by Brown Nose the Pirate
Troll at Large
Year in, year out, no one in the shortwave pirate radio hobby generates lulz at his own expense quite like Pat Murphy and his falter ego Commander Bunny of baby monitor radio powerhutch WBNY.
April Fools Day 2013 was no exception, other than providing an exceptional example of the Lagomurph's knack for snitching dual fail where most fail addicts would be satisfied with one.
Despite months of slacking off, your friendly neighborhood troll-bloggers here at Radio Paranoia sobered up just long enough last week to slap together a transparently obvious April Fools Day prank post. Mostly it was just our way of saying "Yes, we're still alive and occasionally sober." It wasn't our best effort at trolling, and we certainly didn't expect the Lagomurph to swallow like a Thai ladyboy. But ya gotta admire his enthusiasm.
 |
| Too subtle? |
After swallowing like the AVN for Best Oral was at stake, Commander Butthurt not only hacked up a hareball on his own blarg, he also managed to pull a deuce out of his butt and immediately took a giant "Welcome home, suckers!" dump in the newly revived FRN. Apparently the Lagomurph hadn't taken a crap since the annual Ides of March FRN shutdown and was so full of Murphy he exploded on the FRN. Fortunately the place is a ghost town and nobody got tagged with any spatter.
Watch your step, kids, it's foul going between the piles of cecotropes under his Murphy nom de guerre, and under his Commander Bunny nom-nom-nom de hare.
The timing couldn't have been lulzier. The FRN came back online April 2. We thank John Cruzan and hope he had a restful respite in the arms of Eris.
Screencaps provided so you don't need to visit the WBNY blarg, or the FRN - although the latter is such a ghost town now it's easier to find the few posts from the handful of the faithful, bless 'em (not a dig at you fellows, honest). So far Murphy is using only the CB radio alias and hasn't activated his sock drawer army... yet.

| Murphy takes an April Turd dump on the FRN. This pile of poop was later wiped clean. |

| Commander Buttmunches on a fresh pile of cecotropes. |

| Your butthurt only makes us stronger. |
Good thing you saved the page from the FRN Guise, the thread was removed this morning and had a 2nd response before disappearing.
ReplyDeleteTo the FRN Admn:
Why don't you guys just own the fact that in the past 2yrs. you've had to delete more of Pat's stupid bullshit post than anyone else. You do realize your loyalty to Mike is coming at a price, right?
Murphy probably deleted his own rant on the FRN after the penny finally dropped that he was blowing a gasket over an April Fools prank.
ReplyDeleteMurphy could never see the humor in anything unless it's directed at someone else-- and usually it has to involve homosexuality or child molestation, because his sense of humor never seemed to have developed beyond the anal stage.
ReplyDeleteIt may be that cosmik deleted Pat's rant on the FRN. I'm sure he recognizes that the FRN has sunk to new lows in participation. Allowing Murphy to continue to let his vendettas spill over into the FRN just drives more people away. In the past he's gotten rid of rants by kracker and even JTA, so this is entirely possible.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that Commander Bunny hasn't found a way to blame Poet for Margaret Thatcher's death (yet).
ReplyDeletePerhaps Winston will chime in on the FRN soon with some thoughts on the late Annette Funicello.
You guys, stop all this Butthurt talk! You're just making me hot.
ReplyDeleteYou wanna dance, bitch? I'll show you some Butthurt right out in the f00kin street!
DeleteHmmm... according to Bad Translator:
Delete"Kracker tells him that he must dance with you in mind, so protect your livestock. He'll show you how he deals with a rude hurt butt."
Also, that 4/9/13 1:45 AM post was probably fake. When Kracker posts he generally uses his Blogger profile ID number, not the URL for his blog. But the accent was about right.
DeleteOh, go on.
DeleteNext thing ya know, you'll probably be telling us that that wasn't really Murphy getting hot, either!
Remember: we're trying to make Pirate Radio fun again! If the butt don't hurt, you ain't having fun!
ReplyDeleteKracker: "You wanna dance, bitch?
ReplyDeleteI'll show you some Butthurt right out in the f00kin street!"
'You wanna dance' means he wants to fight you.
I'm not quite sure what the second part means.
