It looks like William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt is doing a lot of worrying that the scam perpetrated by Andy Stephenson is going to explode in his face. Pity Poor Pathetic Pied Piper Pitt (had to get in at least one allitertation) for he hasnt slept since April as you can see in this Pitt authored DUmmie THREAD titled, I could use a little help here. Yeah, Pitt, you could actually use a LOT of help WHEN the AndyScam blows up in such a way that even the incredibly gullible DUmmies realize that Andy Stephenson has been scamming them just as cold-bloodedly as his former mentor, Bev Harris. A constant theme right now in DUmmieland is that they just KNOW that Andy is on the up and up BECAUSE Pied Piper Pitt told them so. I hate to tell you this DUmmies but Pied Piper Pitt has ALSO been having doubts about the DUmmies as have been documented in the Free Republic discussion forum of the previous DUFU edition titled, About the Andy Stephenson situation---Skinner. Oh, and speaking of Skinner, havent the DUmmies noticed that he has been MIA since issuing his doubts about Stephenson a few days ago? Skinner is less than an hour from Baltimore but he has yet to make the short trip over there to verify Andys fraudulent story. It is The Silence of the Scams. So let us now join Pied Piper Pitt in his state of complete sleeplessness. Somehow I think Pitt will be greeting the sun for many, many mornings to come. As usual the insomniac rantings of Pitt and his DUmmie followers are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who enjoyed a refreshing night of deep sleep, is in the [brackets]:
I could use a little help here
[You sure do, Pied Piper Pitt, especially after the DUmmies form a lynch mob to go after you when even those dopes realize FOR SURE that they have been scammed by Andy Stephenson, thanks in large part to you vouching for Andys honesty.]
I haven't been able to sleep for about two weeks. I start to drop off, and maybe actually sleep for about 20 minutes, before popping awake. Last night, for about the fifteenth day in a row, I saw the sun come up against my will. This has started to affect my stomach, which makes sleeping harder. I have tried exercise to wear myself out, and have managed to badly strain a muscle in my back.
[Your back will hurt even more after the DUmmies start angrily beating on it while cursing you for enabling the AndyScam.]
So, to recap: No sleep since April, rotten stomach, torn up back. I've reached that insomnia point where I am psyching myself out; I got no sleep the night before last, spent yesterday writing a PDA action alert and a 30-minute speech transcript, drove two hours to do the speech, gave the speech, did a three-hour Q&A, talked to people for another hour, drove two more hours to get home, and by the time I got back here I was literally quivering with exhaustion.
[So, to recap: You are worried sick about what will happen to you after Andy Stephenson is proven to be a complete FRAUD even to the satisfaction of the incredibly gullible DUmmie suckers.]
But I laid awake until 6:37am (I remember looking at the clock), popped awake an 8, 9, 10 before finally giving up and getting up at 11. I can barely see straight right now, my stomach feels like it has snakes in it, my back is killing me so I can't exercise...and I know for a stone fact that I won't be able to sleep again. Tried a nap an hour or so ago. Came thiiiiiiiis close to dropping of and then popped awake.
[3:11 AM: Worried sick about the backlash when Andys scam is finally proven.
3:12 AM: Will they toss me out of Dummieland?
3:13 AM: Will my speaking engagements be cancelled?
3:14 AM: Maybe I could change my identity.
3:15 AM: DAMN YOU TO HELL, Andy, for suckering me into being your lousy cheerleader!!!
3:16 AM: Is it 3:17 AM yet?]
Any ideas? I've already heard about taking mela-whatever, but that stuff gave my mother splitting headaches when she tried it. I have drastically cut back on caffiene. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I've reached that violently, violently, violently frustrated stage of insomnia where sleep is a guaranteed impossibility, and if a routine like yesterday's (while on no sleep) can't get it done, I am at a total loss.
[Confession is good for the soul. And now let us read the hilarious advice on insomnia cures from your fellow DUmmies, Pitt.]
scotch. start about 3pm. you'll be out by 9
[Thunderbird. Start about 3 PM. Youll be homeless by 9.]
