    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.

    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....

hello scott

Scott,
Not a word has been said about you .
also It was other people that were there that night that told about russ and the vicodens maybe they should speak up.
but they are afraid of russ why?
after all they still hang out with him.
yes this a mess but for russ he was the one that screwed up
he caused all this and thats it.
I didnt know he was dirty or I would not have dealed with him.
and it was 2 mambas not one .
all deals from now on are cash on delivery better yet no more deals all this crap has soured my opinoins of many herpers.
and i will pick friends more carefully.
 
i dont know of anyone

no bud there was not anyone else but me and russ thats it .anyone else that says they were their ,were and are lieing because i took him to the hospital and stayed there till his wife got there so no there was nobody else there and i will stick by that he was not on any vicoden or any other drug that night cause again like i said i wouldn,t have been there and that my friend is the truth take care scott
 
the reason

and yes i know nothing has been said about me but i also feel that if you are going to be spreading news it should be fact not fiction and i just wanted to straighten that one fact up because on that matter like i said i was there and it makes me look bad that someone is writing that and it make all people that hold hots look bad for anyone who might stumble on this site including county commisioners ect. so writing it hurts everyone even though everyone wasn't envolved not too long ago i was watching the news and someone got busted with a butt load of pot and had gators and reptiles in the house with them and they said there were statistics that about 39% of all drug raids they find some kinda reptiles more deadly than not so basicly im saying is that by bringing that up your confirming there statistics even though what was said isnt true about the medications everyone knows i was there so you are lumping me in with poping pills ....and yes i do take medications but i also have 4 herniated disk in my back and i do not own or will ever own hots but i do own snakes and i wouldnt want to loose that right because of misstatment on anyones part and yes you might be right on the fact that russes incedent has set the ball rolling but its others that keep it rolling so all im asking is get the facts straight before you write them see ya
 
ok here are sme more facts

Scott,
I know you were the only one there at the moment he was bit.
Ok, how about a couple hours earlier dave and dan were there right?
If you want to continue to try to deniy that I will have to post the exact nights events as given to me the day after the bite .
If I do many more people will be mad at me cause I have the facts right from his own camp!
Then it would start up again! this time cops might be listening
So I would drop it I dont care about it all I want is my two medium sized black mambas.

I have been told everthing he said at joes yesterday he has ten blacks right now so if he wants to end this why not just pay me ?

My facts are right and true and I have much more but I am
holding back due to the fact he might pay me now?
I will post a positive retraction to the deal but its up to russ.
It always was his ball game he came to me to get my snakes
I did not ask to be shafted.

Getting ripped off brings out the worst in people and I am no exception.
Now I am very bitter with many people he seems to control.
and ripoffs in general there have been people that had no other
choice than to cave in to russ for what reasons I don,t care but its strange to say the least.
That a careless guy gets nearly killed is now rewarded with cash and the innocent victim he never paid gets made out to be a bad guy?

The facts turn into slander with a evil think they are kings.
This planet never ceases to amaze me I have put in for reasignment.
after he pays me none of you will have the chance to get me again cause Im done dealing with guys like these it seem there is nothing but freaks and weirdos and theifs im over it the hobbys shot.
so pay me russ so I can never see any of you guys again
its been a sad and sick hayride into hell.

How bout it big guy?
If you have a shred of decency left lets end it before its too late.
cause I am on the edge of no return then its too late to negotiate any more

:angry:
 
somethig to read

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know your word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values. We confess that:

"We have ridiculed the absolute truth of your word and called it pluralism.

"We have worshiped other gods and called it multiculturalism.

"We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.

"We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

"We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.

"We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

"We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

"We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

"We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.

"We have abused power and called it political savvy.

"We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

"We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

"And we have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

"Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us; cleanse us from every sin and set us free.

"In the name of your son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."
 
And the problem with worshipping multiple gods is what, exactly? I was raised in the Wiccan faith and I am damn proud of it. I do not understand why anyone could call me "evil" because the faith of my heart and my heritage is different from theirs. Our beliefs have to do with respecting and preserving nature, and also with honor and personal responsibility.

If there were more people in the reptile world who acted like Wiccans, we would have a lot less animal abuse and more people who were concerned to keep their word in a deal, because our religion says that your word is to be your bond and breaking it is spiritually harmful. This isn't to say that there might not be some Pagans (like there are some Christians) who might not live up to the tenets of their religion so well, but a good Wiccan who was sincerely trying to live by the codes of his or her faith would *not* be likely to end up as the subject of a "bad guy" thread on the BOI.

And isn't bringing religion into this thread more than a little off topic?
 
well bud

well bud i dont know about your tempertantrums or anything your going on right now but i do know of 3 time russ has tried to call you and know one has returned his call or answerd the phones but i did talk to him today and he does intend on paying you but as you know or well probably dont care he is not at his best and will give you your snakes when he gets better because he really doesnt feel up to bagging them but he want you to call him and he says you know the number and to give him a call and he will explain it all to you so like i said its in your court
 
yea a little flustered

It was a prayer that has made the rounds on the Internet since 1996 when it was delivered before the Kansas House of Representatives.

