drinking genes... my mother was irish and my father is french, spanish/italian.

I have this book about hereditary genes and alcoholism. Its pretty cool to read.

its called Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism by James Robert Milam, Katherine Ketcham

If you appreciate science, this book will explain so much about this subject. Makes a world of difference to me when I am indulging.

I'm about as whitebread English/Irish as they come, but for the past 12 years I've lived in the heart of the largest French-Canadian community outside of Quebec (St. Boniface, MB) and I can tell you that some of the "frogs" here can drink till the fuggin cows come home. I know several that I'd stack up against the likes of lebrat in any drinking game.


But it's not about who can drink the most. It's about who get's drunk on premium beer (anything Canadian-made) and world-class rye-whisky (Seagram's Crown Royal, Canadian Club etc)...... and who gets drunk on fizzy beer-flavored water and jim beam.

That sounds like an interesting read.

Ive read it.

You need to paint your nails again. So sexy.

hehe i've gotten in so many fights when drinking that stuff

yep it even mentions evolution, and the process of natural selection...

for example: the native american indians were pretty much introduced to alcohol by the white man (correct me if i am wrong), and the stereotype of the drunk indian has to do with the fact that their genetics just don't enable them to process alcohol as well as other races.

But the statisitics change, with different ethnicities, because there is a genetic problem in the mix. I'm drunk, so go ahead and read the book if you are curious by what I managed to type here.

I have done over $6000 worth of work for Hungryman.


sometimes I think i am just a pice of sand in a desert. amongst all these BIG design comanies,
HOWEVER, people come to me because I do have my own company, I do my own designs... and they know exactly what they are getting.. If the client wants - I sit there and get the design done while they are on icq telling me what they want.

They know it is my own work they are paying for, and that makes them happy. and that is what it is all about. (along with being paid)

Ok.

Ill paint them just for you right now Sly.

Pics will follow.

Pretty good stuff.

:glugglug

What's he charge for stuff like that?

Straight up. No broker.

Dude, the piss they call beer in the states ain't got no effect on me...

It's pathetic man... listen to this CD Smith...

The CANADIAN Beer (IAM Canadian) that they sell here in San Diego is Nothing close to the real thing sold in Canada...

they have some kind of weird law here... something like 4% max or something... cuz believe me, that beer is NOT the same as the one sold in Canada

Ahem.

I told him no less than 150

but Hungry gave him 75 bucks.

Well, after 2-4 changes and a couple months.

You ever had to wait a month for 75 bucks?

hahahah

I just got a bottle of Georges Duboef's Beaujolais Nouveau, does that make me a fag?

Sadly, yes :BangBang:

but hey, I charge less than 150 and I'm not related to HM or TA!

Fletch: Maybe some glittering and stars could make the trick with your nails. And honey, you really need a good manicure, let the nails grow, princess! :winkwink:

YES! how about 1 payment in 6 months........... for about 5 different jobs!

First off, thanks for replying so I can clarify things. I put some quotes below my final answer that I mentioned in my reply.

I tried finding the "2 year" thing I mentioned, but I couldn't locate it again. What I was trying to say is that after a certain time period of not taking action (after knowing about something) then it is usually deemed as accepted. Silence denotes acceptance, at least in Robert's Rules. Read further, and my thoughts will be more clear..

I agree with you fully. You can't argue what is right or wrong. And no court anywhere would argue against it. The problem here is whether in this situation Hungryman owes anything to anyone.

Sly_RJ was the first person to bring logic into this thread. You need to know first off if money was to be paid, and second, who it would be paid to. The fact that BuckNaked asked Amputate to do a design for Hungryman (to get him 'the fuck away from me') is basically a pay-off on BuckNaked's part. As vidvicious said, that would have been taken care of when XXXdesigngroup.com was dissolved. The fact that BuckNaked and Amputate both laughed at the fact that it was an inside joke, and that BuckNaked didn't want anything said because he didn't want to start any trouble with his job showed that they both knew it was a design that was completed by Amputate, and it seems to be a 'favor' from BuckNaked from Amputate, which BuckNaked gave to Hungryman to get him off of his ass.

