TiT's Greatest Hits: A Musical Retrospective...

5. OK, where do we send donations for their defense fund?
   This is outrageous.

I have been reading some about this, but evidently I am naive enough to think that they would not actually be arrested, but maybe just cited.
Naive is not a word that I have ever used to describe myself.

I am thinking about trying to round up a few hundred vets, meet up in DC and do the same ******* thing. Let them arrest us all.

This thing has me totally pissed off. I think it was the Yahoo slideshow thing that did it.

Yes! I'm going to have to agree with Frank exellent work Delilah and LC....And you're doing this with that horrible search engine at DU

Actually I'm using Google. I've never bothered with creating an account over there (which I understand is required to search). It'd make me feel somewhat , unclean. 

Yep, Google advanced search...can't beat it. It's even got me into a couple of backdoors (archived stuff not easily accessible to the general public).

Once again a delicious story (is there anything this guy DOESN'T know or HASN'T done) cut short by too much wine (or would that be whine). We need a picture of this guy (maybe with some photoshopping illustrating all his accomplishments) because he's the poster child of DU. He's got every single "quirk" one expects to find in the inhabitants of the island: anger, arrogance, bouncy stories (the guy even has to invent a life for his sons), and on and on. But my favorite thing about TiT (I mean the lies are so blatant and outrageous that it's almost boring) is he simply doesn't see the irony of calling President Bush and his friends & associates losers while he drinks himself into a stupor every night, constantly waxes nostalgic for a "youth" he never lived, and is a high school dropout working at a gift shop. Meanwhile, Bush is the most powerful man on the planet (regardless of what DU thinks, their petty impeachment schemes, or poll numbers) actually MAKING history...not just making it up.

11. Maddy, there were a lot of folks..
   If I had not had so much vino tonight, I would go in to detail..

There was an apartment complex in the 5400 block of Westheimer (La Rochelle?)in Houston.

Even back then, georgie had his syncophants who would attempt to pick up 'hippie chicks' around the pool. They were all (georgie's boys, not the women) absolute losers.

Rumors were all about circle-jerks ( a la Skull&Bones) and c*#k s*&king galore.

So, I clicked on the link and was taken to this Picasa gallery (according to the Tiburon Chamber of Commerce Robert James does promotions). That's not TiT but the lovely Nina (SOLE, at least since her husband died) proprietor of Gallery 108. Now, I'm thinking...TiT is calling this person out to assault some poor gallery owner who probably doesn't even know he exists beyond the casual hello.

Now it appears not only does TiT NOT co-own the business (despite intimating such on the "Nina has breast cancer" thread...what a disgusting way to use another human being), he doesn't even WORK there. Because according to Bay Crossings, "Nina and her dog Nicky greet customers six days a week under the distinctive black crane sign." She actually sounds like a really great person...at one point she moved her gallery out of Ark Row, "After many years at 108 Main Street on Ark Row, Nina and Gary Gerhard made plans for the move to the hub of downtown together. They planned the remodeling and new layout for the long narrow shop, the new logo and signage, and then Gary died suddenly. Nina had to implement the plans and move just days after losing her husband. It was a true challenge for this fine lady to reinvent their pleasant gallery and expand their fine gift store. The result is wonderful. New products have added dimension and the shop is a pleasure to visit." So how she fits into TiT's life remains a mystery.

Now what I did discover on my travels is that TiT, by his own admission, is a clerk in a greeting card store, "I talked to a woman living in Belvedere for 60 years who had never visited here," said longtime resident Tom Wright, who works at Giftique of Tiburon at 76 Main St. on Ark Row." It appears he can't complain he got confused about which business he owns (Gallery 108- Giftique...one could see how TiT could get confused...they both start with "G") as Giftique is owned by a delightful woman named Roxanne. "Giftique is a shop full of cards and all that is needed to gift wrap presents, once found. The owner of Giftique, Roxanne, said, 'The cards cost a little but the therapy from reading them is free. I love to see people laugh when they read cards or look at our gifts.'"

