Oh dear.

Two Men Face Court for Goat Sex, Owner Demands Wedding

(AFP from NewsCore) - Two young men accused of having sex with a goat in central Mozambique were facing criminal charges, and the goat's owner was demanding they make traditional wedding arrangements, state media said Friday.

...

The owner was demanding the young men pay him damages and initiate a traditional wedding ceremony by paying "lobolo," a dowry, a family member told Radio Mozambique.

Also? how bored to you have to be, or how disappointed in who you are as a person to make up multiple different characters for the purpose of nothing. no scam, no con, no murderous plot.

This is what I wonder about. I am from a family who never think twice about sacrificing the truth for the sake of a good story, but to create whole other persona--personas is a whole other thing. I mean Gus was around for a while...and as I recall, developed a rapport with a lot of people here quite quickly. The stories weren't really necessary.

Did I really say "give two figs" ?

And following tommyrot's link... [link]

I always thought "chicken hawk" referred to to men who went after underage boys. Which deserves a denigrating term. If your make passes at people above the age of consent, then I don't think there is any reason to use a special term. Well, if Jane Fonda makes a pass at an 18 year old, I think the term might be for the 18 year old might be "lucky".

JZ can you share with newbie me - what crappy NYE?

Not JZ, but -- it was New Year's Eve that "Kimi" (Gus' alleged Korean girlfriend) decided to delurk in Bitches and announce that Gus had died.

t edit And so several Buffistas had their NYEs ruined with mourning for a big fat lying faker.

Janitor and Gus' imaginary Korean girlfriend (Kimi?)

I assume they are one and the same. Annalee didn't get a name for Janitor, but why would he invent two Korean biochemists in Italy?

In terms of Gus: I think he may have started by adding flavor to a Pseudonym and then let it get out of hand. But if instead of "dying" if he had confessed, he might have been forgiven. Don't know. I did not get the worst of it. He fooled me on something comparatively minor which I spotted as false before his "death". But he never promised me a free car, or dragged me into serious emotional discussions. For sure, nobody would have ever trusted him. But that might not have stopped people from enjoying his entertainment value. But faking his death, and tricking some into actually mourning him. That is causing a pain and crossing a line that would make most people not want to see his pixels.

But if instead of "dying" if he had confessed, he might have been forgiven.

Or, you know, he could have just drifted away. He was already doing that -- he wouldn't post for months at a time, and then would return with stories about why (i.e., off in the jungle being bitten by a monkey, busy replicating aspirins in Switzerland, etc.) he had been scarce.

So it's not as though he had been a daily poster, at least not by the time of his not!death. His posting had had so much lag time between posts that he could have just drifted off.

But instead he felt it necessary to go out with a bang and stir things up, and that annoys the shit out of me.

Yeah, he totally didn't need to die to leave. Dying just earned ill will, and seems like a play for sympathy.
