    As proven by that time the apprentice barber didn’t charge Dink for his botched bowl cut, or by the time John DeJong got a “free” Hepatitis A + B shot when his doctor was treating his rogue gonorrhoea strain, every now
    and again the sun shines on each of us. Clearly - some more than others,
    but the sun even shines on a dog’s arse every once in a while…

    Equally, some times it rains. And so it is the case in St Johns, Antigua
    where it looks like our whole day is going to be rained out today. In
    truth, we’ve been lucky - one fleeting sunshower during our only sea day is the only rain we’ve seen over the past fortnight, but it’s a shame to lose a planned beach day nonetheless.

    But enough about me - how have *you* been?

    Chad - how is your current career progressing? Are our boys ok? Which one
    of you is currently the biggest?

    Dink - what project are you currently working on? Met any nice ladies
    lately? Have you decided which souvenir you’d like me to bring home for
    you?

    Jason Tard - how are the wife and kids? Have you been sleeping well in
    spite of the Democratic and Republican primary run ins? Planned any
    terrorist activity to live out all those dreams of yours to kill a bunch of innocents at the Super Bowl?

    John Henry - how is the food situation? Have you unleashed on Mona yet,
    telling the world what a selfish traitor she was who just wanted to use you
    for all those skills and attributes to bring to a cohabitation?

    Freezer - don’t know, don’t care what you’re up to, you perennially miserable, lying bottom feeder.

    Zimmermen- you’re awesome just the way you are. Don’t change a thing…

    The Zimmermen just totally rule. You could bring back a recipe for
    Caribbean Beefaroni for John. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

    PS: Don't forget to try the conch fritters.

    But since you mentioned John, I think a repost from September 19th, 2020
    ought to cheer you up.

    "I haven't mentioned it here until now, but in 11 days I will be shut
    down, probably permanently. My loving brother, for reasons unknown to
    me but in my opinion rooted in his inability to cope with anyone he
    can't push around, has decided arbitrarily and without prior
    conversation that I'm no longer worthy of food, shelter, and clothing,
    and I have been evicted. Since my phone is on his account and that is
    also being repossessed, I won't even be able to log in to FB or most of
    my other websites, since they're all 2FA tied to that phone. I do still
    have my old phone, but I gifted that to my niece and I'm not going to
    break my word to her just because someone else decided I don't deserve a
    home. It's bad enough I'm being forced to break my promise that I'd
    always be here for her, since as she says I'm "the only person who makes
    [her] feel safe." I've cried a whole bunch over that in the last couple
    of weeks, but crying isn't getting me anywhere either. I just hope she understands when she gets older that it wasn't my choice to make. I
    don't know where I'll go or what I'll do; there really are no options.
    I'm not asking for anyone's help or money anymore because it's
    pointless. I'm not loading up all my crap in a backpack to trek across
    the country and "start over" again. I'm tired of starting over, I'm
    tired of bootstraps, and most of all I'm tired of every time I just get
    to the point of feeling like maybe I can feel safe, some external actor
    has to jam a stick in my spokes because I'm a threat to their ego. This
    has been a consistent pattern in my life, people wheedling their way
    into my good graces thinking it'll pay them off somehow and then
    throwing me under a bus when it doesn't pay off fast enough or they
    realize I'm not here to be their kept boy. I'm sick of it, and frankly
    I no longer have the slightest bit of trust or faith left in human
    beings, generally speaking. I did my best. I've fought my fight. I
    have nowhere to go, I have no way to get there. My employability is
    nil, largely due to the social media profile attached to my name through
    my activism over the years. I likely won't survive long, and I'm
    honestly not sure how much I care at this point. Perhaps, since I've
    long lacked the guts to just end myself of my own free will, this will
    give me an out that I can ethically accept. I'll continue to be here
    until the 30th, the date on the eviction notice, although since my
    internet access has been contingent on my keeping other people's secrets
    by way of not discussing any of this in public, it may be well before
    then that I'm forced to shut down, and if recent history is any
    indication I probably will have no advance warning. After that, I may
    be here, and I may not. I think you can all understand that I certainly
    have no interest in remaining where I am, given that I'm not welcome
    here, and given that of the six other people I live with the only one
    with the guts to speak to me directly about any of this, or to express
    the slightest bit of concern about my health or well-being, is a nine
    year old kid with a crush on her "cool uncle." (She's also a great kid
    with a great heart, and I hope her environment doesn't crush it out of
    her before she's old enough to really do anything with it. Love her to
    death.) So yeah. I didn't mention this when it happened because frankly
    I'm sick of people I trust throwing me on a fire and leaving me with no
    choice but to beg strangers for the resources I need to stay alive and
    keep doing what I do. When your own family craps all over you, it's
    time to admit you just don't deserve food, shelter, clothing, security,
    or to be able to trust anyone. I literally have had more genuine
    respect and consideration from a jazz singer I've never met in a handful
    of online exchanges over the years than anyone in my close family or the majority of my extended family have ever seen fit to extend, and that's
    just depressing beyond all expression. Thanks, Janis, for that. You've
    been a hero in my life in ways you never suspected, and even though it
    was a pretty crap job my participation in your project is absolutely a highlight of my artistic career. This has been a repeating pattern in my
    life, where people pretend to want to "help" when what they really want
    is to tie themselves to me and reap rewards when I finally "make it," to
    make a big public show of being charitable and philanthropic when what
    they really are is chasing social approval and trying to make themselves
    out as heroes, usually with the effect of shutting down any other offers
    of genuine help only for me to find out later the help they're offering
    amounts to them shoving me off on someone else. For those of you who
    have been genuine and heartfelt supporters over the years, I hope my
    body of work persists in archives and in your hearts and minds as you
    move forward without me. I appreciate you, I love you, and I couldn't
    have made it this long without you. For those of you who can only offer
    help because you think you're going to get something out of it that you
    don't have the guts to ask for, kiss my ass and die. It may be that a
    fit of concern over social disapproval results in an offer to stay. As
    a matter of pragmatics, I will take that offer if it's made, but only
    for as long as it takes for me to find a permanent way out of here. You wouldn't want to live in a house where nobody over the age of 10 has the slightest respect or consideration for you, and I don't either. That
    small group of you who have been quietly supportive over the years, who
    have given without expectation of reward, who have followed me not
    because you want to be able to brag to people but because you believe in
    who I am and what I do, are my real family, and I love every one of you
    from the bottom of my heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think about
    what I owe you and strive to pay it back in every way I can. You have
    helped me make the world a slightly better place while I've had the
    chance, and in my book that makes you a hero. The rest of the
    fair-weather "friends" and people who only "help" because they think
    they're going to get something materially or socially beneficial to them
    in return...meh. You got what you wanted, and my "family" now have what
    they want: and end to me, permanently, so they don't have to be
    reminded of their own failures of character and humanity. But, as things
    stand now with 11 days left until the eviction notice expires and not
    one of the sixty-ish resumes I've sent out so far getting so much as an auto-ack, I've got to face the reality that my life is effectively over,
    and what time I have left will likely be spent on the streets trying to
    find a warm place to sleep where I don't have to worry about my guitar -
    which I will not give up for any price, as it is priceless to me - being
    stolen from me. I'm hoping for a solution to manifest itself...but I'm
    not hopeFUL. It's time to face reality: I have been deemed by this
    world to be unworthy of life, and maybe it's time I accepted that this
    world is probably right. Love you all. Peace."

