Bobby Hull legacy thread (see admin warning post #1)

[seventieslord]

I am not that author Phil Schlenker. I appreciate the accolades. Now, we know him. He is a friend of our family. I tried to pitch his book on here in 2009. My son used an account that the mods didn't like because it was the same IP address. I can still remember the name "Digging Dickie". Anyway, either they didn't like us trying to pitch the book for him or they got mad that we didn't ask them to do it first, either way it didn't really get much publicity on here. I did the whole "Hey has anyone read this new book?" type of thread but it wasn't allowed. I remember telling the mods this is what we were doing for our friend and I almost never mentioned it again because (and I can't remember the mod I talked to) they didn't like anyone starting a new name on it. I am sure there is still a mod that can remember this conversation.

Anyway, we helped him in other avenues. Social media, I sent some emails around to sports writers. It didn't ever get off the ground. I love it though. But it never did anything for him. He has a regular job, wife, kids, etc.

You know, you could backtrack on the whole idea that I pretend I am 30 years older. That is slander when you think of it even if it is on just a hockey site. I did try to promote his book on here and other places just to help out a friend trying to get a name out there. Who the heck pretends their older? I was okay with you thinking I was younger the other day, it was nice. I didn't care for your insulting tone the other day mocking how I thought based on my age. I suppose you could harass Philip himself and ask if he had some friends pitch his book in different places! I mean, really, don't, but this thing really takes up real estate in your mind.

So the strategy is to triple down, eh?

So this author that you named, Phil Schlenker, who's definitely 42, you're sure you're not him, eh?

I wish I could show my girlfriend from camp this thread, but she lives in another country.

Hey now, that's slander.

Or a harmless prank.

Who's to judge?

We should have never shot that f***ing gorilla.

I’m holding the book in my hands right now. Thing is, it’s actually a pretty good book. You can tell it was written by a passionate hockey fan. I had no idea who the author was when I read it. Knowing what I do now though..it honestly makes perfect sense.

 

[DaaaaB's]

You've got a lot of nerve to allege "slander" after the crap you've tried to pull here the last fifteen years.

He clearly doesn't even know what slander means. Yeah, I'm sure he means libel but that's absurd too.

Could also be a fifteen-year prank.

One thing I've learned about worries about being perceived as too young - that takes care of itself eventually, whether you want it to or not.

I think we can add the existence of this thread to Bobby Hull's legacy.

As a former lawyer, let me warn you. There is NOTHING courts take more serious than message board hurt feelings. Our prisons are filled with slanderers, libelers, and defamers. So when you point to a guy who has spent years making claims of being firsthand witness to stuff we now learn happened before he was born, be careful how you say it.

I thought Lionel Hutz was the former lawyer?

When he quit that, he changed his name and became an actor. All was going well until Sea World started taking about inappropriate relationships with their performers.

Is it possible that Phil is the shark that this thread has now jumped? I've lost track.

An author you initially pretended to not "know much about" until people became suspicious and then he suddenly turned into a "family friend" of yours.

I don't know much about Phil Schlenker either, new author I guess, all I know is that Andy Frost (Leafs Talk, Leafs public announcer at the games) apparently talked about it once and claims he gave it to his son for his birthday.

 

[Bear of Bad News]

That was Phil playing a prank earlier.

What's important is that we need to all agree that he's 100% telling the truth NOW, and ignore his entire history.

That would probably require starting anew as Slim Svetlana or Small Geneviève.

Oof.

I guess I should apologize to him for insults I lobbed at him in the past over his Sandy Hook conspiracy posts because I didn’t understand him calling the parents of murdered children “crisis actors” was actually just an elaborate prank.

Both Phil Hartman though, so I'll allow it

Another example of a guy named Phil playing two distinct characters, despite having obviously the same voice.

He's one of those? Dear lord

 

[Transplanted Caper]

To be fair, 30k posts over 20 years is more of a fetish than a prank. Hey, to each their own. We all have our kinks.

Oh, we recognize our own.

This thread is so epic, it needs its own soundtrack. I nominate "What's My Age Again?" by Blink 182.

I wrote a tome, it was a hockey book
I made a post, to make them have a look
They started googling
They found a video
An interview from the TV
And that's about the time the lies caught up with me...

I could go on

Phil is DWade and everyone is Lebron right now