By "dance" he meant "stuff tips in his g-string". And by "butthurt right out in the f00kin street" he meant he needs peepee for his bunghole.
DeleteButthurt! Butthurt!! My butt hurts, oh yeah. Hee hee!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is something wrong with you people.
DeleteI am an expert at finding out that there is something wrong with other people.
The biggest joke in this situation is Commander Bunny. Of course, since the Pirate Radio World revolves around him, does that make the Commander an Axis power??
ReplyDeleteYou know, I don't mind the swelling, but I can't stand the itching!
ReplyDeleteTry Gold Bond Powder. Dolly Parton didn't endorse it for nuthin'. Had to keep the girls swinging and swaying without sweating and chafing.
ReplyDeleteHas my stalker exploded lately?
ReplyDeleteI worry about that fella. A dose of salts would do him a world of good.
(Golf clap.)
Delete"A dose of salts" is the correct but mostly forgotten phrase that's become Murphyized into "a grain of salt" as a description for skepticism.
A dose of salts was a laxative (Louis Armstrong's favorite was Swiss Kriss). Highly recommended for taking a nice, big Beck or Coulter, or even a ladylike little Murphy.
He's continuing to prove how irrelevant he is in the world of pirate radio.
DeleteMostly he's continuing to prove how good he is at plagiarizing copyrighted material from Huffington Post, Wonkette and other sites.
Delete"A dose of salts" seems to be code for something I don't care to contemplate. But judging from his taste in illustrations, he may be into it.
ReplyDeleteOften knocked by those who have no hope of ever being accepted (like Pat Murphy), MENSA has many special interest groups that offer a change of pace from the normal beer-swilling, bleep-injected conversation found in most sports bars or water cooler banter discussing the previous night's Simpson's episode, the latest video game or wardrobe malfunction on some TV show.
ReplyDeleteEh? No beer at Mensa meetings? Count me out!
ReplyDeleteRumor has it that the snitches have claimed another victim. Watch your back!
ReplyDeleteYes, the Krackwhore had a grudge against that op and had been dropping dime on his name and station ID for the past couple of years on the FRN and Alex Brains blog. But there's no way of knowing whether the FCC acts on unsubstantiated innuendo.
DeleteEven if pressed for specific info or by an FOIA request the FCC would likely withhold any specifics about who filed a complaint. The inconsistencies of the FCC's written "No, no, bad hamster, no biscuit for you!" warnings are probably designed to allow them to skirt FOIA requests.
Personally we find the FCC's Notices of Unwelcomed Eavesdropping to be unusually inconsistent for a federal regulatory agency. We suspect they are faking their "complaints" and simply acting on pre-confirmed information based on triangulations, browsing station logs for targeted ops and wild ass guesses.
The FCC agent who actually made the bust, claimed to have been in the area on "other business" when the op in question came on the air, and thus fell into his lap. So it would appear that it did not happen as the result of any "stakeout". This is the nightmare scenario for any stations operating in or around larger urban areas: the FCC spends time monitoring legal stations with their DF vehicles, but the frequency range of their spectrum analyzers is very broad. If you come on the air while they are around monitoring local radio traffic, they will literally see the signal and can immediately DF it.
DeleteThe FCC agent also made a reference to their long-range monitoring network, and claimed that it was actively monitoring 6925 kHz, performing long-range DFs on stations operating there, and routinely forwarding the DF information to the appropriate FCC field offices for potential enforcement actions.
So, pirate operators may want to re-evaluate any habitual use of 6925, especially those operating from a fixed QTH (unless you want to deliberately tweak the agency's nose, which is another matter).
Those who have regularly been using 6925 should assume that the agency has been performing long-range DFs on them, and should take a good look at the frequency and predictability of their broadcasts. If portable operations are possible, they should be utilized as much as possible. The FCC has a big problem with moving targets: if they can't predict where you will be broadcasting from, it makes it that much tougher to even begin to plan sending out a DF vehicle to lie in wait.
They like sitting ducks, so they can make easy busts, put out their press releases, and show everyone what big men they are, and try to justify their agency's existence.
Don't be a sitting duck!
I dunno, I always transmitted from remote tx sites and they found me in under forty minutes one Fourth of July weekend.
ReplyDeleteOf course,I did call well known pirate radio authority, Pat Murphy, to give him a heads up before heading out to transmit that morning.
