you mean shit made up for a troll thread?

That's what I always thought too, but he's doing the same thing on at least one completely different forum. It strikes me as desperate affirmation seeking, like his life really is this hilariously awful and he's telling as many people as possible in the hope of finding some sympathy. Then again, he could just be a troll lacking enough sense to not recycle a persona, but I've met people just as wretched as this persona, so I find it plausible. Either way though the solution is the same, he needs to stop posting.

This.

That people actually believe the garbage trolling posted in his, albeit usually harmless, threads is laughable.
Same people I imagine believed JohnOfSheffield's "war stories".:whiste:

Let's just say cops were involved and being kicked out of the place where the reunion was. Funny part is...my kin didn't do a thing wrong. I've never been so disappointed in my life.

I feel bad for my older brother...he's pretty devastated and pissed off.

After things got violent (if they did), you should have loaned our forum aid, shown below.

Bullshit.
Uh oh. So not only did Mayne post a lame stary but he stole said lame story from another lame poster of lame stories? The day I can't muster the get-up-and-go to do original work in my trolling is the day to walk away from the internets forever.

Bullshit.

Well to be fair, the poster of that thread was called out about this thread and he confirmed that him and OP are the same person.

This does not however prove in any way whatsoever that the story itself isn't bullshit, though :biggrin:

I'm still trying to make sense of it all. My family has been going up there every year for the fireworks festival for atleast 10 years straight. This time we brought up a few extra cousins and nephew/nieces. The place we gather at is my cousins..her name is Colleen. After the fireworks were over ..she comes out of the house and starts freaking out on the driveway where we all had our chairs placed. Told us to go ...i guess it was to much for her seeing a couple 17 year olds with a beer can. So basically she wrote us off. I feel bad for my brother though, the man gives so much to her family and ours and to be kicked off the property is pretty heart breaking to be honest. No one one was out of control drunk ...it just came right out of the blue which left us all shocked..and then to receive that message on facebook was the icing on the cake. Such a shame this happened.

Given your type of family, I suspect that a mature lady saw much more issues than a couple of 17yr olds drinking beer.

If the family did not respect her place; she is correct in getting them removed.

If you were a twig on my family tree I'd snap off that twig, then prune the branch, then chop the tree down, roundup the stump, burn the forest down, plow and salt the earth, then nuke the site from orbit.

Does she know that it is not illegal for 17 year olds to drink, that it's just illegal to sell to them or to buy for them by proxy? Sure, you could be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor if they don't have the parent's consent/permission, but I haven't ready anything yet to indicate that.

Associate with better people and you won't have to deal with bullshit on a regular basis.

It's hard to pick your family.

The actual worst reunion ever story:

When I was 10, we visited my hick relatives in southern Hillbilly Ohio. While there, we stayed at my overall-wearing uncle's double-wide. He had a farm, and he built a pen that held the cutest, most adorable, BLUE bunnies you've ever seen. These happy hoppers had such gray fur that they looked blue in the sunlight. It was amazing! They also loved people- when I went into the pen they all hopped over to me, snuggled my legs, and did little happy dances in a circle. We played and played until the sun went down and my overall-wearing aunt made me come inside.

A couple of days later, we had our reunion party at a state park. There was a huge buffet of deep fried EVERYTHING! Fried chicken, fried, pickles, fried steaks...if it fit in a fryer, it got fried. Coincidentally, my overall-wearing cousin Todd was not seen at the reunion for some unknown reason, but I can't prove any connection.

I was piling my plate with another overall-wearing cousin, when I noticed he was grabbing a bunch of chicken wings. I love wings! So, I joined him, grabbing handfuls of drummies covered in a golden-brown peppery breading.

I sat down at a gingham covered picnic table with the least amount of bird poop on the seat, and began to chow down. In mid-chow, my overall-wearing uncle wanders up and sees my face stuffed with food.

"You like 'em legs?" he said with a semi-toothless grin.
"Um...yeah! They're pretty good!"
"You know what them are, don' ya?"

At that point, the leg bone in my mouth drooped down, barely sticking to my bottom lip. This is also the standard response to anyone suggesting you're not eating what you think you are.

"Thems those rabbits yew was rompin' with the other day. They good, ain't they?!"

That leg bone finally lost its grip on my lower lip and dropped on my plate.

"Mr. Biggles?"....