    The mating call of the Drama Queen is not always a joyous thing.
    Sometimes it's justice calling.

    Great read - many thanks for posting, not least since it kept me
    entertained during the night after my better half has collapsed to bed and I’m left to amuse myself. There’s only so much Karaoke, buffets and traveller conversations at the bar that one man can indulge. Please post
    some more excerpts - I’ve got a 16 hour flight home in a few days!

    Have just set up shop for the next few hours on a beach chair at Glen
    Seaside Bar and Grill on Cane Garden Bay Beach at Tortola. I see they do
    Conch Fritters in Lime Butter. They’re more expensive than Lobster, but I’m going to give it a crack on your recommendation. As our last full day day
    in cruise mode before a couple nights in Punta Cana and Miami, I can’t
    leave without trying it, even if it means paying the tourist tax for
    cruisers silly enough to pay it…

    Zimmermen Excelsior!

    break my word to her just because someone else decided I don't deserve a
    home. It's bad enough I'm being forced to break my promise that I'd
    always be here for her, since as she says I'm "the only person who makes
    [her] feel safe." I've cried a whole bunch over that in the last couple
    of weeks, but crying isn't getting me anywhere either. I just hope she
    understands when she gets older that it wasn't my choice to make. I
    don't know where I'll go or what I'll do; there really are no options.
    I'm not asking for anyone's help or money anymore because it's
    pointless. I'm not loading up all my crap in a backpack to trek across
    the country and "start over" again. I'm tired of starting over, I'm
    tired of bootstraps, and most of all I'm tired of every time I just get
    to the point of feeling like maybe I can feel safe, some external actor
    has to jam a stick in my spokes because I'm a threat to their ego. This
    has been a consistent pattern in my life, people wheedling their way
    into my good graces thinking it'll pay them off somehow and then
    throwing me under a bus when it doesn't pay off fast enough or they
    realize I'm not here to be their kept boy. I'm sick of it, and frankly
    I no longer have the slightest bit of trust or faith left in human
    beings, generally speaking. I did my best. I've fought my fight. I
    have nowhere to go, I have no way to get there. My employability is
    nil, largely due to the social media profile attached to my name through
    my activism over the years. I likely won't survive long, and I'm
    honestly not sure how much I care at this point. Perhaps, since I've
    long lacked the guts to just end myself of my own free will, this will
    give me an out that I can ethically accept. I'll continue to be here
    until the 30th, the date on the eviction notice, although since my
    internet access has been contingent on my keeping other people's secrets
    by way of not discussing any of this in public, it may be well before
    then that I'm forced to shut down, and if recent history is any
    indication I probably will have no advance warning. After that, I may
    be here, and I may not. I think you can all understand that I certainly
    have no interest in remaining where I am, given that I'm not welcome
    here, and given that of the six other people I live with the only one
    with the guts to speak to me directly about any of this, or to express
    the slightest bit of concern about my health or well-being, is a nine
    year old kid with a crush on her "cool uncle." (She's also a great kid
    with a great heart, and I hope her environment doesn't crush it out of
    her before she's old enough to really do anything with it. Love her to
    death.) So yeah. I didn't mention this when it happened because frankly
    I'm sick of people I trust throwing me on a fire and leaving me with no
    choice but to beg strangers for the resources I need to stay alive and
    keep doing what I do. When your own family craps all over you, it's
    time to admit you just don't deserve food, shelter, clothing, security,
    or to be able to trust anyone. I literally have had more genuine
    respect and consideration from a jazz singer I've never met in a handful
    of online exchanges over the years than anyone in my close family or the
    majority of my extended family have ever seen fit to extend, and that's
    just depressing beyond all expression. Thanks, Janis, for that. You've
    been a hero in my life in ways you never suspected, and even though it
    was a pretty crap job my participation in your project is absolutely a
    highlight of my artistic career. This has been a repeating pattern in my
    life, where people pretend to want to "help" when what they really want
    is to tie themselves to me and reap rewards when I finally "make it," to
    make a big public show of being charitable and philanthropic when what
    they really are is chasing social approval and trying to make themselves
    out as heroes, usually with the effect of shutting down any other offers
    of genuine help only for me to find out later the help they're offering
    amounts to them shoving me off on someone else. For those of you who
    have been genuine and heartfelt supporters over the years, I hope my
    body of work persists in archives and in your hearts and minds as you
    move forward without me. I appreciate you, I love you, and I couldn't
    have made it this long without you. For those of you who can only offer
    help because you think you're going to get something out of it that you
    don't have the guts to ask for, kiss my ass and die. It may be that a
    fit of concern over social disapproval results in an offer to stay. As
    a matter of pragmatics, I will take that offer if it's made, but only
    for as long as it takes for me to find a permanent way out of here. You
    wouldn't want to live in a house where nobody over the age of 10 has the
    slightest respect or consideration for you, and I don't either. That
    small group of you who have been quietly supportive over the years, who
    have given without expectation of reward, who have followed me not
    because you want to be able to brag to people but because you believe in
    who I am and what I do, are my real family, and I love every one of you
    from the bottom of my heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think about
    what I owe you and strive to pay it back in every way I can. You have
    helped me make the world a slightly better place while I've had the
    chance, and in my book that makes you a hero. The rest of the
    fair-weather "friends" and people who only "help" because they think
    they're going to get something materially or socially beneficial to them
    in return...meh. You got what you wanted, and my "family" now have what
    they want: and end to me, permanently, so they don't have to be
    reminded of their own failures of character and humanity. But, as things
    stand now with 11 days left until the eviction notice expires and not
    one of the sixty-ish resumes I've sent out so far getting so much as an
    auto-ack, I've got to face the reality that my life is effectively over,
    and what time I have left will likely be spent on the streets trying to
    find a warm place to sleep where I don't have to worry about my guitar -
    which I will not give up for any price, as it is priceless to me - being
    stolen from me. I'm hoping for a solution to manifest itself...but I'm
    not hopeFUL. It's time to face reality: I have been deemed by this
    world to be unworthy of life, and maybe it's time I accepted that this
    world is probably right. Love you all. Peace."