I know this is chunky, and I'm in the middle of cooking supper.

Amputate, I am not taking sides, I am just trying to figure out the situation for myself. I do feel as though Hungryman is the wrong person to be asking money for. You did the design and kept quiet about doing the design for BuckNaked/Duane/Pensfan as a favor, and that's great, and it was a great design, though I think you're trying to crack the wrong egg. I'm not even sure there is an egg that should be cracked.

BuckNaked, I understand you had problems with Hungryman, and I'm sure I don't know to what extent, though you didn't bring any proof saying that Hungryman owed Amputate, or you, any money for the design. Oh, you also mentioned a whole lot of defaming things with no solid evidence, as evidence (or actually just to defame Hungryman), which was pointless for Amputate's situation.

If there are holes or something you don't find clear, then reply and state speficially what you don't find clear.. maybe I messed up my argument, maybe it is faulty, just don't say something pointless like "You're wrong! *middle finger*"

Cheers,
Matt

Six months Angel?! Lucky you :p

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...threadid=46161

Here's a thread that relates to work I did for HM almost a year ago now. Like Angel, Amp & Fletch's buddy, it was never paid for by HM, although I am sure Nick from Payserve would have paid him for them.

This is what I cannot understand and is what ultimately pisses me off and stops me from feeling sorry for him; Client comes to Hungryman requiring some design work to be done. HM agrees on a price with the client etc and outsources the work to another designer, agreeing to pay them something like 40/50% of whatever the client agrees to pay him. HM whips the designer's ass to complete the work ASAP. HM settles payment with the client, but no, HM doesn't take 40/50% out of it and send it straight to the designer who did the work, he keeps it for himself and obviously spends it or whatever, then comes back to his designers with the excuse of HAVING NO MONEY!

That is what never made any sense to me. The % required to pay the designer should have been taken straight out of the client's payment for the job in question. Angel and I feel completely scammed by this guy, I'm sure Amp and Fletch's mate feel the same way. I don't want to sound like an asshole, and no offense to DH, I know you're just trying to help the guy, but is what HM did to all of us much better than what we flame russian scammers for on here? And now you are starting threads, donating money and saying how sorry you are that his wife kicked him out? He gets no sympathy from me for the sole fact that he took money that was rightfully his designers' and used it for himself. What's next, the Slava and Footnic charity drive?

I don't really give a shit about the money anymore, I know I'm not going to see squat, the thing I can't stand is being fucked over by people like him and seeing others getting fucked over by people like him as well. Enough is enough, designers are SICK TO DEATH of being whipped, asskicked and forced to work like dogs to complete work and meet insane deadlines only to receive excuse after excuse from the client (or in this case, broker) regarding payment. What's the problem? You expect us to pull allnighters and finish a 6 page site tour + 50 banners working nonstop until finished, but you SOMEHOW find it too difficult to login to your paypal account and click a couple buttons in under a year?

Bah.

Trust me.

Me offering to give Hungryman a fucking dime was a serious bad call on my part.

When he was down I offered to send him a hard drive and CPU etc.

I wouldnt give him a fucking breath.

The reason I am so fucking pissed about this now is because when I called him on it. He got all fucking pissed and fucking started talking shit. Rallying his fucking bullshit against me.

In the end I was right.

Even the fucking 'Hungryman Approved' button was done by someone else, I smelled it then, and I SEE it now.

Burn in your fucking scabs Hungry.

You fucking lied.

:glugglug

Amen to that.

In the end, he got what was coming.

the standard markup for a sales rep (in the real design world) is 30% on top of the base price, at the very most. Usually its 15%.

hungryman has been treading on dangerous ground by trying to profit more than the decent margin, from other's creative works. If I created something, and then someone wanted to double the price I felt is was worth, I would tell them to gf themself.

:(

Its a sad world, But someone has to put their boot on the throat of the dying.

I fucking hate people who act like fucking shadows and theives in the night.

