Rick Olney--Fibber or Mega-Giganta-Fibber?

[Papergirl]

Fuck you, Bev!
Awww, now I know I'm moving up your list, Dick! Should I start shaking in absolute terror now? Or can it wait til after I've slept?

~Bev

[Samuel Catalino]

My messes are my business and none of yours ... you lil gossip mongering dipshit. I can't believe that I ever defended you on Commiecon. And then bothering to get to be your friend. You're a piece of shit, Sam!
I'm done with you. Don't ever approach me again, and you'd be wise to not say too much or I'll piss on yoyr gave. Wesaael

You know I don't gossip, Rick. You talk about me, and I shall respond in kind.

If you recall, I took up for you at the other board. I was your friend until you played the soap opera game with me. And I won't go into all of things I did for you as well.

As I said earlier, I would not approach you and I would not want you to approach me.

I doubt you could hit the mark on anyone's "gave."

[kmeyers]

"Wiltupper" sounds like something you stick on your penis to avoid the clap.
Just another asshole come to try and find a life. Fuck youn and goos night. pukee.

GENIUS!!!!

personally I'm terrified... I mean the land of Make Believe Marines are trained in advanced donut eating by King Friday himself!

[Linkara]

Ooh! Ooh! Team-up of Made-Up Marines and the Mute Marine!

Remember that? *Sings the little diddy from Saturday Night Live.*

I don't know, Bev. I seem to have made the top five and coming like a bullet.

I might have to ask for Matt and your's protection.

[Sarah Beach]

Pardon me for replying to you, Super, but I don't want to backtrack and I must have missed this in Olney the Lonely's initial post.

Since Paul Smith isn't participating in the thread or listed on the Unscrewed donation list as yet, I have to assume that he was referring to me.

Two things:

1) I'm a bit at a loss how "Storrie" can be mistyped as (or mistaken for) "Smith" (though perhaps I shouldn't be given how poor OtL's typing skills have proven).

2) I'm not a 'big' name in the industry. I'll lay claim to being a 'name' in the industry, if by 'name' one means "writer who has produced work, had it published and read and enjoyed by a number of folks." Which does, at least, give me a leg up on Mr. Olney.

PDS

Paul, he really did mean Paul Smith. Because he's been lurking around the Unscrewed! site. Paul Smith has contributed a 2 page item to be included in the anthology. It's not in reference to the auction.

Just for the sake of accuracy. (Yeah, and I'm still 10 pages behind the end of the thread as of this moment. Hey ho.)

[Danny Donovan]

Thats great news! Never have I been so pleased to be wrong.

Paul Smith is an amazing artist and, it appears, a generous and thoughtful guy.

Now I'm just confused at why Paul Smith would need quotes around 'big' when being described as a big name in the industry!

PDS

Same reason Gail needs qoutes around her name. No reason at all. lol.

Yeah that is a pleasant thing to be wrong about PDS! Smith followed Cockrum on X-MEN, very few things bigger than that.

Paul is over on the US! message boards, he's posted a few times, and has a really cool story idea I personally can't wait to see it finished.

[Papergirl]

That's what happens when I start posting before catching up on all the happenings. I've been in New York at the Con and I'm playing a bit of catch up.

Still, I take refuge in the fact that with Olney's typing (and, it seems, thinking) skills, it wasn't a completely unreasonable mistake for me to make.

[willtupper]

Well, maybe that's what "Wiltupper" sounds like to you, Rick.

What "Will Tupper" sounds like, though, is the name of a guy who writes Ninja Turtle stories for the Ninja Turtle comic books, gets them published, and has stuff on sale in the comic shops you're probably not allowed in anymore right this very moment.

He also writes for magazines and newspapers, and has had a real character named after him in a NYT-bestseller (Diary, by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk).

He's younger than you, happier than you, and just plain pities you.

Oh. And I'm sure you've heard of comic book legend William Messner-Loebs? Yeah, well he's both Will Tupper's friend and mentor (we don't live too far from one another).

I told him what you've done, and all that's gone on here, last time he and I got together. And guess what, Rick?

He thinks you suck as well.

"Wiltupper" sounds like something you stick on your penis to avoid the clap.

[Sarah Beach]

Danny, don't over tax yourself. I know its difficult to be so inspiring and *ahem* professional as Rothe, but try a little harder, wouldja.

Where's that freak Jim Richey? Another crying whiney bastard with talent that simply needs to get his ass in gear.

Where's Jim? Gee, I don't know. Possibly actually something connected with his real life. What? You expect everyone in the world to be here with you for as long as you stay up into the night posting your garbage?

[Crowley]

I actually feel bad for Rick... all he had to do was say two words "I'm sorry."
And then follow through with his I'm sorry... and kept his word...

you know... acted honorably like real Marines do.

[OzBat!]

I clearly need to add "Drunken Bile and crap" to the checklist. Heck with it, let's go for a total upgrade...1. Rick comes back, and while actively dodging giving concrete answers, at least is fairly civil.

2. As the night wears on, more and more facts are laid out by his opposition, and he gets more desperate. The legal threats come thicker and faster. The conspiracy accusations are brought out again. Accusations of betrayal, libel, slander, forgery, and hacking his computer and email accounts all resurface.

3. Somebody asks one of the golden questions:
"Have you paid anyone yet?"
"Have you been served with a lawsuit yet?"
"Had another meltdown lately?"
The co-conspirators then ups the ante by producing physical proof. A scanned letter, or an actual name and contact number, link to a site with either previous contrary Olney claims or with legal info directly refuting him.

4. Rick devolves into sexual innuendo, homophobia, bigotry, racism, crude manly posturing and insults faster than sugar dissolving into water, a favourite when we get to this portion of the evening's entertainment, even if the person to whom he's replying had said nothing personally insulting whatsoever.

5. After more insults and legal threats, the serious drinking begins. AA probably own his computer by now. The smut attack degenerates to the point where nobody can recognise a coherent sentence amongst the expletives. Rick eventually vanishes again, after a promise that he's not coming back. Possibly only till the next night or two, when he'll return with a thinly veiled apology (or not), and start again at point 1. Sometimes it'll be for longer. Guaranteed he WILL be back however.And tonight ladies and germs, we achieved ALL OF THE ABOVE!! If you weren't here, too bad, so sad! We saved you a donut!

[MacQuarrie]

Oh. And I'm sure you've heard of comic book legend William Messner-Loebs? Yeah, well he's both Will Tupper's friend and mentor (we don't live too far from one another).

I told him what you've done, and all that's gone on here, last time he and I got together. And guess what, Rick?

He thinks you suck as well.

Any chance of getting him to do something for Unscrewed?

[Crowley]

I bet Rick has started having fits and panic attacks over this whole thing... followed by days of uncontrollable sobbing.

Neat Will! Is it Mirage or is it DWP?

I would love to do work on TMNT someday. I am psyched about the new movie. :)

[Crowley]

My apologies to everyone but Rick for postwhoring the animated gifs... it really got under his skin perfectly...

It's funny... for a guy who does such a great job humiliating himself... he can't stand it when we do it...

[willtupper]

Someone who's a far better entrepreneur than I could probably make a mint off of making some "Rick Olney Bingo" cards.

Drunken ramblings?

Cowardly Hypocritical Childish Insults?

INVISIBLE LAWYER (that'd, like, be the "free" space at the center)

Minicon?

ORCA?

BINGO!

And then you'd win a non-existant Tightlip Publication!

[Darediva]

The lineup of female military personnel ready to kick your bigotted racist sexist decrepid ass starts on the left.

Actually, I was thinking of doing a musical. You know, kind of like "Comic Book: The movie," but a musical and it revolves around a convention where a group of freelance artists have been conned into coming there on the promise of payment...

[Sarah Beach]

Beach, I really don't give a fuck anymore. That much should be obvious to a smart woman, such as yourself.

Does this mean you're going to stop with the empty threats of suing for libel and defamation? I mean, that'd be a nice change.

peanut.

As man who comes from a family with history of heart disease... i really should be giggling like a five year old when I read this...

but I am...

Sob, Ricky, sob... it will be okay until the "bad man" comes and takes away your house.

[the4thpip]

Yes Rick Ebay wants monies owed for women's lingerie in your size and the anal lube you ordered in bulk quantity.

If re-enacting "Fisting Firemen in Drag" is wrong, I don't want to be right.

[Scott Shaw!]

I'll be at WonderCon, spreading the word about Tightlip Entertainment, UNSCREWED! and Rick Olney. If you're gonna be there too, please drop by Table D9 and we'll compare notes on everyone's favorite sociopath and his inevitable humiliation.

Aloha,

Scott!

[willtupper]

That's PERFECT. Could it be like Rent?

"Fifteen thousand... two-hundred... seventy-five posts
That's how we measure... how many beers
In his ramblings... and mumblings... and dumb things that he'll say
In promises... no payments... and lame NDAs
Fifteen thousand... two-hundred... seventy-five posts
That's how we measure... measure and leer."

Something like that, maybe? Please? It'd be SO cool! :D

Do you have Tony's "warning"? If not I could send you a link or e-mail it to you, you could hand it out as a flyer. ;) lol. Or use them as sketch paper!

It's not his house. He owns no property except the Van of Justice. Which he will soon be living in. Down by the river.

[Scott Shaw!]

Sorry, Danny, I've been insanely busy lately with CAPTAIN CARROT AND THE FINAL ARC and other stuff, so I haven't been able to keep up with this Worm Oroboros of a thread.

Please send me anything that works as a handout and might help convince fellow pros that Olney is a menace and that his victims need our support and help, especially regarding contributions to UNSCREWED!

