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

[Dedagda]

Well, you've owed friends of mine money, made very personal insults towards them, and made legal threats towards them.

Much Agreed.

[Gail Simone]

Then why are you looking at me with a smile on your face? We had a wonderful chat that day. A person in the situation that you've described to everyone might smile at the camera ... but you are smiling at ME. Why? I know that it is because you had a great time. Yeah, the motel rooms sucked. But we tried to make up for it.

Because, moron, no one was around with a camera the many, MANY times I opened your emails saying you were going to PAY me 'right away.' Or the time your credit card was rejected after we'd spent hours listening to your pathetic tales of brushes with people ten times more interesting than you. Or when I finally told you to stick the remainder owed up you know where because I was sick of being lied to.

At this point, I was still believing you were a well-meaning idiot, not the lying cheat you've revealed yourself to be.

See? It's easy when it's explained!

Oh, dear God. Here. Let me amend my statement slightly for the ETHICALLY IMPAIRED:

There is NO QUESTION--NONE--that you are MORALLY and ETHICALLY REQUIRED to APOLOGIZE and EXPLAIN YOUR ACTIONS IMMEDIATELY, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, to those who DIDN'T in ANY way "compromise themselves legally" and have nevertheless NOT BEEN PAID FOR SEVERAL MONTHS because YOU have abdicated your contractual obligations.



Really? REALLY? That fucking stampede you hear over the horizon is posters rushing to re-post your flagrant bragging that, golly, you WOULD pay guys, but you're instead WILLFULLY using that money to sue OTHER guys.

I agree. In fact, emails to those talents will begin moving to them tomorrow.
This thread simply complicated matters right down to your very generous offer to cover any lawsuits sent my way, which I'm also figuring covered countersuits. Ever know a lawyer to not want to wait to see it all take shape first?

But it'll all work out.

Most legal matters are not handled by Lionel Hutz, Attorney at Law.

See, everyone, this is exactly the kind of statement that makes me believe that Rick finally DID go and hire himself one o' them big city law-folks, because that's how a lawyer would tell him to respond. Even though, of course, it's completely in opposition to previous statements he's made.

Amazing.

Like you work out in a gym...never.

I don't get the lime green undies part.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out the body language of the middle two people in the picture. They're both leaning forward with their hands clasped in front of them. (caution and protection) Forced smile from Ms. Simone, because that's what you do when someone points a camera at you. Meanwhile, Mr. looks like he wants to deck someone, but is too polite. Plus his wife would kill him.

You put this picture forward as proof that everything was fine three years ago, Rick. Judging by the picture, it wasn't.

(A couple pointers for the future: 1) When you're in charge of the whole shebang, dress appropriately plus 1. T-shirts don't cut it. and 2) Posture! You're "on" at all times!)

As I said, my husband realized something was fishy when Rick lied about paying in advance, then paying when I got there. But he was utterly disgusted by Rick's obnoxious brush-off to the costumed girls. He has no patience for arrogance, and never again trusted a word Rick said.

He's awesome. And a lot less gullible than me.

Mr. Waid,

What exactly do you have for breakfast? I think I need to get myself some.

[Rick Olney]

"Gail" there is an answer for everything. Unfortunately, I don't have any more answers where this thread is concerned. I told you to bring it and you did. Now, unless there is anyone else hiding behind the curtain... Ralph Edwards style, we'll wait to see how this all turns out. As you're probably aware, this thread has been copied and has been evaluated pretty much daily. Not by me, although I took a little chewin' verbally here and there. Thus my efforts to remove my earlier posts.

He had a meeting today.....

Or an attempt to make yourself look less bad, sir.

We all do, TC. We all do.

I was tired. At that time, I was having thyroid trouble off and on. I know some have made fun of my health, but it is as I've spoken of it over the years. Ask Dennis. Or maybe he won't tell you. I don't know. Anyway... you can continue to call me names. It'll work out.
