Eskimo hut didn't give a shit about shaggy, he just wanted to inflict pain because he's an asshole and he could

Blacklab went into business with the guy who owns Eskimo hut. Which included an ambiguously worded clause about prior art/intellectual party.

Guy who owns Eskimo hut said he could boost revenue to shaggy with connections and ad sponsorships. Blacklab agrees to pay him if he does this. 

Blacklab pays most of the startup costs for business that has nothing to do with shaggy from shaggy money. 

When startup starts actually being funded blacklab stopped subsidizing. 

This went on for many years.

Startup collapses and investors lose all their money. Eskimo hut guy is only out about 700k tops real VC out in the realm of 8 figures. 

Eskimo hut guy is a rich asshole who hated blacklab so sued him on behalf of what was left of the startups entity that in theory owned a percentage all of blacklab prior and future work. 

Dick butt, fupa, treefiddy reddit post in deposition. 

Blacklab loses in court because jury doesn't know shit about how websites work. 

Immamac starts surly and blacklab says hey there's a cool new site not owned by Eskimo hut. 

Everyone moves. 

Site turned over to Eskimo hut guy. 

Scat, lots of scat. 

Blacklab judgement proof and Eskimo hut gets nothing except a huge lawyer bill for winning. 

8badmofo saves the day. TexasWolf has meandering conversations with himself. 

TexasWolf disappears.

8badmofo eventually gets tired of yelling at clouds by himself. 

Site gets traffic from nostalgic threads here. 

Site dies. 

 

Is it a safe space now to talk about how certain arctic parties misrepresented investors as being accredited when they weren't?

Thanks. I knew about half of all that. The scat half.

And BL used the tree fiddly reference in court also. The judge was not amused

The scat half ended up being more than half.

Those dudes were literally starting dozens of threads where they were the only person to reply (to themselves). Those threads should be preserved in some sort of internet disfigured wax museum.

As an aside I think “internet disfigured wax museum” may be a decent band name or motto for the off-season.

wouldn't surprise me.  Reminds me of Wheeler's old story about how he got paid out by Katy for his portion of hornfans.

Didn't Eskimo hut cunt take the tree fiddy joke seriously and thought that was the actual value of shaggy? But at $350,000 or some dumb shit.

Yeah, IIRC black lab had to explain under oath the origin of the tree fiddy joke, Loch Ness monster and all

Judge never watched South Park and didn't get it.

Would you want to work for a private entity where the owner is siphoning funds out of your potential salary pool and risking it in an unrelated venture?

Would you want to work for a private entity where the owner is siphoning funds out of your potential salary pool and risking it in an unrelated venture?

What if I told you there were no paid employees.

Look would I want to work for a living for a sole proprietor were my living depended on him not doing something like that? Of course not, but don’t be pedantic. This was a fucking website that wasn’t in it to be a going business making profits with employees depending on it for a living.

Shaggy and new venture shared a rack at a colo. Shaggy paid for the rack. Other venture did not pay anything towards rack. Shaggy had no employees and no debts.

Also, real reason I lost the lawsuit was Immamac was the only witness called in the trial and wasn't very convincing.

They hated Jesus?

Complete tree fiddy story from the trial:

 

 

douchebag haaavard lawyer: did you ever claim to know the value of shaggy?
me: no
dhl: are you sure?
me: yeah
dhl: you never said it was worth $350k
me: no 

asks the judge to approach me and he walks up and shows me a printout from the reddit AMA which featured dickbut among other things.

points to a question saying: 
How much is shaggy worth in your estimate (answer in US dollars please)?

 

 

 

 

my answer on reddit:
about tree fidy


I start laughing,
me: uh, that's a joke answer, see, there's this TV show called south park......
dhl: nevermind, no question your honor
judge: Mr. Blacklab that's enough
me: and there's this character called the loch ness monster...
judge: Mr. blacklab
me: and he's always asking for tree fidy....
judge: MR. BLACKLAB that's enough
me: ok

deposition lulz

I got deposed during the case and during the deposiion the lawyer asked me if I ever used "blacklabx11" as a username.

I use blaklabx11 on a few places like playstation network and the apple game center on my iphone. What the fuck did I say on clash of clans or star wars battle front that could possibly relate to this case  thought as he asked the question. Then I remembered I used blacklabx11 at reddit. Oh fuck. 

For some stupid reason I did an AMA on reddit. the ama is here
https://www.reddit.com/r/LonghornNation/comments/2g4ntd/blacklab_owner_of_shaggybevo_ama/

the lawyer slid a printout of the ama over and started asking questions. The transscript is below.

As a result of losing does he still get to claim a % of your future work???

2008 OG. I scatted shaggy bad. Y'all have no clue what i had to see to that (tjhooker)... Anyway, I am about to be smoked again. I even showed boobs of my ex wife from ring cam. This site isnt the same at all. very much like like hornfans 2000. I was a Bob wheeler acquaintance in the site wars. He tailgated next to me at Waller creek,

Then I probably met you more than once, we tailgated with Bob/LFZ from 2000-05 for most games (not all).  Those tailgates were a blast in their heyday.  Feel free to repost pics of said breasts.

The way I remember it, and I'm being serious.  He would put his dog in the cab of his truck, leave the A/C running, take his other keys with him on his belt loop, and head into the game.  I remember 'cause a couple times we'd haul ass back to the tailgate to slam beers at halftime and the truck would be running and the dog would be fine.  I think it was a White Lab IIRC, but that was so long ago.  Wheeler was a lot of things, but cruel to animals wasn't one of them.  He randomly popped up at a post-game about 10 years ago and we caught up, same old Wheeler.  Haven't heard a peep about him ever since and a lot of the original tailgate crew still post on here.  I wasn't part of the OSU bus debacle, I think I had to work that weekend.  But I guess that's how he'll be remembered which is a bit of shame, 'cause there are other stories to tell.  Hey, maybe he could write a book about 'em ;)

He wasnt cruel. That dog loved me. He did do that with the AC but in Oct he just tied her off. Bob was a good guy. I know we met if you know this. I literally had place right next to him for 4 yrs. Now that lot doesn't exist. We should have a thread about his "bus" and his book. lul

Who else here has a book?

I think those topics have been hashed out to death over the years.  But yeah, I'd be curious to know how he's doing and where he's at.  

I'll always have a soft spot for Bob.  I was living in the Bay Area for grad school in 1998/1999 and was just aching for connection back to UT.  I found a sports bar that showed UT games and a handful of Longhorns would gather there.  Not many of us.  Somebody told me about the LFZ message board, and I joined that evening and was hooked.  Moved back to Austin shortly thereafter and connected with the tailgate crew and Bob around 2000/2001.  And became fast friends.  Shit, just a couple months ago, ran into Marie & her husband (name escapes me, really nice guy with a beard) at happy hour by my house.  We shot the shit about Wheeler and the old days like no time had passed.  And like I said, I know of at least 3 regulars from that tailgate that are regular posters on here, 20 years later.  

I had a plain white Longhorn decal on the back of my SUV years ago, but had overlaid the LFZ logo on top of it ('cause I'm a badass like that ;)  ) And I was in a parking garage in the Arboretum and was walking back and a couple was in front of me walking perpendicular to my vehicle.  And one of 'em pointed to my decal  and other one said "It's some kinda renegade Longhorn site."  We didn't have smart phones back then.  But as fast as I could get back to my office and email Wheeler/post it to the board about his site being "the Renegade Longhorn site."  I think he even posted it as the motto on the landing page and next thing I know, Brian shows up to a tailgate with the Logo tattoo'd on his leg.  Strange Days Indeed.  Most Peculiar Mama.  Roll.
