A REALLY BIG PROBLEM!

Hi, it’s me, Teddy. Hmm, I could swear I saw a clone slippin out the back door as I was comin in…oh well. I got bigger things to worry about right now.

Me n my nasties got a real big problem! A lot of the miserable idiots we have tortured and tormented over the years are starting to gang up on us! Who do these worthless nobodies think they are? Dammit, Pukes is OUR room and it’s gonna STAY our room. Even if all them whining sheep bail out on us. Let em have tea and cookies with those wimpy goody-goody twots!

Well, here’s what ol Teddy n gang think about that!

CONTENT THIEF!!

PUNKED!

This post is based on a true story told to me by an anonymous guest at the blog

SSHHHHH! Teddy doesn’t know I’m here. I sneaked in through the back door so I could have a little chat with y’all. Hi, I’m a generic clone created for the purpose of entertainment, and my specialty is the Punk. You’ll be surprised at who created me. Ha ha!

You all know that every time a new name comes into the Tri-Pukes room and says so much as “Hi!” all those nasty room bullies jump on it and tear it to shreds, especially if the clone name looks suspicious. There’s always a lot of name calling and slandering and humiliating slurs. All-out caps, mouths wide open in full bray, teeth bared, spittle flying! Body parts and blood everywhere! It’s a feeding frenzy!

And there’s the frantic guessing game of who’s behind that clone: It’s Jim! It’s Bella! It’s Owen! No wait! It’s Carol!! No, it’s HYDEEEEE!!!

Nope, this time it’s just plain old John (or Jane) Doe from up in the rafters, a player who never, ever chats and just sits and watches the chaos day after day while playing the game. Once in a while John or Jane finds himself feeling really bored, so he decides to go make himself a guest pass name and use it to chum the sharks and watch the show. LOLOLOL! Lookit them teeth, wouldja!

PUNKED!

CYBER THREATS

Cyber-bullying

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





Cyber-bullying is "the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an inpidual or group, that is intended to harm others"



Yesterday in the pukes room I received the following threat:



“a program that monitors your snooping…”

What does Herlicks mean by this? Is she implying some type of illegal activity? Maybe she illegally gained remote access to my computer’s hard drive from her place of work and is using a keylogger program to not only monitor my internet activities but to steal my passwords and files.

The IP address you use to surf the web is legally visible to any website you visit and that IP address does not reveal anything personal about you such as real name, address, etc. Looking up your online IP address will lead the snoop to your internet service provider and no farther. The snoop can ascertain the state and city of your service provider, and not much else. Having the means to follow that online IP address around the internet is not legal, however.

Hacking into someone's computer is definitely a more serious situation and has plenty of illegal overtones. Keylogger programs are expensive and generally used by professionals and businesses, typically to monitor the activities of their network computers, which is perfectly legal, because they own them.



And hey, what snooping?! You're the ones doin the snoopin. HAH

WTF?!

TEDDY SEZ:

Can’t figure WTF has happened to the Pukes room! Gettin to the point where it ain’t much fun anymore. Usta be, me and my gang could breeze into the room and inspire fear and awe in every heart n strike to kill whomever we pleased.

Now those sheepy lil bastards that used to worship us are startin to challenge our greatness and question our majesty! Can you believe that?? Some of em had the nerve to ask us if we do illegal snoopin into peeps’ private info so’s we can use it for a personal vendetta. Hey, none a ya fkn business how we get our info!

And then some idiot had the balls to say she weren't gonna rest till she took us outta Pogo. The fkn nerve of some people! Well, we reported that dumbazz, you betcha! I just hope that when the Pogo police look at the reports they don’t do a background check on me and my gang and see all the reports turned in on us, Could get us banned and shit!

Hey, trashin Gold was way cool and she had it comin, but them Pogo police have a weird way of lookin at stuff.

I get a headache just thinkin about all this distractin bullshit. Gives me the shits, too. TG for that Portapotty! PPHHFFFTTTT!

---

EDITOR’S NOTE: Pogo support has said that there is little chance the Tri-Pukes room will be removed because the room keeps the worst of the Pogo miscreants in one place and away from the rest of Pogo. These miscreants are bad for the company’s bottom line.

The only way to get rid of the loonies is to report them every chance ya get! Abuse reports from temporary (guest pass) members are usually ignored by Pogo, so if you’re in clone mode at the time, don’t bother reporting.