    The mating call of the Drama Queen is not always a joyous thing.
    Sometimes it's justice calling.

    Great read - many thanks for posting, not least since it kept me
    entertained during the night after my better half has collapsed to bed and I’m left to amuse myself. There’s only so much Karaoke, buffets and traveller conversations at the bar that one man can indulge. Please post
    some more excerpts - I’ve got a 16 hour flight home in a few days!

    Have just set up shop for the next few hours on a beach chair at Glen
    Seaside Bar and Grill on Cane Garden Bay Beach at Tortola. I see they do Conch Fritters in Lime Butter. They’re more expensive than Lobster, but I’m
    going to give it a crack on your recommendation. As our last full day day
    in cruise mode before a couple nights in Punta Cana and Miami, I can’t leave without trying it, even if it means paying the tourist tax for
    cruisers silly enough to pay it…

    Zimmermen Excelsior!


    Wow. Just wow. Conch fritters are my new favourite food. Alongside Carib
    beer which is my favourite drink of the past fortnight.

    Whilst the hospitality at the Glen Seaside Bar and Restaurant was
    questionable at best (I get that they need to be ruthless in peak season,
    but refusing an ice pack or any assistance whatsoever to the woman who
    busted her knee of a a dumping wave was sickening - even by the worst tourist-gouging standards), the conch ( which I wouldn’t even have ordered
    if I’d witnessed the manager’s cold indifference beforehand) was amazing.

    It was listed as more expensive than the lobster, but I fortuitously got a “locals” discount of $10 so it was “only” US$15 because I fortuitously pronounced it “conc” in my Aussie accent rather than “conch” in my asshole
    Cruiseboater accent, which they mistook as creole and gave the slightly
    better price.

    Anyhow, eating sea slug never tasted so good, so many thanks for the tip. It’s currently half time in the Super Bowl so our last night onboard is
    going to be a big one. Here’s hoping the 49ers do it for their spiritual shaman, Jarryd Hayne…

    Equally, some times it rains. And so it is the case in St Johns,

    fortnight, but it’s a shame to lose a planned beach day
    nonetheless.

    But enough about me - how have *you* been?

    Chad - how is your current career progressing? Are our boys ok?
    Which one of you is currently the biggest?

    Dink - what project are you currently working on? Met any nice
    ladies lately? Have you decided which souvenir you’d like me to
    bring home for you?

    Jason Tard - how are the wife and kids? Have you been sleeping well
    in spite of the Democratic and Republican primary run ins? Planned
    any terrorist activity to live out all those dreams of yours to
    kill a bunch of innocents at the Super Bowl?

    John Henry - how is the food situation? Have you unleashed on Mona
    yet, telling the world what a selfish traitor she was who just
    wanted to use you for all those skills and attributes to bring to a
    cohabitation?

    Freezer - don’t know, don’t care what you’re up to, you
    perennially miserable, lying bottom feeder.

    Zimmermen- you’re awesome just the way you are. Don’t change a
    thing…

    The Zimmermen just totally rule. You could bring back a recipe for
    Caribbean Beefaroni for John. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

    Glad you liked them. Back in the late 90s, I was introduced to them first

    ice storms for what turned out to be the next 2.5 days.

    environment doesn't crush it out of her before she's old enough to
    really do anything with it. Love her to death.) So yeah. I didn't
    mention this when it happened because frankly I'm sick of people I
    trust throwing me on a fire and leaving me with no choice but to beg
    strangers for the resources I need to stay alive and keep doing what
    I do. When your own family craps all over you, it's time to admit
    you just don't deserve food, shelter, clothing, security, or to be
    able to trust anyone. I literally have had more genuine respect and
    consideration from a jazz singer I've never met in a handful of
    online exchanges over the years than anyone in my close family or the
    majority of my extended family have ever seen fit to extend, and
    that's just depressing beyond all expression. Thanks, Janis, for
    that. You've been a hero in my life in ways you never suspected, and
    even though it was a pretty crap job my participation in your project
    is absolutely a highlight of my artistic career. This has been a
    repeating pattern in my life, where people pretend to want to "help"
    when what they really want is to tie themselves to me and reap
    rewards when I finally "make it," to make a big public show of being
    charitable and philanthropic when what they really are is chasing
    social approval and trying to make themselves out as heroes, usually
    with the effect of shutting down any other offers of genuine help
    only for me to find out later the help they're offering amounts to
    them shoving me off on someone else. For those of you who have been
    genuine and heartfelt supporters over the years, I hope my body of
    work persists in archives and in your hearts and minds as you move
    forward without me. I appreciate you, I love you, and I couldn't
    have made it this long without you. For those of you who can only
    offer help because you think you're going to get something out of it
    that you don't have the guts to ask for, kiss my ass and die. It may
    be that a fit of concern over social disapproval results in an offer
    to stay. As a matter of pragmatics, I will take that offer if it's
    made, but only for as long as it takes for me to find a permanent way
    out of here. You wouldn't want to live in a house where nobody over
    the age of 10 has the slightest respect or consideration for you, and
    I don't either. That small group of you who have been quietly
    supportive over the years, who have given without expectation of
    reward, who have followed me not because you want to be able to brag
    to people but because you believe in who I am and what I do, are my
    real family, and I love every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
    Not a day goes by when I don't think about what I owe you and strive
    to pay it back in every way I can. You have helped me make the world
    a slightly better place while I've had the chance, and in my book
    that makes you a hero. The rest of the fair-weather "friends" and
    people who only "help" because they think they're going to get
    something materially or socially beneficial to them in return...meh.
    You got what you wanted, and my "family" now have what they want:
    and end to me, permanently, so they don't have to be reminded of
    their own failures of character and humanity. But, as things stand
    now with 11 days left until the eviction notice expires and not one
    of the sixty-ish resumes I've sent out so far getting so much as an
    auto-ack, I've got to face the reality that my life is effectively
    over, and what time I have left will likely be spent on the streets
    trying to find a warm place to sleep where I don't have to worry
    about my guitar - which I will not give up for any price, as it is
    priceless to me - being stolen from me. I'm hoping for a solution to
    manifest itself...but I'm not hopeFUL. It's time to face reality: I
    have been deemed by this world to be unworthy of life, and maybe it's
    time I accepted that this world is probably right. Love you all.
    Peace."