Do you think? Nah,George Zeller says Pat is a swell guy. Oh well.
BTW, has ol' Bunny Boy accused anyone of the Boston Bombing?
Dimwitted Pat has never had an original thought. He now is stealing content from RP, inserting it into his blog.
ReplyDeletePlagiarism is the sincerest form of theft. We graciously accept the Lagomurph's fawning adulation.
DeleteI knew that post would get the lil' feller hoppin'. This is too damned easy.
ReplyDeleteThe comments by "an informed source" certainly gives one pause for thought.
ReplyDeleteBut is the information provided by the FCC agent necessarily accurate and truthful?
Enforcement agents are notorious for lying when it suits their purpose. One valid purpose is protecting the identity of an informant. They also like to leave you with the impression that they will be watching you, even if this is not the case.
Because the FCC says so does not make it necessarily true.
Time will tell, I guess.
Per the operator of RRS he has NO indication or information that would lead him to believe that any op dropped a dim on him. Let's not go there again.
DeleteThere's no doubt the fellow noted in the April NOUO was targeted for trolling on the FRN and Alex Brains blog. Those posts may have been deleted but screencaps are available.
DeleteIdentity spoofing and doxing are common dirty tricks in the U.S. shortwave pirate radio scene, with a long history of examples on the FRN, uselessnet and elsewhere by the Lagomurph under many aliases, and by Krackwhore of Ranting Jambutt Innuendo, who collects butthurt grudges the way some people collect QSLs.
Doesn't necessarily mean the FCC would give any particular credence to accusations such as the Lagomurph's repeated dox dropping of enemies on his WBNY blarg.
It's more likely the FCC would give priority to complaints filed by licensed amateur radio operators, some of whom take this stuff seriously enough to issue "Official Observer Advisory Notices" to accused offenders.
There's also no doubt the FCC browses pirate radio oriented websites for loggings and clues to station identities. Anecdotal information such as music playlists and station IDs logged by DXers can be correlated with the field agent's own notes and DFing info.
"Let's not go there again."
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck are you talking about??? The whole purpose of this blog is to "go there again". Guise can correct me if I'm wrong, but RP exists to counter the pernicious influence of those fools on the FRN, where they were allowed to do their best to destroy the lives of those that they didn't like.
There is indisputable evidence that Mike, kracker, and a few others have conspired to screw over pirates, DXers, and others who have disagreed with them. It is eminently reasonable to assume that someone from that crowd dropped a dime on RRS, and I for, one, will have to be convinced that the facts are otherwise.
Go back to the FRN. Preach to your choir. The people here, though, are not stupid enough to buy your argument.
Moron.
"The whole purpose of this blog is to "go there again". Guise can correct me if I'm wrong, but RP exists to counter the pernicious influence of those fools on the FRN..."
ReplyDeleteThat's #2 on the mission statement.
#1 is "We did it for the lulz."
What's the Lyndon LaRouche of the pirate radio world doing since he declared me dead?
ReplyDeleteOur guess would be he's busily engaged in his usual Rites of Spring: staring at his fridge magnets and bumper stinkers featuring photos of nekkid men in bunny ears, while masturbating furiously on his Grenade with Ostara eggs stuffed up his bunghole.
DeleteI prefer to think of him as the Kim Jong-un of pirate radio. It's easy to confuse his rants with KCNA press releases. The main difference is that KCNA's are more humorous, and contain less gay porn.
DeleteI just skimmed the WBNY blog and it was amusing.. What isn't stolen from another website(s), is unadulterated bat sh*t crazy.
ReplyDelete"Crazy. Toys in the Attic, He is Crazy. Surely gone fishing! They must off taken his marbles away!" (Pink Floyd)
Bunny's theme song:
ReplyDeleteRun rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is down
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
How deep can he dig himself?
Six feet?
DeleteFour is standard.
DeleteI see Commander Bunny has announced he's now on vacation.
ReplyDeleteYes, all that ranting and plagiarizing and doxxing and out-ing and snitching and phone-spoofing and sock-puppeting has to be hard work! He needs to take it easy for a while!
Hell, Commander Bunny has been on a vacation from reality for a LONG time!
