Crab rangoon, pepper steak, vegetable lo-mein, steamed rice, fried rice, almond green beans, egg drop soup, General Tso's chicken...
Screw the both of youse... The China Buffet, which is but fifteen minutes from Casa de Kelly, closed at 10pm.
BASTARDS!
Now, I'm gonna go eat cheddar and sour cream Ruffles sprinkled with ketchup.
*sigh*
And who is this mysterious General Tso? The spelling of his name changes from one restaurant to another. Who IS this person, and how did he end up on so many menus? What power does he possess?

It is named after Zuo Zongtang, whose in western civilization is usually referred to as General Tso or General Tsuo. Legend has it that the recipe was created by his wife, although nobody knows if this is true or not.

Why, if true that woman should be hailed as a hero world-wide. I say we change the name to Mrs. Tso's chicken and set things right.

I haven't really talked much on this site, since I'm one of those people that the less I like someone, the quieter I'm around that person. Which probably helped create the environment where Rick could flourish. However, I was reading the New of the Weird yesterday and saw something that reminded me of him:
See? This is why you show up in court. You don't, bad things happen. If they can do this to a large bank, then Rick doesn't have a prayer, besides the one he says every night for God to call lightning down on everyone here. But then, we already knew that.
Very good point, Justin.
I think the entire Non-Olney-thinking world knows not showing for court cases is the act of a moron.
This is just another fine example.

Like many on this YABS thread, I assume, I sent out Tony's letter to everyone on my MySpace friends list, in the form of a bulletin. I figured it was the right thing to do. God forbid any aspiring creators or minor leaguers get swindled.
So, I check out my inbox, and guess what I found?
First of all, as PG has repeated time and time again, IT AIN'T LIBEL IF IT'S TRUE.
Secondly, I quake in fear of his two law firms and the appropriate authorities.
Thirdly, I'll be living in sin with Isla Fisher before those civil actions arrive. The courts don't smile upon no-shows, Owe-ney.
And, fourth in line, for the win... LEAGGLY?
This has prompted me to ask a timely question: Do I absolutely have to do the Pay-Pal thingee to buy something from the auction?
Better yet, please, POUPs (People of Unscrewed! Products), allow me to cover Unscrewed! in an installment of Best Shots when it hits the scene, okay?
Domo origato... muchas gracias... etc.
Here's my question: Assuming this guy actually HAS even ONE leaggle teem, what kind of case does he think he might possibly have? As many have stated on this thread, something is only libel or slander if it is UNTRUE. Otherwise, it is just NEWS.
Additionally, this guy clearly does not understand how hard it is to make a harassment charge stick. Women have trouble getting (and getting the police to enforce) restraining orders on their ex-husbands who have sent them SIGNED, HAND-WRITTEN letters threatening to KILL them (literally...I grew up in a house with a lawyer, and this sort of thing was the kind of crap he and his clients had to deal with on a regular basis)...so why does this guy think that a few e-mails saying "pay me the money that you owe me" is going to get Johnny Law to mobilize the SWAT team and start dragging people away in cuffs?
Which leaves him with what? The issue of violated NDAs? If only life were that simple...if only you could do whatever you want and then hide behind a gag order like that's a cure-all for any leaggle woes you might encounter. From what I've gathered in this thread, the guy: Does not have a legitimate business (i.e. licensed in his home state/county/town); has not made good on promises he has made in writing and via electronic message; and has threatened and harassed a huge number of people with physical violence via the same means.
Furthermore, any attorney with half a brain would tell this douche bag to stop talking to the people he's trying to sue.
So, at this point, who the hell does this stupid asshole even think he's fooling? There are no grounds for any kind of leaggle akshun whatsoever.

You're 100% right about the leaggle akshun, and Rick has proven time and again he doesn't have a goddamned clue about how the law works in the real world. The fact is, he broke every agreement first by his non-payment, deadbeat, 'checks-in-the-mail,' 'I'm not answering calls this month' bullshit, and any judge in the world would see that.
Add to THAT the lovely racist, homophobic and anti-female comments ALONG with a history of violent threats, and you have a poster child for how NOT to go to court.
That's why his threats are so funny.

By the way, someone replied to his myspace post about being cyberstalked:
Hi Rick, long time no hear. I was just wondering, would it not be more prudent for you to explain to 'Us' the public exactly what is going on. Being not comic affiliated and just a collector per se, all this talk of NDA's etc go right above my head. If you clarify exactly why these things are being said in simple english, maybe people would be less partisan in their opinions of you.

