I can't really remember if he ever took the bet or not.
From what I read, he didn't.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MD', 'S')till strange. Gid/Cash ole buddy if you do peek in and see this: You are a Strange Bird!
Beyond strange. Some of the stuff he posted as Gideon was bizarre. He apparently has some sort of discipline fetish. He'd go on and on about it.

There is a credit crisis - banks don;t give people money, people don;t have money to buy useless stuff , economy falls.
The crazy thing is :
People give newly created money (yes people should be the only ones with this power) to the banks to "Save" them so they can keep borrowing at interest
Why do they the people need the middle man the banks ? Because they control everything, and in fact is not the people who have created the money , the banks did it , they saved themselves from drowning by "pulling themselves by the hair" and placed the debt on the people. They own everything

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', 'I')f the elections are not held I'll betchya he comes back, if for only one post.
Since you bring up the same situation Roc and I talked about last, I'll offer the same bet to you which I did to him; I'm sure you know my wager.
Either I'll post no more or you (and any IP close to yours) won't.
In fact I'll offer it to anyone: if there are no elections on 11.4.08, on 11.5.08 anyone who takes my bet can have free run of my account here for as long as they can - just send me a PM before election day and I'll send you my password on the 5th if I lose.
If I win then you lose here.
Talk is cheap, tapping nonsense into the ether is less than cheap and I think talking crap into the ether to stroke ones own fantasies at the expense of those looking for a little honesty and perspective is worse.
I'm way outside the CoC but I'd ask:
Any takers or are you just talkers?
Hmmm.........Now it starts to make sense.
Rocc bet Pops that the election wouldn't happen on Nov. 4th? And Rocc was going to have to give up his account if the election happened?
Well, the election is going to happen.
Rocc was going to lose his account in a couple of weeks anyway....
Its much more dramatic for Rocc to claim he will never post again because he is going into seclusion to hide from the world's travails in his bunker, then for him to never post again because he lost his foolish bet about the elections.
I'll bet the bet with Pops is the real reason Rocc stopped posting. Rocc isn't hiding from societal collapse....
Rocc is hiding in a hole so he can welch on his bet to Pops.
Can't fool a secret agent psychiatrist, can you? My, But if you want to write books for dummies you have to name them for dummies.
HIDY HOLES for dummies would outsell hiding holes for dummies.
Yes, charlotte, there is going to be an election.
And Obam is going to be president,
And McCain can finally let his gut hang out again and take a deep breath, he didn't want to do it anyway.
