    Well to be fair Rick did get one thing right:
    It's too bad Rick has decided that in spite of judgments against him and cease and decist order from Lucasfilm he's chosen to never do the right thing.

    STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED. NO WORD FROM LUCASFILM YET. BUT WHEN,AND IF IT EVER COMES ... I SHALL CERTAINLY SHARE IT.
    Pretty telling huh?

    You know that phrase about what happens when cousins marry?


    Well, what DO you get when cousins marry?


    A grandson named Rick, apparently.

    Turns out Rick's grandfather's last name was Olney.

    And his grandmother's maiden name?

    ALSO Olney.

    They were first or second cousins.


    Sorry, but it would explain a lot, wouldn't it?
    What? Seriously? that's really gross.

    This sort of "straying from the intent" is why I suggested leaving this (or any similar thread) open. This way the FB page can stay (thank you Jack Webb) "Just the facts"... and the comments and asides have SOME sort of outlet. Or else it will creep into the FB page... and destroy the original intent of the page.

    Just saying.

    Only (not Olney), but ONLY. . because this is making me crazy.

    I *know* folks brains want to auto correct and note them as Dwarves.

    but the pic he used, are the 7 "Dwarfs" from the Disney classic.

    that's the way Disney spells it.





    (so Ricky is still wrong. . but, me (Disneyphile that I am), just HAD to correct the spelling here)

    no, it doesn't make Ricky's comparison any less idiotic. .they are Dwarfs, not Trolls. . .but it makes me feel better!

    So.... he can't find contact names and addresses... he's "lost" most anything he's ever claimed to have as proof of damn near anything he's ever said... but he's still got a NAPKIN agreement somewhere?


    That's just hilarious in the most bizarre fashion.

    While Gail is right that this is not relevant, here is what she was talking about to show we are factual and not just making up things about Rick.

    Yes, that is my family. I notice many missing entries and no listing of my generation or of the current generation.
    My grandmother and grandfather were either first or second cousins, and according to family lore that was acceptable back then.

    ugh... weird. I grant though that it was a different time and all but it sure managed to produce a terrible human being.

    Has Rick tried image Googling himself lately... the results are hilarious.

    I went through the last few weeks' posts that he still has up, and it's either been edited out, or it was in an older post.
    I went through everything back through August 2011, and couldn't find this. Sorry.
