Bullet Proof Weave

2009-02-21T13:54:00.000-08:00

So this chick got shot in the head -- and lived -- because her cheap-ass red wine-colored weave stopped the bullet!

This story is tragic in it's beginning, yet a totally hilarious end result.

I can't help but wonder if she paid as much for the weave as I did for my ballistic vest?

The Holy Octopus Oobu

2009-02-11T13:48:00.000-08:00

Being a Baptist and pretty much a life long Christian, I just had to laugh at the website for Tarvuism. The rolling laughter started with the suggestion that Tarvuism is "So easy to join" and began to grow in leaps and bounds the farther I delved into the "Largest" religion on this planet. or, at least in Universe B.

Facebook

2009-02-11T13:27:00.001-08:00

My Aunt got everybody in the family involved in the Facebook craze and I have been so busy swapping pictures of yesterday with my cousins that I have forgotten to post much over here. Not that I think many people read this shit.

Facebook is pretty is pretty cool compared to Myspace, which I find rather juvenile, but as a colleauge in South Africa mentioned, I also get a lot of "friends" requests from people that I either barely know or have never heard of before. I also don't get some of the apps that Facebook has such as Mob Wars and I certainly don't have time for some of the 25 randoms things that are rolling around.

Overall though, it's rather easy to update, add photos and navigate without having to listen to a bunch of crappy music. So, if you know me and want to add me on Facebook, find me.

She needs more friends to make her look legit, so if you want to help me out,

add her to your friends list.

It Was 50 Years Ago Today...

2009-02-02T16:06:00.000-08:00

With the words of the Beatles and the immortal song of Don McLean, it was 50 years ago today that the music died. Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly all died in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa enroute from Mason City as part of the "Winter Dance Party".

As a fan of all 3 musicians and the genre they inspired, this is truly a day to remember.

Shotgun Shell Flash Drive

2009-02-01T18:19:00.001-08:00

So, I'm reading Instructables.com last November and saw a flash drive set into an eraser and got the idea to sink one into a 12 gauge shotgun shell.

I cut the top off the shell and removed the shot, powder, wadding and all, then taped a marble to the bottom and threw it in the road to fire the primer. I then filled the shell with liquid nails and set the drive inside.

I sent this version to my brother for Christmas and have a slew of idears (idears is a word my brother and I use for projects) for many more. My son saw this project and made his own cool Lego thumb drive.

New Math

2009-01-21T08:43:00.001-08:00

Schools are finally starting to teach practical math that these kids can actually use in real-world, every day situations! It's about time! Here's an example of one of their math tests.

NAME____________________

GANG/CREW NAME______________

CRIB_________________

1. Ramon has an AK-47 with a 200-round clip. He usually misses 6 of every 10 shots and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting. How many mofos can Ramon ice on a drive-by before he gotta reload?

2. Leroy has 2 ounces of cocaine. If he sells an 8 ball to Antonio for $320 and 2 grams to Juan for $85 per gram, what be the street value of the rest of his shit?

3. Dwayne pimps 3 ho's. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Dwayne's $800 per day Crack habit?

4. Raul wants to cut the pound of cocaine he bought for $40,000 to make 20% profit. How many ounce bags will he need to make to gets the 20% upside?

5. Desmond gets $2000 for a stolen BMW, $1500 for stealing a Corvette, and $1000 for a 4 x 4. If he steals 1 BMW, 2 Corvettes and 3 4x4's, how many more Corvettes must he steal to make the 10k for his brother's bail?

6. Pedro got 6 years for murder. He also got $10,000 for the hit. If his common-law wife spends $100 of his hit money per month, how much money will be left when he gets out?

7. If an average can of spray paint covers 22 square feet and the average letter is 3 square feet, how many letters can be sprayed with three 8 oz. cans of spray paint with 20% paint left over?

8. Tyrone knocked up 4 girls in the gang. There be 20 girls in his gang. What be the percentage of bitches Tyrone knocked up?

9. LaShaunda is a lookout for the gang. LaShaunda also has a Boa Constrictor that eats 5 rats per week and a cost of $5 per rat. If LaShaunda makes $700 a week as a lookout, how many weeks can she feed her snake with one week's income?

10. Marvin steals Juan's skateboard. As Marvin skates away at 15mph, Juan loads his 357 Magnum piece. If it takes Juan 20 seconds to load his piece, how far away will Marvin be when he gets whacked?

