Joe Black

Dude, you are living in the past, past, past. This site has grown up a ton since those losers posted here. If you're hoping to have the kind of crap banter that those three provided, you will be sorely disappointed. If that is what you want, then you should just go away before you are chastized a million times.

That's where you're wrong, young man. Joe Black, while there were failings on his part, is now a revered part of this board. In the end, he was almost stately.

You really have been gone for a long time. Joe Black was a cancer, and I bet most who remember him would say so. Brutal was a one-trick pony who liked to incite by calling distance runners midgets, using phrases like "ya think!" and then pulling out an obscure track and field fact and then claiming that he could "hang" - Oooooooh we're so impressed that you know how to use a search engine! Then he'd say something like "I'd rather watch football any day than watch a bunch of little midgets zipping around the track." We told him to go do it then, and apparently he has.

Apparently you like that kind of crap. Believe me that it doesn't last long on this board anymore, so if you want it, you need to go elsewhere. Try to start it if you will, but I see all and know all and I will call you out for the troll that you are if you attempt, and a pretty abrupt end will come to your troll dreams.

I haven't been gone and you don't know all that you talk about. I know about the "down side" of Joe Black and Brutal, but I also know things can get pretty dry around here. Joe Black had a certain sense of humor that eventually came through more and more as he grew into his role. I suspect now if he came back, he would be embraced by many more than he was before.

You would be wrong in that assessment.

Don't know about JB or BD but if you really can't live without Brutal, you can find him on Merv, Donnybrook and especially the RW L&O forum where he posts the same 3 or 4 messages over and over (merely worded differently).

Knower, you are obviously an uneducated fool.

Why don't you ask Weldon, Rojo, and yes, even Malmo whether or not they consider me a cancer. Why don't I cc you on the pages and pages of emails sent and correspondences I drafted, together with my piles of research done pro bono in the entire RW fiasco. I think they'll tell you that they found my assistance very much helpful.

I haven't posted in quite some time because I found your antics, together with those of your cronies and pseudonyms a little tiresome and repetitive. You have yet to espouse an intelligent position, nor make a valid point despite my attempts to elicit the same from you. I can't be bothered with you.

I am happy to say that I don't even remember all of your code names any longer. You clearly could not see the genius in my posts, so I moved on to greener pastures. I shall return sporadically to appease some of my followers, knowing of course, that all of my followers won't be appeased by anything I say (for example, you and your cronies would only be happy if I told you that the government was going to increase your unemployment checks).

Taking crack shots at me from behind your computer is the closest you shall come to greatness; unless of course you decide not to run our next road race and, rather, wait at the finish line for my victory dance.

One Hour to you Joe Black!!!!

I don't see what all the fuss is about. JB had my e-mail account revoked and I hold no harsh feelings. Let it slide people. This is only the internet.

Alan

Unclear what you mean by my cronies and pseudonyms, but I guess it's all just a fantasy world that you've established. Regardless of whether or not you once made yourself remotely useful, a cancer, a troll, you still were.

If your posts were genius, then I am glad that I could not see it, and I am glad that you've moved on to greener pastures. So, speaking of those greener pastures, go eat. Eat and be full for the grass here is brown. My hope is that those pastures of which you speak will remain green forever and you will not have to sprout wings and fly back here, so GO! Go and enjoy those green pastures.

Goodbye Mr. Leno.

The guy had your e-mail revoked and you hold no ill feelings toward him. You then are either sedated beyond belief or a fool. You choose.

No one says you have to remain bitter about what Joe Black did to you, but at the same time, you shouldn't be chomping at the bit to defend him either.

Knower,

You should seek therapy........ and a job.

I know that being you must suck, in a big way, but don't you have anything better to do than stir up trouble, and be the self-appointed "content defender" of the Letsrun.com message boards.

Hell, you should even get a little costume and singlet put together; as you seem to fashion yourself some sort of protector or super-hero. We can even throw togeher a little comic book for you, but my worry would be that your only captions would be: "WHIMPER!!!!", "WHINE!!!", "DONT DO THAT!!!!". Then again, I guess all geeks need their little super hero idols.

You are nothing but a whiny little mouse. If you have issues with me, email me. Otherwise, zip it.

Don't have issues with you. I didn't bring up this subject. I was glad to have you off the board, but then that other fellow was longing for your return, and I simply told him that it wasn't everyone's wish.

You said you didn't have time to bother with me, well why then respond to me?

I'm not going to needlessly badmouth you. Perhaps you have changed your tune since before, but it was the earlier you that that other poster wanted to return.

You will get no more responses from me no matter how you try to top me with a witty or accusatory response. I don't have time for you, and you will see that I am a man of my word.

I can barely contain my pleasure regarding the response from Mr. Black. While Mr. Black may not know my current name ("Buttmunch"), he will recognize my plea as having been previously issued under other names. As always, I humbly defer ONE HOUR to him and welcome with open arms the shower of pizza crusts that inevitably follow.

While I will contact you for further guidance, kind mentor, I ask if you would allow us access to those "greener pastures" that may encompass, however insufficiently, the breadth of your public commentary. Thank you.

Yet I also acknowledge "knower," who understandably was not taken (or swept up, as the case may be) by the Joe Black phenomenon. I understand. I was not either at first, unable to originally percieve his genius. Happily I am now among his followers. But I think a happy medium has been reached with the infrequency of Mr. Black's visits; his followers are pleasured, however briefly, and his detractors unaffected by the sparse interaction.

Mr. Black greatly increased his credibility during the RW fiasco and it is clear how much his stature has grown from his "early days." Since infrequent contact with Mr. Black is insufficient for me, I will take advantage of the fact that he has generously provided an e-mail address for his followers to utilize.

ONE HOUR to me. ONE HOUR ALWAYS to me.

Hopefully no one will ask you to take a ride on the tail of a comet. Worshipping the word of another whom you don't really even know is risky business. I think the goal should be to provide that with which others may learn and strive to be the provider and not the providee, and even though a provider needs providees, it should always be the hope of the provider that the providee will move on to become a provider. The original provider only gains new providees as new ones come into the fold.

For I am the King and you shall bow down as though such is the inescapable truth. For in all my glory and might, there is little chance of bringing you about. The words of the reaper make the accompanying darkness glow with a charm that reflects substantial differences between the thoughts of you and of mankind. I am your king. King Benji.

King Benji,

You're supposed to break those pills IN HALF.

Knower,

Interesting dichotomy indeed.

You state that you don't have time for the Great Joe Black, and will not reply to any more posts from "He of One Hour".

That being said, your unending posts on this thread (which, like all posts on this website, revolves around me) while at the same time professing to take the high road by not replying to any of my posts is interesting indeed.

You won't waste your time replying to me, BUT YOU WILL waste your time replying ABOUT me. Hmmmmmm.

I am curious. Did you get paid for those "This is your mind on drugs commercials" some time ago. As the poster child for the ills of drug abuse, I am sure I could find some means of compensation for the use of your brain's likeness in those frying pan excerpts.

Mr. Black, I have sent an e-mail to the e-mail that is linked to your name and eagerly await your response. I had previously thought the highlight of my life was when I got a note from President Clinton a few years ago (even I could beat him by ONE HOUR), but if you respond, that surely will surpass it.

(Knower: Lighten up, dude)

USA99,

Thank you for your message. While the call letters above are appropriately jumbled to protect the innocent, I will not be in a position to respond for some time. I did, though, receive your message.

As for Bill Clinton, he should be tried as a war criminal.