Now, here is something I am puzzling at. TiT is a name dropper. He's had so many brushes with greatness one would think he should've been a celebrity in his own right...probably the most pathetic hanger-on in history. Anyway, here at the Marin Magazine article on the 2007 Tiburon Art Festival is a picture of our intrepid hero posing with the very beautiful Katie Knipp. Katie Knipp, it seems, is somewhat of a local celebrity. She's even the opening act for an upcoming gig with the Doobie Brothers. This is exactly the kind of thing that turns him on. So one wonders why he doesn't brag on his "good friend" Katie. Of course Tom Wright isn't the most unusual name in the world...I suppose there could be more than one, maybe even more than one in Marin County.

I wonder what would happen if Ms. Roxanne or Ms. Nancy read some of TiT's DU fabrications.

10. You are right.
   
I witnessed incredible acts of selfless bravery on the part of those pilots.

Landing, hanging in, and taking off with their precious cargo under conditions unimagineable to those who weren't there.

I had one of the more dangerous tasks in country, but guys like your father were my personal heroes.

Totally saved my ass.

15. This story makes me crazy, Brother.
   
I walked half-way across the Bay Bridge and just tossed the.

All the way out there I thought about flinging myself off, too, but when those medals and ribbons went over the rail I felt like a new person.

I can see the Bay Bridge from my parking deck, Monkeyman.

33 years ago this coming July, I sent my medals to their final home.

They are at eternal rest on the bottom of San Francico Bay, mid-span under the Bay Bridge.

The most cathartic action I have ever taken.

That's where they are, along with a bunch of other stuff of mine.

1. That reminds me....
   
Once, while home on leave, the local High School aske me to come talk to the kids.

This was during one of the peaks of protests and I guess they figured, considering the type of work I did over there, that I would go all rah-rah. The pricipal even told me (nudge, nudge) to "wear what you wear every day over there".

So I did.

They were somewhat taken aback when I showed up in a ripped-up camo tee and pants and wearing Converse All-Stars. Maybe it was the bandana on my head that really bugged them. They asked me why didn't I wear my medals (as if we traipsed around wearing medals all the time). Asked me why I didn't wear jungle boots. Told them the ******* things will get you killed, doing what I do.

So I went to the guy's office and he kind of told me what to say.

Sure, buddy.

So I walk up to the microphone and started, "Just so you will know, my primary mission is the extraction of downed pilots. Sometimes we know right where they are and sometimes we just have a vague idea".

"Sometimes villagers will give us the information we want and sometimes they refuse. So we start by pitching the old people down the well."

Believe it or not, they pulled the plug on me.

The military threatened me with court-martial and I told them I had written down everything and given all (plus pics) to a reporter with the Houston Post (lie) and they just dropped it.

12. Hell, yes.
 In 1986, we were living in a log house deep in the woods northwest of Houston.

I'd had constant run-ins with this meth-head punk whose family live down the road. The road was three miles long and had only five houses along it.

Loooonnngg story short...

My cockehead neighbor and I broke up a car theft ring (methboy and his crazy cousin) by running the guys off the road and holding them facedown at gunpoint while waiting for the sheriff.

Well, it was SuperBowl Sunday and we were in the street (methboy and cousin face-down) directly in front of methboy's parents' house with about twenty cars parked in the driveway.

All of a sudden, there was this commotion and about ten people with firearms were running at us from the house. All drunk and shouting and weaving.

I fired a couple of shots (Winchester 1300 Defender12) over their heads and they dropped their guns and got down on the ground maybe twenty yards away.

There was just the two of us holding all those crazy people and the sheriff took forevevr to show up.

And they tried to charge us with kidnapping.

13. It was one of the home invaders...
 who was running from the Houston cops (who "surrounded" the invaded house, but failed to secure the rear entrance).

He ran through the leaded glass beside my brother's front door.