I had no idea it would ruffle any scales sorry there are parts that apply to this thread. guess which one.

as for the post about the calls I realy don't want to talk any more with russ why? I dont want to go over it again he can simply have one of his minions deliver them to me if thats alright I know russ was messed up more than anyone in recorded history from a mamba attack so I have a amount of sympathy for him to bad he did not learn from watching me innoculate but thats his deal.

scott,
I need all the help I can get to end this and if what you say and what russ says is true I will lay off any further posts and prepare to complete my end of the deal.
I think that is fair dont you?
I am off tomorrow and saturday try to have dave or danny
help russ bag the snakes I will meet them or have them drop them off to me [dan does not work so he is a good one to do it].
if he would have had me help him the night he got bit all of this would not have happend another reason that you pay off deals rather than hide in the darkness so I would not know he had a black mamba see what it caused.
so I will accept a call from danny or dave I know they are mad at me too but he is their buddy and I can still talk to them without anger.
So I stand by waiting.

:alien:
 
bud

bud russ asked me to write to you to tell you that he will get them to you and that it will be 3 to 4 weeks when he is able to get to them bag them and deliver them he also said he never denied oweing you the mambas you just flew off the handle so for now i dont know what to tell you but he said he will get them to you and it will be asap so till then care
 
I was more than patient

We agreed 3 months 8 months later I went off ?
GRRRRRRRRR
Three to four weeks sh#T he gets anywhere he needs to whom is he trying to fool.
he was over here he was over to stevens and joes?
I want to end this I hate being here this place reeks of ignorance.
Thanks scott for trying but this is the same story he was pulling for the last 8 months.
If he can come up with any way to speed this up it will help.
he never denyied he owed me he just never paid me same thing.
no detraction till I get the snakes then ok.
:angry:
 
ok russ ill wait

But then if I dont get the snakes phase 3 will begin.
And I don't want to have to go that low.
many herpers will be mad when the news shows the picket signs
the people that live around you will hate you
and the publicity it will cause they will want to ban all hots
and I don't care any more!!!
It will be all your fault.
see you in 3- 4 weeks im counting down.
dont try to go anywhere I will be watching and my spies will keep track of you!
see you then:mad:
 
Re: ok russ ill wait

bud mierkey said:

Yeah? Well I DO care, and it will be your fault if you choose a way to get even with Russ that messes things up for the decent people who keep venomous snakes.

Go beat the cr@p out of this dude or whatever if he doesn't pay up, but if you deliberately act out in a way that screws things up for everyone else who keeps hots, you will be the bad guy who is hurting people who don't deserve it. I'd rather not have my snakes taken away because you got mad at this guy Russ.
 
Things seem to be rolling now

Well sorry about my ranting but it has seemed to get the ball rolling.
I have talked to a bunch of people today and several new senarios.

pass this on to russ can go up to bushnell and bag the snakes myself.
that would end this a lot sooner than 4 weeks think about it.
to anyone that I have gotten mad in this you have to understand When you become a collaborator with russ you became a target just like war so maybe you should have picked
your friends better.
I warned all his buddies that I was going to put all this dirt up here weeks ahead of time I got no response too bad it had to get to this stage.
when richard said to me there is gonna be a war he was right.
the only part that he did not know was it would be my war not russes .
And war is hell for both sides I am not proud of this mess but
let it be a example to people so they might not have to loose friends and make enemys of others also.
never trust anyone to pay you later tell them no this will save a lot of pain.


:toiletcla :no01:
 
well...

...bud, you said maybe you should have picked your friends better. I guess it could also be said (i'm sure you know this) you should pick who you sell (or give) your snakes to better.

I agree with Tanith, you shouldn't "punish" the whole hot herp community because you made a mistake. My experience has been, and I've never seen this fail, that a loser telegraphs that he's a loser and people who get taken are generally ignoring many warning signs. I consider this board one of the major warning signs. While it is possible to get taken by someone who truly is a loser (like this guy seems) and not know it, i gotta think it's pretty rare.

good luck,
 
loser or no loser

bud i have talked to him about that and ya you have made some enimies from what he is telling me is that the guy who has them will not allow you on his property and will not bag them for russ to give to you again IM TRYING TO HELP HERE but he told me when he is ready to bag and handel the mambas again you will be the first on to know it and you will get them again bud you take care and ill do whjat i can to help out


see ya
scott
 
I would hate to see Bud do anything silly over this, so I suppose I could bag them if this was an acceptable solution for everybody and if you can't find anybody else who lives closer. It's a long drive for me, so it would be better if you found somebody who was acceptable to everyone (or at least not involved in the feud) who lived closer.
 
hows your bite

bud im sorry to here about your bite if its true bye the gila you doing alright i know it probaly nothingg compared to the bites you have had in the past but i thoughtt i would see how you were doing ..and i dont kno aunt venoum if that would be a good idea i think it would be wrong to bring any morre people int o this situation im going to let them deal with there own thing because i tink im starting to get a bad name in all ofthis and the last thing you need is to get mixed up in it but thanks for the offer :D
 
Scott, I appreciate your concern for me.

However it should be clear to all on this thread that there is a standing offer on the table to bag those snakes. I presume that I do not have such an awful reputation that I would not be allowed on this person's property? I assume all risks and have my own antivenom. I do a lot of hands-on veterinary work with mambas; getting them into a bag is no big deal.

I don't think this leaves a lot of reasons for Bud not to get his mambas. It would be nice if you could find somebody closer to do the bagging, but the offer stands. Not being able to get them bagged should no longer be a valid reason to delay getting Bud his snakes.

I can also think of another good idea; why not transport the mambas to Bud in the cages they are already in, and allow him to take out the snakes? The courier would of course take the cages back as soon as Bud had opened them and removed the snakes. That seems like a fairly simple and workable notion.
