I have brain cancer

Where are these pictures of him that he references in his appology?


Him showing his big fish.

After finally reading through this whole thread I can understand why people were so upset at Hornet in the other threads. And it's certainly not for toying with their emotions or whatever excuses they want to tell themselves. They're really just embarrassed that this absolute dummy fooled them with this childlike horse shit.

As LTS pointed out in another thread the great irony of this is that despite being a painfully unfunny cornball Hornet still managed to create the funniest thread in the history of TGG, unintentionally of course.

Go back and read this lunatics updates, the guy is doing material. Then when he switches over to the son persona every post is about how hilarious and funny "pops" is and how he's cracking everyone up. If Hornet were a better writer he may have been able to pull something like this off but there isn't an ounce of verisimilitude in any of his posts.

As feeble as his Dr Manhard/colon attempts at humor were, it was when he tried to be poignant that he really took it to a whole other level. The writing to Bush for help after he lost his job. The inspirational talks about how he would never give up. The fake hero worship and recognition of his humor from his sons that obviously despise him in real life. And of course the wiping of his tears over his dead son with a red rose and burying him in the shadow of the cross. Holy shit.

This thread really is the pinnacle of douche chills/cringe style humor though. I've never seen a person so completely and thoroughly abase and expose themselves in this manner in a single thread. Hopefully it will be stickied, and if possible have all the sympathy posts removed so we don't have to go hunting for Hornets posts when we want a chuckle.

That would be a frigging great idea.

I had 2 sympathy posts in here, but otherwise, I didn't click the thread much. I only did it because I didn't want to look like an asshole for not caring. I may as well admit it now, what the hell. I never really cared much for internet sympathy. I had that one thread about my mother and explicitly stated that I didn't want any sympathy, because a bunch of "I'm sorries" would never either help or change anything, and it would look like that was all I was after.

If someone has a story to tell, by all means go ahead. But unless there is some way for me to help in a tangible way, donation to a valid charity for instance, I'm not going to sit here and try to come up with something to say again. Thanks, GH, for turning me into a cynical asshole about these things.

Begs the question if you didn't think you were an asshole for not caring why would you care if anyone else thought you were an none caring asshole?

I admit these things make me squirm. If writing your thoughts down on paper helps and your comfortable writing in this forum any cathartic act that makes you feel better or come to grips with things is valid.

What did GH do that made anyone a cynical asshole? If people have a sense of community here great. If some respect the community and others don't it's their loss or gain? At worst some of us were duped. In the grand scheme, so what?

I'm a little surprised at the outward hate toward GH simply for making us look foolish for being sympathetic? People care they get emotionally attached to people they commune with. Those are good traits nothing to feel bad about. GH went over the line no question and I guess he deserves to be ostracized for it but I think we should have a little more respect for our own shared values of caring about other people. At its core that's really what his thread was about us caring. The being duped by the OP is really not that important.

Community is where you find it.

I think the drive for empathy and the drive for sadism are intricately linked in the human emotional vortex.

I'm more surprised almost a week later people still give a shit to discuss it. hell, I stopped caring about the actual cancer thread a week after it went up.

[Scottso]

What I wanna know is how the hell did that guy find out who he actually was, so he could call his house.

Peer pressure. I wouldn't want to be the only one not showing how concerned I was. And I really was, and I did believe him, I just know that if it were me, it wouldn't be long before I got really tired of everyone's pity. That's if it were me. If his family had set up some sort of fund to help pay the medical bills, that would have been great, sign me up. But just saying I felt sorry for somebody is a platitude that has no value, and I hate for anyone to pity me. Again, if it was me.

I admit these things make me squirm. If writing your thoughts down on paper helps and your comfortable writing in this forum any cathartic act that makes you feel better or come to grips with things is valid.

That wasn't about writing things down, I just wanted advice from people whom had dealt with mental illness without pity thrown in. I didn't have a clue what I was dealing with at the time, and while I suppose I would have been better off asking a professional, I assumed that a decent cross section of this board had been in my shoes before and may know a few things I could be aware of.

The way I was reading it, a lot of people were more angry over the faking of cancer, which is a disease that has cost the lives of people close to just about everyone on this board, or at least affected them strongly. I could rattle off a list of names, relatives, acquaintances whom have either had or died from cancer, as I'm sure most of us can. I think if he claimed to have, say, malaria or scurvy, some disease that leads to death but most of us have no close experience with, then maybe the reaction wouldn't have been nearly this strong. He might have even gotten a pass after a week. But he had to go and fake cancer, and he did it because he knew it was that much of a hot button that would guarantee an outpouring of sympathy.

[Greencoloredglasses]

I read GH's post when he first made it and expressed a sympathetic reply.
I never came back to the thread until today, when in another thread someone had a RIP GH added
to their signature.
I thought this dick had actually died. After referring back to his OP I find that it was all a joke.
Back in '05, I had Pancreatic Cancer and was given 6 mos. to live. Long story short, miraculously, I survived.
Cancer is not funny in any way, shape or form. This dick has something wrong upstairs.
Jet fan or not, he's an asshole.

Please PM me your home phone # and wife's name so I can confirm... Thanks

Lol. Hopefully he read the entire thread.

[jetophile]

I'm all for not giving the subject anymore attention, but believe this guy? It's just too rich to pass up, and I can't believe it hasn't wound up in a signature or three just because of the sheer scumbaggery involved.

Again, I don't wish anything bad on the guy, but life has a funny way of doling out what people ask for sometimes.

[WW85]

GH was a moron and pissed off tons of people, including myself.

This THREAD neeeds to be CLOSED....time to move on!!!!

[ThunderbirdJet]

I don't feel bad about having prayed for this guy. He's sick. He NEEDS prayers. But I don't think I'll be wearing out any rosary beads for him now, either.

[CatoTheElder]

This THREAD neeeds to be CLOSED

Agreed. Can we please stop bumping this POS thread.

[17a_tailgater]

close this or epic beard man will kick your ass so pretty

[Greencoloredglasses]

Please PM me your home phone # and wife's name so I can confirm... Thanks

I didn' read the entire thread so I don't get your joke. I said it and you can believe it. Or not, I don't give a fuck. Joke about somebody else's post, it's a serious issue to me. Asshole.

Figured this might happen.

Ollie believes you, I'm sure. If you had read the entire thread, which I figured you did not--you would have understood his "joke".

[GordonGecko]

Someone needs to put a disclaimer at the beginning of this thread explaining that this was all a sick joke and cry for help from some reject loser who made up everything he ever wrote on this website and then the thread needs to be closed permanently :lock:

[Sir Isaac Jet]

I had an uncle and brother-in-law who both died from Glioblastomas. The last thing on earth you want to joke about is this.

[Petrozza]

I thought this was closed already
