But all these cryptic comments are extremely confusing. Would someone please email me the backstory of the drama?
Otto, I’m not trying to pick on just you here. I would think that with every single one of these threads getting locked instantly, people would take the hint. The mods want us to not discuss this; we’ll hear what they have to say when they’re ready to say it.
What TYM said. If you’re curious, email an Admin.
Otto, less said = better. Check your inbox. Anyone else? Email me.
Otto, I’m sending you an e-mail.
Crap, Lute snuck in a post just before me. I’m not implying I’m an Admin, or have any more knowledge than someone else who happened to read the threads in question.
The Grapist came back.
In one hand, he held the original negatives of the “moon landing”, clearly showing a key grip and a best boy mishandling the “lunar sky” backdrop. In the other, he held transcripts of a telephone conversation between Terrell Owens and God. Apparently TO’s plan to play in the Super Bowl (after God had miraculously healed him) would have blown the lid off God’s plan for us to save ourselves through good works and follwing the Christian example, seeing as it would create a stampede of worshippers and miracle-seekers (not to mention eBay idol-marketers) into churches the world over, causing chaos, forcing the Antichrist to play his hand early, and plunging the world into Tribulation long before anyone was ready.
The Grapist barricaded himself in the offices of the Reader and planned on hijacking the e-mail servers in order to spread the truth in a blinding purple flash of enlightenment.
vanilla, upon hearing about this, and desperate to preserve specific acceptance of Christ as the only way to salvation, hitchhiked to Chicago, picking up Alderaban (who had declared fatwah on TO for blasphemy) on the way (he’s actually from Cincy), and there, at the IT department of the Reader, ensued a standoff of Koreshian proportions.
Every post we now see is actually filtered through the old AOL boards and is being carefully watched by the mods, who have created a sophisticated 'bot that turns any post containing the TRUTH into a disjointed story starring stereotypical renderings of banned members.
There you have it. Ignore me at your peril.
Check your email
so the Truth is in There.
Btw: you never answered my post saying:
My kid loves yer movies… any chance I could order one?
Sure, you can order one of my movies.
The best thing to do would be to go to your local video store and ask the friendly helpful clerk if he has it in stock.
If he doesn’t, I’m sure he’d be more than happy to include it in his next order. An extra-super-helpful clerk will do so on the spot.
Good luck. it’s always nice to hear from a fan.
Looks like Otto is getting a lot of email.
I sent one too. Anyone else who’d like email, mine’s in my profile.
Hell yeah, catsix, hook me up. Weren’t we just talking about keeping in touch?
For those who are wondering, it really did go down exactly as Happy Scrappy described. Except for the parts that didn’t.
Sent to Maeglin.
hey, for those spreading the news, send to me too…
I jest want to see if it’s all accurate 
Keeping it off the boards is exactly why I requested email.
Thanks to everyone who emailed. I’m at work and can’t check it but I suspect I’ll be in for some interesting reading when I get home.
One more please, thanks much!
I’ll also e-mail anyone. I hope you don’t mind that I’m sending pretty much the same text to everyone-it’s easier that way.
Me too please? I wanna be in “The Know”!
Yeah, Guin, I’m pretty much forwarding the same email I composed for Otto.
Tried not to take sides and just relate the events I saw.