ReplyDeleteThe way I hear it, the reason the Commander is taking a break, is due to solar anal burns. That is to say, Murphy has the Sun shining out his ass!
ReplyDelete"Error establishing a database connection"
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing I've seen from Pat's WBNY blog.
Perhaps Wonkette, or one of the other sites that Pat has been lifting content from, put the arm on Ragnar. In any event, it's good to see that blog shut down.
ReplyDeleteNow if we can only get the FCC on his case, or on those who have been relaying WBNY...
"Perhaps Wonkette, or one of the other sites that Pat has been lifting content from, put the arm on Ragnar."
DeletePlausible. It would be easier to wipe the past several months of WBNY blargs than figure out which were plagiarized from Wonkette and HuffPo.
"In any event, it's good to see that blog shut down."
We think you may have misspelled "sad". Whatever shall we do now for our morning laughs?
"Now if we can only get the FCC on his case, or on those who have been relaying WBNY..."
Yew's trollin'.
The FCC can't hear him either.
DeleteAmong old Virginia families, such as the one Mr. Graves hails from, the term, "On vacation" means, "In the looney bin".
ReplyDeletePat's already resurfaced on that other inferior site.
ReplyDeleteBut for now no blog = Victory!
"That other inferior site" is broke again.
ReplyDeleteFrom the FRNA Google site:
ReplyDelete12:30 PMMurphy
I've emailed John "again" as usual. So figure a week to two weeks and it will suddenly be back up. Why he doesn't turn it over to Cos, JTA or me or anyone is beyond comprehension.
- show quoted text -
What's beyond comprehension is the attitude that you have towards Cruzan Pat. John owes you nothing and for someone to act as if he should reveals your true intentions.
You can bet that Cruzan is not being inundated with complaints about the FRN being down; Pat and his butt-buddies have pretty much reamed out the FRN membership, and I doubt that more than a few of them care enough to speak up.
ReplyDeleteCruzan should just let the FRN die a quiet death.
Perhaps the plug has finally been pulled on the FRN, much like Pat's blog.
ReplyDeletePat's stature and level of respect in the pirate radio community has sunk below Lad.
At least Lad paid his cab fares. There's a pedi-cab driver in Hue still waiting to be paid by PFC Graves.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably told that PFC Graves died in Vietnam.
DeleteThe FRN is gone. Cruzan has changed jobs, and wiped the site from the Globe's server. The name has been sold. Commander Butthurt has been reduced to making lame posts on Google Groups. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great day for pirate radio, that's certain.
DeleteI can't imagine the butthurt he's suffering right now. Still, I continue to laugh uproariously.
Does anyone know who the name was sold to?
DeleteThe domain ownership hasn't changed in a WHOIS lookup. Unless and until it does, I'd have to assume that the "sold" part is just a wild rumor.
DeleteWHOIS occasionally lags behind a bit. The transaction appears to have been made in May 2013. This link indicates the frn.net domain is now owned by Windstream NuVox: http://frn.net.hostinforme.com/
DeleteBeyond that, no idea who actually owns the domain or whether John Cruzan is still involved. Murphy's comments on the Gargle Gropes flea radio site indicate he doesn't know either.
That link gives hosting location info, not domain ownership. The FRN domain is still shown as grouped with several Joplin Globe domains on the same host, same as it was a couple years ago.
DeleteIt looks as if they acquired hosting elsewhere, sometime after the Joplin tornado. The first report was more than a year old.
Dang! I had hoped that the rumor that "FRN" was going to become the "Fansome Radio Network" was true. What a shame that it's not going to happen; it would have been the best thing to happen to Pirate Radio in a generation.
ReplyDeleteThe thing to do now is to not give Murphy the attention that he craves. He will fade away; he doesn't have the talent to hold an audience, and, with the FRN gone, he has no way to force himself into the forefront of pirate radio discourse.
ReplyDeleteHis butt-buddy kracker will also fade away, having nothing of any interest to say. Whether the other marginal members of the FRN will try to stay relevant, such as cosmikdebris, is hard to say. I'd guess that they also will be swept into the dustheap of history.
This is a great day for pirate radio.
The old "marginal members" of the FRN can maintain their "relevance" on Usenet. Usenet is still relevant. Sirsly.
