sad_winslow · 06-27-2010, 04:31 PM

Wow, and here I am all completely oblivious to all this. i had no idea, i just remembered the hot dog thread and how cool i thought it was. didn't know anything about the dude. yet again, my faith in humanity, slightly crushed once more. sigh. i think *that* is where the "sad" in "sad_winslow" comes from.

It might, if there were pictures.

Was she an illegal alien or why was he so up tight about that issue? It seemed to me that all her assimilation was completely legal from his posts. I never understood that aspect.

It wasn't her nationality which prevented him from running the cart, it was just that (supposedly) she didn't want him to do it. As it turns out, foreign women are not better at knowing their place than American women, and his... well, let's set aside the question of possible financial restitution, and merely call it an arranged marriage... did not seem to be the joyful bliss he had instructed it to be.

I believe there was an issue with moving far away from family - not sure if it was his or hers though. IIRC he had family, perhaps and uncle where he moved.

Clodfobble · 06-27-2010, 11:08 PM

He had an uncle in Florida, who already ran a successful hot dog cart. Her whole family was back in Vietnam, where she had made every effort to stay even after they were married, up to and including giving deliberately wrong answers at her greencard interviews (things like, "Where did you and your husband first meet?") He also talked about how she tried every excuse in the book not to have to have sex with him.

I'm surprised I'm the only one who remembers all this, it was quite the entertaining train wreck at the time.

xoxoxoBruce · 06-27-2010, 11:09 PM

I remember.

sad_winslow · 06-28-2010, 12:31 AM

god, that's horrible. i'm kind of sorry i brought it up. i was hoping that somewhere, somebody normal and decent with a small dream made something happen. bah.

Hey Winslow, check out Grifftopia. Is there a thread for it? Anyone?

Man, I missed a lot of the details about Radar ... but none of it surprises me. I kind of miss him, just for being so far out there.

classicman · 06-28-2010, 08:05 AM

Wow Clod - your brain/memory never ceases to amaze me. With all you have going on, you still have the capacity to remember all that. I'm struggling to remember all that I need to lately.

Yeh, me too. Zen - He made me appear closer to normal. I miss that.

morethanpretty · 06-28-2010, 08:18 AM

I remember when he said he would rather kill his wife than let her leave him...that's real dedication right there!

Sundae · 06-28-2010, 11:14 AM

And that if his wife got a boobjob their marriage would be over because it meant she was going to cheat. And that wasn't just a private issue, he applied it to every woman out there - including female Dwellars (despite evidence to the contrary).

It was somethig along the lines of every woman gets the richest man she can for her looks. Or every man gets the best looking woman he can afford. Quite shocking.

I do miss him though. I like me some cranks if they aren't too prolific.

Heh, it's all long-term vs. short-term. I can remember Radar's Jerry-Springer-drama from a couple years ago, but I'm not sure if I even had breakfast this morning, let alone what I might or might not have had.