Posted by Derek on Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 7:57 PM
Seems reasonable enough to ask, right? The question is, "what's this all about, Rick?" To which, Deadbeat Dickless Wonder replies with:
Hi Derek:
Really? Non-disclosure agreements are actually very simple to understand and adhere to, once a person has bothered to understand the responsibilities that come after signing one with an individual, group, or company entity. You can read up on them at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-disclosure_agreement
Where your thoughts are concerned -- regarding people needing to understand my personal legal tussles -- that actually isn't true. Partisan opinions do not matter to me. But I do think that everyone should understand the responsibilities of signing an NDA, even with a small, yet growing company like mine.
Thank you for your blog response. I wish you well.

Keep in mind, this is the same asshat that gets all his leaggle advice from wikipedia.
Unless it disagrees with what he assumes. The "NDA" section doesn't say what he's interpreted to say, and the "civil law" section says nothing about simply reporting "violations" to "those authorities who enforce civil law" and from then on it's out of your hands.
And he knows nothing about appeals procedure, either.
I think he gets most of his leaggle advice from LAW & ORDER, despite that being identified clearly as about the criminal court system -- he seems to think that if you don't like a verdict, you simply look grim, then there's a "Duh-DUHN" music sting, and bam, you're arguing the appeal.
Or maybe he gets it from Fraggles.

But I do think that everyone should understand the responsibilities of signing an NDA, even with a small, yet growing company like mine."Growing"? The company was two people, now it's one. It has not been putting out any more product or generating any additional revenues of late. The only visible "growing" going on is growing debt.
And perhaps he ought to understand the responsibility of his "small, yet growing company" signing contracts.

Based on that brilliant observation, this is what I feel the plantiffs should do in future cases...
Knowing that Olney will be a no-show, they should quietly slip in and put a Ric Olie doll on the Defendent's table before the trial begins.

Please send me the link as I'd like to see just what he's saying.

So Matt as soon as you can I'd appreciate the info.
I feel really bad for Billy, as I am for anyone who comes into this... It's not fun, and it's not pleasant to deal with unbalanced people. I told him I had matt going through them all and gave him a link to the unscrewed gallery where we have 415 out of the 14,000 posts catalogued. :p

Billy, I'm so proud and happy for you all at the same time. You know, whenever we've talked at conventions and such over the years...it has been about orca. I never told you, near as I can recall, about my own great love for hunting.
Your recanting on the recent kill and those pictures!!! Wow! Man, that is something you'll have for a longtime as a nice memory.
A couple of small points that I sort of connect with (in your story) are:
#1 - I just happen to live down the road from the one and original Remington Arms manufacturing plant. I have a couple of Remington's in my own collection...but I hope you'll forgive me not listing them by make and caliber. I'm a longtime member in the NRA and I don't tend to share that kind of info in public forums. :-X
#2 - You mentioned Roosevelt, right? President Teddy Roosevelt (while in office) made a point of taking several guided huntings trips and wildlife fishing tours up in the Adirondack Mountains. Bet you'd be surprised to learn that my great great grandfather, Nelson Chandler, was actually his guide. Yes, my great great grandfather was one of the great Adirondack guides. His daughter was my dad's grandmother. So I guess I come by my interest in hiking, fishing and hunting honestly. :)
Well... I'm glad you chose to share the details of your hunt, Billy! That buck is a beauty! Thank you.

