Fatman feel free to use this thread to keep us up to date on your life. Your therapy progress, your med regimen, your weight loss, your ruminations on teachers and orphans, football, brooklyn strippers, terabytes downloaded, cat status and what-not. Really just whatever strikes your fancy. Heck, post a few pics if you want.

Seriously, just drop in and post a few lines whenever the urge strikes. Couldn't take too much of your time and it will save me from having to search in every thread in every forum to find out how you're doing.

I, for one, am keen to find out more about your career in law enforcement ( CLICKY ) it seems so much more interesting than your career in HR, IT, corporate reorganization, drafter of the UN Charter or your most recent stint as a house-bound mental patient.

Aw, shucks. You shouldn't have!




But, where's the Venusian code fun in that.

I'll try though ...


I have lost 11 lbs since July 4th after some adjustments to my diet that were suggested by a rather attractive female XPT poster. I'll be giving up red meat come October at her suggestion. I hope to incorporate more soon, but some items are a bit pricy ... and with Ceara's cell phone to pay for ....

Stopped counting the Tbs for now since I'm trying to organize what I have. Broke 200 full features from the 70s & 80s. Many of them foreign [Brigitte Lahaie, for example]. Closing in on 60 Ginger Lynn titles.


My trial should be two weeks from today. The witness against me has refused to cooperate with DA.

See, Bornyo, you got to poke around more!



Sorry my past life was more exciting than yours SG.

Right now it's none to fun. I'm disabled with a mental illness, so I have little better to do than to recall my glory days posting on a porn site.

What's your excuse?


btw, earlier in the year when I talked about my time with the AG [1988-1998] got a PM from a "poster" who currently works for law enforcement in NYC challenging me that I was a-fibbin about my time there. I passed the questions on a mutually agreed upon warrant with flying colors. btw, I was a "civilian"/"technician" not an "officer", but the the ID badge has the same effect ... as would a tax collectors, etc. ... and "officers" need not fear going back.

Just to annoy additionally, I was also a delegate to the NYC-CLC from 1993-1998. Don't forget my labor leadership! The whole thing seems empty without it!


I you want to find someone impartial to review documentation that backs what I've said about my career, I'll more than welcome it. We'll have to discuss how much I get if I'm telling the truth, though ...

I do appreciate all the tales of derring-do. They do make my rather bland history of mental health and steady employment seem ordinary by comparison.

You appear to have dodged the question of the outstanding criminal charge like a fat kid ducking a ball in gym class.

We're waiting - enquiring minds want to know.

this thread is the equivalent of an opposum that ignores whatever amazing and enticing bait you put in a trap for weeks and just wanders around brazenly eating the neighbor's bulbs and licking empty yogurt cups that fell from a trash truck. i enjoy learning about what the fatman thinks and does daily and it's annoying we've offered a chance to do so since he enjoys it. this thread would be peanut butter and apples if he were an opposum. frustrating.

To Bornyo: Sorry my man. Got busy with other things.

I may be writing a book with my psychiatrist on the history of my disorders and their misdiagnosis for 30+ years. It seems that he believes that people will be interested in my story. My idea was to write a chapter on something and then have him analyse the chapter from a clinical psych mode and discuss the reasons why some meds worked and did not, for example.

He has a college classmate who is in publishing who had us in to discuss what I would need to get together to have such a thing considered by publishers. It seems a bit intriguing to me and I have begun some draft writings.

At the moment, it's a bit more interesting to me than XPT.

Per Bornyo's request: Bornyo asked me to post the fact that I had not been posting in AWOP since I did not get a chance to catch up on the posts. I have no idea why. Even I don't find it interesting ....

If I am away for a short period, such as I was for the Jewish Civil New Year, I enjoy reading every post made to the XXX Porn Talk Discussion Forums.

To that end I use the board's bolding of unread threads with the # of posts to read in parantheses. Since once you enter a forum it clears this information, I need to do this when I have enough time to read all the new posts in the entire thread in one sitting.

I had hoped to do that over Wed to Thurs last week. But, I found other things more pressing/interesting.

Like tonight I will be watching episode 4 of Ken Burn's "The War" on PBS. I've enjoyed the series very much so far.