Tried it. I managed to make myself unconscious, but that isn't sleep. Woke up worse off the next day. Tried it again a few days later, and all that happened was I was drunk and wide awake.
[Pied Piper Pitt---The wide awake drunk. Thats what happens when you fall such obvious scams that Andy perpetrates.]
sex?
[Unfortunately Andy can no longer be located.]
Move the clock...for one thing. Looking at that thing with the blinking : all night can be horrifying.
[If Pitt moves his clock all it will mean is that he will have to keep walking over to it every 5 minutes to check to see if he got at least a half hour of sleep.]
yes, sex works remember, only in fundie land is a monogamous partner of the opposite gender who desires to become pregnant is a requirement for "sex."
[Only in DUmmieland does it not matter what gender or species your sex partner is.]
Will: see a doctor. Insomnia is a bitch, although I only get it maybe once or twice a month.
[Pitt needs to see a shrink doctor. See Pitt lying on the shrinks couch? Let us see what the shrink is writing on his note pad: Just plain NUTS!!!]
This sounds like a case for sleeping pills though I ordinarily wouldn't recommend them.
[NOT a good idea. Pitt would be tempted to swallow the whole bottle after the AndyScam blows up in DUmmieland.]
Benadryl. But don't take it every night, as you can become addicted (as per my physician husband).
[Methinks Pitt would become addicted the first night after desperately popping pill after pill of those Bennys.]
Eat lots of turkey! Turkey has natural sleep inducers in it.
[And if that doesnt work, have someone take a frozen turkey and slam it on Pitts head to knock him out.]
My problem is that I have bad physical reactions to anti-histamine stuff. I had raging bad allergies as a kid, and was always loaded up on the stuff. After a few years it just messed me up, and still does whenever I touch it.
[I can sympathize, Pitt. Im allergic to wool so Ive had to cross sheep off my date list. Such are the sacrifices Ive had to make.]
Tonight I will do turkey, warm milk and the tub
[Youre going to do turkey in a tub filled with warm milk, Pitt? You really ARE kinky!]
Yes - I like Tylenol PM myself.
[I once tried to commit suicide by taking a cyanide pill. Unfortunately some sick bastard tampered with the cyanide pill bottle and I took a Tylenol that he inserted instead. Im suing!!!]
empty your mind, grasshopper...
[ be just like your fellow DUmmies, cricket ]
I don't really know any tricks to get to sleep but one thing I discovered is that it makes no sense to just lay there willing yourself to do it - the more you try, the less likely it is that it will happen. So when I couldn't sleep, I'd get up. I'd tidy the house, I'd do laundry, I'd go for a walk, I'd read, I'd write, I'd work. Eventually, I'd get very, very tired and I'd lay down again. If I didn't get to sleep within a reasonable time, I'd get up again.
[Good idea Hey Pitt! My pad needs cleaning and after that you can do my laundry.]
stop doing crystal meth that's what I had to do.
[speed_addiction is that you?]
The back thing is my own fault. I've been beating the shit out of myself on my weight bench, way overdoing it to try and get sleepy. A muscle in my shoulderblade area finally got tired of it and told me to f*ck myself.
[And after the AndyScam scandal explodes, Pitt, your fellow DUmmies will be telling you the same thing as your shoulderblade muscle told you.]
Definitely see a doctor...there might be a physiological reason you're having trouble sleeping.
[Pitts problem is ALL mental.]
Will, I'm not a doctor, but I am going to go ahead and give you medical advice anyway. Your body is telling you to take a break.
[Yes, good advice. Take a break, Pitt, on a Costa Rica getaway with Andy Stephenson. Dont worry about expenses. Andy has $50,000 to blow.]
Otherwise, until you see an internist, a bit of turkey, milk and a warm bath. Then find something boring, yet educational, to read.
[Maybe not educational but Pitts own writings should do the trick.]
