, I bought one of those Rocky Mountain Radar jammers for $500 several years ago. It worked great for a long time and then I got busted driving Bob Dole's car in Arkansas. I was doing some crazy speed over 90, but if I had been caught 3 minutes prior to that, I was over 110. Heh. I stopped using it after that and bought an Escort.

Cops have developed countermeasures for the radar detector. It started when they lowered the speed limit from 70 to 55. They really got creative as they could (and did) ticket you at 61. I even knew one of them that would back his car up into a drainage culvert along a super 2 road. He'd radar you just as you passed him and you had no way to see him or have your radar detector to go off as he had it aimed the other way.

I had a 57 in a 35 about two years ago. I don't know what it was going to end up costing me, but the lawyer got it off me for about $200. I ended up getting fined for 'defective equipment'.

I figured there were several of you guys that did. I think that's what started the whole thing, too. Either that or the computer. He decided there was easy money to be made out here....

I still like to think that's what he used my money for. Doesn't make me feel like such a sap.

I hope it didn't go towards beer and cigarettes.

[Skip Towne]

The dude might want to try getting a fuggin job... OR TWO, rather than scamming people.
Oh, he always had a job or two, really. He once posted a pic of himself wearing a Wal-Mart smock. Somebody gave him grief over that. And he drove school buses. Nothing very substantial but he did work little pissy jobs.

[Eleazar]

I got suckered on that Christmas-for-the-kiddies thing. Thought I was doing something good. His story really hit home with me because of a really shitty Christmas I had as a kid after my stepdad lost his job - all my parents could afford to get me was a bunch of mismatched garage sale crap, and they knew that I knew it.

Damn that's terrible.

So, Skip goes to the social security office to apply for Social Security.

The woman behind the counter asks him for his license so she can check his age, but he realizes he left his wallet at home. So Skip says, "I'll have to get it and come back later."

The woman says, "Unbutton your shirt." So he opens his shirt revealing curly silver hair. She says, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me" and she processed his Social Security application.

So Skip says to her, "I should have dropped my pants, then you could have given me disability too."

I didn't wanna see the lying sack of shit in person again. I just wrote the cash off and moved on w/ a lesson learned.

That's exatly where I'm at with old JOhnny boy. It's not like he hasn't had time to pay me back. For Christs sake, I even sent him and envelope with another envelope in it with a stamp on it with my address and a letter asking him to pay some of the money back. I didn't give a chit if he paid back $5 a month, but to hit the road and leave me high and dry was just shitty. :shake: I was really temped to take a little road trip and go collect it, but after thinking about it and talking it over with my wife, I decided to write it off as experience gained. I thought he was a good guy and was surprised to find out that he turned out to be nothing more than a low test con artist.

[Mosbonian]

No. He was one of the longtime members - had known him since '97 over at the Star, too. He knew several ChiefsPlanet members on a personal level and as far as I know, he wasn't a criminal.

But, he had a special needs teenager and his "career" wasn't worth a shit, so I guess he did all this stuff out of desperation.

I don't want to kick a guy when he is down, but having a "special needs" child is no reason to do anything like that....in fact it's even the best reason to be MORE responsible.

When I was working at a job in Blue Springs, the company I worked for asked me to be the company representative to the local Salvation Army Advisory Board....it was probably one of the most rewarding volunteer jobs I ever did.....but also one of the most enlightening about how low some people will go to scam honest charities.

One particular situation had to do with the mother of one of the victims of the guy who was killing prostitutes on Independence Avenue a few years back.....she really tried a serious scam. Now, I tend to be very careful about where I hepl out....I let the professionals who can smell out a rat guide me in my giving.

but if you have money problems WHY just up and ask someone to tape the chiefs games for you ... talking about "I'll pay you for the trouble etc"

he even wanted to "pay extra" and have them shipped Overnight, so he could watch them the same weekend.


if you are having money problems special delivery Chiefs tapes are a pretty frivolous item if you are really being sincere.


he could of even stopped after the first week ... or 2nd or 3rd or ....

I guess the thing that really bothers me the most about the talk tonight is, I remember a year ago, Christmas was pretty tough for us. I had been out of pastoring for a couple on months and we were scraping - shoot, I was on dial up. Didn't feel like I could help out but did help relay JOhn's addy to some people that wanted to help - he said he felt awkward about it and I was wanting to help however I could. With the way things are starting to look, I actualy had a hand in what appears to have been a deception. I see lots of cases and usually can tell when they are legit, I sure felt like his situation was at the time. For those that I forwarded and address to, if you feel decieved, I apologize.

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for his actions especially since he cared enough to send one of you a Xmas card.

You guys sure do know when to kick someone when they're down. He came to you guys in confidence and even though you may have thrown the bank at him, your contributions should have been contributions that you shouldn't have expected back.

If he's hard on his luck what makes you guys think that he's gonna be that one in a million miracle that's gonna suddenly repay all of you?

He's probably embarrassed about it and self humilated at the same time that he even had to "beg" or accept gifts and then you guys pile on him and kick him while he's down.

I didn't even know about the "free PC" or the borrowing money to make a car payment bit until recently.

Apparently he borrowed $$, promised to pay it back, and then didn't. If he ran into some hard luck and couldn't pay it back, he could at least have called the lender and explained this.

