Who Killed Richard Swink?

Who Killed Richard Swink?
"(I want to see SD meltdown over that!...hehehehhehehe)" It's gonna take a LOT more than SP's evil giggle, but it is altogether possible: Just as soon as I see a visual of SurfPuppy's REAL girlfriend--without her face obscured by the doggy bowl. :) Obvious reason why Fred is wrong about Czech women being more beautiful, etc. etc. than other women of the world, and in particular, American women: Because we have much diversity of type and flavor of folk, the chances of finding your type in our major metropoli--physically and otherwise--is exponentially multiplied. Unless you are... a). socially and/or sexually maladjusted, and cannot handle such diversity b). happen to prefer the less diverse look, etc. of the Czech woman as a matter of convenience, because your banal travel IT job takes you to them. PS: Fred, it's a courageous online boast--you are just one in a sea of travelers and expats with the right to opine about it all :)— October 30, 2009 1:16 p.m.

Cuddle, I did not miss your apology. I just didn't think we all needed to follow suit. You had your play and some of us have had ours--gentle, fun, creative play on a new blog idea. Yes, I saw the comment stating that Mr. Campos spoke to the editor--how do we know any of this is true? Passions are high, so I tend not to immediately believe everything I hear--especially since TAM had to turn on a special voice to try and soothe Mr. Campos's upset sister--whom he upset. Board is an ass with no ability to empathize with others, and with bad judgement with cameras too, apparently; but I honestly can't say I know what is going on here--can you? Certainly a lawsuit has been invoked--how trustworthy does that seem to you? It all does seem distasteful--I agree with Mr. Campos's sister-- and really, not my business. I'll try to resist flitting back to this thread, since I don't as a rule post on Board's threads anyway, and was so excited by the prospect of a fumber blog that I literally forgot I was ON a Boar-ing thread!— October 30, 2009 11:52 a.m.

Look, anyone entering these threads, ESPECIALLY Josh Board's threads, needs to understand that they do go off topic--or rather, to various topics. It is characteristic--nay! de rigeur-- of this publication and of these forums, and it stimulates creative thinking, in my opinion. I don't think anyone needs to apologize or feel rude for doing what we always do. Cuddle dear, you took it WAYYY off topic last night, when you felt the need. That doesn't make you any different from anyone else here with another burning issue. If you think Josh is going to come back and politely discuss all of this with TAM and co., you've probably got a long wait. He probably isn't allowed to return to this thread at the moment, while Daddy Holman figures out what's best. Speaking of long waits and daddy knowing best, think I'll go wait in another blog line. ;)— October 30, 2009 11:14 a.m.

"If you can't stay on topic, step outta the ring boys. By TAM" ++++++++++++++++++++ Uh, why? You mean YOUR topic, TAM? No, Cuddle, TAM is being rude now. S/he wants to convince us all that Josh Board took an illegal video of a party. Clearly, I am not Josh Board's biggest fan (cough, ahem), but sorry--the camera issue does smack of the petty and the litigious. Mr. Campos's own sister wrote in to request a cease and desist due to a bad taste from it all, while others variously claim degrees of concern (approaching hysterical, with one poster) on Mr. Campos's part. My bet? He doesn't know about any of this, and likely doesn't need to know. So talk to your lawyer, TAM--why do you need to continue to remind everyone here? What exactly do you think we can do for you? Meanwhile, we are discussing the important issue of whether or not our friend Fumbler may decide to write a column for us. It may not seem like much to you, TAM, but some of us can use all the laughs we can get right now. Good luck to you.— October 30, 2009 10:19 a.m.

Hey Fred, for what it's worth, I happen to agree with most of what you say, but still thought I should point out that your misogyny slip is showing again...and it ain't on the hood of your car, either: "... and easier to get along with than the typical American woman who has been indoctrinated into a bitter mentality of victimhood." Spoken like a truly urbane citizen of the world-—NOT. Sounds like you still SPEAK Amurrican, though… Yikes! That IS a problem--When you stop foaming at the mouth, are European women kind enough to offer to put a pencil in it, so you don't accidentally bite off your own tongue?— October 30, 2009 9:43 a.m.

Puppy, focus! This is some serious dealing, here. Help come up with an enticing name for Fumbler's column.— October 30, 2009 8:49 a.m.

I'm sure you've considered starting a neighborhood blog while we are waiting on the ok for your new column, "Fumber's Fault-o-Rama." I don't know about the others, but I'd soooo sign a readership contract. ;)— October 30, 2009 8:16 a.m.
