The Pitters' Place

Hey, it's Simon Elbaz's birthday today!

Who?

I don't remember when you came along, Bruce. I thought you were there on the Religion Board when the Simon thing happened. Guess not. Gendo (and especially Jordan) would remember the details better, but essentially Simon was a guy who came up with fantastical stories and travels and eventually got found out to be a complete fraud. It was quite amusing.

It was suspected that he was someone's sock account. And Gendo always seems to remember his birthday....

Hmmm....

Oh, I remember hearing that story, just forgot the names. Is this the guy that "died" or had a friend that "died"? I became active in '08 or '09 I think, and I'm pretty sure this was before my time.

I don't remember people thinking he was a sock; rather just a random troll. A few of us are still friends with "him" on Facebook, which is where the birthday thing comes from.

He had a friend, Jack Manley, who also joined the forum. Jack was in a motorcycle accident and eventually died from it. It was eventually discovered that Jack was just a sock of Simon, and nothing Simon had ever told us was true.

^ Oh yeah, that was it. I thought Simon was supposed to be someone's sock.

Oh, that takes me back.

I was hoping to be the first to post this. Keep on rocking, Simon, and rest in power, Jack!

It was bizarre when Simon showed back up on IMDB trying to pretend nothing ever happened.

You people have the greatest memories.
