Good grief. Hey Spike. Maybe you need to call the GM and try to get him fired!

WPDE is Barrington Broadcasting formerly known as Benedek Broadcasting.
I hope he moves there soon.

How does he work down there and get in so much truoble up here?

What if we e-mailed some of the putnamlive stories to the wpde newsroom.
The ones with Mark as the subject that looks like an idiot?

He called my office this morning because of my comment - seriously - and invited me down to see the corruption.

The link contained a picture, not working. Was it the picture of Mark, with the killer fish?

However, in Lester's semi-absence, I'll mention that I seem to recall hearing that Mark has initiated legal action against people on this board for what has been said about him on this board....

I called him a dipshit once, but I think I got away with it.

Scott Reppert · Post by **Scott Reppert** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 1:45 pm

Like most of you that read my posts and know nothing about what I am talking about, I am the same with most of these posts.

The only thing that I know is the when I first read this:

ap news alert wrote:...Sonny "Joe" Sisk...

I asked myself the question: "former Spinal Tap drummer, perhaps?"...

genlock · Post by **genlock** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 1:51 pm

There was a "Skinny" sisk from the Beckley who passed away some time ago. He was a minister and a former paratrooper with E co/506 PIR.
The actor that portrayed him had a few scenes in "Band Of Brothers".
Is this the same one?

One morning at the Putnam County Courthouse:

"Your Honor ... Genlock and The People's DJ talk about me and Hoosier Daddy said .. (snickers are heard from the back row of the courtroom) .. hey, that's not funny, stop laughing .. anyway, Arp2 was correcting my English all the time and trying ... huh? ... Arp2, your honor -- that's his name .. (more snickers and a few giggles) .. Hey, you guys cut that out .. It's not funny .. Anyway, Arp said I was a small minded twit and Ashton On The Beach came back and agreed ... Sir? ... Yes ... Ashton On The Beach ... well, I have it as four separate names on the court docket but he runs it all together when he makes his insulting comments and Arp never says anything about HIS sentence structure and Jag and Dave in the Morning are part of this too ... (subdued laughter is heard) .. and Bob Loblaw is supposed to stop this abuse because he's a ... (uncontrollable laughter now, even from the Judge) .. Huh? Bob Loblaw, Sir. No, I'm not making fun of you. That's how it sounds when you read it: Bob Lob Law. I know, your Honor. But they're picking on me all the time and after dealing with Wal-Mart and the city of Hurric-- ... (a mixture of groans, cat-calls and laughter are heard) .. It's just that Lester is in Iraq and Mike Blair is fighting Klingons now and he doesn't run things anymore and I ... Hey, Stop! Leave me Alone!! Get your hands off me!!! What do you mean you're commiting me to a mental institution against my will??? You can't do this!!! I'm Mark Hallburn!! I'll sue your asses!!! Stoooooopppppppppp!!!!!!!!!"

You forgot one thing HD. I'm the cheap shot artist.

You know. Let him try. I'm sure as Admins we can dig up all of his post in the recycle bin and have one hell of a defense.

Hoosier Daddy, in the role he was born to play, wrote: ... Anyway, Arp said I was a small minded twit....

Did I say that? ("Small-minded" should be hyphenated, of course.) I know I've said he can't write (he can't) and that he has a lot of nerve complaining about noise when he intentionally lives within 300 or so feet of an interstate that runs from one of the biggest ports on the Atlantic ocean to the biggest distribution hub in the middle of the country, but..........

...and after dealing with Wal-Mart....

How long can this possibly go on????

Just generally speaking, the private sector gets it done! Wal~Mart, especially! Everytime I've seen a Super Wal~Mart going up, dirt gets turned, and it's done and open within three or four months! What the frick you guys got goin' on down there???
