Borked Pseudo Mailed - 24 Feb 2008 18:35 GMT
PeterPhile Bowditch, known convict, liar, fraud, and molester
has announced that he is abandoning his rental tenement in
"lovely Parramatta" and moving to another rental in Grenfell,
NSW. (Why rental?)

Do the lovely and unsuspecting people of Grenfell know about
the monster moving into their community? They do now.....

Grenfell has a number of clubs and directories with accessible
sites that allow posters to update, comment and inform. Update,
comment, and inform we have. Notable response from a local
tennis club president..."They won't be playing here!"....

Mr William P O'Neill of the Canadian Cancer Research Group. He is too
cowardly to use his own name.

I've been meaning to ask you Peter, did you go to the James Randi
meeting
in Florida this year?  I saw it being advertised in Skeptic
Magazine.   I happened
to pick up an edition of it some time back, and thought of you when I
saw the
advertisement.  I see there is one in Vegas coming up too.  How is he
as far as
an entertainer goes??

Penn & Teller are better entertainers, but Randi has a pretty solid
act.

We got a special P&T show as part of the 2004 Randi Amazing Meeting,
but I was a little disappointed. The tricks they did as part of a
presentation at the conference were more entertaining (to me, at
least) than the Rio stage show.

I saw Lance Burton back when the Monte Carlo first opened in Vegas.
He was
really bringing in the crowds.  Now, I think he has his own theatre in
Vegas,
and it is a much bigger act than it was.  There was another guy in the
mid
guy in like the mid 70's (the era of the polyester suits), Uri
something that was
supposed to be a psychic--he got front page headlines -- but he turned
out
to be a real fake.  I think it was Johnny Carson that busted him for
his
fakehood.

Lance Burton did an escape from a straight jacket at the Randi
conference I went to. At the time he was reputed to be the
highest-paid entertainer in Las Vegas. The following week we saw a
busker at the Fisherman's Wharf cable car terminus do a far better
escape act. He was working for coins in a hat. Life's not fair.

That would be Uri Geller and it was Randi who exposed him. Carson was
a friend of Randi's and arranged to set Geller up on live TV.

Drug warning: Randi's fans are very loyal and possessive. Consumption
of one more glass of Jim Beam and Coke can cause certain people very
close to my keyboard right now to stand on a dance floor at a Randi
fanfest and do a spoon-bending trick. Consumption of alcohol by
spectators allowed me^H^Hhim to get away with it and even garner
applause.

Actually, it was a combination job of two magicians (Randi and Carson)
taking out a fraudulant third (Geller) magician who claimed psychic
powers.

Randi's entertainment is a mind stimulus. You would not like it.

Stick with Sesame Street re-runs.

No, I haven't been since 2004.

Randi doesn't do much entertaining at these events because that is not
what they are about, but as a close-up magician he is one of the best
there is. I suppose at 80+ I can forgive him for not doing tricks like
escaping from a safe suspended over Niagra Falls like he did in his
youth. The word from the day was that he was the equal of Houdini.
