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 hasn’t 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, haven’t 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 Andy’s 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 Andy’s 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 Andy’s 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. You’ll 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. That’s 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 shrink’s 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 Benny’s.]
Eat lots of turkey! Turkey has natural sleep inducers in it.
[And if that doesn’t work, have someone take a frozen turkey and slam it on Pitt’s 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. I’m allergic to wool so I’ve had to cross sheep off my date list. Such are the sacrifices I’ve had to make.]
Tonight I will do turkey, warm milk and the tub
[You’re 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. I’m 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.
[Pitt’s 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. Don’t 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 Pitt’s 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 won’t work for me. I told you before that I’m 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 it’s 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 don’t believe that Pitt thinking about how he has become Andy Stephenson’s 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 don’t 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.]
Did you see the thread Undie posted himself titled "Mister "John Smith" checking in..."? That's all the post says. Hmmm. Strange that after all of the publicity about this he'd check in under a pseudonym. He also posted this pic:
Now my first question is this: Is there anything else on DU about where and when Undie was "checking in"?
And, secondly, presuming that he is "checking in" at JH, is there anyone here on this thread who can verify: Is that "checking-in" area recognizable as being from Johns Hopkins? I realize that is a long shot--there's not much there to go on--but maybe someone who has been to JH in Baltimore might recognize it.
Fenris, you're from Baltimore. Is that "checking-in" pic I just posted recognizable as JH?
"Cyber law 101."? What the....? Somebody has violated CYBER LAW 101! Whatever that is.
Wambaugh's "Echoes in the Darkness." It was made into a movie for television. A small group of teachers and students were mesmerized by one "charismatic" teacher, Bill, who wound them all up in a mesh of lies and deceptions that promoted his schemes and fed his ego. The adult teachers, living well-rounded lives considered "brilliant" Bill mediocre and somewhat of a self-serving phony, lost outside the comfort zone of his faithful followers.
The teachers were young with little experience in the real world. Teacher Bill flattered them, convincing them that they were smarter than the other teachers at the school, that the world outside their little clique was a fearful place and that only by complete devotion to Bill could they have meaning in their lives. They were like frightened children; teacher Bill relieved them of the necessity for independent thought, lifted from them the burden of freedom.
Teacher Bill filled their emptiness with his ceaseless talk and the feverish excitement of his failed schemes. They simply could not imagine a world without teacher Bill in charge, not even when teacher Bill had them rubbing fingerprints off thousands of dollars, making silencers for guns, hiding money and not reporting insurance policies they had seen with teacher Bill as beneficiary if a young divorcee and her two children died.
They could not, would not think for themselves, not even when the young divorcee was murdered and her two children went missing. They allowed themselves to be deceived because they could not imagine that having given teacher Bill total control of their brains he would betray them by deceit.
The youngest follower, a fan of Gothic horror, finally breaks down, visits the F.B.I., but only to try to convince them how wrong they are in suspecting teacher Bill of being involved with the divorcee's murder.
One of the agents, slight,dark, with piercing eyes explains the situation to the young man in terms of a train that is about to leave the station, he can get on the train or let it leave the station without him, but there are no other trains. The young man suddenly, and with the full impact of what teacher Bill may have done, pleads to get on the train.
Does it seem like the train has already left Andyscam Station?
Coming in late, and not waiting to read all 800+ posts on this thread, and 1600+ on the previous one. Just one question keeps nagging at me.
I keep seeing that the cashiers checks came from Verity Credit Union, Seattle Washington, and the Surgery is at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I keep foolishly thinking that these two places are 3000 miles apart from one another...so why does one bother doing that? I mean, at some points Undie, the checks and Johns Hopkins need to be at the same place, so why not get the checks from a Maryland bank?

Good questions. What I quoted was all that he said, but I do not know if he later made comments in that thread he started.
He certainly gave everyone the impression he was checking into JH. I mean, why on earth would him checking into a hotel be newsworthy, and why a pseudonym for an undisclosed hotel?!
Even *IF* that pic turns out to be from JH, all it means is that he was there, NOT that he was "checking in." Could just be a photo-op to further along the game.
LOL! How pathetic (and obvious).
Hi Fenris6! I know you're 20 minutes away from JH (Got it right this time, sorry about before!) Have you been there?
It sure looks like a hotel lobby to me and not a top rate hospital. But what do I know, I've only been to Boston Children's and Brigham & Woman's. ;3
Looks like he is checking into his next party palace on the dolt's dime(s). Inquiring minds would like to know.
May 6: Undie flies to Columbus, Ohio
Is incorrect. Why did we establish Undie flew to OH on the 6th in the first place? IT had to backtrack and correct ITself on CU that Undie actually flew to OH AFTER he got out of his exam on the 5th of May.
"as the libs are always saying "it isn't necessarily whether the facts are there, but the seriousness of the charge that is important!" Right?"
And they've as much said that in some of the posts at the DUmp.
I saw that, and IT did it all in CAPS. That struck me as odd. Why the spastic shrieking to "correct" the time frame? Why not just coolly respond, "I was incorrect about the date, it was actually the 5th." Maybe it's nothing but with this whole fiasco, who knows!
So, when did Undie really fly to Ohio, and is it important?
The DUmp is a cesspool of fraudulent fund raisers! Skinner NEEDS to halt all fund raising activity there or forever fall into obscurity.
Or why didn't they simple set up an account at a bank to dontate funds to...which is the normal course of action...then have the bank wire transfer the neded fund to JH?
I mean whether it was when baby Jessica fell in the well in '87 or a kid with cancer that needs treatment the family can't pay for...there is ALWAYS a bank tht comes forwrd to set up an account for people to make donations to.
Why not this time?
That is their mantra, tx! I have heard it all through the Clintoon years, and it was used against a lot of good people, such as Kenneth Starr. They are still trying it, but the American public has started to see through this ploy!....or at least I hope we have waked up by now!
Or??? If it weren't for all the attention FR, CU, and various talk radio hosts give them, they'd already be there.
I'm surprised there's no paypal link to Undie, LOL!
