The Professor's Halloween performance - any info?

Someone from JREF is going to have to get TP permission to use the cemetary after 7:00. We've done everything else for him and he seems incapable. It sure takes a lot of spoons to feed this guy.

Only asking for a link to ensure I didn't jump to conclusions ;)

Aha! I see TP is online and browsing his MDC thread - maybe an update is on its way?

[rushes off to the MDC sub-forum]
 
The Professor looks like he has gone into melt down mode over at the cafe. He is saying it was not just anyone who reported him, it was Darat and two others. How would he know who reported him? It could have been someone local who saw him do something that may have been a criminal act (break and enter) and reported it to the police.

He has also written other rubbish.

Should see a post here soon from him. He is browsing the forum as we speak.

The Professor was asked more than once if he had permission to use the cemetery. He never gave an answer.

[speculation mode]
I would suspect that somebody probably called the cemetery and asked about it and that set the professor on the path to fail. Probably did not require anyone to do anything else, since the people running the place probably don't want to see it turned into a circus.
[/speculation mode]

The JREF would have been nuts to get involved with an illegal effort. If the professor cannot make the effort to keep things within the bounds of the law, he has only himself to blame.

Wow! I don't normally go over there but after reading the drivel, I had to register and post a message. Sorry for continuing the discussion here about another forum but he drags Darat through the mud pretty thoroughly.

Well, now, if the people who run the cemetery saw him setting up or even just hanging around, and he didn't have permission to be there, than it is more than likely THEY are the ones who called the cops.


I'm a long time "graver", and I don't know of a cemetery anywhere that doesn't reserve the right to refuse service to anyone - and that includes visiting the grounds. Behave or be gone.

Also as a long time visitor of graveyards, I don't know a single one still in operation that doesn't have someone looking over it on Halloween.

Seriously, if he didn't have the foresight to ask the owners or the police, he must have been raised on failflakes with failsauce.

Sorry desertgal but your comments only apply in the real world. In The Professor's world only what he says is true. All else is lies.

You could point out that Darat hasn't published any PMs.

ETA: Sorry - never mind, I see that you (or someone) did. :)

Why am I reminded of someone sinking into quicksand shouting angrily, "This is all your fault! Why didn't you tell me I had to read that warning sign!".

TP now seems to be claiming that by making a statement about the rejected posts, Darat has revealed the content of the PM's sent to TP telling him that the posts were rejected. :rolleyes:

Jim got busted by the cops apparently before he was due to go "on air".Something to so with an old woman dying on halloween on the internet I think(go figure).

So rumours(no doubt started by TP)are JREF members called the cops.

Azrael, care to share your source for this? I haven't been able to find any info online.

I'm also curious who the other two accused are. Considering Mr Koenig has been particularly specific about the number allegedly (he didn't use that word) involved, he must have an idea as to who they are.

Here's my thing: does it matter who called the police (if anyone did)? If Dave didn't have permission to be there, then he didn't have permission to be there. If he had had permission to be there, then it wouldn't have mattered if God called the police -- permission is permission.

What's sad about this is that in the whole long sordid discussion of his protocol, many MANY members of this Forum have said many MANY times "make sure you get permission to be there."

So if he doesn't bother to do this, and then gets in trouble with the law because he's trespassing, it's our fault?

RoboTimbo hits it pretty close, I think -- it's our fault because we didn't set it up for Dave. We knew what would happen and wouldn't fix it for him -- no, we just explained to him what he'd need to do. Sheesh! Poor Dave was all tied up in figuring out a way to make a magic trick seem real -- how could we expect him to take care of little details like oh, I don't know, getting permission to use the site? What were we thinking?
 
I'm not sure The Professor was at the Devils Chair on Friday night. I think the issue is to do with Mr Callahan's event, which, despite significant publicity, kinda fizzled.