    Great read - many thanks for posting, not least since it kept me
    entertained during the night after my better half has collapsed to bed
    and I’m left to amuse myself. There’s only so much Karaoke,
    buffets and traveller conversations at the bar that one man can
    indulge. Please post some more excerpts - I’ve got a 16 hour flight
    home in a few days!

    Have just set up shop for the next few hours on a beach chair at Glen
    Seaside Bar and Grill on Cane Garden Bay Beach at Tortola. I see they
    do Conch Fritters in Lime Butter. They’re more expensive than
    Lobster, but I’m going to give it a crack on your recommendation. As
    our last full day day in cruise mode before a couple nights in Punta
    Cana and Miami, I can’t leave without trying it, even if it means
    paying the tourist tax for cruisers silly enough to pay it…

    Zimmermen Excelsior!

    I used to have these at a local restaurant in Dallas and I'm not sure why they're so expensive now. But the raw price is prettty high now.

    You wanted amusement?

    Guess who said this in 2004?

    "Duh. I've only said THAT a million times. I got caught with no degree
    in an employment downturn in my sector and lost everything, Chuck.
    That's no secret. It's the predictable result of bad choices I made when
    I was young. That's why I'm in school - to try and prevent it from
    happening again. In short: So I don't end up being a fifty-something
    homeless dumpster-diving plagiarizing pedophile who gets off on
    threatening little old ladies."

    Hint: He doesn't dive into dumpsters but loses fights to them instead.

    The Zimmermen just totally rule. You could bring back a recipe for
    Caribbean Beefaroni for John. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

    PS: Don't forget to try the conch fritters.

    But since you mentioned John, I think a repost from September 19th,
    2020 ought to cheer you up.

    "I haven't mentioned it here until now, but in 11 days I will be shut
    down, probably permanently. My loving brother, for reasons unknown
    to me but in my opinion rooted in his inability to cope with anyone
    he can't push around, has decided arbitrarily and without prior
    conversation that I'm no longer worthy of food, shelter, and
    clothing, and I have been evicted. Since my phone is on his account
    and that is also being repossessed, I won't even be able to log in to
    FB or most of my other websites, since they're all 2FA tied to that
    phone. I do still have my old phone, but I gifted that to my niece
    and I'm not going to break my word to her just because someone else
    decided I don't deserve a home. It's bad enough I'm being forced to
    break my promise that I'd always be here for her, since as she says
    I'm "the only person who makes [her] feel safe." I've cried a whole
    bunch over that in the last couple of weeks, but crying isn't getting
    me anywhere either. I just hope she understands when she gets older
    that it wasn't my choice to make. I don't know where I'll go or what
    I'll do; there really are no options. I'm not asking for anyone's
    help or money anymore because it's pointless. I'm not loading up all
    my crap in a backpack to trek across the country and "start over"
    again. I'm tired of starting over, I'm tired of bootstraps, and most
    of all I'm tired of every time I just get to the point of feeling
    like maybe I can feel safe, some external actor has to jam a stick in
    my spokes because I'm a threat to their ego. This has been a
    consistent pattern in my life, people wheedling their way into my
    good graces thinking it'll pay them off somehow and then throwing me
    under a bus when it doesn't pay off fast enough or they realize I'm
    not here to be their kept boy. I'm sick of it, and frankly I no
    longer have the slightest bit of trust or faith left in human beings,
    generally speaking. I did my best. I've fought my fight. I have
    nowhere to go, I have no way to get there. My employability is nil,
    largely due to the social media profile attached to my name through
    my activism over the years. I likely won't survive long, and I'm
    honestly not sure how much I care at this point. Perhaps, since I've
    long lacked the guts to just end myself of my own free will, this
    will give me an out that I can ethically accept. I'll continue to be
    here until the 30th, the date on the eviction notice, although since
    my internet access has been contingent on my keeping other people's
    secrets by way of not discussing any of this in public, it may be
    well before then that I'm forced to shut down, and if recent history
    is any indication I probably will have no advance warning. After
    that, I may be here, and I may not. I think you can all understand
    that I certainly have no interest in remaining where I am, given that
    I'm not welcome here, and given that of the six other people I live
    with the only one with the guts to speak to me directly about any of
    this, or to express the slightest bit of concern about my health or
    well-being, is a nine year old kid with a crush on her "cool uncle."

    I suspect the price was just reflective of peak season gouging in holiday season, not least since they dropped it without any haggling just because
    they thought I wasn’t a cruiser. Either way, it was money well spent to discover something I’d never tried in my first four decades on earth. So
    for that, again, thanks.

    Thanks also for the DeJong updates. With minimal wifi connectivity whilst onboard, downloading updates and watching cringe-inducing, long-forgotten videos provided plenty of amusement whilst Mrs Meta slept. Your service to
    rspw - and indeed to non-mouthbreathing mankind - cannot be understated.