A Dave Omelet - A Dave Day

2009-01-16T09:52:00.000-08:00

I woke up this morning and the thermometer read a whopping 9 degrees. I made coffee, let the cat out, he seems to enjoy this weather, and decided to scrap any plans for outside work. I grabbed a quick shower, read the paper over two cups of coffee and 3 smokes and decided to make everyone breakfast.

Bacon is cooking now, I've chopped up some Black Forrest ham, onions, green peppers and jalapenos. I bought some excellent sharp cheddar the other day that I am grating up now, the pepper jack is next. Someone gave me a new omelet pan for Christmas, so I am going to try it out, though I prefer to make one in the cast iron pan.

Once the omelet is done, I'll put some salsa on top, plate it up with the bacon and some fried potatoes and feed everyone in front of the fire in the living room (for those that don't know, the Two Story Double Wide has 6 fireplaces).

The forecast is calling for us to remain with freezing temps for the next 3 days and snow on Sunday.

I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of cooking over the long weekend.

This freak decides that $16,000, 150 cases of beer, 150 cases of soda and Gatorade, and several cases of wine and meat was a good deal for his daughter. He only went to police when he didn't receive his payment. Should have hire a recovery agent. Could have kicked the morons ass before calling the cops.

At least there is a prison in the town he lives in.

Man Shoots Lawn Mower

2008-07-26T15:12:00.000-07:00

I'll be damned if I haven't want to do this to my old mower a few times.

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.
Keith Walendowski told police he felt he had a right to shoot his mower.

Keith Walendowski told police he felt he had a right to shoot his mower.

Keith Walendowski has been charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski says he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning.

He told police: "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She says he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered

Shoe Fetish?

2008-07-22T08:50:00.000-07:00

I noticed this morning that I am missing a shoe. They come in pairs and now I only have one. I wore them on Sunday, so I know they were here two days ago. They were sitting on the sun porch at the back door with about 30 other pairs of shoes.

These are not special shoes. They are brown McClain wingtips and I have grown rather fond of them in the 3 years I have had them.

Who in the hell steals one shoe? The back door is open during the day, but locked at night and guarded by motion sensor alarms and an IR camera. My wife and son swear they are not screwing with me and I have searched everywhere for it.

I want my fucking shoe back!

I am trying to switch this blog over to Wordpress and have to do so manually. I get as far as running the install after setting up the db in MySQL and keep getting a 404 not found error.

I have been using WP for the News section of The American Repossessor and really like the way it looks and the ease of use.

I am going to delete all and reinstall it one more time. I am sure I am just placing a period or a slash in the wrong spot, but I'll be damned if I can find the error in any of the code.

Mr. Branch,
I am writing to ask if you could add this to your blog. Randy Dimwitty has slandered me for the last time, without me acting. So far, he has not damaged my name, in any way. However, I am tired of hearing about it. While looking up info on him I found your blog and read some usful information that I wish I had found a few months ago. I feel that if you could add this, it may help to keep others from making the same mistakes, so many others have.... dealing with Randy.

I started out simply asking what a $30 membership to AllBounty would get those that paid it. This is the thread from there:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What am I paying for when I pay $30, then? I have paid for many listings, in several places and never had results. On the other hand, I have gotten free listings and received most of my referred work from them. Don't get me wrong, on my next statement, I enjoy the people here and I am not looking to leave. However, there are so few people here that many will not see my listing, where hundreds, if not thousands see a lot of the free listings. So that leaves "being here"... that is not an incentive for me to spend one dime. I come to the forums to associate with like-minded people, to pass information on to others, and receive information. I can do that with the thousands, I mentioned...for free. I cannot accept taking funds out of my household to "get the ability to be here". I hoped that the explanation I wrote before would have gotten a business minded person to see the light. Today’s economy does not allow most people, to spend on non-essentials. Without the strong possibility of a mass return, this can't be expected from the average, actively working Bail persons. Without a membership in quad digits, this return will not be possible. Its a catch 22, I know, but I just don't believe this was thought out in the long term or else there would be several posts being made per day, there would be more useful subjects on the boards, and there would be many more members....active members, at that. Just attempting to point out a few of the down falls to this idea.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have to disagree, Randy. I have received more work from "free forum" contacts than I have from any method I have paid for. That makes these places very productive, in my eyes. And I have done it all... aside from posting billboards and putting my company name in neon. I have tried Yellow Page adds, Business Cards, T-Shirts, Coffee Cups, Hats, Presentation Booklets (that I sent to every company within 80 miles of my office), so on and so forth. The best references I have received came from "free" means of communication. The same with referred work..."Free". So I definitely have to stand by the old adage "The best form of advertising is word of mouth advertising". The best places to get that word out are places that have more ears to listen. That would be the places that are free.