A friend of mine who went through a divorce said she would drop her jaw down as you would right before you fall asleep and then force herself to COUNT SHEEP. It actually worked for her.
[It wont work for me. I told you before that Im allergic to wool.]
One word solution... PAMPER!
[One word solution PAMPERS!]
White noise (I have a CD of very, very faint/distand thunderstorms and rain, and it's coma-inducing).
[White noise (I have a CD of very, very faint Pitt speeches, and its coma-inducing).]
Breathe thru your eyes ... Bull Durham
[Breath thru your butt Andy Stephenson.]
Watch some mindless TV.
[Keith Olbermann.]
Ambien is habit forming and every person is different. So telling someone to ignore legitimate and documented side effects and product warnings is not particularly sound advice, wouldn't you agree?
[WARNING: Side effects of Ambien may inlude nausea, diarrhea attacks, dizziness, urges to support left wing loony causes, and the total loss of any ability to discern obvious scams.]
dude...seriously...smoke up. If I need to be asleep, pot is my friend to a nice, happy, and deep sleep.
[Puff the magic dragon down by the sea!]
First of all, sleep is over-rated.
[Sleep? Who needs it!]
You need to start "shutting down" very gradually.
[After the DUmmies finally wake up to the AndyScam, they will be shutting down Pitt very rapidly.]
Try to figure out what caused this abnormal sleep cycle to begin in the first place and address that issue.
[I dont believe that Pitt thinking about how he has become Andy Stephensons lead cheerleader in Dummieland is going to help him get any sleep.]
Go To An Acupuncturist ASAP.
[Perhaps the acupuncturist can anesthetize those brain cells containing all memories about Andy.]
want something natural? try acupuncture- & I know where to get it cheap in the south end
[I dont know about Pitt but Andy certainly would love to be acupunctured in the south end.]
You really should go to a doctor for a sleep evaluation. This may include keeping a diary for a week or so
[May 13: WHAT? WHAT? WHAT will I do when the DUmmies rise up against me when the AndyScam breaks?
May 15: Need to leave the country. PRONTO!
May 16: Quick flight down to Costa Rica.
May 20: Slight gender preference modification but the honeymoon with Andy is just dreamy!]
Cancel your appointments. Don't listen to TV or radio. Turn off your cell phone. Rent some funny movies.
[Flim Flam Man. The Sting.]
I just thought of something: Would that mean we'd have to reformat the whole thing?
Uh, you're asking the wrong person.
I copy and paste links onto a Microsoft Word document, and then copy and paste onto Free Republic, without using any of the <<<<<>>>>>> thingamajigs.
Sometimes they link (i.e., underline and link) on Free Republic, other times they do not.
I am still trying to figure this out.....since February.
As I mentioned before, the Grand DUmmie "Skinner" has been looking around for me undercover in DUmmieland, but has failed to find me.....and he has failed to find me because the Grand DUmmie "Skinner" thinks he is looking around for someone exceptionally bright, rather than only "average."
Bah, humbug.
I am hoping to set up an account over there eventually for such an event. Do you know if it is better to use it frequently saying non-inflammatory things, or rarely as you seem to have done. If somebody wants to PM my so as not to display the secrets of DU trolling to the world, that would be fine. :)
wsoops!
should have added another asterisk to fool the html detector:
<*A href="www.greenvillechessclub.org/index.html">May 11: 12 Noon Undie posts that JH has been paid<*/A>
Sure...you take a little break, and you are toast...toast I tell ya!
Speed, you captured that from DU in a matter of seconds. You are aptly named. Thanks.
I'm not even drinking and I managed to write that the latest version of the timeline was the "lastest"! I think I am Undietoxicated.
OK, I can do it - but would you help?
If you can post or send to me, the post # in this thred of each of the dates that has a link to the source, I can do the rest.
Does that work for you?
