Nope, not anymore. But for good measure, you should read the stickies. Specifically this one:

You were still correct. Everything happened except the the "deposit of doom".

Otherwise Paul boison sent me a fedex envelope with a check in it.

Jonathan

Wait.... so I was WRONG?!?!


Well then tell me, Mr. I'm-so-smart-my-name-is-JonD, WHOSE cupholder was that? If it wasn't Paul Boison, then who, pray tell, was lying, dead in that empty lot?

Your logic is obviously FLAWED!




All for you, bro. haha All for you.

To everyone who this made mad, I am sorry. I tend to look at it from the perspective that "If you had a good time, does it matter if it really happened?" What makes the past real? Words that represent it? Memories?

Well you did waste a lot of peoples time who felt that you were sincerely reaching out to the TB community in a serious time of need.

 

[SirCanealot]

Spanky, you are now actually my god

Great videos

 

[scottice]

So it was all a big scam Jonathan? Argh...

 

[Earwigger]

I ask of you TalkBass, who was the real scammer here? Who was the real monster? Was it Paul Boison, innocent Vietnamese farmer looking only to get some much-needed money for his perfect wedding? Or was it ... JonathanD for playing admittedly very few of us for fools?

P.S. - it WAS an entertaining read though, thanks to all the actors, especially the star performance by Spanky.

Well we were punked & I voted correctly.

Most scams require two elements:

1. A windfall offer
2. The greed of someone.

Why do you want to cash it? Did you earn it?

They already have your address and possibly your phone number.

They expect soon to have your checking account number.

I wouldn't touch it.

am I the only one that didn't find Spanky's vids hilariously funny? I mean, yeah, there were some great lines in there, but overall it was kinda boring...

 

[JanusZarate]

Yeah, you're the only one.

 

[Munjibunga]

That was all just a smattering of stupidity. It comes out of me all day long.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Great stuff! I'd pay money to see that ... well, not very much money.

 

[SpankyPants]

I'll show you anything if you pay me enough...

Careful. That's how my guitar player got expelled from high school his junior year.

True story.

 

[SpankyPants]

I got suspended for it my Sophmore year of high school.

Yeah, it harks back to the old Carlos Castaneda stuff.

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