HMMMMM…

The early blog posts were done in the voice of TeddyJMadagain  the basher clone I nominated for Motley Crew gang leader



HI, I’M Teddy! (judie2247)



I'm rude, crude and classless! I got a bad gut so I pass nasty green clouds all day long. Sometimes I have a "little accident", so I smell like baby poop most the time. I spend a lot of time in Tri-Pukes collecting old ladies for my fan club. I feel like a big ol teddy bear stud muffin when I’m in that room. Too bad I ain’t really a guy.  HA!




Teddy says...



You know we all been beatin our brains out tryin to figure out who the hell’s makin all these nasty new clones. First just about everyone was thinkin it was cousin Black Sheep Lizzie, but after a couple days that idea lost steam. Too many holes in that theory, didn’t feel right. Then we thought, well, mebbe it’s ol Owen or ol Jimbo, them two are real assholes, why not? We knocked that one around for awhile and it looked pretty good.



But then I got to thinkin, hmmmm, ol Hack Daddy (dadski ) hasn’t been around at all lately, what’s up with that? Weird. Hmmm. Could it be ol Hack Daddy hasn’t been in cuz he been busy doin the clones and didn’t want to take the chance of blowin his browser? Browser blowin is the shits.



Lessee, Hack Daddy hates almost everyone ever comes into the room. Check. Hack Daddy has a real ugly temper. Check. He sure knows how to spew the nasty. Check.
Hmmmm….

BUSTED!

ROOM BOSS 101

TEDDY SEZ:

It was a fine moment for mentor and protégé this morning. Nozey Pissy took cousin Harpy Shrew under her wing n showed her the ropes by takin over the Burning Ears room in Pogo Addiction Solitaire.

Both of em officially greeted and said bye-bye to the people comin and goin, thankin em for droppin in on their room. Cousin Harpy Shrew took her cues like a good little minion. Could hardly tell the two apart!

I see that cousin Harpy has been doin some ass kissin on cousin Nozey, tryin to get the Nozey One to watch some dumbass TV program with her. Ol Nozey is sayin she was watchin the show and fell asleep off and on, but we know she only watched the first couple of minutes then grabbed the remote and went surfin for somethin she really wanted to watch, like My Strange Addictions.

The Room Boss trainin for Harpy Shrew should go real fast cuz these two think so much alike. I can’t decide which one is the nastiest shrew. It’s real close! Guess for now we can call it a tie.

I am just so fkin proud of em both!!

NOZEY LIZZIE, OUR HERO

This post is in the voice of Teddy Jay Madagain , the clone I named as ringleader of the Motley Crew in the early days of the blog. Later posts are the voice of DaBlogger, the editor.

TEDDY SEZ:

Aaaawwweee, I am so moved by what Nozey Pissy was tellin everyone in Pukes today, how she came back to the Pukes room to be our hero and confront CFP50 and run her out of the room. And here me n the gang had been thinkin’ she came back to confront CFP50 in a lover’s quarrel over Owen. I guess we was wrong about that. I guess Nozey’s hot pants for Owen had nothing to do with her obsession with CFP50, Nozey was doing it to save the room!! Shows how different things can be from how they look. And even though it sure looked like Nozey and Owen were getting mighty cozy in Pukes pc for hours on end, guess we was wrong about that, too. Guess they was just parked and afk. Sure, that’s what it was. Uh…

And it was Nozey that punked Owen,  even though them emails sure made it look the other way around. Guess we just read them emails wrong that Nozey posted after Owen went back to carol. Sure, that’s what happened, just read them wrong. Uh…



Well, it sure is confusin, but I know Nozey is right cuz Nozey would NEVER lie. Uh…

GRANDSTANDING

Sanctimonious Sally (OC) pulled another one of her famous grandstands tonight. Sometimes that girl has no class. She put on her Joan of Arc persona and burst into the Tri-Pukes room with a Doomsday warning about the evils of shingles. What she hoped was a Mighty Mouse “Here I come to save the day!” came out like a Chicken Little “OMG the sky is falling!”, but was actually a “Hey look at me! I’m showing my love!” Sanctimonious Sally has a real odd way of expressing her bond with the room. Where’s that dildo??

FROM THE EDITOR

THE MALIGNANT PERSONALITY:

These people are mentally ill and extremely dangerous! The following precautions will help to protect you from the destructive acts of which they are capable.

First, to recognize them, keep the following guidelines in mind.

1. 
   
   
   They are habitual liars. They seem incapable of either knowing or telling the truth about anything.
   
   


2. 
   
   
   They are egotistical to the point of narcissism. They really believe they are set apart from the rest of humanity by some special grace.
   
   


3. 
   
   
   They scapegoat; they are incapable of either having the insight or willingness to accept responsibility for anything they do. Whatever the problem, it is always someone else's fault.
   
