I reviewed his page on the Odd Empire site some time ago, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oddempire.org\/main\/page14.htm\">http:\/\/www.oddempire.org\/main\/page14.htm #14-5<\/a>. He&#8217;s got some amusing stuff, long rants about how people have betrayed him, how subscribers to his Yahoo forum won&#8217;t send him money (he provides the PayPal link and everything!) How his girlfriends, wives or whatever dumped him. Long, semi-coherent threats of legal action if you happen to be a cop or a government official and you just look at his web page. Other clueless crap.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s nominally running something known as an urban exploration club. He and his buddies run around graveyards and abandoned buildings late at night for kicks. Nothing wrong with that I guess. I myself did similar stuff.when I was in high school!<\/p>\n<p>These days, Urban Exploration is a big thing, still among the high school set and apparently with Rick Too. He&#8217;s gotten into a turf war with a Canadian forum <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uer.ca\/\">http:\/\/www.uer.ca\/ <\/a>which according to Lord Rick, has posted photos of his kids from his &#8220;adventures&#8221; although as of this writing I haven&#8217;t seen evidence of it. They&#8217;ve libeled him? ditto, I haven&#8217;t seen where. In fact, I have not seen any postings by or about Lord Rick anywhere in that forum.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it&#8217;s possible that I&#8217;m just missing it. It&#8217;s a large forum inhabited by children for the most part (or so it seems.) I would believe that &#8220;Lord Rick&#8221; whose a &#8220;renowned&#8221; [SIC] parapsychologist&#8221; made a bunch of lame-o posts there, got flamed and the rest is as we say is&#8211;hilarity.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, I don&#8217;t have a personal beef with Lord Rick, he seems like a fun-loving goob. someone who likes skulking around abandoned places looking for ghosts or Skunk Ape, perhaps a good lay. Nothing wrong with that. (Unless it&#8217;s WITH skunk ape&#8230;.yuck!)<\/p>\n<p>I actually don&#8217; believe it&#8217;s anyone&#8217;s business what or who he smokes in his pipe either. If he wants to toke up or smoke crack? Big deal! Just don&#8217;t drive, operate heavy machinery for up to one month after and don&#8217;t try to hold a job (Rick has no problem on THAT score.)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uer.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Those clowns over at uer.ca?<\/a> Looks like a couple of them flamed him on his guestbook, left some pretty graphic photos behind. Good work goons! Pooping on someone&#8217;s rug shows that you have class&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>like a monkey.<\/p>\n<p>Especially when you do it to someone who can&#8217;t even figure out how to clean up the mess. That shows breeding &#8211; sophistication, I&#8217;m not sure what species, <em>Aepyceros melampus<\/em> perhaps.<\/p>\n<p>I think uer.ca should do a little house cleaning. I mean, I have no problem giving someone an honest assessment of their web page or whatever but really! There are limits. (I like to think so anyway.)<\/p>\n<p>But, for god&#8217;s sake people! Turn off the crappy music and pull those pics down&#8230;&#8230;.Damn!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Lord Ricks audio rants, if you care to listen to them.
