I don't think the real YOhio would use the language of the gutter like that. I'd guess that it could be a failed 80s child star usurping the good name of YOhio like Fred Savage or the Silver Spoons guy.
If CS is not up soon, we're gonna have to start a Bigfoot thread here to keep up with the pending breakthrough news.
So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Sorry to hear about the problems, JL. Maybe it's time for the laying on of hands. Or the careful application of a boot straight to, well, wherever a boot would go in this case.
(Maybe this is just my inherent Mormonness, but when stuff like this happens, I secretly feel that somehow I did it--somehow one of my posts broke the website. Come to think of it, if you need any further proof that Mormons are really of the house of Israel, just look at how Mormons and Jews do guilt like nobody's business).
That sucks. Does anyone know who did it to CS yet? If this was Moose, how pathetic.

I'll see your 50-yr old female Catholic theology teacher, and raise you one BYU religion professor who taught her class that oral sex was a sin against nature. My BIL and his wife believe this, the poor poor bastards. They're going through life never knowing such sublime pleasures because of one teacher's %^&&*()(&^ prudishness. One of my SILs got raunchy one night while we were all sitting around playing cards, and my other SIL, all haughty, told the story about their prof, and then said, "It's not natural." My response, something like, "It feels pretty damned natural to me," is still among my favorite things I've ever said.

I highly doubt that RF cares at all about CUF anymore. His absence here (I imagine he doesn't even know it exists) should give us an indication that it isn't him. Because, if it were, you just know that he couldn't resist showing up and being coy.

FWIW, years ago Webmonkey had a problem on UFN by a poster named xx96, who liked to attack his servers. Webmonkey ultimately became so upset by the repeated attacks that he spent a great deal of his personal time and resources to track him down, and found that he worked in the pharmacy at the Springville Wal-Mart.
Whether he and Moose are the same is anyone's guess.
When I told him of some of my colleagues' intellectual objections to gospel issues, he said, "Well, Brother Madsen, if only they had the Spirit they wouldn't talk this way. If only they had the Spirit."
-Truman G. Madsen, with Spencer W. Kimball
One other thing: Webmonkey's circle of friends on UFN includes state employees and police officers, so once he knew xx97's identity, he was able to obtain a great deal of personal info, including his family. So when he confronted xx97 at the pharmacy and showed him what he knew, Webmonkey essentially told him to never return or it would all be made public.
Apparently so far it's worked.
“The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.”

I'm interested in this. My understanding is that the stereotypical Jewish guilt is the cultural "you've let down your mother" kind, whereas Christian (i.e., Catholic & to a lesser extent Mormon guilt) is theologically based in Original Sin. The Jews I know don't have the same concept of "sin" as Christians. Don't get me wrong - Jews seem to have ethics worked out much better than Mormons do - but ancient peoples didn't conceive of guilt on a personal level like modern ones (it's a variation of the shame-culture vs. guilt-culture paradigm laid out by ER Dodds)
So, not calling you out or anything, Hairy Tic. Just looking for insight.

No kidding. In fact, this very well could be my fault. The Bigfoot Evidence Blog just suffered an attempted cyberattack during their most recent podcast, which appears to be the MIB trying to shut them down from talking about the Myakka skunk ape. Can it really be a coincidence that right after I post about the Myakka skunk ape, CS falls to a cyberattack?
I have always enjoyed creekster.
