I met Rupert ;))))
 

I use to work for the Dead back in 98, its been a long time since I went and caught up with them all again.

Decided to go catch them yesterday since they came pretty close to me, and before the show, I got to meet and chill out with Rupert out in the lot.

He is awesome in person, I gave him some websites to check out, hope to see him around the boards =)

:thumbsup :thumbsup

Sabres :thumbsup Fuckin' A

Seems that milion bucks hasnt changed him at all... Same hair and style of dress Ive heard from someone who met him in NYC after the finale he really IS a nice guy :thumbsup :thumbsup

Jay, did he think you might be his long, lost son? hehehehe

LOL, nope that never came up. Did get a few to sit and chat with him a bit though, he is really a nice guy. Its funny, he said that a few years ago, people would cross the street to avoid quote "guys like us", now they form a line just to shake his hand lol. I had to tell him my story, a few weeks ago at a local pool, I had about 4 six year olds come up to me and tell me that they loved Rupert... lol... kids...

cool:thumbsup

What am I missing here, who is Rupert?

That's awesome. He seemed like a cool guy, good to know he was in person.

Most popular survivor contestant ever.

Totally cool when money and fame does not fuck with people... That happens way to often.. Glad it did not happen to good ol' Rupert...

Rupert rules

awesome :thumbsup

As long as you be yourself, if should all work out!!! Unless your a cockhead to begin with, then you're just fucked =)

I saw him yesterday as well. :winkwink: I didn't talk to him, but saw him in the lot, and inside the venue.

Fun show. :thumbsup

Seems like a decent guy.

cool pic :thumbsup

Awesome man, I loved Rupert from when he stole the other tribes shoes and traded them for goods and food, lmao.
Voted for him to win the million about 100 times, hahaha.
:thumbsup

I cried when he won, I was so happy!!!

same here

Pirates pilage
Pirates steal

That man was the coolest Survivor contestant ever and I was happy to give him my vote toward his mill:glugglug

Man, they played Liberty =))))) I was sooooo psyched...

Ill get all my pics up tonight, maybe tomorrow from the show! Good stuff :thumbsup

Man, it was just an awesome show! Liberty, Cumberland Blues, Lucy in the Sky...and the Drums section was unbelievable!

I had pavilion tickets, but I chilled in the lawn the whole time with friends. I don't have any pics from inside the venue, but I took a lot while we were camping, etc. Let me know when you get your pics online. I'll have mine up on http://www.kindtimes.com soon!

He spent IT ALL already...........bought his mom a house, a house for him and his wife, set up a charity foundation with a large endowment from his million, and set the rest aside for college for his kid. Its all gone and he's still a happy guy.

Love the guy.

looks like a seperated at birth pic

My wife (normally a total cynical misanthrope, which is why I married her of course!) thought Rupert was so cool she wrote to him congratulating him on his million. She hasn't hand-written a letter in a decade or more, and never wrote a 'celebrity' before in her life.

And damned if he didn't write back, responding to the details of her letter and enclosing a picture! :thumbsup

Recently I commented on another thread about how some people couldn't get class beat into them with a stick, no matter how rich they got... Rupert is a perfect example of how you can be a class act with or without money.

I couldn't think of a more deserving guy to get that coin. :2 cents:

Love the hair style :D

Bullshit, he's changed big time.. he's got a new t-shirt..

http://rupertb.com <-- he said he's sorry it sucks, how do you fire family?

http://rupertskids.com <-- he said keep an eye on this, will be top notch, being put together by Survivors assistant producer (big blonde lady is all I got as far as names go)



:thumbsup

I remember a few phone calls about rupert :)

Said it before, I'll say it again.... Rupert is THE man.

Those sites of his look great. He's even got a hot message board going there I see, I'm sure there are great things in store for this guy in the future.

I think we voted for him like a 1000 times. Rupert seems very cool! :thumbsup

Yes, It is nice to see him in something other than that tie dye tank top!! :thumbsup

Rupert is great. I hope he gets that show on animal planet.

yeah, rupert certainly seems like a nice guy. Dedicated husband and father. He deserved to win that million dollars more than anyone on that show, I think everyone I know voted for him, hes just your average everyday good guy. :thumbsup

wtf is rupert?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That line won me over too. His attitude is awesome!

Did you hear the one about the rope?

skip it.

Rupert is the last pirate on Earth. Pillager of shoes, digger of shelters that flood, spearer of many fish.... a true gentleman.