(Added on Wed Apr 23 2008, 09:05AM)
I thought about this, last night, after posting the above and I do not mean to be offensive. I only have questions, as a business owner about what is going on with this entire subject (Randy, we have talked about my other business's and I am very good at what I do because I am very careful, when it comes to business)...

I feel the need to remind some that this idea, subject, (whatever you want to call it) has come up in the past. Many members have been lost because of decisions to charge for forum membership. That may not be a sound business decision. Especially when you factor in a recession. Gas and milk are both at $4/gallon... massive home foreclosures... world wide food riots... do you really think now is the time to ask the average, working class BEA, Repo Personnel, or Bonding Agent for hard earned money, when it's all anyone can do to feed their families and pay their monthly bills ? I am sorry; I just don't see when, where, or how this is going to benefit me. Taking more money out of my household, having no advertising guarantee, and not getting anything substantial on my returns (discounts on insurance, cars, equipment, ect.) I realize that it will get us an open door to the UARA (I apologize...it gets us a discount into UARA), but what does that mean? Now days, every one wants to run an organization...NIBE, NABEA, NEA, PBUS, TAPBA, GAPBA, etc…and now you have UARA...What exactly will this organization or this forum do for us...? Will you get us discounts on goods and service's... rental cars, air flights, hotels, etc..? I don't know about anyone else, but I don't just spend money to get rid of it. I have to receive a good or service that is worth the expense. In today’s economy, I cannot part with ANY money that doesn't return.... at least, 3 fold. Just like I won't run a search on a subject file, when the client has asked to pay a discount...I will only check the addresses from the file. That keeps my overhead down, and I explain that to the bondsman. I figure, if they want my full services, they will pay my full price. If they only want to pay 50%, they get 50% of my service. The difference is, I make sure they know the benefits they are paying for, in advance. If they still don't pay, that’s their decision… but it doesn’t mean I kick their account to the curb. So, what are the services being offered, here? Is it something that I can't get anywhere else? If I can get it elsewhere, is it less expensive here? Bottom line...what are the benefits to paying for AllBounty and/or UARA?

There is no free lunch Scott, you know that as well as I. If you are expecting it free forever you will need to go to those sites that offer that. Period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You have attempted this before. By now you should realize that the sites that make it are the ones that have their sponsors paying those costs. I know of very few that make it requiring the members to pay these costs. The ones that do make it, only do so, by barely squeaking by. You are correct, there are no free lunches. I pay on other sites, along with others, by contributing to the subject matter and sending out business referrals to others, that do the same. These sites are truly free, to its members. I have never paid, never been asked to pay, nor will I pay these sites or their owners. Asking for payments and/or contributions when the surrounding market is free to members...that is site suicide.

I will continue dropping in.... I am not looking to leave. I will continue this until I am removed. Because of the payments that have been requested, and my refusal to comply, I am not contributing with posts. After all, why would I risk loosing my words, ideas, and industry tricks when the final day to pay, comes? I have written freely in the past but once I am gone, those words will be left, and that wouldn't be fair. I cannot continue to help build a forum, with my words, that is eventually going to kick people out, have no one contributing, and most likely go under. Others have obviously come to the same conclusion...look at the lack of posts and the requests for removal of membership. Other than the chat box, it can be days between posts, in the forum. That’s not the best for promoting an active, professional site. I don’t believe this has been looked at with a business mind. This is where the wants and needs of customers, clients, and members should come into play. Without these people…there is no site to run and own.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3126 visitors so far this month.... We are still above average on site visits. The only thing we have lost is the free loaders.

I dont have a problem with you disagreeing, but I have to agree to disagree. There is no free lunch in life. Pay for things that matter and drop the things that dont. If you dont find value here then you have no one stopping you from leaving.

"Pay for things that matter and drop the things that don’t"... if you could give me a straight answer on what it is that is supposed to make this site matter, I might feel different. As of now, I feel the same as I did when you first mentioned charging for membership. There will be no return on that investment, and you aren't explaining why that will change.

I have made every attempt to remain professional and get you to realize that what you are asking for is not a smart business decision or proper business etiquette, but since you have now struck out at me twice, telling me to leave and not answered me professionally, I will lower myself to your level. Maybe you will be able to answer this.