DeleteHi, my name is Mike Graves
ReplyDeleteI used to be the admin of the FRN and known for my on air personalities as Commander Bunny & Bill O Rights. At some point, I believed the free radio scene was in jeopardy from hostile individuals trying to expose others and felt it was necessary to take action and put a stop to it. This urge became difficult to control once I got a taste of power and found it easy to charm & manipulate others to cover my back regardless of actions. One thing lead to another and I discovered I really didn't like people at all, including myself, but developed coping mechanisms to enforce double standards and rationalize any means to justify ends, not to mention how happy I was making others miserable.
This past year has been very difficult since I was exposed for my actions using sock puppets, online PI's, smear tactics and ultimately reporting another pirate to the Canadian Authorities to eliminate all those nattering nabobs that were threatening my ego & control over the hobby. It's not fair, I've worked so hard to keep pirate radio all for myself and had no idea most of the hobby would remember all the nasty things I've done over the last decade or so, especially those damning screenshots from the FRN, my WBNY blog and past emails. How can I cover my tracks if I can't hide the evidence?
We have a call on the request line for "Karma Chameleon" by the Dust Bunnies.
Delete@ Mike Graves:
DeleteWhy don't you go in the other room, and ask your eBay seller-- you know, the one that you assured everyone in the pirate radio community that you had "absolutely no connection with" (other than the fact that you lived with her) ?
She might know how you can cover your tracks. For a while.
A liar, a play yard bully, stupid, a Quisling; Mike is an everyman. His accomplishments are beyond enumerating here, as he screwed over everyone that he knew.
ReplyDeleteThe end of the FRN is a slap in his face, as he and his butt-buddies have been forced out. Cruzam has known for a long time about Pat and his anti-Cruzan comments.
Goodbye Murphy. There are not words to say how much that the pirate radio scene is happy to see you go.
To the Bunny Graves (or is it Grave?)
ReplyDelete"So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, goodnight
Just go to Hell with Satan's glad invite!"
So now what?
ReplyDeleteWe talk about Al Fansome behind his back,of course.
DeleteFree Radio North America is apparently NOT what's next. cosmik posted the very first log there today since the FRN went down, so it doesn't seem like a hotbed of activity.
ReplyDeleteI heard Al Fansome is going to buy the WYFR transmitter site, and run Radio Bob programming 24/7.
ReplyDeleteThe Fansome fortune is vast and far reaching. He recently bought a two story triple-wide to replace his old digs. He even bought an air-conditioned Dogloo for Capt. Ron.
ReplyDelete(Well, just the air conditioner. You get a free Dogloo for every six trailers you buy.)
That Al, he's a sport.
I'm sure you're aware of the recent epidemic of Yahoo email account hacks. Well, guess who I just got a spam email from! Yep, the Commander is the latest victim. I was so excited to see his name in the "From:" field, and then so cruelly disappointed to find that it was not actually sent by him. Oh well...
ReplyDeletethats terrible but it raises a interresting hyperthetical question......::
DeleteWhat if and this is purely theretical now what if a person WANTED to still get some of those qsl cards with the naked men having sex with men in bunny costumes I mean just for curious sake....where could somebody send there adress so jerry micheal bunny could send more them qsls????? I mean just wondering. Because thats so gross!!!! HE IS A SICK AND PREVERTED MAN!! I mean but if you know email me at furrrydot com!!!
@Anon:
DeleteYou don't expect 'Commander' to subject himself to the strenuous task of sending you an email while he's "on vacation", do you?!
@Krackersmom:
You might try querying this site. They might know where you can contact him.
Will someone please help the effin slohbs at the FRNA find their way to the FRC so they can get the latest copy of the FRW!
ReplyDeleteSorry, they're on FMLA.
DeleteI'd heard Jerry had picked up a case of the Revitiligo, Mr. Helper. The same thing happened to his Uncle Ruckus back in '42.
ReplyDeleteHe does look good in that shade of dark brown,though.
Good news for all you ex-FRNers! HFU has decided to allow a merger with the FRN, giving you all a place to call home again. Read about it at http://www.radioworld.com/article/pirate-radio-thrives-in-internet-age/220315
ReplyDeleteThat was a short-lived merger!