If I would have gave someone money to buy their kids Christmas presents, I would not have expected nor accepted it back. But I understand he "borrowed" money from a member to make a car payment with the understanding of paying it back, then disapeared without explanition and still lurks from time to time.

Fug that.

Christmas gifts for kids are a different story all together.

I had JOhn's back, even when some others didn't.
He begged money privately from another seasoned poster, who had spent time in person with him to get him out of a pickle, and broke it off in his butt for a thank you.

He's probably embarrassed about it and self humilated at the same time that he even had to "beg" or accept gifts and then you guys pile on him and kick him while he's down.

Kick someone when they are down?

I don't know that anyone who contributed for Christmas wanted anything in return, except the one thing we all do no matter who we are....we like to believe that what we did was for a good cause.

No one but JOhn knows what's in his heart or why he did what he did...but, embarassed or humiliated you gotta be man. I've had to swallow my pride many times in my life....and quite frankly become a better man for it. JOhn should be doing the same thing.

Talisman getting popped at work was a big hit to the Planet.
Huh? I had no idea.

That stinks. I always liked him...

[wutamess]

Fug that.

Christmas gifts for kids are a different story all together.

I had JOhn's back, even when some others didn't.
He begged money privately from another seasoned poster, who had spent time in person with him to get him out of a pickle, and broke it off in his butt for a thank you.

I have Zero respect for that.

I didn't know about the borrowing of car payment $.
That's different.

That was shitty of JOhn, but why are so many other people pissed at him?

Not fighting for the cause... just trying to understand.

wutamess........I'm in a pickle. I need a new snowblower because I can't dig my dogsled out of the drifts here to get my wife to the hospital.

Can I borrow $500? I'll pay it back.......promise.

anyone who purposely rips off or takes advantage of a "friend", is no friend of mine.

Its one thing to have problems and not be able to hold up.....but a man with a pair lays his cards on the table to that friend.

There's no excuse for JOhn but I guess the point I'm trying to make is that is business between Greg & JOhn. I always though that JOhn was a well liked guy he came over here from the old K.C. board.

Is anyone keeping score at home? Is JOhn the only person wutamess has asked about that is actually gone?

I'm not necessarily "pissed off" wutamess.

Its more of an honor code with me. If someone in my life gets ripped off, scammed, fooked over whatever.........the offender goes on my "list of people who won't be fooking Iowanian over"


A handshake or my word is as good as a signed contract from me. I expect the same from others. Its too bad that its not.

Tell me about it. I had something like this happen to me once. A friend wasn't going to make their rent, so I lent them some cash to get by, and told them to get it back to me whenever they could. It was convieniently forgotten about, but not by me. It's not even so much that they ****ed me over, it's that they actually thought I was stupid enough to think I wouldn't notice that they never paid me back a sizable sum of money.

Lesson learned I guess. To this day, there are very few people that I would ever trust enough to lend money too.

[Iowanian]

I'd bring that issue up, let them know I expect to be payed back, even if its $10 a week.........or they'd come out for work and find their car up on blocks and a love note on the window.

John was a well liked guy. I feel strongly about a lot of you guys on this this board, even you Roger. I've "known" you all for almost a decade online. You're my friends. If somebody rips you off, I got your back. If somebody ripped JOhn off, I'd have his back. But all that bullshit about "restoring faith in humanity", "quit smoking so the kids can have christmas", "my mom's sick" - fug that shit. He scammed us* (*me not included in "us") and I don't take that lightly. In the future, consider any charitable action endorsed by me to be legit. If I'm not endorsing it, I have a bad feeling. You should, too.

[TheNextStep]

I gotta agree with Iowanian. JOhn's scam didn't affect me at all... but the fact that he has the type of character that he either deliberately lied and scammed somebody who trusted him or borrowed money and failed to pay it back without any word to the person he owed shows that he's a piece of sh*t.

I remember I had a friend that came to me one day needing $400. His car broke down and he didn't have the money to get it fixed. When I gave him the money, I said, "hey, pay me back when you can" and he replied, "I get paid twice a month and you'll be getting a hundred bucks every payday." If he had come back and given me $20 a payday, I'd have been fine with it... but the man was true to his word. Every payday, I got a hundred. It meant a lot to me because that's exactly what he told me he was going to do. It spoke to his character. Years later, we're still best friends. I was best man at his wedding, he was best man at mine.

A few years after that, there was this girl that I was friends with who was going through a divorce. She came to find out that her husband had (unbeknownst to her) taken out one of those "title loans" at some unGodly rate of interest. She owed over $1600. She talked to them and they agreed to halve the amount amount if she paid by a certain date. She didn't have it, so I gave it to her. She paid me back in 3 months. I'm now married to her.

It isn't about whether or not we individually got scammed - it is what JOhn's actions say about his character. His actions, frankly, say that he's a piece of sh** and should not be welcomed by those who value character, honesty, and integrity.

I didn't know all of this stuff about JOhn until today... and now I'm pissed about it, even though I didn't lose a dime to the f***er.

I think her and Skip got married in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. She's been pretty busy since then.

It's mine and a few others opinion that by what he wrote on his sign off a few months ago that he may be doing some time. :(

Really. I had just assumed his old lady put the screws to him about spending too much time here.

That's what I figure. I don't think he did time because somebody was visiting from his account for a couple months after he said goodbye.
