Houston Teen Gets Headshot While Taking Selfie

[Chili]

I've told you guys multiple times that I've known him for close to 20yrs and have no reason to disbelieve anything he's ever said to me.

I have absolutely nothing to gain from that statement. I haven't spoken with him on the phone in probably 7-8yrs. Our only communication is maybe a brief text conversation every year or two. Back in the late 90's we were in touch more frequently and in person... having a real job and relocating has stifled that considerably.

Honestly, I don't know why he wastes his time with this place, but he has been around for a long time, and this place kinda sucks you in... and it's lonely at the top. I don't just mean financially in his case. If you're an intelligent person, you tend to be short on company...

Despite much of the ass-hattery that goes on on this forum, it's a bit of an anomaly in that even the biggest dunce on this place is still probably more intelligent than 95% of the people you'll encounter on the average day in the average city.

So if a guy is bored, this place is great because even if there's drama/arguments/shit talking/etc, it's typically done in a fairly intelligent manner with decent grammar and fairly decent argument strategies.

carry on

I must not have realized it was you that had 'vouched' for him, but do trust your word.

But you must admit, looking at it as an outsider, his one-upmanship and incredible stories seem pretty, well.. Incredible.

You should hear the stories that I keep to myself......

It's the internet, so of course I take everything I read with a bit of skepticism right off the bat. I have just gotten into that decision mode in my mind on if you are full of shit, just fucking with us, or the real deal. Still deciding..

At least write that shit down in a journal or something , if it's all true.

Cool, post up a selfie for our entertainment then!

A journal is hard evidence and I would not want something like that laying around. Some of what I have done is so off the wall that I do not even bother to post it because I know how it will be received. My buddy in prison sometimes tells stories about me and people think he is full of it and it cracks him up.

It does... All I know is that in all the years I've known him, my bullshit detector never got above yellow...

I've led a semi-unsheltered life... I've been exposed to a fair amount of underworld, so when I encounter somebody who has been exposed to a lot of underworld, I don't take it as pure fantasy. I accept the fact that underworld exists, and someone out there has actually lived it and might be willing to tell stories about it.

In my underworld experience, I've also encountered PLENTY of bullshitters... I don't take everything everybody says as truth... In fact, I typically DISTRUST everybody I meet until I can kinda logically vet them out in my own mind.

But stories he's told on here are exactly the same as they were told to me almost 20yrs ago... And I don't want that to come off as saying all of our conversations were him recounting wild stories. Quite the contrary. Our conversations were/are typically vanilla techie geek stuff about cars and shit. But, everybody likes to recount funny/interesting incidents...

After he became the new forum tag punching bag and deemed the most interesting man in the world, I actually went back and did some records searching on a story that he told me back in the late 90's. I was starting to doubt my judge of character and the calibration on my bullshit meter due to the overwhelming forum distrust.

I quickly found substantiating evidence of his claims that satisfied my original trust in him and left it at that.

Once somebody is in my circle of trust, they're in for good unless they violate that trust. So I'm not going to say that I know with 100% certainty that everything he has ever stated on this board is 100% true. But that holds true for everybody else on this forum that I consider a friend or even my own family members.

I actually felt bad for going back and vetting him through public records searches, but the board had me second guessing myself

I have said multiple times that anybody who is offered lunch by Bill should take him up on it. He is a really interesting dude, he's not going to murder you and wear your skin like a robe, and you'll much better understand his posting style after you talk with him in person and see how is mind works during real time conversation.

On that note, I need to get up there and grab lunch with you some time Bill, it's been WAY too long!

you are the second boardmember to vouch for him as a non bs'er to me.

[TeeShock]

Idk him but I like the stories. True or not.

[Ruffdaddy]

I remeber the first time cooter vouched for SVO, and I went back and thought about some of my crazy experiences and realized they probably sound like lies too. But I guess the main difference is ive only got 5-10 of those stories whereas svo has 100+.

But i have since started believing more of his posts and do know that some people live crazier lives.

True or not...at least its entertaining.

You're half his age.

Change names to "protect the innocent" and preface it with "thsi may or may not be true".

Yeah but ive slowed down.

I guess i still have a few wild friends that provide some good stories.

[juiceweezl]

Yeah, I heard someone beat you to "the bible"

So much drink on my keyboard after this post. Nicely done.

[diablo rojo]

Hell, talking about my work sounds pretty made up sometimes....to me. Just because it's fantastic, doesn't mean it's fantasy.