Big, big mistake.

And I, personally, would have no problem protecting my neighbors' property.

So, TiT was on his way to the local VFW a couple years ago when he thought he's stop by DU. There the Dummies were, hangin' out and talking about the Marines guarding Saddam. Evidently they made the two-bit dictator watch himself on the South Park movie "Bigger, Longer, Uncut". Well, Tom just couldn't let yet another opportunity go by to remind every fricken person on the planet that he not only served in Vietnam (just like John Kerry) but he wasn't hangin' out on any swift boat. He was doin' shit man! Secret shit! Shit that would curl your hair! Shit that was SO covert the Navy didn't even admit to having (let alone commissioning) SEAL Team 3 until 1983. Most special forces types don't brag on themselves or talk about what they did...good thing we have TiT or else we'd never know! Oh, by the way, the resident ex-military badass doesn't approve...he should know...he knows more about this shit than anyone else.

I really doubt that Hussein caught any of it.

And you can bet that if we translated it that it was totally unintelligible.

I don't know...how much dialogue do you need to understand what's going on when Saddam and Satan are laying in bed together...especially when Saddam whips out that dildo. I guess I'm most surprised that TiT hasn't already done whatever it is Brian Boitano would've done because, like TiT he "doesn't take shit from anybody".

17. "frustrating" is right.
   Last October, I had quite a morning...

http://www.democraticunde...nd.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

But I worked my tail off, re-learning to write, play guitar, eat with utensils, just about everything. Had to reprogram my right hand so that the ulnar network could take over from the radial (my original prognosis was the other way around). I mean, my right hand was just gone on vacation.

Finally got most of my guitar back, so I was doing some recording last Wednesday when suddenly my left hand became very tired. That really got my attention, because my hand never gets tired.

So I put my guitar back in its case, sat down, and felt my left hand leave the room. Felt like someone was pouring warm water on my arm from the elbow down. I felt my hand's energy flow right thru my fingertips. Took maybe a second. And I could not move my hand at all.

Frustrating, indeed.

Perhaps God is smiting the TiTmeister on the wrist.

Cindie

[delilahmused]

Calling all you gun nuts out there...how is this possible? I mean I'm sure it is...it's not like TiT would ever make anything up, but I just don't see HOW it could happen. I mean is the brain kind of like a pinball machine where BB's, marbles, grains of rice, etc can just bounce around until it emerges from whereever.

2. What a shame.
   I have been on two hunts when kids got shot.

One was a squirrel hunt when a guy shot his son in the top of the head, a single BB entering each eye, blinding the kid.

Another was a 13-year-old who was climbing into a tree stand when a .270 went of, drilling his heart. We found him that evening and my StepFather carried him for over three miles back to camp and had to tell the kid's Dad.

But neither incident involved beer or reefer.

MR. Klaseus should be taken out and shot.

4. Why are they so malleable? Did you read about how Merrill Jessop
 would waterboard babies?

Really. According to an ex-wife, he would spank them till they cried, then hold their faces under running faucets until they finally gave up and stopped crying. He called it "breaking" them.

The other thing is, imagine you're growing up in a community, where you're completely isolated and abuse is equated with love. You're told that in the outside world things are even worse. Why wouldn't you believe that? What would give you hope?

Carolyn Jessup, the mother who escaped with her 8 children, has described what finally opened her eyes. After a lifetime of hearing about how evil outsiders were, she finally came in contact with them when one of her sons was hospitalized for cancer surgery. She felt abandoned by her sister wives and other FLDSers. But the outsiders in the hospital impressed her with their caring. That's what finally gave her the courage to reject everything she'd been taught from childhood and to risk everything in a (successful) attempt at escape.

6. But you went to public school, right? Where you met other people
 and were exposed to other ideas? And you had a TV, I bet.

Even in a fundie school, you wouldn't have been as isolated as these people. It's almost unimaginable.

No TV, either.
