I’m thinking No Little Plans is trying to out-Starving Artist Starving Artist. And that’s no little feat.
Jerry Sandusky always liked little feet…

So, if the person who was hoping to catch them unprepared is dead, you’re free to tell us your theory now, right?
They’re not just dead, they’re… gone. There is no record of them anywhere. Facebook? Scrubbed. website? eliminated.
*It’s like they never even existed! * :eek:
…is…is…is…is…
Looks like my contact staged his “death” online. Whatever.
Anyway, expect to see a few logs thrown on top of the fire early next week. Should be good.
Re: Paterno rebuttal.
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
Fermat ain’t got jack shit on NLP.
*Why yes, I’m a math geek. Why are you looking at me so funny?
Technology is amazing, isn’t it? In the old days, he’d have had to hide behind his couch to avoid you.
Well I have a contact who has definitive proof of what really happened at Penn State, and just as soon as my friend Godot gets here I’ll be sharing it with all of you.
You guys tease all you want, but when Paterno makes his rebuttal, NLP will have the last laugh.

Yea, what are the odds of two such apologists with such similar styles ending up not just on this message board but in the same thread? Time for me to go back drawing to inside straights.
I was initially suspicious too, until I learned that his claims are fully supported by the scholarly research of one Professor Irving Starkist of the NLP Institute for Media Fairness in Collegiate Sports.
Who, oddly enough, is the reborn Joe Paterno, who had to fake his own death in order to conduct an undercover investigation involving massive amounts of Charmin. Just before he was going to blow the lid off this motherfucker, he was hit by a bus (driven by Graham Spanier), and died. We think.
NLP, your contact who faked his own death - was he an older man who chain smoked cigarettes?
Uhh, huh huh…
Teeheehee…
He said “blow”, huh huh…
Teeheehee, Blow! Teeheehee…

^^ That’s some quality humor right there, most particularly from Vinyl and Hamlet.
My personal guarantee to the good people of StraightDope.com:
We’ll have a lot more stuff to discuss by this time next week. Pertaining specifically to the subject of this thread. At least two stories will make national headlines between this upcoming Friday and Monday.
How significant will they be in redeeming Joe Paterno’s name, you ask? I have no idea. But a couple of big moves are finally ripe and raring to go. I would expect reasonable people (who are unattached to the outcome) to agree that the pedophile-enabling portrayal of Joe Paterno and corresponding punishment of the Penn State football program may have seemed appropriate at the time with limited facts, but now with the benefit of hindsight it looks like a big, reckless rush to judgment – an injustice resulting in irreversible collateral damage for a number of unforeseen parties.
And to prove I’m not FOS, I’ll leave you with two clues for now and I’ll be back sometime next week to verify their authenticity.

Again, I’m not expecting any explosive bombshells of mind-blowing information to detonate. What I am expecting to see is acknowledgement that the polaroid needed more exposure time to develop an accurate image. This will be the product of intelligent people who patiently kept quiet while reconstructing the facts of the case. There will be no grand-standing like we’ve seen from Louis Freeh, Mark Emmert and Linda Kelly, rather they will let the work stand for itself and allow everyone to draw our own conclusions.
When you come back, could you also clear up 14.K.OF.G.IN.A.FPD?
If Sue Paterno appears on a daytime talk show, do you think we will learn anything important?
Though, I will be tickled if Franco Harris manages a second immaculate reception.