To Ms. Swift: On the selection of pic … I look more like an ex-jock offensive lineman. When I actually did play football in junior high I was shorter than most my age and quite thin do I did not play lineman. I would sacrifice my body well. I was a second-string full-back in a wishbone, starting punter and defensive halfback [they didn't call it a cornerback]. I lost my defensive positive when I let a flanker [that's what they were called] get behind me when I bit on a odd rule variation. It seems in our high-school rules you could have 2 forward passes on a play as long as the 1st was behind the line of scrimmage. Since I was not coached on that and only knew pro rules I charged the back who threw for a touchdown.

: (

My football career ended when I was roughed from two sides while punting. I re-injured my knee which I initially hurt in 5th grade. I broke my wrist and dislocated my right thumb upon landing. I suffered a severe concussion and was unconscious when I was put on a stretcher. I was brought by ambulance to the hospital. When my parents were called about my injuries, they are livid since my mom had flatly refused to sign the release required for contact sports since she was sure I would get badly injured. On Monday they found out that I had forged my Dad’s signature.

I’m fairly strong and somewhat agile. I have an arthritic right knee and a slight tear in my right rotator cuff. Other than that I have no physical limitations.

On Thursday last week I brought 305 lbs of cat supplies up 5 sets of stairs:
* 5 40lb tubs of clumping litter – they were on sale at Costco with a limit of 5 w/coupon;
* 2 40lb bags of regular Fresh Step litter – my landlord prefers to use this when changing my cat’s litter when I’m away. I will be returning to FL for 10 days early next month.
* 1 25lb bag of cat food.

I do a lot of walking. I've been enjoying a walk I created I call the “”Weehawken Mile of Death” which ends with a slow jog up 2 sets of stairs ascending the Palisades that are like 141 steps in total. About 75-80 steps before "forced" to I slow my pace to walking at present.

Climbing up stairs is no problem. Walking down them is excruciating.

To SG: My recent "criminal" activity was brought up by ME. I'm not hiding from it. I wrote about it in a thread about "Have you ever been arrested" a couple months ago. Bornyo or James or Willie might take the time to search, but I'm not interest.

The note was an "update" to those following the events ... which was likely no one ... but that's never been a factor in my posting.


In April I had a altercation with a bus driver who said, when queried, that she stopped in Weehawken. She then drove on past it. When I tried to find out why she told me that she forgot this route doesn't stop there on that particular day and she forgot. Instead the 1st stop is about 5 miles away in the valley east and 100s of feet below the Palisades on which I live.

The next bus back was in about 4 hours [it was after 2AM]. I had no cash anyway and no ATM card on me. I had on my favorite dress shoes that now would be ruined.

But, what pissed me off was that she wouldn't give me back my ticket. She didn't perform the service. I wanted my ticket back. When she left me off in the middle of nowhere over an interstate, I took her plastic ID plack from it's holder and threw it down the embankment next to the exit ramp.

I then started my long uphill walk home.

Within 2 minutes I was surrounded by 3 police cars and charged at by the 3 policemen.

I was quite surprised since, for some unexplainable reason, I didn't think that anything was going to happen.

I admitted to doing the act and they tried to find the ID, but they wouldn't let me show them where I threw it. It was pitch dark and the weeds were 1-2 feet high. And, it wouldn't have mattered. She was filing a complaint anyway.

They had a tough time getting me in the car with handcuffs on since the cop who arrested me was another barrel shaped big boy. They would not let me lie down in the back and it was very hard to spin in the back seat with the cuffs on.

At the station they became angry at the bus driver when they caught her in 2 lies [they talked to her over radio - which is how the cops got there so quickly]. They were quite abusive. But, even I admitted that this did not mitigate my misbehavior.

The cops took a liking to me, rolled in laughter at my ID where my face is 95% blocked with hair and beard, enjoyed my sense of humor and I actually delayed my release - and their return to duty - while I recounted stories about the Dial-A-Mattress search warrant ... all the while cuffed to the floor.

I was surprised I was not fingerprinted or photographed. I did not have to post bail or anything. The lieutenant directed them to drive me "beyond the city limits" - which was their code for driving me home. So I was taken in a police car with another police car "escorting".