Aloha,

Scott!

[Cam63]

You don't ever want to approach me in person gain, weasel fuck. That should be crystal clear for you.

Only if he's holding a sturdy ten foot pole and wearing a HazMat suit.

[Flamebird]

Wait. So they wanted to talk to me about information that they should have already on file ... but they sent a letter to you? I got no letter. No telephone calls. St Judes is very specific about what they require and they work closely with those events that they allow useage of their name and materials. Sorry, but I think you're full of bullshit.

Gods above and below, his town must have the WORST mail carriers EVER!

All of the mail to and from him seems to vanish faster than his invisible lawyer.

[OzBat!]

Scientists should be checking the place out right down to the quantum level. They'll crack the secrets of true invisibility, you mark my words!

[willtupper]

It's because Rick has one of those fly-by-night invisible attorneys.

His dayjob is to be the invisible mailman! :D

All of the mail to and from him seems to vanish faster than his invisible lawyer.

[Flamebird]

Easy... no tip for your sister next time around. :p

Implying that someone's sister is a hooker? what class.


Wonder if his wife knows he's on the "DL".

[Cam63]

I think Rick may've actually kidnapped the mailman and is currently trying to brainwash him into representing him in court.

[Danny Donovan]

Implying that someone's sister is a hooker? what class.

The thing is, he implies someone's sister is a hooker, then turns around and says he's taking money for sexual favors from said sister.

How drunk/stoned/mentally defective would she have to be ?

[Sarah Beach]

Who are you fuckin' kidding. Dennis told me how you were acting and what you said aat Pittsburgh last year. What a little weasel you are. He's a real friend. You're just an asshole. A phoney lil asshole.

WEell, I'm drunk enough now to go to bed. fuck all you assholes!

Well... that explains a lot! Doesn't excuse it, but explains it.

But that has to be the stupidest thing yet. Given his health problems, and probably diabetic or borderline diabetic conditions.... to be getting drunk? I'd say a walking heart-attack waiting to happen, but it could be stroke or diabetic shock or any number of collapses.

What an idiot.

[Danny Donovan]

How drunk/stoned/mentally defective would she have to be ?

legally dead.

:p

[Darediva]

Bet he has one helluva hangover tomorrow.

[Reverend Smooth]

I hope someone quoted everything he's said, or saved these pages offline. Holy moly, this shit's funny. My wife heard me howling with laughter all the way in the other room. XD

[Cam63]

Could be worse.

Tomorrow the hangover will have an Olney.

[Danny Donovan]

Could be worse.

Tomorrow the hangover will have an Olney.

LOL!

Cam you are awesome.

How much you wanna bet there will be a "Rick Olney" thing like the "Chuck Norris" lists in a few months time.

[Art Grafunkel]

(My tag-fu is worthless, so I quoted Rick this way)

You're a piece of shit, Sam!

Don't ever approach me again, and you'd be wise to not say too much or I'll piss on yoyr gave. Wesaael

fuck you Rothe.

Fuck you, Bev!

you're an asshole, MaQuarie.

Fuck youn and goos night. pukee.

See? That's what I meant with "tedious".

He'll never take legal action himself, and if others do, there's no chance he'll win. Hell, even if a plane crashes into the court room and kills everyone but him, and he wins ... because, yeah, that's what would happen if a plane crashes in a court room and kills everyone but the defendant :rolleyes: ... he'll STILL be "That Rick Olney Guy", and no one in their right mind would want to work with him.

He's slowly losing it. So make it fast and peacefull, before this whole thread (1000+ PAGES???) turns into a parody of itself.

Fast and peacefull.

But mainly fast, please.

And note that: no I'm not anglo-american, no I don't use a spellchecker... I have just enough knowledge of the english language to make sense... unlike some writer-editor-publisher-mighty-mini-con-artists. Yaaaay! :D

[OzBat!]

He's slowly losing it. So make it fast and peacefull, before this whole thread (1000+ PAGES???) turns into a parody of itself.Oh, this thread jumped that particular shark a lonnnnnnng time ago!

[d newton]

Dennis told me how you were acting and what you said aat Pittsburgh last year.
I'm looking for an "aat". :p

[Sarah Beach]

Man! Finally caught up and I've wasted far too much of the day on this shit. But you know, one has to be attentive for occasions like the use of one's surname as an epithet (yeah, don't think I didn't notice you meant it for the "bitch" sound, ijit).

Given how stupidly he indulged in the insults early in the day, I'd guess that he was drinking all day long! Must have been home alone, and absolutely terrified of some "real world" events that either just happened or are about to happen. (Like real court actions?) Amazing.

And to think I was saying only a day or so ago that it had gotten so quiet I almost missed his ranting for the entertainment value. I apologize soooooo much to you all for that "wish". The reality was appalling! Really!

I'm off now. See you all tomorrow.

Good night Sarah!

I think we all knew this was coming as the crap hit the fan. He's like a wounded dog. Anytime he's backed in a corner he foams at the mouth and makes a lot of noise hoping to scare off whatever looms to finish it off.

It was appalling, and embarassing.

I think it was because Myspace was down for maintenance today.

[OzBat!]

Yeah, I'm inclined to think it was the home alone booze fest that made him think it was a good idea to fire up teh internets and start posting again.

[JamesRitcheyIII]

Where's that freak Jim Richey? Another crying whiney bastard with talent that simply needs to get his ass in gear.

Oh, no, you di-n't...you fucking whiny Bitch!

First of all, you can say whatever fucking horseshit that's getting up your 'hard on' for internet combat, about D. Dilton, but he's apparently good enough to be published by several different productive publishers, without having to resort to self-publishing (ironic--Danny could've made you a fucking mint as a promoter, if you had any common sense or follow-though). Secondly, your backhanded compliment about my talent (at various times--again with the follow-through and i'll add any vision whatsoever--a lot of us here could've made you a ton of fucking money) would be a wee bit more credible if you weren't insulting people left and right that are at least in my range of creative ability, and from all indications, WAAAY the fuck out of your league, Monster Squad. Tertiary, You--YOU, motherfucker, fucked up my best and only chance to write and draw comics the way I want to do them, DELIBERATELY, with a productive publisher, after I'd been going through a series of gradually worsening attacks of what I later found out to be Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis turning to Secondary Progressive--masked by a certain head injury, but it seems I've had symptoms my whole fucking life. Copaxine is doing the trick, I've put on weight (and can bench press it). For the first time in 20 years, I'm not in constant physical pain. I thought that was just called being alive. I make a living doing freelance art, again. For people who pay. Money. You should try it. People will speak glowingly of you, instead of going on righteous, internet vendettas against everything you stand for.


Here's some Bastardly Whining for you--Why don't you pay the creators you owe money to, instead of bizarrely attempting to intimidate your betters (and 'smarters'--that would be everybody here) into shutting up about what a worthless, unprofessional, talentless, delusional, emotionally-stunted liar and cheat you both factually and truthfully are? Are you really that simple, besides being sociopathic? You'd better pray you never see the inside of a courtroom with anyone here, you blustering moron. To prove libel or defamation, you have to prove that the other person is lying. In that, you are justifiably and righteously fucked.

Anyhow, I don't know if a custom-made, blow-up doll of Jim Shooter that you might or might not keep in The Van of Justice is a lawyer--or his co-council, blow-up Mark Alessi--no matter how much you talk to them--and I get the feeling the Jim Shooter simulacrum isn't getting the whole story, given your penchant for giving only information to reinforce what you wish people to think of you, rather than the facts.

[the4thpip]

The funny thing is, I thought I'd seen the meltdown when I went to bed last night. I had no idea a bigger one was still to come!

[Danny Donovan]

Aw Jim you showed up!

Shame you came in as he fell into his drunken slumber.

I think he would have had a lot of fun getting verbally smacked by you. Seems to be what he was after.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words.

[Papergirl]

I hope someone quoted everything he's said, or saved these pages offline. Holy moly, this shit's funny. My wife heard me howling with laughter all the way in the other room. XD
Every. Last. Bit.

So, even if he comes back and tries to wipe things out again, he's screwed. We got it ALL, baby! :D

~Bev

[Danny Donovan]

Oh, and Jim, if you don't feel like going through eleventy billion pages of stuff here's a hitlist of what you missed.

All dudes that don't side with Rick are gay.

All mexicans and anyone with a bit of pigment on their skin are drains on society and should learn to swim because they're going to be bounced out of the country...

(gee, I wonder what Steve would think of that?)

Bev and Sarah are part of a cabal of evil women that want to see patriotic men imprisoned for the good of their communist matriarchy (ok now I'm making things up)

hmmmm..

And Rick is challenging Matt and Mac to a street fight. I would think it's for seperate dates and not a handicap match. (well 2 on one... someone else can make a handicap joke)

And there's a lot of other malarky.

[TonyIsabella]

Can someone post the link to Tony's warning so I can put it on The IF site.

I'm about 20 pages away from the end of this thread - took the night off to watch some TV with my wife and sleep - so someone probably responded to this already. But, just in case, here's what I posted:

A message to all my friends and readers...

If you are approached by an individual named Rick Olney or a representive
of this man, if you are approached by Olney or anyone else representing
entities known as The Mighty Mini-Con, TightLip Entertainment, or ORCA, I
strongly urge you to run in the other direction. You can find more details
here:

http://www.unscrewedcomic.com/

Please, if you trust me, do not attempt to do business with Olney. In
fact, please pass along this warning to any comics professionals, aspiring
comics professionals, retailers, exhibitors, media guests, and fans you know.

Olney is not someone you want to do business with.