   


4. 
   
   
   They are remorselessly vindictive when thwarted or exposed.
   
   

Genuine religious, moral, or other values play no part in their lives. They have no empathy for others and are capable of violence. Under older psychological terminology, they fall into the category of psychopath or sociopath, but unlike the typical psychopath, their behavior is masked by a superficial social facade.

AN INTELLECTUAL EXCHANGE

This post is in the voice of Teddy Jay Madagain, the clone I chose as ringleader of the Motley Crew in the early days of the blog. Later posts are the voice of DaBlogger, the editor.

TEDDY SEZ:

I’m so proud of my Motley Crew! My head is spinning and my juices are flowing after a really satisfying intellectual exchange we had tonight in the Tri-Pukes room. I got so excited during this Mensa feeding frenzy, I crapped my pants…again! I’ll change my Depends later cuz the brawl, er, debate is still going on and I don’t want to miss a single word!!

Here’s a sampling of the brilliance:

Kinda hard to call us stoopid uneducated inbred hillbillies now, ain’t it, all you jealous wannabes?

RENDEZVOUS BALLROOM 1942

The Rendezvous Ballroom

"Queen of Swing"

Balboa-Newport Beach, California

The block long "Rendezvous" made it's debut on 24 March 1928 between Palm and Washington streets, bordered by a huge paved parking lot on the ocean front beach at Balboa, California. The 12,000-square-foot dance floor could easily accomodate over 1,500 couples with a 64 foot soda fountain on the ground floor along with dozens of couches and a smaller soda fountain above on the mezzanine and balcony surrounding the dance floor along with 50 more couches.

Closeup








When the $200,000 ballroom went up in flames on 27 January 1935, another even bigger and better "Rendezvous" was built on the site in less than 3 months - and because of the then depression economy, at a fraction of the cost of the first.




"Bal Week"
In the early 1930's thousands of teenagers began flocking to Balboa from all over Southern California during Easter vacation to begin an endless cycle of spending the days at the beach, the nights until 1:00 a.m. dancing to the Big Bands at the Rendezvous Ballroom and partying until dawn at hundreds of overcrowded rental apartments and rooms throughout the Balboa and Newport Beach area.











By the late 1930's, the Rendezvous Ballroom became a major West Coast stop for the touring Big Bands with the performances of Harry James, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Gene Krupa, Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Benny Goodman, Charlie Barnete, Les Brown and more accompanied by the famous vocalists of the era regularly broadcast by radio nationwide. By 1938 the ballroom was dubbed the "Queen of Swing" by Look Magazine.








1938









The Swing Also Known As Jitterbug Dance Steps







"Rendezvous Swingeree" - 1938
To celebrate the end of the school year, KEHE disc jockey Al Poska organized this non-stop 7 day around the clock Big Band dance marathon at the Rendezvous Ballroom, officially due to commence at 6:00 a.m. on 18 June 1938. However, Poska (in the white jacket) actually opened the event at 5:30 a.m. with an eye popping performance by "jitterbug" dancers Roy Damron and Choppy Seed on the sidewalk in front of the ballroom entrance.










Then 17 Year Old Maxie Dorf

Later To Become Known As The King of "The Balboa"









Birthplace Of "The Balboa"
The "Balboa" or "Bal" originated at the Rendezvous Ballroom, and quickly spread in popularity. The "Balboa Shuffle" is most useful when an extremely slow number is played and the "Balboa Hop" is utilized when the beat is too fast for any other dance. Either of "The Balboa" steps can be done when the dance floor is too crowded for Swing dancing.The "Balboa" is a complete and versatile dance most often seen today where swing, jazz or Dixieland music is being played. It can be performed to exceedingly slow music (30 beats per minute), extraordinarily fast music (over 300 beats per minute), or anywhere in between.








Stan Kenton
In February of 1941, a relatively unknown bandleader by the name of Stan Kenton auditioned his orchestra at the "Rendezvous". Although the band had only been together for a few months, they were able to convince the owners to give them a summer booking. They opened on the night of May 30, 1941 and the rest is history.

The "Rendezvous" - 1952

(Beyond The Gift Shop)









Gone
In the early morning hours of 7 August 1966, the Rendezvous Ballroom burned to the ground and an apartment complex was later built at the location.














But Never To Be Forgotten

On May 30, 1991, fans from all over the world gathered at the Hyatt Newporter Resort in Newport Beach, California to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stan Kenton's debut at the famed ballroom, to pay homage to both the "Rendezvous" and one of the most influential figures in jazz - and, of course, to dance "The Balboa".
