Just go off the phone with my brother and he says that our cousin in New Jersey (no joke) and his son, P.J., and grandson, Tiny, are on a reality show about repossessing stuff... I think the show is on tonight at 10:00 on True TV (cable) and called "Swamp Bear Recovery"... Anyone who is thinking of messing with me ought to know that I can make a call and have these folks pay you a personal visit... Heh heh... Check 'um out!!! B~ |

From: Stilly River Sage Bobert, I just finished a last long weekend of a couple of long weeks of helping a friend clear out his house that is being foreclosed. His late partner was a hoarder and had filled it with what are essentially useless holiday decorating trinkets. You can be sure that he's leaving the house looking just the way the repossessing bank will want to see it [not]. SRS |

From: Bee-dubya-ell So people shouldn't mess with Boberdz on account of he's got relatives who are repo men, huh? Well, I got relatives who drive honeydipper trucks. Mess with me an' they'll fill yer swimmin' pool up with week-old shit! No, they don't star in no reality TV show, but I figure it's only a matter of time. Watchin' my relatives pump out portable toilets has gotta be at least as entertaining as watchin' Bob's relatives repo some poor slob's ridin' lawnmower. |

06 Sep 11 - 05:46 AM (#3218896) Subject: RE: BS: Why folks might not to mess with me... From: Bee-dubya-ell I think you're onto something there, Bobz. BillD says reality shows about repo guys have been played out. So let's give 'em a new lease on life by mxin' the repo guys with other professions! Repo guys & honeydipper drivers: When some smartypants locks that Camaro he's missed a payment on in the garage, just back the honeydipper truck up to the garage door and send a pressurized blast of Job-Johnny Juice in through that little crack at the bottom. Next night, that garage door'll be open tryin' to air the stink out and the repo guys can slip in, hotwire that mother, an' drive it away. Repo guys & street mimes: Sometimes the repo guys need to create a distraction, right? Well, what better distraction than a street mime? You gotta figure anyone who's behind a couple of payments on his F-150 4WD is gonna be in a pretty bad mood anyway. So just stick a mime in his face! While he's busy beatin' the shit outta the mime, the repo boys are winchin' that pickup onto a flatbed. Repo guys & strippers: Not even gonna bother to explain that one. Use your imagination. That's just a handful of ideas. The possibilities are endless. |

First of all, the restaurant owner must have been paid because they wouldn't have been able to video it otherwise, right? Then, he commits assault with a deadly spaghetti and a lethal pie ON CAMERA. And, grown men grandstaning about all the dangers... flames, grease, hot water... they didn't look like they were scared of grease! Based on that ONE clip. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it. |

That's because of the appeal the primal, primitive, and elemental side of human nature holds for many people. But the cable shows' produers can't use words like "primal", "primitive", or "elemental" in the shows' titles because many of their potential viewers don't know what any of those words mean. Most of them do, however, have a general idea of what a swamp is. |

From: gnu "That's because of the appeal the primal, primitive, and elemental side of human nature holds for many people." Swamp People does it for me. I am two generations away from that but up country, where I spent a lot of my time learning the backwoods, there ain't no gators. Black bears are the baddest but they ain't no match when you consider gators and snakes. Bears don't make me flinch. A gator or a PIEson snake would freak me out. Maybe that's why why I am such a fan of watching my Acadian cousins out in the swamp... SHOOT, SHOOT! |

08 Sep 11 - 01:41 PM (#3220146) Subject: RE: BS: Why folks might not to mess with me... From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp The real reason folks don't wanna mess with you, Bobert, is quite simple. It has to do with yer personal hygeine...the lack of it, that is. I won't go into the nasty details, but I think you know pretty well what I am talkin' about. My suggestion: Build yerself a primitive shower still out back of the old shed. All ya really need is a bucket, a rope, and a beam to hang the bucket off of. For water you got the old pump in the backyard, next to the pig's feed trough. Cold water is good. It wakes you up and suppresses yer viler impulses. You will be amazed at how much better folks will like you if you just douse yerself good a couple times a week with fresh cold water...and use soap! If you don't know what "soap" is, well, it is sorta waxy lookin' stuff that comes in a small bar you can hold in your hand. Heck, here is a video that should explain it all better than I can: What soap is. And how to use it. Watch it carefully. Ya gotta wait till about the 56 second mark before the part about usin' soap comes, okay? Some useful stuff in there about improvin' yer general lifestyle too. - Chongo |

09 Sep 11 - 12:19 AM (#3220446) Subject: RE: BS: Why folks might not to mess with me... From: GUEST,Chongo Chimp What you are engagin' in, Bobertz, is a classic case of what shrinks call "projection"...seein' yer own faults in others. I feel yer pain, buddy. I know it must be hard facin' ostracization and re-jection on every hand, havin' folks crossin' to the other side of the street to avoid you, that sort of thing. It can lead to depression and alienation. Soon you find yerself stockpilin' ammo and guns and bombs in the basement and preparin' for a last defiant stand a la Elfego Baca or Billy the Kid. One day you are on the 6 O'Clock news cos the Feds have you surrounded and the Swat teams are bein' dropped by helicopter on the roof of your home fortress and the bulldozers are rammin' in yer front door. All of that can be avoided by a few simple alterations in personal lifestyle...soap...basic dental hygeine...a shave...a change of clothes once in awhile. Give it some thought. I can always be reached by phone if you need to talk. Call 1-800-APE-HELP anytime...day or night. If I ain't there to talk, a real nice Baboon called Chachi will be, and you can trust him implicitly. He cares. He has been there too and come out the other side to where he is now walkin' in the light instead of the darkness. If he could do it, you can too. - Chongo |