ReplyDeleteWell, like Poet said 'would be like "merging" with a nest of vipers'
ReplyDeleteYou don't merge with vipers, you step on the gas and run them over.
ReplyDeleteLooks like that "New FRN' needs to tighten up their registration, so that any Tom, Dick or Harry can't walk right in and speak the truth, like this guy did:
ReplyDelete"Here's an idea. Instead of "aggregating" log sources from other boards (i.e. ripping them off) why not come up with a compelling reason for people to come to this site to post logs?
To us looking in from afar, this is the same clubhouse for the same mentally unstable stalker who ultimately rendered the original FRN a dysfunctional non-entity. He's here with bells on and thus the same fate is unavoidable for this site. The paranoia sets in, the registrations become a special-double-secret impossible process, the rants and sock puppetry become the only content, the site dies.
Cosmik, you don't seem like a bad guy. But this is a dead end street. Wasting your time keeping certain individuals from turning on you is ultimately a futile effort, as almost everyone has found out. The hobby is too small and the ship has sailed on all of this. Cruzan bailed for a reason."
Ouch.
And Amen.
And the sock-puppet games begin!
ReplyDeleteGo back to your island monkey!
ReplyDeleteTey thru me out, teh fukwads. Now I maik um all famouse!
ReplyDeleteAn old dog can't unlearn his tricks.
ReplyDeleteIt's all innuendo and lies until I say so, damn it!
ReplyDeleteJust what exactly is "butthurt", and how do I get it?
ReplyDelete"St. John of Belfast". LMAO!!!
ReplyDeleteLaugh while you can, apostate. I know who you guys are. Just because I look like a garden gnome, don't think you can walk over me
ReplyDeleteA.J., fetch the step ladder and my croquet mallet. I've got some heretics to deal with.
Nobody asked me, but...
ReplyDeleteIMHO: John T. Arthur would be hilarious if he wasn't so pathetic. In essence, JTA is immature because he began with an erroneous conclusion and then tried to fill in the blanks, which simply doesn't work. I've read JTA a few times, but the inuendo and unsupported accusations became too much, and there's no factual basis to his arguements, so I don't bother anymore. JTA's a great exercise in illogical thinking, leaping to conclusions, and circular reasoning.
The main problem with "Commander Bunny" is that when a person can post anonymously they can say anything, true or not, and there's no accountability. If "Commander Bunny" could post truth, he could have a good thing going. Unfortunately, he appears to have an axe to grind and the truth doesn't enter into it. Of course, if you think about it, if one posts the truth one doesn't have to hide behind ones' keyboard and use a false name.
I see what you did there.
DeleteThefrn.net is almost as good a parody of the FRN as this blog is.
We all know, that Commander Murphy Graves is one of the biggest hypocrites operating in the Free Radio world. He is the living example of "Do as I say, not as I do".
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons Commander Murphy Graves hates this blog is, that it pulled back the curtain and exposed the hands inside the sock puppet heads. (With apologies to TMBG)
And we all know how bunnies feel about being caught in a trap, especially of one's own making.
Interesting for all of JTA's attempts to discredit the evidence against his friend Mike, he has never touched the topic of when Mike's WBNY blog attempted to frame Artie Bigley for the TCS bust.
ReplyDeleteI guess when someone is too stupid to manufacture a fake email and then tries to edit the same email afterwards with screen caps proving otherwise you're left with nothing, but false beliefs.
Obviously there's no possible way for him to spin that topic, so he pretends it never happened.
DeleteWhat ever happened??
Delete"What ever happened??"
DeleteThat incident "Karma" described was the subject of this harelarious blarg from two years ago: MYXOMATOSIS MADNESS ALERT: Bunny Frames DXer
My apologies, Mr. Faux. The "What ever happened?" comment was meant as a typical response given by the Bunny apologists to the misdeeds of their Commander, not as a statement of fact. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but thanks for posting a link to the back story.
Delete'Commander Bunny'?
ReplyDeleteWho is he?
With all due respect, I think the question is "Who was He?".
DeleteJerry Micheal Graves = Pat Murphy = Bill O. Rights = Commander Bunny.
ReplyDeleteA single FCC snitch with a variety of different names.
THE FACTS CAN NOW BE TOLD!