Since I'm already going through the trash that is Rick, have you seen this?
More claims of getting money for St. Judes. Even though "The Spooky" didn't happen(I don't think), just the fact of him claiming it is creepy.
TightLip Entertainment presents The Spooky horror convention!
TightLip Entertainment presents The Spooky!
The Spooky! is upstate NY's only HORRORGASM!
Being held in Syracuse over the 23rd and 24th
of October (2004), it promises to be one of the
main horror events of the fall, with a growing
Friday the 13th cast reunion in place, with more stars
being confirmed everyday!
Not to mention a strong line up of horror comic
artists and publishers. The Spooky is a
horror event you can't miss!
**
Adrienne King << JUST CONFIRMED!
Thats right, Adrienne King has just confirmed for The Spooky. She is the original Friday the 13th Scream Queen and the Spooky will only be her second convention to date. The Spooky weekend will ironically coincide with the E! channel's "Scream Queen" program, Which Adrienne has now been officially dubbed by the business...."what is going on?"...
Lar Park Lincoln
Lar played the telekinetic match for Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 7: The New Blood. A favourite with the fans, Lar makes this her second convention appearance. If you don't attend, and stir her temper you had better nail down your furniture, or suffer the consequences...
CJ Graham
Regarded by many as the best man for the job, CJ played the infamous Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives. Getting his break in the movie after the first choice didn't cut it on set. He has only done a handful of convention appearances to date, you can catch him at The Spooky this year!
Richard Brooker
Richard played Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D. Perhaps the hardest movie to play Jason in, due to the complex shots for the 3D effects. This is his first East Coast convention appearance, make sure that you attend the show!
Warrington Gillette
Another major fan favourite, Warrington had the honour of playing the original adult Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Part 2. Maybe the best -or more fitting- sequel to the original classic, Friday the 13th. Warrington has a movie in the works called "Bloody Social", which you can hear all about at The Spooky!
Bill Randolph
Playing Jeff in Friday th 13th Part 2, Bill had the honour of being one -of two- of the opening characters in Part 2 -along with screen girlfriend Sarah (Marta Kober). He also has the honour of being at the butt end of one of Jason's most infamous kills: the double impalement in the sack (ouch!). This will be his first convention appearanceas far as we know!
Stu Charno
Playing Ted in Friday the 13th Part 2, we don't only have a Friday the 13th reunion of sorts, but almost a mini Friday the 13th Part 2 reunion! Ted was the ultimate joker of the Friday movies, "whats green and red and goes a hundred miles an hour? A frog in a blender!" He also managed to escape Jason's wrath in a drunken stupour, a feat that most fail. This will be his first convention, make sure you make it along to meet the funny man in person!
There are more Friday the 13th guests to be confirmed, however at this point only the above are 100% confirmed.
**
Also appearing, on the comic/horror art side of things...
Miguel Insignares
Miguel Insignares Brings DAWN OF THE DEAD comic book to the MMC/Spooky! Miguel A. Insignares' broad range in comic books, broadcasting, and multi-media entertainment has positioned him as a leader of today's visual creatives. His newest endeavor, MIG.BIZ, LLC, is the newest force in cutting-edge, high quality graphic entertainment. MIG.BIZ is proud to debut their first publication based on the Universal Studios film DAWN OF THE DEAD. Miguel Insignares' artwork can also be seen in the 2004 action film THE PUNISHER based on the popular Marvel Comics character.

Basil Gogos
"World's Greatest Famous Monster Artist..." We're pleased to announce that the "World's Greatest Famous Monster Artist," Mr. Basil Gogos, will be joining us in Syracuse this October! "During the heyday of the vingage era fright-film, [Mr. Gogos] excelled in painting monster portraits... from book and magazine covers, to editorials, movie and theater posters, to portraits, murals and even ad agency work."
**
Jami Deadly
I take great pleasure in announcing that Jami Deadly will be guesting and helping to MC at portions of the October MMC/Spooky on the 23rd and 24th.
Jami is a very versatile addition to the guest roster, as I'm sure you can tell. Along with hosting her own horror show in the heart of Texas. She also makes appearances as a very convincing, almost erie, impersonation of Marilyn Monroe.
Jami has offered to help out during the various convention segments during the convention and I think The Spooky might've just found its first poster girl. She'll also be performing an ADULTS ONLY burlesque performance on Saturday evening. She has websites here:

Robyn Griggs
Robyn has joined the guest lineup for October! Come meet this excitingly charming star of leading roles on the daytime soaps. She played Stephanie Hobart (Carlos niece/ first one to murder him) on ONE LIFE TO LIVE ABC and the rebellious teen Maggie Cory on ANOTHER WORLD NBC. Plus - She has a skeleton or two in her closet. Come meet her 'Spooky' side.
**
There are many more guests arranged and to be confirmed. There will be dealer tables, exhibitors and also an auction to raise money for St Judes Children Hospital, with items being donated by the guests for auction (SEE BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS ON THIS). Furthermore, there will be a party on the Saturday night, with a live band (ALSO SEE BELOW).

EXTRA ACTIVITY
Until the Dawn
*Yes, from Saturday, October 23rd at 9pm until dawn on the 24th... Horror films to entertain every boy and ghoul!
Spooky Ms. Junior Scream Queen Contest
* Ever have a desire to scream your lungs out?! Ever wish it was for prizes and fame?!
Well here's your chance!
On Sunday, October 24th, in the afternoon at 2pm -- The First Annual Spooky Ms. Junior Scream Queen Contest will be held!
It is as simple as wearing or bringing your costume and being at the contest judging area indicated in your program.
There is ONE age category group:
All FEMALE contestants Over the Age of 16yrs. There's no maximum age limit, so come watch your dear old granny scream her lungs out!
Three place prizes awarded per each category
THREE areas of critique/judging:
* Most Original
* Most Professional
* Most Impressive
The Judges will be chosen from the Guest Roster. ALL Contestants are required to turn in an entry form available at the ticket counter upon purchasing admission. Contestants under the age of 21 must have an adult accompanying them in order to participate!
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 wouldn't be so bad, but he probably THINKS in the same mangled language as he writes!
Do his speech patterns match his typing patterns? Some people's do, and some don't. (Mine do.)
But stuff like that does make my brain hurt, because I can't help but wonder the same thing, and I'd hate to have a brain that works like that.

