    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ed Braaten (Thomison) Flying W Reptiles

cka said:
Wow...just...wow

Really, it can be like watching a reptile-themed version of the "Beverly Hillbillies" here sometimes. .

Chris, yer killen me, dude. And don't bother Granny while she is makin up a batch of possum stew. We all know how that turns out.
 
LMMFAO.... My friend Wes is playing a fiddle and man he is beating that devil LMAO...

Anyways.

I see a few things here after 40+ pages. Yep I read them lol.

1) Ed is stealing plain and simple.

2) Jody is a bit loony. One post he tells Wes not to call names but 80% of Jody's posts in this very thread is filled with name calling and threats. Funny huh?

Me I would pay Jody the money. But I also would be filing charges against him for the threats. DEATH THREATS at that. I would do everything I could to put him behind bars.

Jody got really upset when Ed said something about his kid. But Jody himself brought Ed's children into it. Then said I did not mean it so it is OK. WRONG BOTH were dead wrong

I think it is the lowest of all lows to bring children into a fricken deal that two grown men can not handle. And yes both people in this deal are low lives that could not "man up" and handle this without threats and honesty. Both parties seem to be in the wrong. One stole which is low. One threatened the lives of others which IMO is lower. Now, one does not make the other right. Either way you look at it.

IMO Ed should pay the man the money but also look into getting a lawyer and let this lawyer hear the tapes. Also give a copy of this very thread to the lawyer. It shows Jody as unstable. If Jody made said threats to my family I would make sure he had the book thrown at him for threatening my families lives. Money be damned.

The Deputy heard the messages. I talked to him on the phone about it. He said there was nothing he could do. If the officer refuses to file charges, there is nothing an attorney can do. Attorneys do not have the power to file criminal charges. Besides, Ed has enough other things that require a lawyer besides dealing with me. I think custody of kids and keeping his nose clean with the IRS are much more important. If he looses his kids to his ex wife and all his possessions to the IRS, are the phone calls really a concern?

If he is so hard up for cash why are you grasping at straws. Yep he ripped you off.Yep he is a cowardly little thief. But you can't get blood from a stone.
So what do you do get a judgement? Ever think he may have sold that snake.

That is you story so stick to it. I understand that the police actually encouraged Mr. Braaten to get a restraining order based on those calls though.
If there was nothing wrong with the calls why would that happen?

I believe that Mr. Braaten has not been 100% honest here but then neither have you.
 
I'm also pretty sure that a deputy is not the end of the line as far as getting charges filed for making Terrorist Threats, which is what death threats are out here.

There's the chain of command to be gone up and then, if you get the right lawyer, there are backdoors, not to be confused with assless chaps there jodio, to be gone through.

I think both of these guys are full of it. I also think ed owes jody, the crazy ape, money or a snake.

buc buc buc....buc buc... buckaww buckaww, ed. I'm trying to speak chicken as best I can so you know what I'm saying here. Comeon you cowardly little worm, answer a question or two. The silence is telling but there is always the chance, as unlikely as that is, that it is telling the wrong story. Come tell us about your side. buc buc buc buc....buckaw buc buc. BUCKAWWWWW

This is exactly the moronic chain of logic that has led virtually everyone on this thread to the conclusion that you are a complete wack job Jody. You make the claim that the deputy said there was nothing he could do yet in an earlier post, the deputy was doing all he could do to determine your location so he could arrest you. You can't have it both ways.

As John Dove stated, you damn near lost your mind when Ed brought up your kids and yet you are taking every opportunity to hrow his situation with his kids into the mix. You seem incapable of comprehending that an apology for crazy death threats does not wipe the slate clean.

Do I personally think Ed owes you the money?...probably. The problem is that neither of you has a shred of documented proof either way. In a court of law it will be up to you to produce evidence and, unfortunately, due to the way this deal went down, it does not exist. This is simply a case of "He said He said". Your main problem is that due to the way you present yourself, sympathy will, in all likelihood, not be on your side in any sort of a legal arena. The phone threats will be a serious blow to your credibility as well. The legal system takes that sort of thing very seriously.

If Ed is unwilling to step up and do the right thing here, I think you have exhausted your reasonable alternatives. Of course, you still have the option of going "crazy ape" on him as a few here seem to recommend. Given your choices on this so far...your pursuing that route would not surprise me.
 
laterz

I'm going to let yall beat the dead horse. It's not the horse that deserves the beating. I'll have to do what I have to do because Ed will not anwer questions. I'll check back and see if Ed takes any of the offers as far as shipping the snake back. I'll tell you this, it ain't over till the fat lady sings. So, as soon as Wes stops typing and starts singing maybe there will be some end in sight.

I'll let you know when I get it took care of one way or the other, it is up to Ed how I handle it. He has my email and phone number and address so he knows what to do.

If yall feel the need to continue go ahead.

That would be the exit I would have expected...on the heels of a couple more threats.

LA LA LA LA ..... that was a good one, fat lady, singing, me, not bad at all.

Of course, it's a good one if you're in fourth grade.

Way to go you crazy silly ape, you made a Fourth grade funny. That's excellent progress. Maybe, doubtful but one never knows, you'll actually make an adult funny and we can all laugh WITH you instead of AT you.

You and your chaps have fun on your journey. I'm sure we'll all hear about it in the papers. In fact I can see the headline now:

Crazy Ape in Assless Chaps ASSaults Dimwitted Theif.
ap wire
A game of buttdarts and targets was played by an insane ape wearing only assless chaps today when he ASSualted and deflowered a spineless coward and theif all the while appologizing for abusing his phone and insisting that he was not a cretin but asking if a cretin was some sort of yuppie fruit.

"I'm not a fruit," the ape was heard to say, "I'm just a man whose sorry he used his phone. I should have just driven the 500 miles with two broken elbows to collect my money from the guy who robbed me."

"I'm where? I drove how far? There's how much vasoline in my car? Are you sure it was me? You are? How? Ohhh, the phone messages, yeah, I'm really really sorry about that. You see I meant it but didn't really mean it I was just mad and now I'm sorry because I meant it but didn't really meant it. There was how much KY in my car? My ass is covered in KY and Vasoline? I have no idea how that happened."


He was also heard to ask, "can someone find my underwear, the seat of this car keeps pulling my asshair," while trying to sit sideways in the backseat of the cruiser of the officers who arrested him for public lewdness and gross stupidity.

Officers were skeptical of his story to say the least.

I do not care what other issues he has. You threatened his life. BOTTOM LINE. You are no better then him. I could not care less what an officer says.

Come on Gary...he said he was sorry.

Personally, I have gotten to the point with our good buddy Jody that i do not really care much about the resolution of this situation. It is hard to work up a lot of sympathy for someone who is this big of a tool.
 
Ed ripped Jody off. You can spin that anyhow you want. If Jody made a few "impolite suggestions", shame on him. Do you idiots actually believe the "last man talking" is automatically right?

No nobody believes that or you would be right Jim
 
John, I often wonder if you're reading the same posts I am. Then, it occurs to me that you're just so freakin' stupid, you don't know any better.

Are you drinking and posting again? :rolleyes:
 
Hitting the liquid courage again are ya Jim.... Your just pathetic. Stealing is one thing. But making threats against ones life is just wrong period. Your the only one waving those pom poms for this loose cannon.

Yeah, I have been the only one doing a a lot of things for a long time. John, maybe you would be best off just go back to doing what you do best.

I have no idea what that is, but you would probably be well advised to go back to doing it.