I'd hoped not to involve myself in this in such a public manner, but, with
Olney again advertising a convention and claiming that he is still planning
to publish comic books, the greater good demands I speak out.

Check out the website.

Tony Isabella

Anyone who wishes to repost this warning has my permission to do so. My goal, as always, is to prevent the unaware from doing business with Olney.

P.S. I probably won't be able to keep up with this thread today as I have to do some of that writing stuff that I get paid for. I'll check in now and again to read a few pages, but that's all I can manage today. But, if something demands my attention - and that would exclude anything Olney says - just e-mail me and I'll get on it.

[Samuel Catalino]

Simple. It's in Pasadena. It's a great big two-story, five bedroom house in a neighborhood where most of the houses are smaller. The real estate market went nuts here for about three years. I bought it for $193,000 in 2000 and it damn near quadrupled in value. The new plumbing, electrical, paint, bathrooms and kitchen renovation didn't hurt.

Wow, that is impressive. Thanks for letting me know.

[JamesRitcheyIII]

Yum. Communist Matriarchs! With the Jack-Boots...How'd you know about that dream, Donovan???

Well, I'm exactly a foot taller, the same weight (not fat--any more), have at least as much martial arts training as Dick claims to have, and could easily kick a fat little sexist, racist, Homophobe, Fascist, deadbeat douchebag with anger and sanity issues ('Nuff Said) right in the head with no moral dilemma--or frankly, any real effort.

If he'll send a self-addressed, sealed envelope, await my confirmation, sign a bizarrely Dadaist NDA(?) saying he won't whine to the cops like the little bitch he is, drive to Minnesota, recite the Lord's Prayer in Aramaic, then come down to my house in Douglasville, GA, whistling 'Dixie', I would gladly do it for him.

[TonyIsabella]

Bob is busy with writing projects, a day job that provides a valuable service to the community and a family. He probably doesn't have a great deal of time or inclination for giving out pro bono advice to those who have done nothing to deserve it. Like yourself.

And, as you are not a personal friend or even acquaintance of his, you should probably show a little respect and refer to him as Mr. Ingersoll.

Of course, you should do a lot of things you don't do.

PDS

The last thing I or anyone else needs to do is defend Bob Ingersoll, who is, to put it simply, one of the finest people I know. I would never bother him with Olney's meaningless threats, much less my personal legal business.

Especially since this isn't the first time I've been sued or threatened with a lawsuit.

Especially since I've never lost a lawsuit.

Tony

[Flamebird]

Fuck you, Samuel Catalino. I'm gonna get your pics scanned and uploaded so everyone can see what a fucking messy asshole you are.

Just fuck off.

Oh, goody then you can scan those "honorable" discharge papers you were bragging about, as well.



Oh what's that, scanner mysteriously broken again.


Fuck YOU peanut!

[OzBat!]

It's spelled out in a secret code you put into your autograph on all your con sketches. a way of subverting the unconcous will of the masses with golden age super heroes and hot chicks in revealing attire. :p

[Reverend Smooth]

Every. Last. Bit.

So, even if he comes back and tries to wipe things out again, he's screwed. We got it ALL, baby! :D

~BevOh, good. <3

[Samuel Catalino]

Should R.O. scan those pictures (Why would a friend take pictures of every room of the home of someone who opened their home to that friend), I have a few stories to relate about R.O. while he was in the area that are not too flattering.

[Draconomicon]

Danny, I'm sooooo happy that your life has meaning now. I mean, as a kid I had a superball that reminded me of your 'career' ... and I bounced it just once real hard and it bounced clear farther and faster than I could follow it.

Sound familiar?
Wow, 50 pages since yesterday, and Im only halfways through, but this I have to say...

THAT MAKES NO FRIGGIN SENSE!!!!!!

[Draconomicon]

Oh why wait for this to show up. Sorry Matt:

Wow.
That is one of the VERY lowest ...I mean, HOLY SHIT
Feedback score: -2|Positive feedback: 25.0%

25 Percent???

Hm, and the comments there.
And considering those are from 2000 and 2001, yeah, a Judge would very much see Mr. Olney being a habitual con-man and liar.

No way in hell would he win. Not with SO many facts speaking against him.

[Draconomicon]

Just what your sister paid me. :rolleyes:

...now you are a whore...?

[Draconomicon]

Yeah, "Gail" ... when did you become a supermodel? Guapo wants to turn you out. Make him a lil dinero. Maybe give that wooden leg a rest.

Racist...
I am sure the judge will love you.

[JamesRitcheyIII]

Don't let it push some button--you're in good company--half the creative artists I know have 'clutter' issues, to put it politely, and I, for one wouldn't even begin to give a rat's ass. ;)

Dickless's idea of friendship is something akin to The Stanford Prison Experiment, but run by Himmler.

I wouldn't take it too personally--It's kinda like being pissed off at a snake.

[WhiteRose]

So... you guys are going to keep me up to date with all the court dealings, right? Think of your southern continent brothers and sisters!

[Draconomicon]

Hear him, "Gail"?

He wants you in shape first. Then he'll sling a stone. Must be some sort of Mexican slang for frost your cupcakes.

Viva la choucha!

Guapo, does Homeland Security know you're living here? I don't need a passport. I was born here. Si, and you are such a pendejo, pendejos make fun of you too.
Can you swim?

This is the moment where the last ounce of his sanity died SCREAMING.

[Draconomicon]

Shit, if you had finished anything but the first two pages ... you'd be able to afford a higher grade hotel and a hooker.

You know... a prostitute named "Lola" with the adams apple that pokes you in the nut sack.

Oh, and Benny will appreciate your kind comments. He gets paroled soon.

Hm, the only one who admitted to experience with Hookers here is you... so...
speaking OF experience?

And oh my.
A threat....

[Draconomicon]

really?

here's my list from the last year on CBDB:



where's yours?
Dude, you worked on the Drizzt books?
I loved those!

The quality of those books are awesome.
And working for Devils Due <3.
Thanks for producing great work :)

[Draconomicon]

Free country over here. We can quote and post anything we want!

QUOTETH!
I think this here will be especially interesting for people, after all of his protesting about people posting here 'baaad things' about him and them having to be thrown into jail for that.
Slander and libel, and all that jazz.
He gave pretty much permission with this by acknowledging it as a fundamental right for everyone to do.

[Reverend Smooth]

Better save ebay stuff, too, looks like he might try to delete it.

Ahhhh, you are a god among men Calliope. :D

[Alan Lynch]

That was fucking hilarious. I went to bed when he was still online and this thread was sitting at page 950. Jesus, what a loon.

And what does the state of Samuel's house have to do with anything? I mean, most people here have probably lived like a pig at some point. I'm just not sure what relevance it has here.

[Charles RB]

TRUTH:[i]Your 'freedom' remains to be seen. Frankly, I believe that you're slowly being consumed from within. I'd advise you to read THE HOST by Sturgeon. Seriously. Before it is too late.


None of this negates the fact that you claimed you'd have him arrested and yet you haven't. Why should we believe your talk about courts isn't just as empty a threat?

I hardly doubt that you contacted St Judes, but if you did... fine. I have nothing to worry about. I told you that before. I have had no contact from anyone representing (or saying that they're from) St. Judes. I had permission to do what we did back in the year in question.

So you deny the claims that St Judes has tried contacting you and that you just avoided their calls?

And again you are openly refusing to show proof to back up your claims. Why?

Factually, it is far too complicated to even talk about -- even if I could.

People were promised payment and didn't get it, and have been issued legal threats when they complain about it. That is not a complicated issue and there's nothing preventing you, who's accused of non-payment and threats, from giving a reason for why you haven't paid.

Kiss my ass, JT. You broke your NDA

Legally, you still have to pay him. And haven't. And he can easily claim in court that he didn't have to follow his side of the contract since you, by not paying, didn't fulfil yours.

AND -- there is an important facet to much of this that will exonerate and overturn any actions against TightLip Entertainment -- But I'm not at liberty to discuss it.

You're actually going to pay everyone?

Yeah, but not yours. Although I'll gladly meet you at Pittsburgh this spring. We can dance out in the parking lot after dark if you can keep your mouth shut.

Are you genuinely making an offer to have a punch-up with someone? That won't look good if you want to do a civil court case, will it?

"Creators" have yet to be screwed over.

So they have been paid then?

I have NEVER said that talent regarding TOTS wouldn't get paid.

You have said you'll pay those who "broke NDAs" last though. You also haven't actually paid the talent or given a reason for not paying them.

I never actually set my self publishing sights on getting into Previews.

Previews is used by every American direct-market retailer, and is generally considered very useful for selling comics to retailers. You seriously never wanted to be in a position to sell your product to a greater number of retailers? That's a strange business model for your company, isn't it?

"Gail" ... Face it, you're fat... You're no different than Scott Shaw, Tony Isabella and that Busiek twerp.

Wow. Middle-aged writers might be on the pudgy side. What a drokking shocker.

while gaining ground with TightLip Entertainment from the money you'll be paying me. lol

On what grounds? As aforementioned, you can't get her for libel as she has evidence backing up what she says about you - and also, you owe her and others money, so it wouldn't be a good idea to go into court with that hanging over you.

I never have had an ebay account, shit-for-brains.

So why is there an ebay account with your name on it that's been around for a while now? It's been linked to and everything.

[Danny Donovan]

So they have been paid then?.


Actually let me help you out here, "creators" have yet to be screwed" because he will not consider anyone that disagrees with him a "creator". Obviously, as you can see, since anyone who wants him to live up to his obligations is not a creator. No "creators" have been screwed.