Since they did not have a good relationship with the Weehawken cops, they dropped me at the edge of Weehawken ... blocks closer than the bus would/should have.

They even gave the "stiff hand" wave when driving off.


Today with help from my attorney, I agreed to plead guilty to a disorderly persons violation and a fine.

The damn thing cost double with all the costs they added.

She still lives next door.

She filed a complaint about cat odor with the landlord right after "the incident". But, my landlord LOVES me now. [She did file to evict me in July 2006]. And, the girl said the smell had been there for months. But, she's the type that complains about everything and never mentioned it before.

Since I now go into the city daily, I sometimes end up at the bus stop at the same time as they. She won't even look at me, but her fiance gives me a reluctant "hey" reply.

She no longer frequents the deli across the street since after she complained about GD Clyde and his family the "regulars" know the tale.





I've recently been taking in by her ice blue-grey eyes ...

I enjoyed new year's - great food from step-mom and I appriciated the dinner guests [i.e., the "little bitch", my sister, wasn't there when I was].

Yom Kippur was odd since I was not allowed to completely fast from water, just food. And, it's never a "fun" holiday.

Tomorrow night is Sukkot, which I used to observe as a child but don't now. Sukkot is described in the Bible as the "Feast of Tabernacles" in many translations, though it has nothing to do with the Tabernacle.

..."On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Sukkot, seven days for HaShem. [Leviticus 23:34].

The 15th day of a Jewish month is the "full moon" since all months start with the "new moon". Starting on the full moon makes sense since the holiday is also called "Festival of Ingathering" - think of "Shine on Harvest Moon". Sukkot is also called the "Season of our Rejoicing" since many consider it the most joyous Jewish holiday.

Outside of Israel observant Jews treat the 1st 2 of the 7 days as holy days - no work, etc. In Israel only the 1st day is observed in this way.

Sukkot means "booth" or temporary shelters. You assemble the shelter or "Sukkah" yourselves. It must have all least 3 walls and the roof must be made of cut materials that grew from the ground [branches, bamboo, etc.] Kids take part in decorating the Sukkah with colorful natural items.

During the holiday you are to spend as much time outside as you can in a booth. Many just have their meals there.

Prayer services include the use of palms and a lemon-like item called an "Etrog". Some scholars of the new testiment believe Jesus' procession with the palms occured during Sukkot and not the week before Easter, since this is when traditionally the Jews parade around with palms.

Most US Jews whom I know don't observe the holiday.

The day after Sukkot is also a holy day.


Jews outside of Israel split this day into 2 separate holy days: Shemini Atzeret and Simkhat Torah. In Israel both are celebrated on the same day.

Shemini Atzeret means "the assembly of the eighth (day)" and is also commanded by Scripture.

"On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Sukkot, seven days for HaShem ... on the eighth day, there shall be a holy convocation for you." [Leviticus 23:34]

The rabbis consider Sukkot a holiday which is open to all mankind. So after you riff-raff leave, , HaShem invites us to stay an extra day for a private celebration.

Simchat Torah is a celebration of the completion of the Torah cycle and the beginning of a new Torah cycle. The Torah is the first 5 books of the Old Testement combined into one long scroll. The holiday reminds the Jews that study of the Torah never ceases.

It's a very joyous holiday and my second favorite after Passover.

HaShem means The Name. It represents the 4 letter unpronounced name of God which many mispronounce as "Jehovah" [I'm looking at YOU, Ceara!] and many think is pronounced "Yahveh".

Jews usually say Adonai, which means The Lord. Using "The Lord" was adopted my the Christians as well. Some very observant Jews will not use Adonai or "The Lord" unless it is during prayer or observance. The use HaShem or "The Name".

I like refering to the tetragrammaton as "The Name" more than as "The Lord" since it brings attention to that fact that it is a name and not a title. So this is almost always what I use.

The Jewish Civil Year starts in the seventh month of the Jewish Religious Year. The Religious Year starts in the spring with the month of Nissan which contains Passover.

I'm fascinated. Consider this a warmup for your book.