Is that the way things are done in business???...."If you don't agree with my outlook, LEAVE." I have owned (and still own) more successfully, professional businesses than most have ever-even visit. If I were to ever hear of this type of "managerial decision" being made in one of my companies.... heads would roll. We will agree to disagree. Now that you are attempting to offend me with comments like "you have no one stopping you from leaving." and "If you are expecting it free forever you will need to go to those sites that offer that" then I will rebuttal with.... no free lunches??? Then pay for your own site. Don't ask me or any other member to pay. Don't use people for their money and then kick them out of the forum when they stop sending you checks (Like Bob AKA BHB).

The free loaders are the ones that allow someone to pay the bills they create and then get offended when the free ride stops. I have never asked for or received anything from your sites with out working for it, so that comment cannot be directed at me, however it is directed at some people that I find useful, knowledgeable, and that I call friend. None of the people that you have ever directed this type of comment at, in the past, has ever received anything from your site (I talk to these people and know both sides of the story). The same cannot be said for this site. It has received much in the way of free handouts and as soon as that stops these people get kicked off the site. The greatest assets you have ever had have been run off. The people that could do more for you than you could ever do for them...get deleted if they disagree or stop sending you money.

There may be a ton of visits to the site but there is no return on that. Not one person, whom I have spoken to, has gotten a call off of the reference of this site. Visits mean nothing without results. I can visit the home page of 100 web sites a day. That gets no one paid and it gets no one any work. So telling us how many visitors there are doesn't tell anything about our own business or its growth. I don't understand why you get so hung up on these numbers. They prove nothing.

I know your next step. Your pattern is to delete anyone that disagrees or steps up...Go ahead. That will just prove my point. Some are meant to be business owners and industry leaders. Others are best suited for keeping a JOB, and they prove this by the decisions and the comments they make. These people are probably better suited to be a construction worker, or delivery person for the food industries (maybe even Schwanns; you know where you work), or maybe even a door greeter at some chain store. I never meant to offend anyone but all the talk of money and payments and freeloaders and being told twice that I could leave.... the worst part is I know your story. The pot calling the kettle black is no way to win people over. I can't take any more of the backstabbing, name bashing, and unfair treatment of those that either can't defend themselves (mainly because they have been kicked off this forum) or the ones that just won't. I'll do it for them. That’s who I am. That’s what I do. I hope this shows others who they are truly dealing with, in you. Any questions…feel free to contact me. Otherwise, I am done with these childish actions. Do, as you will.

I attempted to reply with this message but was denied access.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I knew that you would delete my posts. That’s your MO. That is why I have copied this thread...just in case I wanted any of it, later. OK, I'll play your game, now.

Could you please answer my questions without the offensive remarks about free loaders, leaving, or any other useless information? I have explained my point of view, which has been met with nothing but negativity, but of course, then that negativity gets deleted and/or edited. Please explain why anyone should pay, with there being nothing returned to his or her business. Explaining what costs you incur, does not explain this. How does t-shirts, bumper stickers, a racecar, a new blimp, the brand new exotic cruise liner “SS AllBounty’, or any of this help the members? I believe this only helps one person…and it’s not the forum members. I can bet that none of the active forum members have asked you to do this. Besides, you had stated (before it was deleted) that there are no free lunches.... then why are you asking people to pay to be members. You state that you have all these expenses...but “there are no free lunches, Randy”. Why would anyone want to pay YOUR expenses, which YOU incur, in conjunction with YOUR site? There are no free lunches… so pay for it or have your sponsors counter some of these costs. They are the only ones gaining from this site, not the members. Last, please explain why you speak negativity and then delete it before it is seen by anyone but when I do, I get threatened with being kicked out. And please explain why when I speak fact and good business practice my posts get deleted. Others may want to learn from my comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep…he deleted me before I got to reply. Why give the warning and then not allow me to respond, PROFESSIONALLY? And the above post was more professional; with no…what did he call it…”Smack talk”. But, this is what it says “The website declined to show this webpage”

PART 11

Fourth of July 1989

2008-02-12T10:40:00.000-08:00

It was the summer of 1989 and I was working in Myrtle Beach cleaning a motel's pool twice a day in exchange for a small apartment in the rear, that I shared with the maintenance man. I had met this chick from Canada and we ran together while she was on vacation there. When she left, she invited me up to Toronto and a few days later, I was there.

After a week hanging with her and checking out Toronto, We went to see The Who on July 3rd. A very cool show right by the shores Lake Ontario. The next morning I woke up and told her I was leaving. I was leaving for only one reason.