Makes perfect sense!

He's only screwed plebes, trolls, and bullies, that have more talent than him.

[Gail Simone]

you're a worthless mouthpiece, MaqUarie. A pussy all talk. You might actually get sued. I'm not sure. But regardless you can kiss my ass.

OH, NOES!

Not a fake threat from his fake lawyer in his fake history of never actually suing anyone in ten years of bullshit!


OH, NO!!! POOR MAC!

Man, the monkey really bit through his leash last night, didn't he?

And if he thought yesterday was bad news, wait'll he gets a load of what's coming.

Racist, homophobe deadbeat.


Gail

[Gail Simone]

Um, hey. I'm still really new here. So can someone help me, please?

I'm working on an analogy.

YABS Message Board : V from "V for Vendetta" : Rick Olney : The British Parliament at the end of the movie.

Is that right? If so, wow.

It's going to be so pretty to see justice be served :D.

Rick's not so bad, if you never have to listen to his freakish stories while he holds you hostage for two hours, or go to one of his incredibly crappy cons, or ever are owed money from him, or ever count on him for anything, or ever work for him, or meet him, or try to read his bizarre mangled English.

Other than that, he's swell.

Gail

[Gail Simone]

"Wiltupper" sounds like something you stick on your penis to avoid the clap.
Just another asshole come to try and find a life. Fuck youn and goos night. pukee.


HAHAHAHAHA!

Man, you can almost feel the spittle running down his filthy t-shirt.

Fuck youn and goos night, pukee may be the best insult in the history of drunken loser deadbeats.

I pronounce it the wittiest jape of the entire salon!

Gail

[Gail Simone]

Well, maybe that's what "Wiltupper" sounds like to you, Rick.

What "Will Tupper" sounds like, though, is the name of a guy who writes Ninja Turtle stories for the Ninja Turtle comic books, gets them published, and has stuff on sale in the comic shops you're probably not allowed in anymore right this very moment.

He also writes for magazines and newspapers, and has had a real character named after him in a NYT-bestseller (Diary, by Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk).

He's younger than you, happier than you, and just plain pities you.

Oh. And I'm sure you've heard of comic book legend William Messner-Loebs? Yeah, well he's both Will Tupper's friend and mentor (we don't live too far from one another).

I told him what you've done, and all that's gone on here, last time he and I got together. And guess what, Rick?

He thinks you suck as well.


Well, he's always welcome HERE. :)

Hey, I know WML has no idea who I am, but that guy is pretty much a GOD of writing to me. I've loved his work since Journey. I'm hoping life is picking up for him--is he doing okay?

Best,

Gail

[Gail Simone]

I'll be at WonderCon, spreading the word about Tightlip Entertainment, UNSCREWED! and Rick Olney. If you're gonna be there too, please drop by Table D9 and we'll compare notes on everyone's favorite sociopath and his inevitable humiliation.

Aloha,

Scott!

Honest to god, I don't even know if word NEEDS to be spread any more. People were joking about Rick CONSTANTLY at NYCC. Google his name and it's nothing but comments about how many people he's cheated. For once, the industry struck back.

GOOD.

Gail

[TomStillwell]

Wow... imagine that.

Well, I'm older than you are. Actually getting to where you can live without needing to work for some other person or company is not something everyone can do. March's Previews must've been pretty hard up to fill space, huh?
I never actually set my self publishing sights on getting into Previews. Too much cowtoe and sucking up to get there. Although you being a small press guy, I can understand why you're happy and proud. Remember though, don't piss on your own shoes.

Yep, you are older. Too bad that in the twenty years you have on me you've accomplished little other than becoming a failure in every aspect of your life.

Needing to work is what people do when they pay their debts. I guess not paying for anything makes it easier to be unemployed.

It's only an accomplishment to brag about when you are debt free, all your bills are covered, and someone else in the house doesn't need to pay for your lifestyle.

Otherwise, putting down a working man while you sit unemployed and in debt just makes you look like the true deadbeat loser you are.

How exactly did you plan to distribute TOTS? From the back of the Van of Justice? Again, you show how little you actually know about business. Your cons make no money and you can't even manage to publish one book with becoming involved in a financial quagmire.

The interesting thing is, back in this very thread you said you checked with Diamond about distribution and that your books met their standards. Why did you do that if you never wanted have Diamond distribute for you? Those statements contradict.

It's hard to keep the lies straight when you tell so many.

So tell me again, Rick...how many comics have you sold from TLE? You keep putting down small press yet these are the folks that manage to publish and sell comics, something you are too incompetant to do.

If by some amazing stroke of luck you actual publish a book, well then you might have a place to even mention the work of others. Until then you're just, at best a wannabe, and at worst an amazing failure as a publisher.

[Gail Simone]

Oh, no, you di-n't...you fucking whiny Bitch!

First of all, you can say whatever fucking horseshit that's getting up your 'hard on' for internet combat, about D. Dilton, but he's apparently good enough to be published by several different productive publishers, without having to resort to self-publishing (ironic--Danny could've made you a fucking mint as a promoter, if you had any common sense or follow-though). Secondly, your backhanded compliment about my talent (at various times--again with the follow-through and i'll add any vision whatsoever--a lot of us here could've made you a ton of fucking money) would be a wee bit more credible if you weren't insulting people left and right that are at least in my range of creative ability, and from all indications, WAAAY the fuck out of your league, Monster Squad. Tertiary, You--YOU, motherfucker, fucked up my best and only chance to write and draw comics the way I want to do them, DELIBERATELY, with a productive publisher, after I'd been going through a series of gradually worsening attacks of what I later found out to be Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis turning to Secondary Progressive--masked by a certain head injury, but it seems I've had symptoms my whole fucking life. Copaxine is doing the trick, I've put on weight (and can bench press it). For the first time in 20 years, I'm not in constant physical pain. I thought that was just called being alive. I make a living doing freelance art, again. For people who pay. Money. You should try it. People will speak glowingly of you, instead of going on righteous, internet vendettas against everything you stand for.


Here's some Bastardly Whining for you--Why don't you pay the creators you owe money to, instead of bizarrely attempting to intimidate your betters (and 'smarters'--that would be everybody here) into shutting up about what a worthless, unprofessional, talentless, delusional, emotionally-stunted liar and cheat you both factually and truthfully are? Are you really that simple, besides being sociopathic? You'd better pray you never see the inside of a courtroom with anyone here, you blustering moron. To prove libel or defamation, you have to prove that the other person is lying. In that, you are justifiably and righteously fucked.

Anyhow, I don't know if a custom-made, blow-up doll of Jim Shooter that you might or might not keep in The Van of Justice is a lawyer--or his co-council, blow-up Mark Alessi--no matter how much you talk to them--and I get the feeling the Jim Shooter simulacrum isn't getting the whole story, given your penchant for giving only information to reinforce what you wish people to think of you, rather than the facts.


Holy crap...never piss off JR!

Not only can he post in complete sentences using proper English--

It's 'KOWTOW,' you MORON.

For god's sake, what delusion ever made you think you could write?

'Cowtoe.' And even so, you use it as a NOUN here instead of a...oh, good lord, never mind. It's like trying to teach a weasel to fly.



Gail

He couldn't help it, Gail. He has a cowtoe fetish. See how he mentions sucking and cowtoe in the same sentence?

It's all becoming clearer now.

[Flamebird]

Shouldn't that be: The "Civil Wars,The Creators Strike Back?"

"Revenge of the Plebes?"

"Rick Olney,Deabeat on Infinite Threads?"

[Gail Simone]

Honest to god, how a guy who can't make it up a flight of stairs without looking like he's going to throw up and die is going to KICK THE WORLD'S ASSES is sort of beyond me. But as always, empty threats are all he's good at. He certainly is incapable of a decent insult.

He had a bad day yesterday and lots more are coming. His wife, the one he told Ronee he's leaving, also had a bad day. And of course, he has made himself a disgrace in the industry that he so desperately desires to be a mover and shaker in, to say the least.

Thank god at least one of these deadbeat wannabees is recognized universally for what he is.

I love the idea that people will still want to work for a man who can decide, WITH NO JUSTIFICATION WHATSOEVER, simply not to pay you. Yes, all the big name talent will be RUNNING to that imprint.

RICK OLNEY'S COWTOE TALES OF THE BIG DEADBEAT, FEATURING MARY SUE AND THE MAGIC FISH!


Gail

[DungeonmasterJim]

Maybe it's because I'm fighting off a migraine headache as I write this but after reading most of this thread (I'm on page 952 as I write this) I find Rick Olney to be a despicable character. Further, he decides that any person that doesn’t worship him for either his joke of a publishing venture or his comic cons or his views in this thread to suddenly become has-beens, overrated, or some other attack on their professional skills and reputations. His non-replies and evasions to direct questions show he has no intention of ever paying any person involved with him but that is hardly new news after the 14,000+ replies.

Let me make this perfectly clear for Rick Olney. I do not wish this to ever happen to anybody and it is not a threat but should you suffer some sort of major medical catastrophe that leaves you paralyzed in pain and undiscovered for several hours before you die a painful death that it would not bother me in the least. I would consider it akin to a turd swimming in diarrhea that was finally able to be flushed down into the cess pool never to be seen again.

I would never wish physical harm on anyone. As bad as Rick is, as much evil as he's done, that's not something that should be wished on him or anyone.

But he should pay the creators he's cheated, and he should suffer the consequences of being a crook.

Gail

[Gail Simone]

You know, I say again...

