...maybe it was an April Fool's? :) ...or maybe this is? ;)

**** you april fools. I footed the god dam print bill april fools. I charged the ****ing shipping april fools.
I put my self in hock to my ex april fools. **** that dot com. Kiss my ass this is a joke. Yeah, jokes on me, I'm left with 300 ****ing copies of something I don't got the rights to ****ing move now.

300 issues of toilet paper now. How am I gonna explain this to the wife now?

C'mon mayo, for everyone here, no pansy ass phone messages.

Wow...glad I took days off of work to shoot photos downtown. This sucks. I am on the lookout for a gimpy fixed Merckx...

Now I get a message that if I go ahead, there could be "recriminations"..

Lawsuits? Migidit ****ing toe nails on crackers, son of a *****.

C'mon Mayo... pony up mr recluse..

In reference to the title of the thread, "when in doubt, whip it out"

I say push it out since there are no credits/copyrights based on the original idea behind this and the submissions. If he won't grab an oar, throw his ass to the sea

I say we find his bike and light him up.
I wonder if he actually rides, no one here has really met him.

I hate when mommy and daddy fight.

Yuk it up pal. It wasn't your efforts that went into it.

He blocked my phone number now, so I can't even call him.. and his email comes back as "not valid".

I'll be all the man and wait for a good reason, not some cheap no reason cop out.

**** that. sell them anyway.

No f***in' way!

No f***in' way!

Believe it.

I almost can't believe it.. all the effort, all the time.. and mr. Salinger wanna be gets turtle on it.

this is sooo April 1st... it's gotta be

Whoa there, champ. I'm not laughing at you. The retreat into absurdity is how I always react to sucky things.

Here, I'll try to be constructive : You've already produced these things, right? Or at least are so far into the process that there's no backing out. I'd say you offer Mayo the chance to reimburse you for all that, and write off the idea of trying to do nice things for people for a while until the burn heals, or just put the damn things out anyway. It'd suck if somebody stole 'em from you and then released them, wouldn't it? ;)

You know I'm glad people want to make life of such a ****in predicament. I'm glad people wanna think it's all fun and games. I wish it were. I wouldn't be up **** ****in creek with out a paddle. Call it funny all you want. I hope you get hosed like this once too. Really. Go lick a goat. Turd.

CMON MAYO! I know you're on line, I've seen you loggin in...... Fess up, what's the story??

And Mayo, quit leaving me snide little messages acting all pissed off..

Welcome to this week! That's what I'm saying, put it out for us ALL to see.. All of us. Not just me, but 165, the other photo providers.. **** for the forum in general...


This is soooo much BS I can't ****ing stand it, you've got no idea how REALLY pissed off I am about this mess.....

Allready produced.. that's not the 1/2 of it. They are sitting waiting for me to pick up. The phone messages are off the hook. Some how he sends them and doesn't call me direct. It's like jeckle and hyde man I tell you what.

Well WK, I know you are pissed, but send them out. All you need is permission to publish and you've got that right in this thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=46418) and probably in a lot of other emails between the two of you. Done deal. It's in writing.

Legal action? Ha! Who's Mayo kidding?

I'm only suggesting publishing so you can recoup the cost, because if it was me and I could afford to, I doubt I'd be spreading around the writing of someone who didn't appreciate all the effort I went through.

Send them out, get your money back and try to move on.

Thanks.

My apologies Joe. I'm just a little bit upset about the whole thing. I'll keep it down. Just a little bit MAD right now.

Understood, I figured this was important enough to you not to edit or move to the trash. Hence the public warning. Just keep it clean, thats all I ask. Good luck with the publishing, or getting your money out of it.

So, Willy... how much you out ?

Jeff,

It's not a matter of the money, though that certainly does put a little salt in the wounds. Just the fact of the collective effort. And now I've got a box full of intellectual property issues. This, stinks, for lack of a better word.