Fucking Hungry crossed the fucking line with me when I introduce you to someone and you fucking give them the run a round like some fucking chump.

'Next Monday' 'Next Monday' 'Next Monday' 'Next Monday'

Get a fucking clue.

Fuck Monday.

Fuck you.

Pay me.

Hungry has no honor, or else he would live by the words he used.

'I pay in full upon delivery.'

A fucking lie.

:glugglug

damn Fletch..... remind me never to piss you off bro.... :winkwink:

Heh.

I'm just glad you had the balls to out him like you did, Amp.

Fuck you pay me.

Finally saw Goodfellas.

Hey bro, just thought i'd point out that the thread you're talking about is not a recent thread. It's very old, someone just bumped it for irony's sake. Back then, i don't think more than a handful of people knew even a fraction of the shit mentioned in this thread. So easy up on DH!

By the way: Best thread EVER!

Ah fuck, I wasn't aware of that dude.

Hehe, no harm done i'd imagine.

Exactly.

I brought this shit up and was shot down.

Hungryman even called me on the phone claiming he wasnt doing nothing. Drinking Hard had some weird feelings about how Hungry was reppin artists and even made posts about it. This shit went on for a few days, dig up the threads? Search for 'Daggett'

Now I get a fucking call from my boy asking my about Hungry and Hungry is asking my friend to post against me? hahahaha His momand dad think im a nice guy. what do they (if they even knew) of you? A fucking sneaky farmer.

You fucked yourself.

Hungryman, Ill fucking pay my boy what you owe him because I feel responsible, but know youll get every cent of it back in one way or the other.

As I said, where Im from if I intro you to someone and you fuck em, Im responsible, call it the south, call it honor, either fucking way, ill square your debt, but bitch know - you owe me now.

I knew it all along.

Memory as I have always said is the best weapon humans have, may it serve us well.

I cant fucking believe I gave Tennis Ace shit for you, fucking calling him out and battling bullshit while you were away, no doubt giving artists the run a round. Fucking sorry shit. You atre no different.

No skills. and no source of income?

That makes you a fucking bum.

I swear you fucked up.

You can't turn friends against me. I know Dags family, They like me. His Mom likes me. YOu on the other hand, I'm sure you can imagine what they think.

Hey VidVicious do you square your parners debts?

:glugglug

JUst because I wanna see it up top.

:glugglug

How do you think you can turn a guy on me when his mom calls me by my real name?

you think Im really Fletch?

The dude you try to turn on me calls me by my real name.

You tried to fuck the wrong person.

:glugglug

Times of troublea are gone...

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...threadid=90370

I agree Fletch it sad because I respected him :( Guess what momma allways told me was true TRUST know one on the net :(

never half way.

i hope it fucking burns.

:glugglug

Hungryman and a few other design companies only pay me 50%...
I give up... is EVERYONE DODGY in this business....

I think i amjust going to stick to my own design company and not worry about doing work for other design companies... think that is the too hard basket.

Hey Fletch, how about you respond to my posts?

Cheers,
Matt

Do they have anything to do with me or my boy?

Nope.

I can fucking care less, sorry, but I care mostly about the ones that bleed around me.

Which reminds me.

How much does this fucking burn Hungryman?

'Im so fucking empty - here without you.'

:smokin

I can see that this has completely gotten out of control!!! I've known Hungryman for about a year now and he has proven himself to be an honorable guy. I do business with Hungry now and he has always helped me out in the time of need. Even if the portfolio being posted is not the work of the guy selling the service that portfolio is still the representation of the level of quality coming out of that design house. Amp, I don't know you know you nor do you know me but your post was reckless and uncalled for. In fact when Hungry was selling me his service your name was brought up and he has never tried to make me believe that he is the designer doing my work. I have just cut a check to Hungry for work I have not even received yet and I'm not worried about it being finished to my satisfaction!

Hungry...stop reading these posts and send me my final design!!!

Lata,
Greg S.

Maybe he can finally pay the designers he owes for doing your site.

:glugglug

Better be a big job. There are people owed that have not yet come forward.