ReplyDeleteCommander Bunny's "Vacation" was actually the time allotted for a scheduled surgery and recovery: to remove the large stick from his ass!
The operation was unsuccessful.
I see the Commander posted this quote from Socrates:
ReplyDelete"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil."
The Commander doesn't appreciate the irony of posting this quote, while following said post with his typical bile-filled, disconnected from reality, business as usual, "do as I say, not as I do" hate mongering. What a friggin' putz!
Actually, the reason the stick could not be removed from his ass is because his head was in the way!
ReplyDeleteGuise,
ReplyDeleteWrite a little something (satire or not) about pirate radio that doesn't relate to CB. It's over.
Other ops and DX'ers might get a kick out being part of the blog. The NA pirate scene is pretty busy lately and RP can be a fun part of it.
You will not have the same amount of juicy material, but what the hell.
Leave Pat Murphy Alone!
ReplyDeleteAnyone wanna smell my foam finger? Smells like cecotropes.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who's been involved in the hobby for the last decade knows what transpired and thus why Pat ultimately lost the pirate war. As long as individuals support him, choose to ignore the facts & turn a blind eye, there will be a need to keep the reality of the past shoved in their faces.
ReplyDeletethefrn represents everything that's still fucked up with the hobby as long as jta & others continue to pretend nothing wrong ever happened. Maybe this is why the most important and honest post by xray radio was deleted recently.
The truth hurts.
What was the post about?
DeleteMy humble apologies to RP readers, the post is still there.
DeleteSure, but is the post still on *the* FRN, the "the FRN" or the "the the THE FRN" dot nuts?
DeleteAs with the Murph Nerf's multiple personalities, there seem to be many FRNs, some real, most imaginary.
And we're well into YEAR THREE of the Pat Murphy Deathbed Watch.....
ReplyDeleteThree? He's been claiming he has terminal cancer since at least 2005. Trots it out when he needs to cover his ass, forgets about it when he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteThey ought to clone the man's immune cells. He's a walking, talking medical miracle.
Cue Fred Sanford "This is the big one!"
DeleteHe's a walking, talking, Nazi medical experiment on vacation.
DeleteWhere am I? How did I get in here? Let me out!
ReplyDeleteThe govt. shutdown has me worried. Murphy depends on those checks from the FCC. Now there's no one to inform to and no extra money for Pat.
ReplyDeleteI hope he likes Alpo.
Time to get some more t-shirts and bumper stickers on eBay.
DeleteLooks like Murphy's Midget is still feeling the sting from being on the losing end of the Pirate War when jamming other pirates is the only card you can play.
ReplyDeleteSorry Kracker your impact on the hobby has been reduced to the steaming pile that you are plus nobody really notices someone that only comes up to there knees anyway.
Also notice Bunny and Kracker are on the air, when the F.C.C. is shut down. Talk about courage! Put 'em up! Put 'em up!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful to see all the HFU leaders logging the Bunny stations. Guess it's been too boring, so send Bunny another bunch of newbs so he can rat them out to the FCC.
ReplyDeleteThe cycle continues. Cya.
That's a stretch. Just because listeners ask for QSL's doesn't mean they will be ops.
DeleteHFU leaders and members are logging all pirates. As "newbs" get further into the hobby, they will learn which end of the pool is safe to swim in.
Agreed. If someone wants to log any of bunny's stations then more power to them. The HFU is not for censoring like the FRN was. LC's Everybody Knows pretty much sums it up.
Delete"As "newbs" get further into the hobby, they will learn which end of the pool is safe to swim in."
DeleteBy then it is too late. Their names and addresses are already in Bunny's sticky paws.
"The HFU is not for censoring like the FRN was."
I was waiting for someone to bring up "censorship" or "free speech". The only proper consideration for a leader in a pirate community is the protection of broadcasters. If you want to put other beliefs ahead of this responsibility then I am sorry, but you get no respect from me.
If you don't like censoring bunny logs, how about adding a warning that listeners should not report to these station unless they use a relative/friend's address at least 500 miles from their home (preferably one they don;t really like)?
And don't assume that "everyone knows" because they see it in chat. Many people use only HFU, and avoid chat, for various reasons. There is nothing recent on HFU to warn these people.