...as funny as it is to watch the monkey lose his mind (and what few English skills he has), I'm reminded by this thread that there are a lot of cool, funny, smart people in this industry as both employees and readers. I like how you guys stick up for each other and are obviously offended by Rick's sleazy practices. It's amazing how many new friends have been made here, and that's not even mentioning the good work of Unscrewed or the auction or Ronee's column or meeting Mike Netzer or Kurt's hilarious responses or Waid's unbelievable generosity.

There's no question that the thread is a leviathan and that it's easy to get dragged into the muck, but there's a lot of cool stuff, too.

Goes back to swiping ideas.

Actually, I was thinking of doing a musical. You know, kind of like "Comic Book: The movie," but a musical and it revolves around a convention where a group of freelance artists have been conned into coming there on the promise of payment...

[Typo Lad]

So.... Anyone get sued yet? Just curious.
Mr. Stillwell has claimed that Mr. Olney has, and indeed has been slaped with a writ of garnishment.

We await some form of evidence.

It is not that we do not trust Mr. Stillwell, who has shown himself to be a trustworthy person. However, if we demand evidence from Mr. Olney for his claims, we must hold others to the same standard.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Rick, are you pretending to be gay too? Is a sexual identity crisis the next reason you're going to use for not paying?


RICK OLNEY'S IDENTITY CRISIS is the book Brad Meltzer should be writing.

Ooooh, you got her there!

Wow... imagine that.

Well, I'm older than you are. Actually getting to where you can live without needing to work for some other person or company is not something everyone can do. March's Previews must've been pretty hard up to fill space, huh?

You know Rick, it's a pretty big deal for any small press to get into Diamond. And it's a major victory for anyone that does. Tom's worked hard and deserved everything he got. What have you done in comparison? Oh, that's right. Nothing.

Pay up or fess up. Quid Pro Quo seems apt here. Live it and do it. You might find some self respect at the end of that tunnel.

[Larry Dixon]

This is a fascinating and brilliant meltdown.
In a manic phase, someone doesn't even realize they're having a meltdown, but it happens just the same. Someone can feel gleeful and empowered while eviscerating their reputation and their fellow mans' trust, and they remain oblivious to it while the brain chemistry keeps on feeding their sense of righteousness.

I'll also second the assessment made earlier that the responses in this thread are a form of drama reward. In animal behavior, "drama reward" refers to the result an animal craves from any attention at all, including negative. When a parrot screams at top voice and is answered with "Shut up!" and a dirty look, it's much, much better to the parrot than no response at all.

Fuck you, Samuel Catalino. I'm gonna get your pics scanned and uploaded so everyone can see what a fucking messy asshole you are.

And if his place is messy, who would care?

You seem to think people care one way or another if some creator is overweight, or if someone has a messy home, or that somehow those things are as bad as someone being a stupid, dishonest, racist deadbeat like yourself.

They're not. People don't hate you because you're fat, Rick. They hate you because you're a dishonest piece of shit.

If you put as much effort into paying your debts as you put into trying to deflect criticism and obfuscate, you wouldn't be in your current situation.

[TonyIsabella]

I've received permission from Gary Arkell to post his e-mails to me. Here's the first one...

I do not know what is going on with Rick Olney right now, but I have
been burned twice by him. Once he promised to donate $500 to the
Leukemia Society when I was collecting donations for them. He never
send me the check. Luckily I did not have to pay that donation for
him.

The second time was last year when he promised to buy about $100 of
books from me and he kept on saying the check was in the mail.
Needless to say, I never recieved the check, so I never sent him the
books and I put them back on the shelf.

I sent him a couple of nasty emails and I have wrote him off.

Here's the follow-up:

You can use my information on the website. You can use my name or not.

I really did not lose any money from Olney. I just did not get the
money he promised me in both situations. The first one, was supposed
to be a donation to a charity and the second time was a failed deal.
Luckily I just put those books on reserve for about 3 months and then
put them back on my virtual shelf. I have managed to sell about half
of them afterwards. and no customers really asked for them while Olney
was jerking me around.

He claimed he had unexpected expenses and losses due to a flood in
western NJ. But all of the addresses I saw from him, were nowhere near
the flooded areas last year....

I just wanted him to be honest and say he could not afford the books
right now. If any customer tells me that I say okay and I "walk away".
But he kept on promising, the check is in the mail.....

Luckily, I did not really lose anything. I really did not spend too
much time on the website. Has he caused alot of people to lose money
and merchandise? If so, then he really burned himself and his future.
The comic fandom has a good memory, afterward these fans can memorize
complete runs of their favorite comic, so they can remember a person
burning them if they want to....

I can understand the impulse to respond to Olney's vile posts with anger, but we do far more good by spreading the word about him, revealing his lies, and pursuing claims against him.

I don't respond to his attacks on me here because nothing he says can have any effect on me or anyone I care about. He is utterly inconsequential in my life. I post factual information and warnings about him because that is what I'd want others to do for me if I didn't know about his vileness.

He's the flu. We're the flu shot.

I'm betting that I can ripe your head off and shit down your neck and give you more satisfaction than when you're watchin' your brand of selective viewing.
I'll take that bet.

No shame in being a person with no balls to serve your country, you lil girl. Be proud that you enjoy your freedom at the expense of others, you liberal piece of shit.

"Gail" ... Face it, you're fat. Gone are the days of that favorite photo that hooks the fanboys. All your insults to me don't mean a thing. You're no different than Scott Shaw, Tony Isabella and that Busiek twerp. Okay, I wasn't going to tell you this, but your entire town pitched in back in 2003 to get you away from the salon for a couple days. lol

Yeah, but we've got marketable talents, you rancid little butterball. (What do YOU do for a living? "Professional Sociopath"? Oh, that's right, you live off the hard work of others, a professional parasite.)

Hey, I wear glasses, too. You gonna call me "four-eyes" now, Shakespeare?

[Matt Doc Martin]

Wow. Simply wow.

What a beautiful meltdown.

Olney challenges EVERYONE to a fight, and just loses it.

Wow, Mr. Olney, do you suck!

Meanwhile, here is a copy of the letter showing that yes, I indeed DID report you to the Charities Bureau.

I'm amazed Rick considers "I'm going to show people you have a messy bedroom!" to be a threat. What, is it going to destroy Samuel's reputation if it's revealed he leaves his bedsheets on the floor after he gets up?

I think he ran out of unintelligent things to say...Or maybe he's just off getting more legal advice from the firm of Jonathan Walker and Jack Daniels, Esq. (Our motto: "We'll give you all the proof you need!")

[Inkpot1965]

Okay, folks. I've had all night to mull over the many clues that Rick left in his posts, and I think I've figured out the mystery of how Rick plans to pay his debts. The obvious conclusion is that Rick is planning to will everyone the money he owes after his demise. In an effort to speed up the process, he's destroying himself mentally and physically. Thus Rick is proving that he really DOES care about living up to his responsibilities. How many publishers are willing to lay down their very LIVES for their worker's benefit. I think we all owe Rick a profound apology for ever doubting his intentions. I'll be the first..

Rick, I apologize for having doubted you for a second. I overlooked the subtlety in your plans. But there's no need to martyr yourself. Simply open the checkbook. Don't throw away your retirement with this bold plan.

Thank you. (I did have to correct a "teh", but what can I say?)


So, Rick...Again, I demonstarte that I do not lie. If I say I did something, I DID IT. If I say I am going to do something, I WILL DO IT.

You cannot say the same, you sad excuse for a human.

Prove me wrong.

Yes, we most certainly did. I'll upload them to Unscrewed later this week. But, right now, I NEED to finish up work I should have been doing YESTERDAY. And I'm leaving town for a couple days.

But, yes, every last post of his IS screen capped AND downloaded. :D

[MacQuarrie]

Well... that explains a lot! Doesn't excuse it, but explains it.

But that has to be the stupidest thing yet. Given his health problems, and probably diabetic or borderline diabetic conditions.... to be getting drunk? I'd say a walking heart-attack waiting to happen, but it could be stroke or diabetic shock or any number of collapses.
Any one of them is good enough for me.

That sound you hear is Olney running far, far away as fast as his chubby little feet will take him....

[Samuel Catalino]

Don't let it push some button--you're in good company--half the creative artists I know have 'clutter' issues, to put it politely, and I, for one wouldn't even begin to give a rat's ass. ;)

Dickless's idea of friendship is something akin to The Stanford Prison Experiment, but run by Himmler.

I wouldn't take it too personally--It's kinda like being pissed off at a snake.

Jim, it does not bother me, but I have a story or two about R.O. that might be amusing too.

I appreciate your concern though.

Best,

samuel

[SUPERECWFAN1]

Watching the movie Grandma's Boy , how come I walked away thinking those funny stoners make more sense than what Olney did last night. I love how his business savy has him swearing and ranting online. To piss those potential customers off.

In LCS a few days back me and one of the guys chatted and he brought up Olney from visiting another site. He was shocked by his actions. And why wouldn't he ?

You have a 52 yearold man trying to be Vince McMahon online and with no product to back him up....will anyone care ?

[Reverend Smooth]

I'll also second the assessment made earlier that the responses in this thread are a form of drama reward. In animal behavior, "drama reward" refers to the result an animal craves from any attention at all, including negative. When a parrot screams at top voice and is answered with "Shut up!" and a dirty look, it's much, much better to the parrot than no response at all.He stops responding when he gets shut down properly, I noticed, and/or he has a meltdown. There are some forms of attention that he doesn't like, generally when he encounter someone who is completely unmoved and leaves no wiggle room in an argument.

He really has no idea what to do when a discussion falls outside his preset parameters. That's why his behavior is so rigid.