    Thank you for your service. Long may it continue…

    want to be able to brag to people but because you believe in who I
    am and what I do, are my real family, and I love every one of you
    from the bottom of my heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think
    about what I owe you and strive to pay it back in every way I can.
    You have helped me make the world a slightly better place while
    I've had the chance, and in my book that makes you a hero. The rest
    of the fair-weather "friends" and people who only "help" because
    they think they're going to get something materially or socially
    beneficial to them in return...meh. You got what you wanted, and my
    "family" now have what they want: and end to me, permanently, so
    they don't have to be reminded of their own failures of character
    and humanity. But, as things stand now with 11 days left until the
    eviction notice expires and not one of the sixty-ish resumes I've
    sent out so far getting so much as an auto-ack, I've got to face
    the reality that my life is effectively over, and what time I have
    left will likely be spent on the streets trying to find a warm
    place to sleep where I don't have to worry about my guitar - which
    I will not give up for any price, as it is priceless to me - being
    stolen from me. I'm hoping for a solution to manifest itself...but
    I'm not hopeFUL. It's time to face reality: I have been deemed by
    this world to be unworthy of life, and maybe it's time I accepted
    that this world is probably right. Love you all. Peace."

    The mating call of the Drama Queen is not always a joyous thing.
    Sometimes it's justice calling.

    Great read - many thanks for posting, not least since it kept me
    entertained during the night after my better half has collapsed to
    bed and I’m left to amuse myself. There’s only so much
    Karaoke, buffets and traveller conversations at the bar that one man
    can indulge. Please post some more excerpts - I’ve got a 16
    hour flight home in a few days!

    Have just set up shop for the next few hours on a beach chair at
    Glen Seaside Bar and Grill on Cane Garden Bay Beach at Tortola. I
    see they do Conch Fritters in Lime Butter. They’re more
    expensive than Lobster, but I’m going to give it a crack on
    your recommendation. As our last full day day in cruise mode before
    a couple nights in Punta Cana and Miami, I can’t leave without
    trying it, even if it means paying the tourist tax for cruisers
    silly enough to pay it…

    Zimmermen Excelsior!

    I used to have these at a local restaurant in Dallas and I'm not sure
    why they're so expensive now. But the raw price is prettty high now.

    You wanted amusement?

    Guess who said this in 2004?

    "Duh. I've only said THAT a million times. I got caught with no
    degree in an employment downturn in my sector and lost everything,
    Chuck. That's no secret. It's the predictable result of bad choices I
    made when I was young. That's why I'm in school - to try and prevent
    it from happening again. In short: So I don't end up being a
    fifty-something homeless dumpster-diving plagiarizing pedophile who
    gets off on threatening little old ladies."

    Hint: He doesn't dive into dumpsters but loses fights to them
    instead.

    Here's another hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUKbkyOUt50


    I suspect the price was just reflective of peak season gouging in
    holiday season, not least since they dropped it without any haggling
    just because they thought I wasn’t a cruiser. Either way, it was
    money well spent to discover something I’d never tried in my first
    four decades on earth. So for that, again, thanks.

    Thanks also for the DeJong updates. With minimal wifi connectivity
    whilst onboard, downloading updates and watching cringe-inducing, long-forgotten videos provided plenty of amusement whilst Mrs Meta
    slept. Your service to rspw - and indeed to non-mouthbreathing mankind
    - cannot be understated.

    Thank you for your service. Long may it continue…

    Special youtube.com bonus from over a decade ago:

    "Land of the Lost: Homeless in America" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_fcmtsRgLg

    When you return to Oz...

    Pop in and lurk, or make up an account. It's the land of Beefaroni Boy
    and all the latest. It's wide open and John AKA Beefy pretends he
    doesn't follow and read it. Just another lie from him. Just like RSPW,
    eh?

    A few people are those who had sent money and have had a change of heart
    about sending a parasite like Beefy anything but rat poison or have had
    the <gasp> personal and up close <double-gasp> Beefy experience. So it's
    always entertaining and some episodes from personal experience provide considerable enlightenment.

    NAABP: National Association for the Advancement of Beefaroni People

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/donotsendmoneytobeefy

    So here's a recent sample or two:

    ************** Sample #1
    Beefy spewed the following in the middle of his notorious spam runs.

    "Beefy: There's an obnoxious arrogance in assuming that because you
    don't understand something, it isn't understood."

    This is coming from an asshole that constantly talks at people to
    justify decades of begging.

    "obnoxious arrogance" and Beefy - Perfect together and for the last 53
    years.

    What a condescending fuckmuppet.

    **********Sample #2

    Today's "Beefy Lack of Self Awareness Post of the Day". This mooch is on
    a (highly toasted) roll! Candidate #4 from our favorite daughter
    molester:

    "Overlooking the obvious answer because it's too obvious is fallacious reasoning."

    I don't even know where to begin with The Beefster on this one.

    Let's start with the obvious question:

    Q. Why do people know you're a pedophile?

    A. Because you've basically admitted to it and your own daughter said
    you did.

    "Beefy: GEE NOW ADD ALL THAT UP AND WONDER WHY JH ALWAYS ENDS UP GOING
    FOR THE YOUNGER WOMEN, HUH?"

    Obvious enough, fuckhead?

    How about your own words?

    "Beefy: But sometimes its just a thought the family Ill never see
    again because they dont want me for reasons of their own selfishness, cowardice, and ego; the lovers and friends Ive tried to help and
    failed; leaving them to whatever hell I couldnt pull them out of; how
    sad my lil buddy with the cute little crush is that the only person who
    makes her feel safe isnt around anymore and theres nothing she or he
    can do about it."

    Looks suspiciously like Beefy was grooming a young family member. Is
    this why your brother threw you out? Those "obvious answers" are a motherfucker, aren't they?

    Let's be fair: We'll give Beefy 15 words on why he thinks his family
    hates him!

    "they dont want me for reasons of their own selfishness, cowardice, and
    ego"

    Oy vey, Beefy!

    Are you claiming that people are jealous of the love you give? That sure
    sounds like the excuse that child molesters use when they are rejected
    by society. So sorry to state the obvious...

    I'm sure glad we had a chance to talk about fallacious reasoning, Beefy!
    Feel free to stop by and respond. We (tinw) don't censor that kind of
    thing here like you do.

    The Zimmermen just totally rule. You could bring back a recipe for
    Caribbean Beefaroni for John. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

    PS: Don't forget to try the conch fritters.

    But since you mentioned John, I think a repost from September 19th,
    2020 ought to cheer you up.

