You're a veteran as far as I'm concerned joshypiano.

Well as far as people's different personalities, if its dripping with sarcasm its no doubt Justin..

As far as cricci, she's a peach. She does feel the need to defend her profession occasionally but we won't fault her for that.

joshypiano · 07-09-2008, 12:23 PM

You mean you like me? You really really like me?
thanks for the vote of confidence. BTW....waaaay creepy on the avatar.
I'm suprised no one else took up the chance to use that one.

Joshypiano... I also don't consider you a newbie. Your avatar has been creeping me out for months.

...and I think I've only called "shenanigans" on the threads once. It's something I say MUCH more often in person.

joshypiano · 07-09-2008, 11:43 PM

I may be about to change my avatar to something waaaay creepier. At least to me.

synthisislab · 07-10-2008, 12:41 PM

Does anyone know if they caught the other bomber that sent bomb packages to Pat Robertson and John Osteen and if not, has he struck again since?

joshypiano · 07-10-2008, 02:57 PM

I've been searching for updates on the Osteen case for a while but I havent found anything to indicate they even have a viable suspect.

Here's a blurb I found from a 2002 article about Lisa Osteen Comes and the mail bombing:

http://www.houstonpress.com/2002-04-.../power-house/3

"In fact, it may have been the nationwide TV exposure that led to a bizarre incident in January 1990, when Lisa Comes, Joel's older sister, opened a pipe bomb that had been mailed to the church in a shoe box. The box was sent from a tiny town in North Carolina, and when Lisa opened it, the bomb exploded out the sides of the box and shot nails into the walls.

"If she'd opened it the other way...," remembers Osteen, shaking his head. His sister underwent surgery on her leg and abdomen, and spent about a week in the hospital. Not long after the incident, a similar bomb sent from the same town arrived at Pat Robertson's offices, where the employee who opened it was injured. Neither case was ever solved.

While the church followed police suggestions to get a mail scanner, which it still uses, the Osteen family closed ranks and didn't comment publicly on the scare. Even now Joel Osteen refers to it as "a weird thing," stressing that nothing like that has ever happened again."

joshypiano, who is that on your avatar, anyway? (he kind of creeps me out, too!)

synthisislab · 07-10-2008, 04:11 PM

Isn't that a young Stanley Kubrick? Who is your avatar of, charmedsignora?

joshypiano · 07-10-2008, 04:54 PM

It is a young Stanley Kubrick. I am about to change it though to another Kubrick related picture. The only thing creepier would be to change my avatar to a picture of me!