He cycles through a set of attack responses first. First the paternalism, then the condescension, then the domineering, then the threats, then the victim ploys (really an attack by trying to use words like 'intolerant', 'discriminate'... which only works on insecure people), then the threats, then the insults/meltdown if nothing else has worked.

Erases posts, tries to buff up his image, cycles through the attacks again.

It's like dealing with some sort of grotesque automaton, there's just nothing there except a limited set of responses and behaviors and intense anger when he's not allowed to indulge in the same patterns rather than changing to something that works better.

Last night I brought up Jim Hellwig writing a comic book. He basically wrote it under his character named WARRIOR. And for those who never saw WARRIOR ..here he is in all his glory.


You Now Enter the World of the Warrior !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P39b7v1wzfg

Hellwig produced a comic in the 1990's that was so bizzare , so weird that no one still to this day can figure it out. In one issue he tortured Santa Claus. But thats as much sense as you could get from a Warrior comic.

Happy watching and remember...the video should tell you all ya need to know about the Warrior.

[MacQuarrie]

I can understand the impulse to respond to Olney's vile posts with anger, but we do far more good by spreading the word about him, revealing his lies, and pursuing claims against him.
I'm not responding in anger. I'm responding antagonistically. I'm trying to wind him up. Hopefully his wife's job provides life insurance, so he's worth more dead than alive, and I'm trying to give him a heart attack.

[willtupper]

Well, he's always welcome HERE. :)

Hey, I know WML has no idea who I am, but that guy is pretty much a GOD of writing to me. I've loved his work since Journey. I'm hoping life is picking up for him--is he doing okay?

Best,

Gail

Hi, Gail!

Actually, I once printed out a thread that was posted here (one that included a link to a story done on him in our local paper) where you said some very nice things about Bill M-L, and took it over to his place and showed him.

He might not know who you are, but rest assured : he really appreciated your kind words (I raved about you to him, of course).

How is Bill doing? Well, better. Thank you for asking :). He's busy working on a bunch of projects, trying to get his feet back on the ground. He and his wonderful wife, Nadine, now have a home of their own. And while it may be small, it's a start. You know?

He did a... Green Arrow fill-in issue, I think, not THAT long ago, and he and Nadine are still living off the money he got for that. And he's doing comissions, and working on a novella as well.

Their house is getting into pretty good shape, too. Slowly and steadily, things are getting better.

I will tell him about this thread, and what you said here, next time I talk to him, for sure.

I'm a giant deadwood.

We'd sing:


I'm Rick Olneybitch and I’m not okay
I lie all night, I cheat all day.

Olney’s Orphans : He's Rick Olneybitch and he’s not okay.
He lies all night, he cheats all day.
I write down crap. I spew much piss
I make up phony cons.
On the internet I go trolling
I inspired Ric Ollie.


Olney’s Orphans: He writes down crap. He spews much piss
He makes up phony cons.
On the internet he goes trolling
And he inspired Ric Ollie.

Chorus : I'm (He's) Rick Olneybitch, and I'm (he's) not okay.
I (He) lie(s) all night and I (he) cheat(s) all day.

I swindle folks. I skip my bills.
I like curse your mothers.
I put on airs of grandeur
I may start smoking crack.

Olney’s Orphans : He swindles folks. He skips his bills.
He likes to curse your mothers.
He puts on airs of grandeur
He may star smoking crack.

Chorus : I'm (He's) Rick Olneybitch, and I'm (he's) not okay.
I (He) lie(s) all night and I (he) cheat(s) all day.

I write up posts. I tear them down,
wishing they’d go away.
I wish I had some talent,
But no, I’m just a hack.

[JTPencils]

First, allow me to apologize to the majority of the community here (but never to YOR) for my jumping into the hog waller with dimwit last night. I should have tried to keep my comments totally above board (and feel I did a fairly decent job). But the guy could piss off the Pope with his rantings. Drunk or not.

Secondly, I was thinking, it would be interesting if someone were to print out his various diatribes, and bind and sell them. Sadly, this would do two things... it would be a tough sell, trying to quantify that it is NON fiction.. (these are real comments)... and it would mean that pin head FINALLY has something in print... just not through his own doing. (at least not directly).

Next time he drops in (and let's face it, he can't help himself, it's like a moth flying straight into a flamethrower), I'll try to keep my cool, and not allow the lunatic rambling's get to me. (not that they really did, but I should have responded much better then I did).

[DocAbsurd]

I took Larry's advice last night and simply walked away from this around 11.00. I can't believe he carried on for another 4 hours after. Even in his addled drunken state he had to realize his own words woulda made a million monkeys get up from their keyboards in shame.

His every post -- everywhere -- is being archived, by many many people. Whether or not he was being similarly mocked or insulted, it will be noted he continued foaming at the processor, taunting and swearing and belittling and threatening anyone who caught his. He compared himself to Frankenstein's monster being chased by our mob mentality; he's wrong. The creature was a being of compassion.

It still baffles me that he'd imagine doing this will help him build a solid case. If he's going after anyone for what has been said here against him, he utterly implicated himself last night. His insinuations and outright vulgarity proved everything anyone's ever said about him. He also showed just how enormous a liar he is; why would someone make up a false identity on eBay to discredit him 7 years ago? And read the comments; it still sounds like him to this day.

I honestly would hate to be the judge in this case; imagine having to read the transcript before the case started. *shudder*

I have to wonder, though, knowing that he was doing all this while drinking himself into a stupor . . . seems like the actions of desperate person. It was as if he just gave up last night, entered the foray for one last hurrah, tried to go out with a bang. If he'd stayed off from about 6, he just might have succeeded in the sympathetic ploy; coming back for an all night raving just blew it. He knows he's in deep shyte: he's already been served, he's already gotten the wage garnishment, and he knows there's more on the way. And I know a lot more than I'm allowed to say.

Have another drink, Olney.

What does it say under "location"?



Now, if you wanna start some shit, by all means, bring it here. Airfare from gringolandia is cheap. Hospitals are free and your bail could be even cheaper.

Got passport, americano pendejo?

Like a deer in the headlights I sought this thread out this morning after hearing mention of a massive meltdown. I accidentally learned a few things while reading, too. I live north of the US border and was unfamiliar with the term pedejo, so naturally I looked it up. From widipedia- "Pendejo is etymologically related to the Latin pectiniculus, meaning pubic hair or anal hair. It may be translated as asshole in many situations, though it carries an extra implication of rank and willful incompetence."

How much more perfect could a word be in the above context?

I am very happy to hear Mr. Messner-Loeb and his wife are doing better. I was appalled when I read about thier situation awhile back. It just demostrates that no matter how good things may be at one time it can go bad quickly. I have lived some of the myself but never to the degree they did. So it is very good news to hear.

Mr. Messner-Loeb is one of the single most talented writers to ply his trade in our little medium. It boggles my mind that comic companies aren't giving this guy all the work he can handle.

Here's hoping things continue to improve for them, and quickly.

I'll also second the assessment made earlier that the responses in this thread are a form of drama reward. In animal behavior, "drama reward" refers to the result an animal craves from any attention at all, including negative. When a parrot screams at top voice and is answered with "Shut up!" and a dirty look, it's much, much better to the parrot than no response at all.

You've met my birds?!

Heh, and everyone I know is always so shocked when their screaming won't quiet the little blighters, but when I step up to them and whisper "Shhh" they clam right up.

Hans: "That big one, in all the red, she's no fun."
Fritz: "The next time she let's us out, we're going for HER TOESIES!!!"

Which is relevant, because the witnessed tantrum is the Rick Olney equivalent of a pair of wing-clipped mini-parrots coming for your toesies.

Nah. I think he really was plastered last night. I think the first truly honest thing he's said here is that he was drunk.

~Bev

[singoalla]

I've never seen a fully grown man have throw a tantrum before this thread. It's pathetic and hilarious at the same time.
"You paid no one!"
"WAH! Bad people! While the wife's out of the house I'll just rage impotently at the computer and call everyone fuckers and assholes!"

Also, anyone else noticed how he won't take responsibility for his actions? Not a single thing is up to him.
Payment? He can't pay, it's up to the lawyers.
Suing people? He can't stop it. It's up to the lawyers.
Supposedly paying people years ago - the checks all got lost, thanks to the apparently incompetent USPS/flooding/health problems in the family
Giving out his lawyer's info? It's not up to him to decide.

and so on and so on... Makes one wonder if Rick Olney has any will of his own at all.

[Sarah Beach]

He faked it. He is really that stupid without booze.

He is trying to get deniability, is all.

Matt, seriously, I think he was drinking all day. I think he drank some and got just far enough along that it lowered his restraint and he decided to post here. And then once here, he just continued. Given how long he went on, it's kind of impressive in an appalling way. Because he had a certain degree of control - to his typing, mostly. The content, the lack of caring, the flat out insulting with no subtlety - those can all be tracked as the effects of drinking. But it wasn't untill he was getting to the end that it really started showing, with the truly bad typos. He types slurring when drunk!

He's not that good a writer or actor, Matt. That was drunk-for-real.

[qball]

The other reason I love YABS so much is that you all come up with the BEST ideas for comic books (like "Make Believe Marine") and DON'T EVEN KNOW IT! :D

[Ronée]

Again, what part of non-of-your-business don't you understand. My talking to Ronee here in answering her posts (aimed directly at me) isn't me asking for your remarks or opinions. It also isn't me caring what you think or have to say.Because she actually makes SENSE and Rick can't handle that... that press release, with your quoted words are all I need really. Besides the numerous times u have stated here that u owe me.

If he had any sense, he'd have shut up ages ago.

