First off, you people are so sweet for what you said, and I’m sorry that someone has taken advantage of your kindness.
Secondly, somebody did some serious homework on me and you’ve been had. I’ve been reading through both posts and would like to clarify. It’s first thing in the morning for me, and not the way I like to start a Monday, so if I put in any bad links, please tell me and I’ll try to find the correct one.
First about Boo Boos Tigress’s thread. She didn’t just call me and hang up. We talked she told me what the boards said.
About me not responding. I don’t post everyday. I post from work, I have said this many times here in the thread. Yesterday there was a Cardinals game on during work hours and I was listening to that while trying to correct the firewall problem. In short - no one could have sent a post from my building yesterday from the hours of about 7:00am (before I got to work) until about 6:00pm (2 hours after I left work) because the firewall was blocking anything trying to leave the building.
Odz Bodkin "My name is Mark and I’m a friend of Ron - who you all know as BratMan007. I work with Ron and his brother-in-law Jim. In fact we were both groomsmen when Jim married Ron’s sister so I’ve known him even since before he started working here. "
I’ve said my name here a few times and you only have to click on my sig line to see my name right there over a pic of me with my modd jacket on. If you then go to the home page of where the mood jacket picture comes from and start looking around, you come up with the name of my brother0in0law, the name of my sister, the name of Jim’s brother (Dave), and the name of the other groomsman - Mark. Although Mark was actually the best man, Dave and I were the groomsmen.
Interestingly enough, you also get the name Jimmy Bodkin there. Mark and Bodkin are both names on Jim’s home page.
bodkin says - “at the hospital where his sister works as a nurse so he’s getting extra special treatment from her nurse friends. Remember Rachel - the nurse he tried to impress and ended up getting electrocuted? I would post a link but I don’t know how - she’s there along with two other bridesmaids from the wedding”
This information can be gotten RIGHT HERE. Btw, I also mention in this thread that I work with my brother-in-law. Also in the female Newbie Check-in thread I made reference to my sister being a nurse. BTW - 'two other bridesmaids" implies Rachel was a bridesmaid. The bridesmaids were Lynda, Linda, and Theresa, no Rachels as you can see in this link.
By the way, hell of a coincidence that I would be taken (unconsious I presume) exactly to the hospital my sister works and even doubly lucky to be on a floor where all her friends work!
I have numerous Monty Python references, even allowing Monster104 (sorry if I got the # wrong) to grope a waitress in the Staight Dope town thing just because he made a Holy Grail reference.
As you can see from Edmonds isn’t a starter! and the Baseball Thread I am a Cardinal fan. which he makes refernce to as my second thought.
Bodkin says - “The Brat or Bigfoot are his official nicknames. Brat came from his sister because of his smart ass attitude and Bigfoot was his Air Force callsign because he’s 5’10” but wears a size 12 or 13 - depending on the cut of the shoe."
All BS here. My ‘official’ nickname is Chip or Chipper which I’ve had since before I could walk. I was intelligence in the Air Force, not a pilot, and didn’t have a callsign. I wear a size 11 shoe. He did, amazingly, get my height right. Of course 5’10" pretty average, huh?
To top it all off in an early thread of mine annoying coworkers I say that the person who sits next to me is “Ervin, who isn’t all that bad, but he constantly looks over my shoulder to see what I’m doing on the computer.” Again, his name is Ervin, not Mark.
As for a previous accident I was in I said “When I was in the AF with only 5 months to go till my discharge, I was in a car accident that hyperextended my right knee, broke my left leg, three ribs, my left arm, and I hit my head so hard I’m supposed to wear glasses now (although I usually don’t – I see well enough without them, my left eye is 20/20, the right eye is 20/70). Needless to say, I didn’t get much excercise for a while, being in a wheelchair, then crutches, then having to do physical therapy and using a cane. (All better now, though).” in Rachelle’s thread. Notice also that I say the reason I wear glasses is my right eye is 20/70, and there is no mention of loss of peripheral vision, as Bodkin claims.
It seems Odz Bodkin has done a bit of research on me. It took me approximately 50 minutes to find all this info on the boards after Tigress called me, and that’s while trying to do my job. The rest seems to be BS and I haven’t seen anything here that isn’t incorrect, outright lies, or can’t be gotten off the boards or the home page.
Please post here or email me with any questions. I am fine and I’m sorry that someone has decided to take advantage of everyone’s good nature here. And Bodkin, if I ever find out who you are IRL . . . I swear to God, if this were only the Pit! Tigress called me three times this morning. She is extremely upset and I had to calm her down from the point of crying twice. I think I can safely say you are the biggest prick I’ve ever encountered.