(that would be "thread")
YOWZA!!! I just got back from my weekend escapades. Anyway, I figured I could tell if something was up in DUmmieland by merely looking at the # of responses. I left this thread at Reply #411 on Friday evening. Anyway, coming back home, I figured if when I logged on this thread had over 600 responses, that would be about normal for this thread. If it had over 800 replies then something interesting must have happend. Over a thousand replies and something HUGE must have happened. So when I just logged on a few minutes ago and see almost 1400 replies, I figure it must be HUMONGOUS!!! I won't cheat and go to the end of this thread hower. I am still where I left off at #411 from Friday night and will enjoy reading this sequentially. Something BIG must have happened and I will find out reading this thread sequentially forward. Checking it all NOW.
I'm sorry, sir; I'm half asleep (really).
Do you mean you wish the timeline and links to be posted, as I sometimes post the links to ALL of the DUmmie FUnnies?
If so, I can do that probably easier and faster than most.
If that is what you need; something like that really long posting of ALL the DUmmie FUnnie links (as I am sure Choose Ye This Day will recall).
Correct,
If he's taking a local train in Md. it would be a MARC.
Anything else, AMTRAK.
If convicted in Md., he will go to the Cut(Jessup)or the Haig(Hagerstown.) Either way, he will be very popular.
Damage Control time LOL !!!!
This is good.

MrNiceGuyDied's Reply to Andy Stephenson
Sun May 15, 2005 9:23 pm
Andy,
I'm really disappointed that you would continue this farce when faced with overwhelming evidence that your snide little money collectors have lied, and manipulated, all over the internet. They have continually ignored requests for information and even resorted to threats when questions were pursued after "If you don't trust Will Pitt I can't help you" answers were deemed unsatisfactory.
Because Beth Ferrari, you chief collaborator, threatened me I decided to check out your story myself. Contacting you personally was pointless because I tried that when you asked me to leave you alone on DU when I found your actions in the BBV fiasco, and your involvement with Mike Vreeland, objectionable at best. Instead of helping me get it you just tried to lather me up.
So I started calling Johns Hopkins.
As your collaborators were so quick to point out I did get several "can't say anything" replies when I first started talking to Hopkins. Then I switched to pretending I had a friend in your supposed condition (the only thing I changed was Seattle to
Texas). I even said I wanted to set up some kind of fundraising effort for friends and co-workers.
When I described the Texas diagnoses, and procedure recommended, I said I was a close friend looking for the best options for my rather depressed friend who was willing to take local care (yes I know totally different from your situation but whatever thats a minor hypocrisy in the bigger scam). When I called for whipple care I was put through to the world renowned Dr. Cameron's office. I asked about the costs, the length of stay, the payment options, the prerequisites for surgery, consultations needed, documentation or referral diagnosis records required, wait time for surgery, and surgeons available. The woman was EXTREMLY helpful.
That was the day before your supposed surgery. When I saw the next morning, after your "last wish post" pleading to be remembered for verified voting, that the surgery had been cancelled because of another "mix-up" buy the "bloodsucking\" hospital staff I'd had enough.
Already armed with enough evidence to expose you (from my calls fishing for info) I called the nice woman at Johns Hopkins back. This time when she answered the phone I told her who I was and why I had called the day before. She all at once seemed relived, and angry, when she said to me that I wasn't the only person investigating this and yes it was a scam. By the way, she worked in the Oncology department not just for Dr. Cameron.
I then posted on DU.
At least two other DU'rs claim to have been told by the Hopkins staff this was a "hoax". One even reported being told "not to believe what she reads on the internet".
So if you think things are cleared up, or I'm off base, just keep watching then I guess.
I havent even started asking you about how much money you have collected, and how anyone is supposed to believe you considering your willingness to lie about money, as displayed during your defense of Bev Harris before you abandoned a sinking ship.
You know who I am. Why do you insist on calling me Bev or a freeper troll? Why hasnt Skinner commented on your proof? Does anyone have the right to ask you any questions you arrogant piece of sh*t?
AA
I don't see how this scam can continue much longer if only because Johns Hopkins must be getting extremely PO'd at the whole situation.
