I just want it to be known that I am declaring this person, Pimpster, a fraud. All his claims, of education and employment, are vague at best and easily figured out as carbon copies of bits and pieces of info taken from news stories such as this [Redirect Notice](http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CBYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Farticles.cnn.com%2F2011-01-28%2Fus%2Fsiu.selling.the.girl.backpage_1_adult-services-section-underage-girls-ad-site%3F_s%3DPM%3AUS&ei=WH1RTvuVLeXf0QGk_JH5Bg&usg=AFQjCNFfxULO_H1RGDQS7P4AMUKEl5tw9g) and a little basic knowledge of internet goings-on in the “sex trade world” (which isn’t that hard to find out).

He is one of the most flimsy bullshitters I have seen in quite some time. If you are going to say you had a perfect 4.0 graduating grade point average from Syracuse University, the _least_ you could do is back that up with a coherent answer when asked what type of degree you left with. Or spell “many” or “college” correctly. I could go on picking apart details of his crap but why bother?

He was just ordered to refrain from talking about his profession by **Idle Thoughts** [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14165468&postcount=39), so the problem should be taken care of one way or another very soon.

This pitting would be far more interesting if the pimp poseur, whatever his name is, had done something more interesting than misspell a bunch of words. Like, if he parked in a handicapped spot or something.

He may have ridden his bike on the sidewalk once.

Well, the authorities are on the way, then.

It should be noted that while “pimpmobile” is in the top 10 list of Bender’s most frequently uttered words, that “pimpster” is not. Therefore, if Bender doesn’t acknowledge you, then you’re nothing, baby!

Darn. I would have asked how many times in a day he uses the word “upside” as in “don’t make me go upside your head!”

You’re assuming that’s actually his profession.

I also agree he’s a fraud. And uneducated. I know people with dyslexia who spell better than he does (maybe because they’ve discovered spellchecker). Hey, I went to an art college, and anyone that incoherent wasn’t likely to get in the door because, you know, degrees have _requirements_, like minimal fluency in a language.

Yes, that always makes for an entertaining thread… 😛

Sorry, I left out the air quotes. FTR, I do not actually assume that it’s his profession.

See, that’s one phrase where if you spelled it “collage” it would totally alter the meaning.

Well, hope springs eternal. He might diss fat people before his upcoming ban.