I made my way into downtown Toronto and caught a bus for Buffalo. After a brief hassle at the border, I made it to the station in buffalo and it was packed with Dead Heads. I bought a ticket for that night's show for $20 and a ride in the back of a pick up to Orchard Park and Rich Stadium for $5.

10,000 Maniacs opened up the show and at the end of their set, I started working my way toward the stage. By the time the Dead took the stage, I was hanging on it in the front row. They opened with Bertha, the video above. I had snuck in a disposable camera and got some excellent close ups of the whole band. Of my 20+ shows, this was by far the best.

At the end of the first set, they played Looks Like Rain and almost on que, it began to drizzle. I started peaking during the intermission and the 2nd set was just as awesome. Closed with a long US Blues that was common for the Fourth of July.

I hung out in the lot for a few hours later and caught a ride back to NC from a couple that was headed to Florida.

Good Times!

Weapon of the Week

2007-09-11T10:27:00.000-07:00

THE "CORNER SHOT 40"

With all the firepower available to the U.S. military today, sometimes besting your enemy comes down to one basic question: Will you see him before he sees you? If you're Superman and have X-ray vision, maybe it isn't so much of a problem, but in many situations, we're still limited by what we can see with our own two eyes.

Corner Shot Holdings, LLC, an American Israeli company, has tackled the problem with a unique solution: the Corner Shot, a weapon system that provides the ability to observe and engage a target from behind a corner. In other words, it allows you to see and shoot around corners without exposing yourself to deadly return fire by the badguys. Designed and developed by Corner Shot's CEO, Amos Golan, Corner Shot attaches to most top-tier semi-auto and select-fire pistols, like the Glock 17/18/19, SIG Sauer P226/228, Browning Hi-Power, and Beretta M9/92F/M93R, which are currently being employed by military Special Operations Forces units, anti-terrorism/counterterrorism units, PMC operators, and law enforcement SWAT/SRT teams around the world.

The Corner Shot made its debut in late 2003, but recently it's been given a bit more oomph - to the tune of a 40mm grenade launcher. Meet the Corner Shot 40™ Personal Grenade Launcher (PGL), which gives military Spec-Operators and private military company (PMC) operators the ability to go 40 mike-mike on the bad guys from around the corner while conducting urban warfare and counterinsurgency operations -- quite a step up from your NATO Standard 9mm Parabellum (9x19mm) pistol and submachine gun ammo.

My Blog...

2007-09-11T09:39:00.000-07:00

Yeah, yeah, I know my last post was about posting more here, but after spending 10 hours a day working on the computer, I have little time for the other aspects of my life.

Yet, here on the sixth anniversary of September 11, 2001, I was looking at the statistics for this blog and discovered that the vast majority of my visitors are coming from the Middle East and coming in on military ISP's. Tracking where they go on this blog reveals that they are hitting the "Armed Babe's of the Week" by a majority and "Gun of the Week" not far behind.

I have Adopted a Sniper and sent Snakes to Troops and have filled a few (not as many as I intended to) shoe boxes with socks,fruit roll ups and other stuff.

So, if the boy's in the Sand Box enjoy what I have been posting, here comes a shit load more. I have placed a note on my monitor to remind myself to post everyday.

Motivation

2007-07-20T04:16:00.000-07:00

I have been up all night trying to get the magazine finished and I couldn't get to sleep. After reading a few dozen news sites, I stumbled across a blog of a young Marine Sgt. and after reading for awhile, I found myself motivated to get back on my own blog and leave the mag alone for a few hours. Plus I found this picture of her and I was hooked.

Sorry for stealing your pic Sarge, I mean Ma'am. A good looking woman and a .50 make me weak in the knees.

Do yourself a favor and check out her blog.

Interested parties should email me at Dave@davebranch.com

Be sure to add "Domain" in your subject line and make an offer. I will accept any decent offer.

How Stupid Can One Man Be?

2007-05-08T16:15:00.000-07:00

Okay, I have a magazine and a website dealing with the repossession of defaulted collateral published for an industry who makes a living on making such recoveries. No recovery, no money, right? Well, the last thing that I would ever write and publish would be a "How to" segment telling a defaulted debtor how to either hide or surrender their collateral. That would not be very intelligent now would it? That would be taking the food right out of my fellow repossessor's mouth.

Not Randy Dinwiddie! His Allbounty website, which is geared towards Bail Enforcement has this statement, telling those who have an outstanding warrant how to turn themselves in.