There; Fixed it. :cool:

I'm with Sarah, Matt. He was shytefaced and a gobshyte. If you can stomach it, re-read yesterday's entire activities; you can watch him slowly deteriorate straight into incoherency.

I likened us to a group sitting around for coffee; he was the down-on-his-luck drunkard, falling all over our table and making a general nuisance (I'm claiming that name; I actually have use for it) of himself. If he coulda stood up straight, he woulda balanced a stick on his shoulder: 'Knock it off, I dares ya!'

Normally I have enough compassion for people to at least summon up a of pity for someone in his shoes. Not this time. Not only did he tie his laces into knots, not only are they are on the wrong feet, he bloody well pissed all over 'em.

He's a tiny little man.




Doc 'Someone Step on Him' Absurd

[Blake Petit]

I'm still catching up here, gang, still on page 1005 (shudder).

Reading Rick's posts is starting to remind me of that Simpsons episode where Lisa sees a slide of a movie theater advertising a "Yahoo Serious Film Festival." She just flutters her eyes and says, "I recognize those words, but that sign makes no sense!"

[Ronée]

Danny, I hope it never gets to be too "old school" to get pissed off when someone starts with ad hoc attacks against women. There are enough gentlemen left out there to stand up when that happens.

It wasn't my experience, but the disgusting statments made about Ronee that finally got me mad enough to share with the rest of the class.That's one of the reasons I love you hun...

[Matt Doc Martin]

Ok...I have PDF's of EVERYTHING the fat bastard said last night, and made special note of subtle and overt threats he made to posters here, not to mention his claims of disregarding small claims court.

I am uploading it to yousendit. My PM box is near full. email me for a copy..make sure I know who you are here.

Oh, Dick (the ACCEPTED SHORTENED FORM OF RICHARD, which IS YOUR GIVEN NAME), you make me smile so.

I can't wait to see you in person!

[Ronée]

Mattchew, you're such a troll... Karma may bring you back as a toad, if you ain't careful. lolGawd, he is such an idiot and likes to PROVE it often apparently. Wiccan Karma (again, as Rev said, NOT the term used but the idea followed) is that anything you reap will come to fruition in your time on this earth, you dont come back as an animal if u do bad now... dimwit.

That's one of the reasons I love you hun...

No, actually the way it happened has no reason to change. It is factual. And I am no longer in possession of your many emails. My attorney has them so I can't comment on what you've typed here.


Still catching up...

PLEASE tell me he's not that dumb. No one who can actually successfully post to a message board, be it in his broken pidgin retard English, is THAT DUMB.

Again, I hope those of you taking the lead of people like "Gail Simone" and Matt "Doc" Martin are happy with how you may have compromised your lives.

I haven't checked in in a while. Has anybody who's posted here compromised their lives? Do you have to do anything special? How insulting do you have to be? I wanna compromise my life.

Well, I do smoke(trying unsuccessfuly to quit), and drink WAY too much coffee.

So technically, I'd imagine that is compromising my life.

Other than that; not that I've noticed. :cool:

[wishlish]

I've read the whole thread, and I have a few thoughts (all my own opinion).

1. I was surprised that he threatened to sue Tom Stillwell over revealing that his wife was once a partner in TLE. We've been posting that info for weeks. Heck, I advocated, and continued to advocate, that any person owed money by TLE sue the both of them.

I suspect his new strategy is to absorb any lawsuits/judgments against him while praying that no one touches his wife's credit. She's the sole wage earner in the family (though he apparently gets some government benefits). Any wage garnishments against him alone are going to be tough to enforce when he has so little income. I'd sue her, too; as co-partner when all of the contracts were made, she's just as liable, and a lot easier to get money from.

2. He was on awfully late last night. Gail says that the two of them had a bad day yesterday. He was quiet for a few days. I had speculated that he was quiet because he was snowed in with his wife during the bad snowstorms in NY. Does his late-night meltdown mean she's not watching him anymore? Did she leave him as a result of the lawsuits? Did she drive off in the Van of Justice?

3. I saw everyone's posts last night. I was scratching my head at a lot of them. People were insulting him, trying to be verbally clever, assuming he gave a damn about anything said about him. He cares not a whit about what any of us think about him. He only gets off on the thought that we're talking about him. Thus, every post to him, regardless of content, just makes him happier.

I propose a solution- the next time Olney posts here, JUST SAY NOTHING. Ignore him completely. Let him post away without direct reply. Don't acknowledge his presence. Talk about anything but Olney. It'll drive him mad.

I admit, it's a lot of fun taunting Olney. He's an easy target. He's bald, fat, smelly, and crazy. Any joke made will automatically be funny. But after a while, I'd rather see people concentrate on suing Olney and making him pay the artists he screwed. Taking money out of his pocket hurts Olney worse than reminding him of his many physical and mental shortcomings.

Besides, why make him happy? He loves the taunts. I refuse to play his game anymore. I've insulted him directly before. I was proud of my verbal jousts. And yet, not one artist got paid because of it. So did I really do any good?

I'm not saying that we shouldn't keep the heat on Olney. But the next time he gets on, make him feel lonely and ignored. It'll hurt worse than any insult.

[Flamebird]

Yes, but I'm trying to be Gallant, not Goofus.

I ask others try to do the same.


You're probably right, of course. :(

Sometimes the gnat buzzing around gets on your nerves and you just want to squish it.

But seriously, I've never antagonised the little defect. I asked one simple(so he could understand the words) question, and in return get "fuck you, fuckwad".

Once again, peanut showing his fascination with the bodily fluids of men.

[EdContradictory]

I'd just caution you not to let your mouth write a check the civil laws will be looking for.
That's the same advice my grandpa used to always give me.

Then we committed him because he wasn't making any sense anymore...

[Corrina]

Couple of comments:

1. To follow up what Sarah said about Chuck Dixon's NDA--Rick Olney admitted publicly that Chuck NEVER signed an NDA. So he couldn't break an NDA he never signed.

2. I would be willing to be that orcafresh is not the only account he used on ebay. Someone more internet research savvy than I could probably search and find several account of his with negative feedback. If he's not currently active doing this stuff on ebay, it's only because ebay took action to keep him away. I'd check amazon auctions as well.

I like the idea of simply ignoring him the next time he comes back. It's not as if what he says is comprehensible anyway. ;)

[Ronée]

Oh why wait for this to show up. Sorry Matt:

http://myworld.ebay.com/orcafresh/OMG!!!!! You guys have NO idea how signifigant this is. Right before I left TLE Rick was trying to get me to run auctions on Ebay on his behalf in order to recoup some of the money he owed ME, I wondered why he did not want to do it himself but I just figured he was an old man who could not work a computer very well. I was told numerous times the so called mint condition comics were on thier way to me so I could start posting them up, but much like my checks, they must have gotten lost in the mail.

Given that he was up - and drinking himself to a stupor - until 2:30 am his time, I'm guessing it will be a while before another aquatic mammal visitation.

And yes, it would be amusing to see him go nuts if we talked around him but not to him. As soon as he reappears, we could get reports on all the creative activities of everyone he's not only stiffed, but those he's insulted. Let's talk about everyone else's creative endeavors!

Where's the St. Jude's money RICK?

THE PARTY

Saturday night at 7pm until 9pm, there is a charity auction to benefit the St Jude Children's Hospital, specifically the kid's cancer efforts. I have lots of comics related items thus far but not much in the way of horror memorabilia ... so I'm hoping the exhibitors and guests will be kind and kick in an item or two that day or before then. Anyone interested in helping out can send item(s) to me at: TightLip Entertainment, 70 West Main Street, Mohawk, New York 13407-1031. Attn: Rick Olney. Thank you.

After the auction, the PARTY will run until close. Probably carry over into a room or two, if need be. It'll be a cash bar, but I plan to try and be as generous as possible. It isn't an open party, so if you're a Pitter and you're comin' ... email me at: the_spooky2005@yahoo.com to get on the entrance list. You must be of 21 years of age to drink.

It just occured to me regarding this:


2. I would be willing to be that orcafresh is not the only account he used on ebay. Someone more internet research savvy than I could probably search and find several account of his with negative feedback. If he's not currently active doing this stuff on ebay, it's only because ebay took action to keep him away. I'd check amazon auctions as well.


Given that to set up a PayPal account, one needs a credit card and, optionally, a bank account to link to, I wouldn't be surprised if his options for back up accounts were actually limited (hence the asking others to front for him). He might not have had the means (accounts and email addresses) available to set up alternate accounts. With that kind of negative rating, he'd surely be tracked one way or another.

[Typo Lad]

You actually can do Paypal without a Credit Card or Bank Account. They'll mail you checks.

Um, maybe not directly but I do remember you having me deal with eBay on your behalf to pay your debts. not that you ever accepted any offer that was made or I ever saw any of the items.

Although I have to say, I was suspect on why we had to use MY account, because you said you didn't have one, and didn't want to go to the trouble of making one.

Probably because of that link right there.

While everybody might be laughing at Olney on the convention circuits, I'm already hearing noise about the levels many on this thread descended to in response to him.

We expect Olney to quickly fall into vitriolic abuse... he's done it what, six or seven times on this thread alone? However with the intelligence arrayed against him here, we SHOULD be capable of much, much better ourselves.

When everybody is insulting him the same way he does, he has the illusion of being on equal footing. When we keep it level and intelligent and stick to the facts, he froths at the mouth and runs, because he cannot answer these.

Please people, I'm begging you, don't stoop to those levels again.

[bluecove]

Post deleted.

