Probst had a great line on the reunion show the other night after Aras (it friggin' should have been Terry) was declared the winner: "I have one piece of advice for you: PAY YOUR TAXES."

/is PMITA prison really a punishment for Hatch?

That is totally uncalled for. You are WAY out of line.

Why? He made it clear on Survivor what his...principles were. I actually find the line somewhat humorous.

They're not his "principles," they're part of who he is as a person. IMO this isn't all that different from Karlberg's comments about Italians and African-Americans.

I agree with Mr. Mangin... "totally uncalled for" about covers it.

Well I find it offensive. Why don't we just make other references based upon someone's sexuality, race, gender, etc., since, according to lemon, gay people won't mind being raped in prison.

You have the right to make offensive comments just because someone has stated they are gay? Bull.


I hope someday you experience your attitude in someone else when it's you being harassed.

In an effort to stave off a flamewar that will probably get the thread closed, and despite the obviousness of a joke about an openly gay man being sent to a place (through EVERY fault of his own, mind you) which is stereotypically known for gay sex and "don't drop the soap" jokes, I offer an apology if jmangin was offended.

It wasn't just Jake -- that was a completely asinine thing to say.

Yeah, well...I feel the same way Chris posted below...he's a celebrity, and he chose to act the way he did on a nationally televised TV show watched by MILLIONS of people...only Richard Hatch chose to run around naked.

However, on that note, I think it's best that I say no more on the subject...and refrain from making similar comments in the future.

Resisting the temptation to fire again, I'll just remind people that there's a difference between what we do, which is controllable, and what we are, which is not. (And if you think that particular "principle" of his life is controllable, well, that's a flamewar for a different board.)

I'd be very interested to know how you come to the conclusion that this justifies raping him.

I'd be more interested in you explaining where I ever suggested it would be rape.

Does either one of these things matter? You made a tasteless comment, but you apologized the offended party for it (though it's a little short from I apologize to anyone I've offended). There really shouldn't be a lingering issue for anyone.

The point is Richard Hatch is a dumbass who deserves to be jailed.

I can just picture Steve Beverly once again typing "once voted 'the Most hated Man in America" with feverish glee.

We need to get back on topic guys. On the sentence, obviously Hatch's luck ran out. But, it ran out LONG before then. Even before he was voted off "Survivor All Stars".

Luck had nothing to do with it. Richard Hatch thinks he's smarter than anyone he comes across. It just happens that he was able to bully his way through the inaugural season of "Survivor," but players who knew his tricks didn't fall for it.

He knew there were taxes to pay, because I don't believe any smart person could go that dumb on a single topic. He thought he could outsmart the system, and found out that's untrue. Oops.

Da Perf makes a BBB run? (besides I'm sure there are a few guys higher on *THAT* ladder...)

A cursory glance at the RICO laws would suggest that maybe he was tried under that set of rules (RICO has a wide umbrella, not just racketeering). I suppose the judge wants to make an example out of Rich (or punish him for being so stupid/arrogant to accept then walk away from a plea bargain).

What in the bloody hell are you talking about? One has nothing to do with the other.

Brandon Brooks

Consider the source.

If that offends anyone, I apologize.

I'm offended by the apology.

Never use "reality" and "Richard Hatch" in the same sentence:


D'oh! I'll see your 33 months and raise you 18.


"Just make sure my birthday cake has a file in it." My son the convict.


Really, counselor? What gave you that notion?


Richard Hatch, meet Henry Block.


You can take the plea bargain, or you can take what's inside cell number 1435. Richard got zonked.

It takes all kinds, I guess.

I take offense at your offense.
ObGameShow: Offense rhymes with "fence". FENCE was the password at least once on Password.

Absolutely wrong. At least twice.

Brandon Brooks

OK, Horanistas, when was the word "offense" used as a password? And was the obvious clue "DEE-fense..."

Per discussions on Alt-TV.Game-Shows, never on Password Plus. They didn't allow opposites.

Hah! I out Horaned Horan! I feel.....woozy......<THUD>

What is this, the latest episode of Who Wants to Be a Horanionaire?

If so, is that your final Horanswer?

The way you typed "absolutely" is offensive to me and borders on mental cruelty.
And another thing! Except for an innocent platonic handshake, I never once
laid hands on Jack Clark.

And now to outHoran the outHoraner--opposites were allowed for the first few months.

<THUD>

{No, that wasn't him fainting, that was somebody hitting him in the back of the head. OK, whodunnit?}

Doug

Ididn'tdoititwasn'tmenobodysawityoucan'tproveanything. :)

Oh the Horanity! Why! WHY! WHY!!!!!

(Y'all know the kid is sitting in front of his computer right now jerking off to this, right?)

Uh Oh. I guess I absolutely apologize. To anyone who just threw up. And to Richard Hatch.

The big apology in all this needs to made to the one, the only, the original Richard Hatch,
star of Battlestar Galactica and co-star during the final season of The Streets Of
San Francisco.

You never cease to make me happy.

Branodn Brooks

And to out Horan that, the first episode of the "no opposites" rule aired on GSN today.

You do realize that the entire second half of this thread is at your expense, right Zach?

Well that took the fun out of that.

Because you can't spell "I'm an annoying child who must annoyingly post every chance I get. Z. " without Z-A-C-H-H-O-R-A-N

Not to sound like Chris Lemon, but when you waggle the bait in front of him, he will bite, as that means he gets attention.

Also not to sound like Chris Lemon, but isn't that the definition of a troll?

In not so many words, that's Zach.

And WHAT exactly is wrong with sounding like Chris Lemon? ;)

He doesn't want to have to pay royalties. ;-)

/yes, that's free as in beer

Nothing...unless said imitator just ate gazpacho. ;-)

And y'all know that you gave Zach an excuse to make a BBB run, right? :-P

Not even close. When all you guys team up and go "Beetlejuice -- Beetlejuice -- Beetlejuice" and, you know, Beetlejuice shows up? It's not Beetlejuice's fault.

Trolls are the ones that do the instigating, not the ones that react to it. We know that a bunch of you say would love to be rid of Zach, but you insist on going about it in precisely the wrong way.

In this case, you are absolutely right, but how many times has Zach BEEN the instigator? Far more times than I can count.

Hey, any advice as to the right way to go about it would certainly be appreciated! :)

Isn't that the long-awaited spinoff of the late, lamented Moronionaire? Hopefully it'll get a prime time on the VBS schedule at tomorrow's upfront presentation. Maybe after We Love to Interrupt, perhaps?

How in the hell did this thread go off topic, and why hasn't any moderator locked this thread yet? *mind boggles*

I guess they didn't want to. Imagine that.

Brandon Brooks

If you don't like how things are run here, don't post here.

Oh, Criminy. I've heard that more than enough times. That's THE cue to step away and not look back.