    "I haven't mentioned it here until now, but in 11 days I will be
    shut down, probably permanently. My loving brother, for reasons
    unknown to me but in my opinion rooted in his inability to cope
    with anyone he can't push around, has decided arbitrarily and
    without prior conversation that I'm no longer worthy of food,
    shelter, and clothing, and I have been evicted. Since my phone is
    on his account and that is also being repossessed, I won't even be
    able to log in to FB or most of my other websites, since they're
    all 2FA tied to that phone. I do still have my old phone, but I
    gifted that to my niece and I'm not going to break my word to her
    just because someone else decided I don't deserve a home. It's bad
    enough I'm being forced to break my promise that I'd always be here
    for her, since as she says I'm "the only person who makes [her]
    feel safe." I've cried a whole bunch over that in the last couple
    of weeks, but crying isn't getting me anywhere either. I just hope
    she understands when she gets older that it wasn't my choice to
    make. I don't know where I'll go or what I'll do; there really are
    no options. I'm not asking for anyone's help or money anymore
    because it's pointless. I'm not loading up all my crap in a
    backpack to trek across the country and "start over" again. I'm
    tired of starting over, I'm tired of bootstraps, and most of all
    I'm tired of every time I just get to the point of feeling like
    maybe I can feel safe, some external actor has to jam a stick in
    my spokes because I'm a threat to their ego. This has been a
    consistent pattern in my life, people wheedling their way into my
    good graces thinking it'll pay them off somehow and then throwing
    me under a bus when it doesn't pay off fast enough or they realize
    I'm not here to be their kept boy. I'm sick of it, and frankly I
    no longer have the slightest bit of trust or faith left in human
    beings, generally speaking. I did my best. I've fought my fight.
    I have nowhere to go, I have no way to get there. My employability
    is nil, largely due to the social media profile attached to my name
    through my activism over the years. I likely won't survive long,
    and I'm honestly not sure how much I care at this point. Perhaps,
    since I've long lacked the guts to just end myself of my own free
    will, this will give me an out that I can ethically accept. I'll
    continue to be here until the 30th, the date on the eviction
    notice, although since my internet access has been contingent on my
    keeping other people's secrets by way of not discussing any of this
    in public, it may be well before then that I'm forced to shut down,
    and if recent history is any indication I probably will have no
    advance warning. After that, I may be here, and I may not. I
    think you can all understand that I certainly have no interest in
    remaining where I am, given that I'm not welcome here, and given
    that of the six other people I live with the only one with the guts
    to speak to me directly about any of this, or to express the
    slightest bit of concern about my health or well-being, is a nine
    year old kid with a crush on her "cool uncle." (She's also a great
    kid with a great heart, and I hope her environment doesn't crush it
    out of her before she's old enough to really do anything with it.
    Love her to death.) So yeah. I didn't mention this when it
    happened because frankly I'm sick of people I trust throwing me on
    a fire and leaving me with no choice but to beg strangers for the
    resources I need to stay alive and keep doing what I do. When your
    own family craps all over you, it's time to admit you just don't
    deserve food, shelter, clothing, security, or to be able to trust
    anyone. I literally have had more genuine respect and
    consideration from a jazz singer I've never met in a handful of
    online exchanges over the years than anyone in my close family or
    the majority of my extended family have ever seen fit to extend,
    and that's just depressing beyond all expression. Thanks, Janis,
    for that. You've been a hero in my life in ways you never
    suspected, and even though it was a pretty crap job my
    participation in your project is absolutely a highlight of my
    artistic career. This has been a repeating pattern in my life,
    where people pretend to want to "help" when what they really want
    is to tie themselves to me and reap rewards when I finally "make
    it," to make a big public show of being charitable and
    philanthropic when what they really are is chasing social approval
    and trying to make themselves out as heroes, usually with the
    effect of shutting down any other offers of genuine help only for
    me to find out later the help they're offering amounts to them
    shoving me off on someone else. For those of you who have been
    genuine and heartfelt supporters over the years, I hope my body of
    work persists in archives and in your hearts and minds as you move
    forward without me. I appreciate you, I love you, and I couldn't
    have made it this long without you. For those of you who can only
    offer help because you think you're going to get something out of
    it that you don't have the guts to ask for, kiss my ass and die. It
    may be that a fit of concern over social disapproval results in an
    offer to stay. As a matter of pragmatics, I will take that offer
    if it's made, but only for as long as it takes for me to find a
    permanent way out of here. You wouldn't want to live in a house
    where nobody over the age of 10 has the slightest respect or
    consideration for you, and I don't either. That small group of you
    who have been quietly supportive over the years, who have given
    without expectation of reward, who have followed me not because you
    want to be able to brag to people but because you believe in who I
    am and what I do, are my real family, and I love every one of you
    from the bottom of my heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think
    about what I owe you and strive to pay it back in every way I can.
    You have helped me make the world a slightly better place while
    I've had the chance, and in my book that makes you a hero. The rest
    of the fair-weather "friends" and people who only "help" because
    they think they're going to get something materially or socially
    beneficial to them in return...meh. You got what you wanted, and my
    "family" now have what they want: and end to me, permanently, so
    they don't have to be reminded of their own failures of character
    and humanity. But, as things stand now with 11 days left until the
    eviction notice expires and not one of the sixty-ish resumes I've
    sent out so far getting so much as an auto-ack, I've got to face
    the reality that my life is effectively over, and what time I have
    left will likely be spent on the streets trying to find a warm

    Many thanks for the link to the new fb group - some hilarious reading
    there. I’m not sure what I’m enjoying more; John Henry DeJong’s desperate pleas for validation, or the vitriol from Chad Bryant denigrating a person
    who he spent 27 years lauding as a man of the highest intelligence,
    integrity and compassion he’d ever known, and who he considered “family for life”.

    I truly wonder which one of them changed the most (nevermind if it was for
    the better or the worse) to have driven such a wedge between the two like-minded blood brothers. Lamentably, truth is a commodity which neither subscribes to, so I doubt we shall ever know the real reason…

    Your casket.

    Have a nice day.

    Uh-oh.

    Railing against the googles, wishing death upon the mean men of t’internets and using pithy phrases like “living rent-free” to deflect any commentary of the fact that you’re going full Dink again.