[Comcman]

I am really looking forward to the Pittsburgh Comicon this year. :)
(Gail, I really wish you couild change your schedule. This could be fun)

So what do you think his team of lawyers who are pouring over this thread think about his ramblings last night? And what exactly makes his comments less libelous than anyones comments about him? (Not that I believe that he has any case to start with).

And he seems to think he is going to get rich off of suing those he did not pay and then had the gall to complain publicly. He does know that he has to prove the actual monetary damage to his reputation in order to recover. And he has a duty to mitigate that damage. Staying off the internet would have been a very good idea. But by provoking attacks and blatanly slurring others, he is really hurting his case.

While he is speaking bi-weekly with his attorney (who apparently is the actual head of TightLip since Rick can take no action without his approval, even cutting a check), maybe the attorney can inform him that when he sues people, those people are allowed to defend themselves (even if it is in violation of his beloved NDA). And his credibility as one who has been unfairly attacked just took a major hit.

Also, how come the only thing he ever defends himself against is the fact that it was Dennis' car and not his? There is so much more going on here, but he keeps beating that dead horse with "proof" that says nothing.

I also do not get his insistance that we do not know all of the facts but then the refusal to provide any. I understand that he may not want to give out his "legal strategy", but then he should just stay away. Over 400 posts (just under his 2nd screenname here), but no substance. I could understand if he was posting to defend himself, but he hasn't even done that. He was just throwing around slurs that got more vile as the night went on.

It was fun to watch the descent though.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

I really debate if he was drunk. Because lets be honest...he was posting to each and every member along the way going back pages at a time. Typing up long at times diatribes and as he said " Why should I give a shit ? "

Odds are he realized after his 4 hour rage online that he had let something slip so he rattled off he was drunk. This way he could claim he really didn't mean what he said and can plead that he was drunk. Hell during one of the exchanges he admitted he loved the attention and only came back during the day to get the thread to 15,000 .

Rick was about as drunk as any of us. He knew exactly what he was doing as he started trying to push buttons as usual. The only thing that angered him was when he realized he tried to lie about Ronee working for him and once he stuck that foot in his mouth he was trying like hell to run past it.

As Gail or Scott said. When he knows he's posted something incriminating he'll post away trying to get by it as well. Look back thru the thread...he odds are let big details fall and was trying to bury them under pages or use insults to make people forget.

From the aforementioned link:
I just thought you’d each enjoy learning that TightLip Entertainment isn't dead.
It was when I last looked.

It is true that our publishing efforts fell upon hard time with resulting work-for-hire 'talent' troubles to be legally worked out. That isn't a crime.
Oh yes it is!

Some within the hobby and comic book entertainment industry have been actively engaged in spreading lies and mistruth. Libel and slander has been also used and is being dealt with as anyone would expect.
Come up with some new material, "Rick".

In my case, a handful of people calling themselves "professionals" in the comic book entertainment industry, have made my personal and professional life a matter of their discussions, both public and private. This isn't being tolerated.
Well, if you'd paid them their money, "Rick", they wouldn't be doing this.

Where do these uninvolved professional people think their involvement aids those affected? They simply employ mob mentality and tactics. People living lives by daily threats and the continous spread of lies. I promise you, it will stop soon.
In court I hope.

[Danny Donovan]

OMG Danny You too???

What an ass.


Yes ma'am.

I am not sure if I was the first sucker, but long before he had you on as PR manager, he asked me to do it. He even offered an hourly pay for it. Hence why I'm rounding off my damages as I am. Instead of the $450 for columns I am adding an additional $50 for the work and the UPFRONT COST TO MYSELF for listing his stupid items.

I'm sure I did more than that but I would feel bad claiming more than $500 considering what he put others (like DocA through)

I must ask Ronnee, did you EVER see any of the items he wanted listed? He just posted pictures on the MMC board for me to use. (not even good pictures, pics he ripped off the internet)

And it never went high enough for him so he never went through with any of the winning bidders (even though I think I did make $250 off his Namors) But because he's going off an Overstreet from 1993, he thinks they're all worth a gazillion dollars each because they're old.

Meh.

And he, this genuine genius, actually spends time with me? Of his own volition (note to Rick Olney: "volition" means "a choice or decision made by the will." Next week we'll work on colors and shapes, okay?)?!?

It's just amazing. I love them both, and will always consider his friendship to be a cherished gift.

I am very happy to hear Mr. Messner-Loeb and his wife are doing better. I was appalled when I read about thier situation awhile back. It just demostrates that no matter how good things may be at one time it can go bad quickly. I have lived some of the myself but never to the degree they did. So it is very good news to hear.

Mr. Messner-Loeb is one of the single most talented writers to ply his trade in our little medium. It boggles my mind that comic companies aren't giving this guy all the work he can handle.

Here's hoping things continue to improve for them, and quickly.

While everybody might be laughing at Olney on the convention circuits, I'm already hearing noise about the levels many on this thread descended to in response to him.

We expect Olney to quickly fall into vitriolic abuse... he's done it what, six or seven times on this thread alone? However with the intelligence arrayed against him here, we SHOULD be capable of much, much better ourselves.

When everybody is insulting him the same way he does, he has the illusion of being on equal footing. When we keep it level and intelligent and stick to the facts, he froths at the mouth and runs, because he cannot answer these.

Please people, I'm begging you, don't stoop to those levels again.

OzBat, I think (certainly for my part) it will be an aberation: we were assuming that he was in the midst of a sober meltdown. Not that it excuses any of the "in kind" responses to him. But if we'd really been aware that it was drunken posting, I think most of us would have been ... well, as you recommend us to be. :) :o

I don't think we'll make that assumption again, especially if he repeats the behavior.

"Ice" is the word - or it should be.

[willtupper]

Also, I totally think Gail should create two super bad-guys named "Slander"
and "Libel" and put them somewhere (BOP? Welcome to Tranqulity?).

Maybe they could be evil twins. And when they finally got their butts beat, they could run off into the night screaming "Olney! Olney!"

Okay. Maybe not much with the good idea, that one.

[Sarah Beach]

So, I got bored about nine pages back in the midst of the pointless insults to actual stars, and racist remarks about both australians (Thatched roof house?) and mexicans (Which just annoy me.) and skipped to the end. Did I miss anything terribly important?

He was drinking himself to a stupor. (All day long, is my guess.)

That's about it.

That ebay (http://myworld.ebay.com/orcafresh/)profile is hysterical. He doesn't pay anybody! And then I read about him being angry that people "insinuate" he doesn't pay.

And the replies:
Payment WAS mailed as agreed. I will attempt to correct this matter.

Payment was INDEED mailed out as agreed. I will attempt AGAIN to correct this.


How many times has Gail claimed he's said that and how many times has he called her liar. It's like his mantra:
"Payment is on its way"

Probably nothing compared to the noggin pains he'll be experiencing soon with the suit's headed his way.

He probably thinks "The check's in the mail" sounds too pedestrian, or common. And he SO wants to be original.

"A tough night"??? A tough night?

How tough is it to sit in a chair, type slams of every other person on the board he's posting to, and drink himself into a stupor?

Ijit.

[Blake Petit]

Also where's my love? :( I'm just as cute as blake! :p

You've got to understand, Danny, Ronee and I have an arrangement of mutual ego-stroking going back several years. :D

Hell, the woman got my second novel published and directed my first play (first one I wrote, not the first one I performed in). Then she let me be her assistant director later so that I could direct my first show (as a director), which she also performed in. And somewhere in there, she's found the time to shop around various comic books, plays and novels of my making.

I owe the woman tons of love. I'm just flattered that she reciprocates.

The more he says he's hung over and all , the more I think he's just using it as an excuse. I'm sorry...he seemed to use the I'M DRUNK card to hopefully get outta any potential bad statements he made.

I told him, didn't I? I said he pushed me to this point. I may be 'absurd', but I ain't no laughing matter.

I remember that whole eBay fiasco, Danny. He was fit to be tied; unfortunately his mouth wasn't fit to be shut. I remember he offered me something similar, too, but I turned it down immediately.

For some odd reason, while reading his rabid insults, I couldn't help but hear Archie Bunker in my head. And even 'he' was ashamed.

I'm taking the stance right now:

Next he appears -- and he will appear again -- I will strive to ignore him. Completely. There are only 3 topics that might force me to address him directly (and I ain't giving them away). I'll even retire the affectation of 'Moby'.




Doc 'Dingbat' Absurd

[SUPERECWFAN1]

And why ignore him ? The more he posts and more wild bullshit that he does , the more that gets saved . I'll post civil to him as Ozbat has said. If we keep it civil it will drive him crazy.

Awww, but then we can't talk about other creators *CoughlikemeCough* while we ignore him. ^_~

LOL, actually keeping it civil with him would probably be best. It'd probably be good evidence in court to show how we're being perfectly reasonable and he's the one going batshit.

Well just as long as we all agree I'm equally adorable...

:p

But that's cool about all that stuff!

Ronee rocks.

*shleps off unloved* :p


Tim, that just proves how damn smart you are. I was a fool to believe everyone had a good side and could be made into an honorable person if one tried.

I got burned. Bad.


Matt, what group is that from?


Sorry for the lack of individual qoutes, I am dog tired. I went to sleep at 8am then got woken up at 10 by someone who needed a favor. >_< You know next time a friend who owns a business on high street calls and says "do you have time to help me with something real quick?" I need to ask "does it involve moving an 800lb piece of machinery through very tiny doors?

That is from the GRIM ONE group.

I got kicked off there.

I have to admit, I just like to see the monkey dance.

It cracks me up, after all the crap he's pulled on creators.
