I know a few of you have come into conflict with him, but many of us enjoy his presence! I rarely have been offended by his intelligent humour.In the meantime, Ricard, me thinks I smell a Skundingle (a rather smeagol-like figure we encountered on the Bernard Herrmann Society MB).

BigKenLittle 6 Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Didn't I recently read a post from Figo saying that his radio show is moving to a better time slot and quite possibly being syndicated... If that is the case, as having worked in radio, I know he's got a lot of work in front of him. We probably won't hear much from Figo for a while... But don't worry, I am more than willing to take up the "irascible old fellow" mantle until his return... NOW get off my lawn you crazy kids!!!!!

Ren 75 Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 You know KM, I have to agree with Neil. As much as Figo's comments piss off other people, myself included, I really think that was a little out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Five Tones 302 Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 Agreed -- even if I have never felt myself to be his "victim." Perhaps, as he warned me to be careful about, the tone of his humour is a little too dry for some whose skins are thin. I am sure upon his return that he will find this thread... informative. the five tones, in Figo's circle with no apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I understand that we have differences of opinions about Figo, I don't have a problem with that. But regarding sense of humor . . . we all have a good time and make jokes and laugh a lot here, most of the time. I don't think a difference of opinion over a couple things once in a while should automatically make people who don't like it "lacking of sense of humor."

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 You know, now that I think about it, he has disagreed with me a time or two.Who the hell does that bastard think he is.Just because he KNOWS Star Wars is better without the roman numeral IV, doesn't give him the right to not agree with me. Oh the arrogance.First he victimizes poor helpless Luke, but then he says disparaging words about the ruler of Kanadia. I personally hope he is confined to a small prison cell with someone named bubba who smells real bad, and has nokie on his mind. :wow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 OK so Figo is more "intelligent" in the way that he offends people bypassing Ricard's Personal Insult board rule.He doesn't call people pieces of S**T like "Holiday" used to do,but it's just as worst.In my POV,he's one of the worst pest of this MB to date,and would fit like a glove with the FSM bunch.I do recall a thread where one almost quit the board because of him.K.M.

He doesn't seem to realize that if someone needs to change his attitude, it's NOT those who apparently (or, better, according to him, and now you) are 'lacking of sense of humor'.Ricard - Who thinks that the people in this board has plenty of sense of humor.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I spoke to him recently. He was in the hospital, and he can't afford his medical bills, he has had to sell everything, including all of his John Williams cds. Actually the hospital seized all of his property, and left him destitute. He panhandles outside of movie theatres in the Cleveland area. Said he will be hitching down to Miami for the winter because its too cold in Ohio.Joe, wondering where he has heard that story before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