    Never go full Dink…

    The Zimmermen just totally rule. You could bring back a recipe
    for Caribbean Beefaroni for John. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

    PS: Don't forget to try the conch fritters.

    But since you mentioned John, I think a repost from September
    19th, 2020 ought to cheer you up.

    "I haven't mentioned it here until now, but in 11 days I will be
    shut down, probably permanently. My loving brother, for reasons
    unknown to me but in my opinion rooted in his inability to cope
    with anyone he can't push around, has decided arbitrarily and
    without prior conversation that I'm no longer worthy of food,
    shelter, and clothing, and I have been evicted. Since my phone is
    on his account and that is also being repossessed, I won't even
    be able to log in to FB or most of my other websites, since
    they're all 2FA tied to that phone. I do still have my old
    phone, but I gifted that to my niece and I'm not going to break
    my word to her just because someone else decided I don't deserve
    a home. It's bad enough I'm being forced to break my promise
    that I'd always be here for her, since as she says I'm "the only
    person who makes [her] feel safe." I've cried a whole bunch over
    that in the last couple of weeks, but crying isn't getting me
    anywhere either. I just hope she understands when she gets older
    that it wasn't my choice to make. I don't know where I'll go or
    what I'll do; there really are no options. I'm not asking for
    anyone's help or money anymore because it's pointless. I'm not
    loading up all my crap in a backpack to trek across the country
    and "start over" again. I'm tired of starting over, I'm tired of
    bootstraps, and most of all I'm tired of every time I just get to
    the point of feeling like maybe I can feel safe, some external
    actor has to jam a stick in my spokes because I'm a threat to
    their ego. This has been a consistent pattern in my life, people
    wheedling their way into my good graces thinking it'll pay them
    off somehow and then throwing me under a bus when it doesn't pay
    off fast enough or they realize I'm not here to be their kept
    boy. I'm sick of it, and frankly I no longer have the slightest
    bit of trust or faith left in human beings, generally speaking. I
    did my best. I've fought my fight. I have nowhere to go, I have
    no way to get there. My employability is nil, largely due to the
    social media profile attached to my name through my activism over
    the years. I likely won't survive long, and I'm honestly not
    sure how much I care at this point. Perhaps, since I've long
    lacked the guts to just end myself of my own free will, this will
    give me an out that I can ethically accept. I'll continue to be
    here until the 30th, the date on the eviction notice, although
    since my internet access has been contingent on my keeping other
    people's secrets by way of not discussing any of this in public,
    it may be well before then that I'm forced to shut down, and if
    recent history is any indication I probably will have no advance
    warning. After that, I may be here, and I may not. I think you
    can all understand that I certainly have no interest in remaining
    where I am, given that I'm not welcome here, and given that of
    the six other people I live with the only one with the guts
    to speak to me directly about any of this, or to express the
    slightest bit of concern about my health or well-being, is a nine
    year old kid with a crush on her "cool uncle." (She's also a
    great kid with a great heart, and I hope her environment doesn't
    crush it out of her before she's old enough to really do anything
    with it. Love her to death.) So yeah. I didn't mention this when
    it happened because frankly I'm sick of people I trust throwing
    me on a fire and leaving me with no choice but to beg strangers
    for the resources I need to stay alive and keep doing what I do.
    When your own family craps all over you, it's time to admit you
    just don't deserve food, shelter, clothing, security, or to be
    able to trust anyone. I literally have had more genuine respect
    and consideration from a jazz singer I've never met in a handful
    of online exchanges over the years than anyone in my close family
    or the majority of my extended family have ever seen fit to
    extend, and that's just depressing beyond all expression.
    Thanks, Janis, for that. You've been a hero in my life in ways
    you never suspected, and even though it was a pretty crap job my
    participation in your project is absolutely a highlight of my
    artistic career. This has been a repeating pattern in my life,
    where people pretend to want to "help" when what they really want
    is to tie themselves to me and reap rewards when I finally "make
    it," to make a big public show of being charitable and
    philanthropic when what they really are is chasing social
    approval and trying to make themselves out as heroes, usually
    with the effect of shutting down any other offers of genuine help
    only for me to find out later the help they're offering amounts
    to them shoving me off on someone else. For those of you who
    have been genuine and heartfelt supporters over the years, I hope
    my body of work persists in archives and in your hearts and minds
    as you move forward without me. I appreciate you, I love you,
    and I couldn't have made it this long without you. For those of
    you who can only offer help because you think you're going to get
    something out of it that you don't have the guts to ask for, kiss
    my ass and die. It may be that a fit of concern over social
    disapproval results in an offer to stay. As a matter of
    pragmatics, I will take that offer if it's made, but only for as
    long as it takes for me to find a permanent way out of here. You
    wouldn't want to live in a house where nobody over the age of 10
    has the slightest respect or consideration for you, and I don't
    either. That small group of you who have been quietly supportive
    over the years, who have given without expectation of reward, who
    have followed me not because you want to be able to brag to
    people but because you believe in who I am and what I do, are my
    real family, and I love every one of you from the bottom of my
    heart. Not a day goes by when I don't think about what I owe you
    and strive to pay it back in every way I can. You have helped me
    make the world a slightly better place while I've had the chance,
    and in my book that makes you a hero. The rest of the
    fair-weather "friends" and people who only "help" because
    they think they're going to get something materially or socially
    beneficial to them in return...meh. You got what you wanted, and
    my "family" now have what they want: and end to me, permanently,
    so they don't have to be reminded of their own failures of
    character and humanity. But, as things stand now with 11 days
    left until the eviction notice expires and not one of the
    sixty-ish resumes I've sent out so far getting so much as an
    auto-ack, I've got to face the reality that my life is
    effectively over, and what time I have left will likely be spent
    on the streets trying to find a warm place to sleep where I don't
    have to worry about my guitar - which I will not give up for any
    price, as it is priceless to me - being stolen from me. I'm
    hoping for a solution to manifest itself...but I'm not hopeFUL.
    It's time to face reality: I have been deemed by this world to
    be unworthy of life, and maybe it's time I accepted that this
    world is probably right. Love you all. Peace."

    The mating call of the Drama Queen is not always a joyous thing.
    Sometimes it's justice calling.

