poll: do you miss poor stupid Beth?

[franksolich]

I've been getting some personal messages, both for franksolich here and for franksolich's mole on Skins's island, asking this:

I've been wondering where Beth has gone - I haven't see an EFerrari post in months. Any ideas?

Nope, no idea, even though franksolich has kept close track of poor stupid Beth since her scam that rocked the internet back in the spring of 2005.  Not only for amusement, but also for the quite practical reason that she was part of the then-cabal vowing to wreak havoc on my real-life self.

Over the years, however, I stopped keeping close track of her, because really, she's old and fat now (she was once rather quite attractive, in an Etruscan sort of way) and always drugged up on mood-altering pharmaceuticals, so she's not likely to come out here to the Sandhills and bash franksolich over the head with a baseball bat.

Since she's dissipated so much into comatose insensativity, no longer cognizant of the world around her, no, I don't miss her as much as I would've, if she'd disappeared from Skins's island earlier.

However, as a "product" and a "brand" of that particular product, poor stupid Beth was a good seller, decent and civilized people flocking to the DUmpster curious about her latest lame idiocies.

Not a best-seller, but a good solid steady seller.

So I'm wondering if others miss her, even though I don't, particularly.

By the way, this was the last time poor stupid Beth starred in the DUmpster:

I think I found a stone tool on Sunday walking near a newly turned field.

after which a picture of a rock

It's been worked on three sides of the top. The two longer sides have been flaked to a sharp edge. I can't tell what it might have been, maybe a scraping tool.

after with another picture of the same rock

It fits in your hand nicely although, that third (shorter) side is flat on both surfaces and could have accommodated a handle.

after which a third picture of the same rock

The sharpened edge goes right around the point, although the point is not sharp now.

Appropriate, since they are "the primitives", after all. They'll stare at it, turn it over and over in their hands, pass it around the campfire, bash Tonga in the head with it, finally have a breakthrough in recognizing it could be a tool to perform work with, and promptly toss it into the bushes in fear.

In a few millenia, they might even find a round stone disc with a hole in its center, and ponder what it might be used for.

For some reason I find this to be one of the funniest things I've read on here in a while. Maybe because it is so accurate.

[Freeper]

No I don't miss that bitch at all. I apologize to the ladies of CC for using that term but she is one.

[Tess Anderson]

I *missed* in the sense that I noticed her absence from the DUmp but, no, I don't want her back. She hasn't been as entertaining Doug-less.

[Jasonw560]

Frank, could you enlighten me about the scam? Or just point me in the right direction?

From what I read from her, no great loss.

[franksolich]

You know, despite that she has the highest post-count among all the primitives--the greatbigfatauntoftriplets and Vlada Mitty are gaining on her, but both are still quite a ways behind--poor stupid Beth was not one of the founding primitives of Skins's island back in January 2001.

Since she's been such a constant poster, a lot of decent and civilized people assume she was around since Day One.

But no, she's been around only since November 2004.

And it was six months later, when she was still a newbie, that she launched the scam that rocked the internet.

I could never figure out why my fellow alum Skins never threw her off the island then; she was still a newbie, and doing a whole lot of damage to the name and reputation of his real-estate.

Keeping the Bostonian Drunkard, despite his own grave ruination to the respectability of Skins's island, sort of makes sense, because the Bostonian Drunkard's been around since the beginning.

But keeping a newbie pulling such a stupid stunt, doing so much damage?

[chitownchica]

Poor stupid Beth stepped in it big time a couple of months ago.  If I recall correctly, it was during one of the great flamefests involving the fems from HOF vs. everyone else (I think it was in Meta). The hosts discussed it and decided to leave it.  Beth waited til late night and then hid it on her own.  There were all sorts of calls for her to step down, including some from her co-hosts.

It was hilarious.

I think poor stupid Beth decided to lay low for awhile.

[formerlurker]

Maybe Snopes has been investigating the Andy scam and she went underground.......

[franksolich]

Frank, could you enlighten me about the scam? Or just point me in the right direction?

There is no "right" direction, because the scam was so ill-contrived from the beginning.

It was ludicrous, how lame it was.

Note: the scamdal was going on before conservativecave was founded, and so no original material about it here.

However, these might help:

There's tons of material about poor stupid Beth, the late red round one, and the scamdal here, but the above should help.

Also, regarding poor stupid Beth, her standings in the Top Primitives:

2005 6th place (as sfexpat2000)*
2007 3rd place (as sfexpat2000)
2008 8th place (as sfexpat2000)
2009 3rd place (as EFerrari)
2010 3rd place (as EFerrari)
2011 8th place (as EFerrari)

*should have really been 1st place, Top DUmmie, this year, but the voting rolls were bloated with the presence of grouchy haemorrhoidal old grumps who weren't too fond of following the scamdal at the time

[GOBUCKS]

Of course I miss poor stupid Beth. Not the poor stupid Beth of 2012, when her mental state had clearly deterioriated to dust, but the entertaining, aggressively deranged poor stupid Beth of the past.

Her descriptions of husband Doug Ferrari's mental illness, as seen through the filter of her own, were hilarious.

Her stories describing how her financial advice led her elderly mother to lose not only her income properties, but her home, were DUmp gold.

Her word pictures of the desolate desert property and the decrepit camping trailer that became home for both Mom and her poor stupid daughter were classic DUmpmonkey.

Her stories of her mentally-ill brother and her drug-dealing imprisoned son were endlessly funny.

All the elaborate cooking she described, while limited to a tiny propane stove in a cramped little humpbacked camper were great stories.

All this after the unforgettable andyscam.

Darn right I miss her.
 

[BadCat]

I miss her even less than Doug does.

Missed all the camper and mom stuff.  That had to be a hoot.

That sounds just like the poor stupid Beth we all grew to know.

Of a naturally devious and cheating nature--she can't help but lie and cheat--but s-o-o-o-o inept at it, she screws it up.

[Duke Nukum]

No.

LOL.

She's probably moved to  Venezuela to do a little false idol worship.

[commonguymd]

No.

There is an active poster in the feminist circle that lives there.  Maybe she went to visit.

[Tess Anderson]

Yes, that rock thread was great, hope when she returns, she'll make a beeline for that rural forum again.

sfexpat2000, I had forgotten all about that alt. She just "commented" at youtube last night under that name, you're probably right that she's just biding time.

Yep, she lives up to the nickname you've given her.   

Maybe she's been too busy fighting the local government about her mom's land and the roads.

That was a riot, when she whined about "maybe" having to pay something under the table to the inspectors.

I looked it up, and poor stupid Beth's county's run by a corrupt Democrat machine.....for which she probably diligently votes.

[Mr Mannn]

When someone who's known for being stupid suddenly disappears, I always suspect a jail somewhere is holding her...or maybe an asylum.

But all is not lost for Beth, she might meet up with Bobo the Hobo. They could discuss old times.

Yep, I generally assume some well meaning family members finally got the missing DUmmy committed to an institution.

[miskie]

Don't miss her, don't care.

[obumazombie]

Don't miss her, don't care.

Now that's a reply !
