Here ya go I didn't try anything grilled .

0% swan, 0% dog ... so how come he can call them swan dogs?

It turns out if you come up with something awesome and unique, you don't have to advertise... just post your location on twitter and the people will find you.

That's cool. Cashing in on the stupidity of punters. But it is Cali.

Hey Radar, check out HR 875.:eek:

soo, i've been lurking for ages, and dying to know what's happened with the hot dog cart. any updates?

Winslow, poster Radar picked up his ball and went home sometime last January after Undertoad the sysop chewed him out for being a perennial shithead. Not only did Paul Ireland/Radar not have any people-skills, he hadn't the smallest idea why anyone would find them useful. You probably do not want any contact with so pathological a narcissist. It's good riddance.

I liked him. But I never read his long posts.

Oh, I missed all that drama, I just saw the hot dog cart thing and thought it was kind of cool. Too bad. I admire it when folks can do things that they dream about and start small businesses and so forth - if I wasn't on my current career track, I'd love to do something fun like that. Oh well.

I believe he bought the cart and then failed to do anything with it.

probably dawned on him that selling hotdogs would mean interacting with people who might have opinions different from his.

doubt that. I just used to watch in awe as he trumpeted his superior business prowess without noticing what a spectacularly disastrous and incomplete plan his was. It was almost poetic, but I felt a bit like I was watching a rabbit in the headlights of real life. I hope his wife and baby are OK.

I dunno about his baby, but I think his wife has him completely figured out and is far more successful at getting what she wants than he is.

you could be right there. perhaps this was his outlet.

If I remember correctly, he blamed his wife for not being able to launch his hot dog cart business.

Wow, and here I am all completely oblivious to all this. i had no idea, i just remembered the hot dog thread and how cool i thought it was. didn't know anything about the dude. yet again, my faith in humanity, slightly crushed once more. sigh. i think *that* is where the "sad" in "sad_winslow" comes from.

sorry.
Jaydaan is setting up a new business quite successfully selling lingerie, if that cheers you up....

It might, if there were pictures.

Was she an illegal alien or why was he so up tight about that issue? It seemed to me that all her assimilation was completely legal from his posts. I never understood that aspect.

It wasn't her nationality which prevented him from running the cart, it was just that (supposedly) she didn't want him to do it. As it turns out, foreign women are not better at knowing their place than American women, and his... well, let's set aside the question of possible financial restitution, and merely call it an arranged marriage... did not seem to be the joyful bliss he had instructed it to be.

I believe there was an issue with moving far away from family - not sure if it was his or hers though. IIRC he had family, perhaps and uncle where he moved.

He had an uncle in Florida, who already ran a successful hot dog cart. Her whole family was back in Vietnam, where she had made every effort to stay even after they were married, up to and including giving deliberately wrong answers at her greencard interviews (things like, "Where did you and your husband first meet?") He also talked about how she tried every excuse in the book not to have to have sex with him.

I'm surprised I'm the only one who remembers all this, it was quite the entertaining train wreck at the time.

I remember.

god, that's horrible. i'm kind of sorry i brought it up. i was hoping that somewhere, somebody normal and decent with a small dream made something happen. bah.

Hey Winslow, check out Grifftopia. Is there a thread for it? Anyone?

Man, I missed a lot of the details about Radar ... but none of it surprises me. I kind of miss him, just for being so far out there.

Wow Clod - your brain/memory never ceases to amaze me. With all you have going on, you still have the capacity to remember all that. I'm struggling to remember all that I need to lately.

Yeh, me too. Zen - He made me appear closer to normal. I miss that.

I remember when he said he would rather kill his wife than let her leave him...that's real dedication right there!

And that if his wife got a boobjob their marriage would be over because it meant she was going to cheat. And that wasn't just a private issue, he applied it to every woman out there - including female Dwellars (despite evidence to the contrary).

It was somethig along the lines of every woman gets the richest man she can for her looks. Or every man gets the best looking woman he can afford. Quite shocking.

I do miss him though. I like me some cranks if they aren't too prolific.

Heh, it's all long-term vs. short-term. I can remember Radar's Jerry-Springer-drama from a couple years ago, but I'm not sure if I even had breakfast this morning, let alone what I might or might not have had.

hahahaha - Don't get me started on memory issues...

The details are spread across a lot of old threads. I don't remember if I had one serious thread somewhere. Here is a video I put up in Jan 08. My life doesn't provide the drama Radar's has. He is an interesting character.

Classicman sent me this a few months back.

The link in there to his Congressional campaign website was still hot, four years and sixty-three votes later. Not any more; I just checked.

Note the photograph: a man with a waistline like that needs about two feet of cock to get past his bellybutton for most of the usual sex positions. Though his daughter's existence says he managed it at least once -- and I worry for her. Him I miss not at all: he was not disposed to allow freedom of thought, so quite naturally I chainsawed him at every opportunity once I grasped his nature. I am a man of liberty; he, a man of narcissism.

Is it a sign of the apocalypse to agree with UG? :eyebrow:

yup

Fun's fun -- but in a word, no.:D

:3eye: First sign of old age dementia.