More claims of getting money for St. Judes. Even though "The Spooky" didn't happen(I don't think), just the fact of him claiming it is creepy.

Guys, I think the references to Billy Tucci being a guest to one of the upcoming MMCs was posted on the MMC site, in the left margin announcements. You might have to check the Wayback Machine to see if there was a capture of it.
On the mySpace front: on the orcafresh page, Billy's no longer listed as a friend (didn't check the whole list - just noted that Billy was off the front page, and Jason Dube's avatar was in the spot Billy's used to be).

Heh. After I read my mail, I can get on YABS, and *aaaaaaahhh*
Back in the late 80's I joined the Science Fiction Book Club. They misread my name as Cleff [I use two separate strokes to make the "J" in my name]. Soon afterward I started getting junk mail addressed to Cleff Austin. Proof positive that the SF Book Club was selling my info to other companies.

Hmmm... I'd say it would depend on who was doing what to me and where. I may not WANT to kill them! ;)

Hmmmm... indeed. ;)
What is that pirates like collecting...?
Oh yes. Booty.

I had a friend in college who, whenever he subscribed to something or sent a request for information, would use a different middle initial, so that he could track who sold his name to whom. Typos such as you mention were gravy for him.

Well, every once in awhile I'd get some interesting junk mail, so I didn't complain much.

Folks, if you are an industry professional (retailer, creator, media, publisher) interested in getting the word out about Olney please PM me when you are able.
I have something you should see.

But only because it's you. Anyone else has to have an "Uncle" or "Mister" in front of the pants.

The 'Mister' was implied... as in, "Mister Pants - bring me the thermonuclear device."

Back in the late Seventies, a friend of mine subscribed to SUPER FRIENDS -- in the name of his cat.
Shortly thereafter, "You have been approved for a credit card" applications began to arrive addressed to "Eustacia J. Pidguin." So apparently MasterCharge and Visa were willing to troll for customers in the subscription rolls of SUPER FRIENDS, way back when mood rings and Skittles were the big advertisers in comics.
For years, the fanciest of the "You have been approved" certtificated was taped to the wall -- low, near the baseboard, just over Eustacia's food dish.

That's hilarious.
I would never give any of my cats credit cards. They'd max it out on cat treats.

You have very nice cats.
My cats have proven capable of military operations and I am quite sure they would be using credit cards to fund their militia.

Does anyone remember that Married with Children episode where Buck ( the dog) got a credit card and Al & Peg went crazy spending on it. I laughed my ass off when Al got busted for using it.

No probs, Sarah. I wasn't "arggh-ing" at you, just the unending mangling of my name. You should see the variations on Koben that my daily mail provides.
Koogan, Koran, Roben, Robin, Korgan, Korben, Korbin, Koban... it never ends.
Try having MY name. I love seeing all the attempts to spell that lovely Norwegian last name I got from my lovely husband. Heh.

When my mom signed up for the grocery store's "club card", she used the name of the cat because she didn't want her name in their database. To her great surprise, she never got any junk mail addressed to the cat.
I use different e-mail addresses to sign up for online business accounts, now that I have my own domain. I want to know if anyone sells my e-mail.

Unscrewed Benefit Update
Unscrewed has announced that their first round of fundraising auction has raised over $1,000. The organizations hopes to raise money for comic creators, including Kurt Busiek, Marv Wolfman, Jamal Igle and Scott Shaw who were harmed by illegal and unethical practices by a would-be publisher. New auctions can be seen at here
I think a correction is in order.

I mean no disrespect to the esteemed Mr. Zarnock when I say this, because honestly Zarnock is a pretty cool last name. Sounds like some kind of outer space emperor. But it seems like the con is drawing real star power now isn't it? :rolleyes:
Mike is famous for having the largest Hot Wheel's collection ever. I can see some intriguing captivating panels coming from that. "okay check this out, you make a ramp out of a piece of cardbord and BOOOOOOOOM! Ye-ah!"
Actually now that I think about it, it'd be a pretty cool panel. :p
make your own Hot Wheels trick tracks. :p

I didn't even look at the link he sent me. I just figured he was like everyone else and just copied and pasted the release I sent out.

Mr. Zarnock has been contacted. I see that he's into charity work. I made sure he was aware Olney is being investigated for charity fraud.

While you guys are at it, you might want to contact the Hero Initiative

Olney has them on his top friends list at myspace. Not that it means anything. But I figured they should be made aware of his dubious practices involving other charities, etc.

Guess what I got in the mail today?
The return receipt for my certified letter that I mailed to Rick Olney last week. It was signed for on the 13th; what day did Dickless change the promo about the Unscrewed glass?

About 3 days ago, by my recollection... ;)
