Good grief: Treebeard got arrested

“Why wouldn't you be calling eachother or emailing privately this stuff, Capn Bobo? You all are full of pooh, imo.”

“Bobo, no, they only said they took him "downtown." I think he should have a prelim hearing sometime tomorrow and bail will be set then. Then we have to get a bondsperson and find out what it will cost for them to post bail. If you need to get back to work tomorrow, I can stay up there and catch a train back tomorrow night.

I figure I can break free around 6 and will head to your place. Figure about 7.”

“Lets discuss important matters on when and where to mee up to bail a friend out of jail who may be facing some serious assault charges over a web bulletin board. Please don't tell me liberals are really THAT stupid are they? I always gave them the benifit of the doubt... but...”

“Well.. if money is an issue... I'll staple a couple hundred dollars to the telephone pole on the corner of 7th Ave and 57th Street for you to pick up.”

“Did some research and found the weapon here.

"Warning: This is not to be used on kids, people with heart problems/pacemakers or on those of a nervous disposition or sensitive persons. Or you will be responsible for clearing up any mess out there!"”

“Oops! No that won't work.

I'll have to stop and get my drill and a sheet metal screw.”

“Clop, clop on pavement
Can you hear the people march
Free the Tree they chant”

“Sass - my thoughts exactly.

Violin - maybe some magnets.”

“Maybe 'Treebeard' was actually abducted by the Swift Boat Veterans and is being held for ransom. They won't release him until Kerry releases the rest of his medical records :-)”

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pray you meant 'poo', sass.
Please, please don't tell me they ate Winnie!!!! ;-)”

“

Insert dumb blonde joke here.”

“aero posted that pic like 50 posts ago.”

“'Don't point those things at me!'”

“How about I put a staple in that stupid hat you have on?”

“Look, for once this is no laughing matter. Mapleleaf is livid on the phone and twignut is twice as upset. Geobeet calls me first thing this morning and I didn't even know who or what the #@!$ he was talking about. This is the quickest way I know to get in touch with peeps.

I will be able to stay with you tommorrow Geo, let's get this done before anymore !@$# hits the fan....”

“but she has such cool pieces of flair.”

“If this isn't a laughing matter why do I find it so funny?”

“Hows it going bacpac?”

“Maybe that blond is a Hooker For Bush.....”

“Maybe they are hagglin' over the price of Tang.”

“It certainly is no laughing matter. I wouldn't be provoking somebody intent on putting something on a street pole, either. It certainly wouldn't be worth getting arrested over.

Sure sounds like a good ol' TT hoax to me. Too many signs point that way. I hope none of those signs are stapled into anyone.”

“Good one, Geo.

Conspirators: I give you credit as well.”

“Geo is a liar, and can never be trusted again!”

“So THIS is what transpired at Ithaca. ;-P

Good one guys! Yeah, Twink's post early on gave it away. And maybe something besides a staple gun.

And hey Geo, aren't you on deadline or sumthin'??”

“Actually we plotted world domination at Ithaca”

Is Phase 3 complete?”

“OK, I just got an angry email from Mapes......
I do believe this is real folks.

I'm very sorry for the joking, you Treepeople know I will never mean y'all harm.

Please don't stay angry at me Mapes...

Please let me know how I can help.”

“If mapes has time to send an e-mail, she has time to post here.

Like I said in a very early post, there's more to this story...”

“Mapes is a personal friend. She was responding to my personal email.
I think she doesn't want to feed the crap here, she's too upset and scared.”

“I owe you an apology Geo, Twinks and Bobo. I just found this photo on the net:





If you need any help. Just let me know.”

“I don't particularly want to engage in speculation . . .because then when it is a hoax . . .you look like an idiot .. .


but .. .


I have a hard time Geo would be able to reach anyone at NYPD regarding a non-family member who was incarecerated . .. ..


and . . .


all they said was that they were going to take him .. "downtown".


"Dowtown" ????? they've been taking people "downtown" since the Mod Squad . ..the Rookies, Adam 12, Car 54 . . ..hell . ..there must be so many folks downtown . ..


While twig's support gives me pause . .. .I am not sure about it, because she is friends with Bobo . ..and just saw him . ..



So I am going to go with Nigal's very astute comment a while back . .

it really was a "check and mate"

"Now, had MY friend stepped on his dick, broke the law and gotten busted I would have quietly bailed him out and let his handle the sharing of details."
Nigal

that comment, followed by Sass' observations, still have the edge in my book.


I am betting hoax. If not hoax . ...outright stupidity.



PS: I am also betting that they had to make Maple promise to keep quiet for fear she'd blow it.”

“It looks like they're trying to pull the staples out of his ass!”

“"Downtown" NYC is the financial district at the southern end of Manhattan. What an outsider would likely call "downtown Manhattan" is referred to as "Midtown."

Or something like that. :-)”

“I also found this picture on Violin's site (like the Photoshopped Treebeard arrest photo)

”

“...and Geobeet, Capn Bobo, Twinks, Stovestomper (brought in at a late date) and Maple (for her great Harpo Marx impersonation).

Yes, we went to the demonstration yesterday. That much was true. Maple and I were with Twinks and Maple's long time friend from Pa., who was the lady who rescued Crashbang at the Delaware Water Gap before the Ithaca trip. The demonstration was awesome. United for Peace and justice should be commended for the way they handed things. The organization did everything above board and complied with the law throughout. The exceptions were the few dopes who could probably screw up a wet dream. The march was peaceful, but passionate. It went off as well as could be expected. there were no altercations in my line of sight.

As for our little joke, thank you in advance for being good natured about it. Thank you to my favorite troll, who loves me so much and to Mutt, who came through exactly as I anticipated. Nigal, I was a good boy and didn't rattle any cages. Still love me?!!!!!!!”

“Had me fooled for a minute.”

“BASS TURDS!!!!!

Glad you're not in the pokey though...lol...”

“Dang it Treebeard! I thought you'd come back with some stories about being someone's beyatch in the slammer!”

“BAUGH!

I thought this didn't sound like you.

And to think, I was going to western union you sone cash to get your a$$ out of jail!

Thanks for the excitment on a pretty dull Monday.”

“HEY, I didn't support anything - I just mentioned rads swollen head which apparently impeeds his thought processes...did you mean twinks?”

“Photoshop? I don't even own Photoshop 7.0”

“Treebeard, now what am I supposed to do with this cake with the file baked inside?”

“Violin, that may be your best PhotoShop effort to date. You need to size the head to the body though.”

“I'm glad to hear you're not that stupid, Treebeard. Good hoax - got me hook,line,sinker.”

“Don't eat it, Zac!”

“thank you, Mutt. It's not everyday I get a compliment out of you! :)”

Now, nobody will believe you or anyone involved in the 'hoax'.”

“You guys didn't get enough posts for a sweatshirt, but your '100 posts in 24 hours' t-shirt is in the mail.”

“Dang it guys! You mean I stapled myself for nothing! That hurts you know!”

“Good to see that you had a positive experiance and didn't really live up to the assumptions. I would grade this a "1-B.".

I'm biased for the "Thank you TT..." authored by BB, just because it was sold so well and lasted so long.

Vi - I wanted to hold off on my FLMAO at yer pic. Very nice.

Many lessons to be learned, once again.....”