Sigh. Guess I'll pack it in for the night. In fact, I think I'm gonna call it done from the forums. This kind of stuff really, just makes it all sour. I'm done.

It is more than dollars (although I'd gather to say 5 hondos large???) alone, its a measure of time and coordinations also. To have the lack of decency to pull the cord on this...next time I see some hump drafting me on the LFP, I'm locking it up. And if the top tube says "Mayonnaise"...I'll make sure they know what it is like to be spread thin all over the place.

i fail to see what's so vulgar about asterices...

Implied vulgarity. I can see the reasoning behind this as it is in the guidelines. Doesn't mean I like it...

I sometimes wonder whether the ss/fg forum should come with it's own guidelines for that, seems pretty much everyone here would be happy for things not be *'d out. I dunno.

Sorry to hear about the situation WK and all the other contributors. One of the people on here is a lawyer right? Maybe they can give some help on whether it's ok just to go and send them anyway. Besides which it's just to people on the forums, it's not like it's being sold in a bookstore.

I may not have a job quite yet, but i'd still throw some bucks in to recover the cost.

WK-

It may not be about the money, but that doesn't mean you have to take the hit. It's a community thing. Set up a paypal account. I'm sure we will have no problem making you whole....monetarily.

Well, I have time to think about it, that is ponder my rash decision... and after reading several opinions here, I have to agree with what a lot of folks have said. It's hard sometimes to come to grips, and after so much effort, and time.. and with the ability there has been for those written words to stir emotion, seems to be that things even now stir the same way the stories did when they were first posted. I mean that's what it was all about so, per recommendation of several people here, PM's included.... I've come to the conclusion about what to do. It wasn't easy, and, well, there's a lot of things that have passed and some folks are gonna feel that certain things weren't done right.... So I've decided






































To admit that it was an April fool's joke. :D And you all rock for being suckers about it. :D And for those who caught it, and then fell for my tirades, I got nothing but love for ya' :D... And for Joe who tolerated a weeee bit of foul language.. Thanks.





The copies are in. They are basic. Raw. Uncut. Elegant in the simplicity. First glance is that it's just a simple paper collection. But, as you look, you catch wind of a spirit. Something more than you expect, and far removed from the artificial need for complexity. Some get it, some don't. Just like riding fixed.

Tommorrow, a post will be up about the minor cost, and a limited offer.

Thanks for tolerating my sense o humour.

:D

Last time I try to be nice...

I think I pulled something.

Okay. Who has a rifle that can shoot from Chicago to San Diego? :)

C'mon, you? Fragile?

I do! I do! Who we shootin' at?!?!?

jeez i guess a lot of people thought mayo might have been pulling your leg, never thought it was actually you pulling ours. Damn I feel stupid.

You don't love me no more?

:eek:

PEOPLE:
Do not consider yourselves anything than what you truly are (except you Schiek, I am still trying to reach the Underhills). So a joke was played. Hell, the other 364 days out of the year I have NO excuse for my stupidity. So get out your Life score cards and check the box for "Today I stuck to my guns."

C'mon, you? Fragile?
Et vous sérieux?

Fragile, yes...I bruise like a peach.

serieux...I like the Cocoa Puffs.


You don't love me no more?

First you make my mascara run, and now this. There is only so much I can give.



BTW, did you notice above where "un-six-cinq" has gone all Continental on us? Somebody alert TR.

Streners:

You were at the circus. So was I. The difference bieng: you were the audience. I was the clown. Feel better? :o

I prefer the much cooler spelling of '1ne 6ix 5ive'

Blah


I'm glad your of good humour 'bout it. I'm wondering how people will react come mornin' time.

April fool's

Well played. What's your address? Y'see, I'd like to send some friends over to 'congratulate' you..

where's the party at?

Don't any of you own calenders?

I lived in Oakland Jim bob.. near the lake, (merrit, that is) not really the nicer area. Spent some time panhandling outside tower records.

I'll be in that general area mid April for a weekend. If you wanna black some eyes, let me know.