"You can run, But I will find you" Proper steps for surrender
Go to your local Sherriffs department with your ID and tell them that you have an outstanding warrant and you want to take care of it

Give jailor a bail agent business card and tell the jailor that this is the bondsman responsible for the bond not honored. This way information gets to the bondsman to stop the pursuit and tracing procedures

Many times people are simply affraid of losing the control of their life on arrest and jail. If you are reasonable with the people that have to make a decision about you, they are more suseptable to be lenient on you for your case. It will be one of the hardest things you will ever do, but it takes a person of character to meet his challenges head on and plead your case

Running is not what this country stands for, either be military or independant person. Do the right thing and KARMA will take care of the rest

Outstanding! Tell the fugitives to just turn themselves in and screw the agent out of his fee for catching you. Brilliant!

As usual, Randy will read this and remove it from his site. All of you BEA's can thank me later for this service.

Totally Confused?

2007-05-04T09:32:00.000-07:00

I would just like to know what is going thru Dimwittie's mind when he makes posts like this on his website:

"30% of all moneys collected will go into the UARA meeting in 2008 scheduled for Central Colorado."

And just a paragraph below, I see this:

"Be absolutely sure to get registered for the 2008 United Association of Recovery Agents Convention located in exciting Las Vegas Nevada"

Check it out for yourself here.

Is it in Colorado, or Vegas or has our errant character become confused? They say it's hard for a liar to keep all their stories together. Is this the case?

[Dave's Note] Of course Randy is my most prolific reader and changed his site to cancel the Vegas Convention. That's twice you have crapped out on the Bellagio Mac.

Oh Yeah

2007-05-03T10:16:00.000-07:00

In the last line, Dimwittie writes:

"I am legally bound to send you this warning statement MAC"

When was the last time someone called another man Mac? What, is this guy living in a fucking James Cagney movie or what? "See. hold it right there Mac or plug ya full of lead, see". I spilled my damn coffee when I read that. Now he owe's me $6.50 for a new desk blotter on top of the $200.00.

I think all of this stems from Dimwittie putting Da Kine Bail Bonds on his site as a supporter. Duane "The Dog" Chapman didn't take too Da Kindly to Randy using their name without permission when I spoke to them.

Randy, just pay me my $206.50 and leave me alone and go live in your gangster movie world. I'll even give you that domain as a prize for not being a dead beat.

What a Clown

2007-05-03T09:17:00.000-07:00

So, I get my mail this morning and what do I see but a Cease and decist order from Randy Dimwittie. Fuck dude, if you are going to threaten someone with legal action, learn how to spell desist. As my Brother pointed out, the first line is very funny.

" I am not playing with you anymore". What does that mean? I keep winning and now your gonna tell? The funniest part of the whole email is that I don't know what he is talking about. I could care less about his forums, but from what I have seen from them, they are not very popular and he has them for sale anyway.

Anyway, to the main point, call the FBI and tell them what a loser you are. If reporting the truth is a crime, I am sure they or someone else will contact me.

BTW...www.theuara.com is still for sale if you want it. You can have it for the $200.00 you have owed me since last summer on that Chevy Caprice locate.

2007-03-06T16:54:00.000-08:00

I spent $7.00 Monday before last and it has kept me laughing ever since. Best 7 bucks I have spent in a while.

A little bird called me and told me that Randy Dinwiddie (whom most of you know worships the ground I walk on) was launching a new website. I kept watching it being built and he finally got it online on Monday, the 26th of February. I went to take a look at it in the morning it came out and noticed that he mentioned that everyone should be on the lookout for his other new site www.theuara.com. I guessed that it was to promote his association, the UARA. I don't know why, but I looked up theuara.com on whois.net.

I discovered that the url was unregistered and wasted no time going to GoDaddy and buying the domain. Once I had the domain registered, I went and put in some redirect code so that when you clicked the link on Randy's site, it took you right to The American Repossessor magazine.

I told several people about it and it was good for some laughs to have Randy's site linking to my mag. He figured it out, or someone told him and the link disappeared sometime last Saturday.

No, I am not going to promote his new site by posting the name or link to it.

And Randy, I'll give you that domain for free if you just pay me the $200.00 you have owed me for a year on that Chevy Caprice locate. Be a man and pay your bills. Fucking dead beat.

I find that The American Repossessor is taking up so much of my time on the computer that I am not making the effort to post here very often. I read one of JD 's posts that said I just don't write enough. I got the new issue published yesterday on schedule, pushed myself away from my desk and slept for 5 hours. I'm writing JD, just not here.
