Lmao loans for a wedding. Bet he uses pay day loan joints too.

Apparently this is a thing in Canada, or at least in Ontario. Now you have certain ethnic groups where large weddings are just tradition, but I know of several people who have gotten loans to pay for huge weddings. They'll also throw a "stag and doe" party which is more like a fundraiser for the couple. You rent out some hall, sell tickets, and auction off prizes as well as a cash bar. [

Oh yeah...

So I was at my local record store today picking up a few things. Some old guy comes in and starts asking the owner if he can bring in his collection to sell it.

Guy: So I have a bunch of rock records from the 60s and 70s I'd like to sell.
Owner: Sounds good. Just bring it in and we'll have a look.
Guy: I have Rolling Stones. Would you take those?
Owner: Yes.
Guy: I have Crosby Stills and Nash. Would you take those?
Owner: Yes.
Guy: I have Crosby Still Nash and Young. Would you take those?
Owner:.....Yes
Guy: What about Led Zeppelin. Would you take those?
Owner: YES! I will take anything classic rock.
Guy: I have the Who. Would you take those?
Owner: :doh:

If I wasn't looking at the guy with my own eyes I would have sworn it was Richard.

If you go, see if you can get a pic with him for the thread. But only if you're comfortable with that.
Maybe he can drape his dead arm over your shoulder (kidding).

No, absolutely not. He was enormously and obviously super hosed-up from birth, there is no way anyone ever treated him like a normal kid.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
I'm not basing this on anything but I think a lot of progress has been made in regards to how special needs kids should be raised that might have made Eric a lot less hosed up mentally. Society used (think like 70+ years ago) to treat them wholly as outcasts and freaks and the parents were usually encouraged just to lock them in a room where people couldn't see them then the snapback from that was ultra-coddling where they were never to be corrected when wrong or treated as anything but unique glimmering stars and to be given anything and everything at a moment's notice because of some sort of warped sense of merit from parents. Nowadays, I think the prevailing thought is to raise them exactly like you would a normal child (within the boundary of their handicap) so that they're more well adjusted as they age. Eric grew up in that ultra-coddling period and it stunted his social and mental growth extremely hard.

You're likely right.

I have two sons, the older one who had a brush with the real possibility of being severely disabled when he was less than a year old (thankfully, it turned out to be nothing), and these pictures are really depressing. From time to time, I'll look at my son and think about how it all could have been drastically different and goddammit, now I'm crying in the loving stern thread. gently caress. :smith:

I'd like to take this moment to remind everyone of some things Eric did

- Eric saw a reality show on TV called "Three Wishes", and one of the participants was a 19 year old girl Eric found attractive. He then used to clues the show haphazardly gave out to send the girl gifts and messages until he was visited by police and told to stop. When this was brought up on the show, Eric's defense was "The show didn't do that good of a job concealing her identity."

- Eric searched online until he found the phone number of the mother of an American Idol contestant, and called the poor woman relentlessly asking for a date with her daughter to his brother's wedding. He called so much that she, not even being a listener to the show, told Howard 100 news about it in a bid to make it stop.

- When Natalie Maines, the multiplatinum, grammy winning lead singer of The Dixie Chicks, implied that she does not wholly believe that Bunny Ranch whores had fallen in love with Eric, he blamed her for the fact that said whores no longer wanted to sleep with him for free. He then threatened to anally rape Natalie. He, a man who is incapable of moving a laptop or crawling on to a toilet unassisted, threatened to anally rape a fully sized healthy adult female grammy award winning country superstar. Over the assertion that whores might not be in love with him.



95% of Eric's severe problems were due to overcoddling. Under completely different circumstances, this could have been Eric https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWhMgzCUYs8

The rape stuff was too lightly played and very hosed up because it wasn't anything even approaching a bit, he was spewing venom when he said those words.

Eric was a terrible human being and I refuse to remember him as anything but.

Don't forget that Degarmo's mom also had to change her phone number because he was calling multiple times a day. After all of that, he met Diana face to face and still asked her out on a date. He also called a hit on a guy that spoke poorly about him on the wrap up show. It was funny because nobody could ever take it seriously, but there is no question what his honest intention was. He clearly was not very bright, highly coddled, and trapped with the inability to move under his own power which just made him nuts. He was just incredibly delusional and spoiled.

Didn't the show give him either Degarmo or McPhee's phone number at one point? I remember Gary telling Howard later, on-air, "we told him to call once" or something like that.
