If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

I refer you to an early scene in the movie Blue Thunder with Roy Schrieder.  In it, he closes his eyes and starts a stopwatch. He closes his eyes and stops the watch when he things a minute has gone by.  His theory is that an insane person can't distinguish a minute from an hour.

Yes, I know it was fiction and yes, I got within 3 seconds of correct.  ;D

Blue Thunder was a crappy movie. What's next, quotes from "Weekend at Bernies II" to explain why honesty is important in a relationship?

From what little I know him, this is him in a nutshell:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_complex

Although Puddin Head tends to position this complex, I think he does so purely out of ignorance.  Maybe, he does it BECAUSE he has heard that intelligent, successfull, etc people have been known to use it.  You see he likes to ASSOCAITE himself (falsely) with success whe in fact, his actions demonstrate nearly the exact diametric opposite.  No, Jim does not have a God Complex (but he likes to PRETEND that he does).  His comments do crack me up as he has to be just about the worst debater I have EVER run across in my many years.  Truly a sad person.  Although others have referred to him with a variety of differing names, I now simply refer to him as "Goober" as his responses are so stupid.

I prefer "putz". But now I have to thank him for leaving a link of a website that took it upon themselves to "borrow" about a dozen of my images.

I believe I got banned.  I made one post a week ago saying "Amy sure has a way with words."

I tried to log in today as I thought he might get a kick out of this pic as he seems to be a fun-loving guy, but it wouldn't let me on.  Oh well.

OMG I just read his forum and its becoming (in my opinion) a "Spa Cult" one girl is following him and pledging hes the greatest human to ever walk to the earth. Whats next? barracading in underground bunkers? Taking multiple wives? Where may the madness end? Will it end in a battle where he turns a hottub into a tank and defends the other freaks against the evil doers? Is that music really banjo music? Do they all live in the same house? Are "sleeze bag" spa salesmen going to start mysteriously dissapearing?Has anyone ever actually to see if his copyrights are real? Its getting just down right wierd over there! I fear for his customers and I am being serious when I say that! :-?Please remember that these are just my questions and opinions I may be wrong.(Yes a lawyer told me to always add that previous line)

It's not like I couldn't log in as many times as I wanted lol,if I chose to use a proxy etc etc.  I haven't bothered with the nutcase since he banned me for my opinions lol.

He's a salesman and nuttin more,my opinion. His sales tactics very questionable,and I too feel for his customers.

He never did answer my question as far as....how do the other professionals in the spa industry,feel about you?
Think that's obvious. If he's so self-proclaimed smart,why does he choose to alienate himself from his fellow brothers/sisters?  Would it have started way back when during his childhood?

My opinion,he has no trub tellin lies/fibs.....and he doesn't know how to deal with people other than a bs relationship with god etc. 1 of his probs is getting along with people. That will never change with him as he sees himself as better than others. That had to start at a very young age in his life.

Well I'm tired so headin to bed,to be continued lol

I'm guessing that the "spa cult girl" isn't as "she" seems.

If she is really legit, haven help her.

I concur Brewman :)

A few years back I personally tracked his Ip's and others,to verify my thoughts. More than once I found this and that ;)

What I loved was, I had a real electrical engineer buddy of my,pose a few questions to him on his board. This was over 2 years ago. His response/answers were comical,and it only reaffirmed in my mind,what a BSer he really is!

He's nuttin more than a gypsy in the age of the internet,peddling snake-oil and uses "fear" and "superiority" as his sales tactics. Bet his parents are proud!  

Lastly,there's no way in hades that he believes in god etc as logic will tell ya......... As he has lied,and uses business practices that HE knows are wrong.....If he really believed in god,wouldn't he be scared of the punishment he will receive,when he reaches his maker?

And I agree with others,he has limited debate skills. Chas and others have proven that. I like a good debate,and when I want,I can tango with the best of em lol. There are rules to be followed in a debate. He breaks almost all of em LOLOL

New to this forum.  After reading this thread, I had to know more about this guy.  I have been to his site, logged onto his forum, and read both Erik's and Andy's stories.   All I can say is WOW!!!   The scary thing is, I live in the Denver area, as a spa tech I was looking for a job about this time last year.  HIS IS ONE OF THE PLACES I APPLIED TO!!!

Dondged a huge bullet there.   But now I have to see it all for myself.  I think I will go to his store and check out the sales pitch.  Just gotta make sure I don't get pulled into the "cult"  LOL.

Just be careful you don't get too close to the ozinator fumes emitted from his tubs. What I've heard is,people that have visited his shop,smelled something funny coming from his tubs. Over a period of 72 hours,these perfectly sane people were then suddenly transformed into paper injunears,and praise Conjuna daily.

1 of the things Conjuna sells,is bronze Idols of himself. I've yet to have seen 1 personally,but I think Terminator and others have pics of it. The kicker to this idol is,it has an ATM slide slot,which directly deposits into the Spa Deceptionists cult fund.

Tumbleweed,be afraid,very afraid ;)