    Great read - many thanks for posting, not least since it kept me
    entertained during the night after my better half has collapsed to
    bed and I’m left to amuse myself. There’s
    only so much Karaoke, buffets and traveller conversations at the
    bar that one man can indulge. Please post some more excerpts -
    I’ve got a 16 hour flight home in a few days!

    Have just set up shop for the next few hours on a beach chair at
    Glen Seaside Bar and Grill on Cane Garden Bay Beach at Tortola. I
    see they do Conch Fritters in Lime Butter. They’re more
    expensive than Lobster, but I’m going to give it a
    crack on your recommendation. As our last full day day in cruise
    mode before a couple nights in Punta Cana and Miami, I
    can’t leave without trying it, even if it means paying
    the tourist tax for cruisers silly enough to pay it…

    Zimmermen Excelsior!

    I used to have these at a local restaurant in Dallas and I'm not
    sure why they're so expensive now. But the raw price is prettty
    high now.

    You wanted amusement?

    Guess who said this in 2004?

    "Duh. I've only said THAT a million times. I got caught with no
    degree in an employment downturn in my sector and lost everything,
    Chuck. That's no secret. It's the predictable result of bad choices
    I made when I was young. That's why I'm in school - to try and
    prevent it from happening again. In short: So I don't end up being
    a fifty-something homeless dumpster-diving plagiarizing pedophile
    who gets off on threatening little old ladies."

    Hint: He doesn't dive into dumpsters but loses fights to them
    instead.

    Here's another hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUKbkyOUt50


    I suspect the price was just reflective of peak season gouging in
    holiday season, not least since they dropped it without any haggling
    just because they thought I wasn’t a cruiser. Either way, it
    was money well spent to discover something I’d never tried in
    my first four decades on earth. So for that, again, thanks.

    Thanks also for the DeJong updates. With minimal wifi connectivity
    whilst onboard, downloading updates and watching cringe-inducing,
    long-forgotten videos provided plenty of amusement whilst Mrs Meta
    slept. Your service to rspw - and indeed to non-mouthbreathing
    mankind - cannot be understated.

    Thank you for your service. Long may it continue…

    When you return to Oz...

    Pop in and lurk, or make up an account. It's the land of Beefaroni
    Boy and all the latest. It's wide open and John AKA Beefy pretends he
    doesn't follow and read it. Just another lie from him. Just like
    RSPW, eh?

    A few people are those who had sent money and have had a change of
    heart about sending a parasite like Beefy anything but rat poison or
    have had the <gasp> personal and up close <double-gasp> Beefy
    experience. So it's always entertaining and some episodes from
    personal experience provide considerable enlightenment.

    So here's a recent sample or two:

    ************** Sample #1
    Beefy spewed the following in the middle of his notorious spam runs.

    "Beefy: There's an obnoxious arrogance in assuming that because you
    don't understand something, it isn't understood."

    This is coming from an asshole that constantly talks at people to
    justify decades of begging.

    "obnoxious arrogance" and Beefy - Perfect together and for the last
    53 years.

    What a condescending fuckmuppet.

    **********Sample #2

    Today's "Beefy Lack of Self Awareness Post of the Day". This mooch is
    on a (highly toasted) roll! Candidate #4 from our favorite daughter
    molester:

    "Overlooking the obvious answer because it's too obvious is
    fallacious reasoning."

    I don't even know where to begin with The Beefster on this one.

    Let's start with the obvious question:

    Q. Why do people know you're a pedophile?

    A. Because you've basically admitted to it and your own daughter said
    you did.

    "Beefy: GEE NOW ADD ALL THAT UP AND WONDER WHY JH ALWAYS ENDS UP
    GOING FOR THE YOUNGER WOMEN, HUH?"

    Obvious enough, fuckhead?

    How about your own words?

    "Beefy: But sometimes it’s just a thought – the family I’ll never
    see again because they don’t want me for reasons of their own
    selfishness, cowardice, and ego; the lovers and friends I’ve tried
    to help and failed; leaving them to whatever hell I couldn’t pull
    them out of; how sad my lil buddy with the cute little crush is that
    “the only person who makes her feel safe” isn’t around anymore and
    there’s nothing she or he can do about it."

    Looks suspiciously like Beefy was grooming a young family member. Is
    this why your brother threw you out? Those "obvious answers" are a
    motherfucker, aren't they?

    Let's be fair: We'll give Beefy 15 words on why he thinks his family
    hates him!

    "they don’t want me for reasons of their own selfishness, cowardice,
    and ego"

    Oy vey, Beefy!

    Are you claiming that people are jealous of the love you give? That
    sure sounds like the excuse that child molesters use when they are
    rejected by society. So sorry to state the obvious...

    I'm sure glad we had a chance to talk about fallacious reasoning,
    Beefy! Feel free to stop by and respond. We (tinw) don't censor that
    kind of thing here like you do.

    Many thanks for the link to the new fb group - some hilarious reading
    there. I’m not sure what I’m enjoying more; John Henry DeJong’s desperate pleas for validation, or the vitriol from Chad Bryant
    denigrating a person who he spent 27 years lauding as a man of the
    highest intelligence, integrity and compassion he’d ever known, and
    who he considered “family for life”.

    I truly wonder which one of them changed the most (nevermind if it was
    for the better or the worse) to have driven such a wedge between the
    two like-minded blood brothers. Lamentably, truth is a commodity which neither subscribes to, so I doubt we shall ever know the real
    reason…

    As always, the likely primary cause is Beefy exceeding the mooching
    limit. Most hosts tire of parasites too.

    Beefy is about to enter the workforce at two days a week and is already threatening to produce less repeated spam of his previous output and
    recycled memes. But never fear, the begging will continue on.

    Imagine begging the sheep for money for an autoposter to allow him to automatically repost begging? That's our Low Income Genius!

    One of the really funny things is that many of the people posting there
    are blocked in Facebook by Beefy DeJong. That means he can't see a lot
    of the best comments. So he likely has a few of his sheep reading it as
    well and reporting back. Beefy also has a few "alternate" accounts that
    could read it yet won't respond. Pure cowardice.

    Some of the best parts are people catching Beefy "in the wild" where he
    can't censor people. The one where he argues basic math with a college professor and calls him wrong is so funny but so lacking in
    self-awareness.