In fact, certain people on HFU seem to prefer that newbies remain in ignorance about Pat Bunny and his dark deeds, rather than it be mentioned there; so much so that certain comments have disappeared (only days ago) or threads get locked or people get asked not to post about it, etc. They would prefer that others be put at risk, rather than have their happy little world disturbed by information about the dark deeds of Pat Murphy and friends.
DeleteSo don't give me this "the HFU is not for censoring" bullshit. It has been happening; just not to loggings.
If true, then this is the perfect time to abandon the HFU. She's still fully afloat, the lights are blazing and the party is in full swing. And few people are aware of the gaping hole that has appeared under the waterline, destined to sink her as surely as the frn.
DeleteAll is fine now, but when those "newbs" start getting "visits", all hell is going to break lose.
"By then it is too late". So What? Again, a listener requesting a QSL isn't an op. If they want to be an op, they're smart enough to separate the two. What's he going to do if he can't sic the FCC on you? Send you a set of encylopedias? How dastardly.
DeleteC'mon guy(s). The problem that was Bunny and the FRN was dealt with here years ago. It's over. You're worried about a guy in his basement trying to solder while wearing a sweaty costume.
Locked threads? Name them. Be specific. You're talking out your ass. The HFU is thriving because it's a decent website run by fair people.
As soon as someone insinuates that all is "not perfection" on the HFU, you start hauling out insults. So how is that different from the FRN of old?!
DeleteCease fire, cease fire! Aren't we all here for the same cause?
DeleteIs the HFU perfect? No, but then which site is? At least it doesn't feel abusive like the old FRN right?
For some folks this is just a hobby and being involved in fighting bunny's bs is not worth the investment, right or wrong. Those who still want to hold his paws to the fire should do so as he's earned it and then some. Keep in mind not everyone is as passionate about the fight as others, but that's what this site provides an outlet for.
Someone earlier in the thread mentioned RP doing some non bunny related satire or parody on other topics in good humor. This would be a good way to introduce new readers to the lighter side of the equation and would allow them to search the archives if they want to know the history of what transpired.
"a listener requesting a QSL isn't an op. If they want to be an op, they're smart enough to separate the two"
DeleteHerein lies the heart of the problem. You are assuming that everyone adopts proper security, probably based on your own experience. That is naive. Even in the bad old days there were occasionally people who were so poorly informed that they idiotically confided too much info to the wrong people. A scroll back through RP or though Kracker's blog will confirm this as fact.
To assume that this is not happening today, in this "happy-go-lucky, the FCC is dead, so lets all play" free-for-all, is simply ludicrous.
"For some folks this is just a hobby and being involved in fighting bunny's bs is not worth the investment, right or wrong."
I have no wish to prolong any fight. But some kind of warning to newbs to be careful should be part of the package. Perhaps a general, non-specific warning tagged to the top of logs regarding security issues for those who may be considering txing. This could address the dangers of sharing info, as well as related issues as the most secure email services, how to arrange alternate HFU identities, etc. Who knows, maybe it would encourage a person of two to take the plunge if they were confident they were doing it securely.
Perhaps I'm being a tad anal-retentive, but I do not want to see even one more op go down because of the anyone in this hobby. There is enough risk from the government that we cannot control. This we can.
"My favourite part of the song was where the rabbit bit its own head off. Unfortunately, this did lead to a small amount of regret on my behalf that the only person throwing the transmitter into the rabbit's bathtub when that particular crescendo was reached was the rabbit himself; we had already sold the television rights for the event to C-SPAN, and were well underway building the subsequent merchandising empire by raffling the rights to initiate splashdown to pirate radio broadcasters."

You have the newbs send snail mail qsl requests to JTA who sends it on to Pat. JTA is the key. Pat is JTA's patsy.
ReplyDeleteJTA reads everything that comes or goes through that box. He can pick and choose what info to use.
Give John credit. He's the brains of the outfit, Pat is his instrument. Who do you think made the choice to boot Kracker from the Bowling League when things got hot? It wasn't Pat or Larry.
Nice try Murphburger. I see you learned the art of "deflection" during your time in politics. But your implementation would embarrass a PolSci 101 student. And your choice of target shows your true colors.
DeleteRead the history of NASWA on Ragnar's site. Make a note of who was in the middle of every dust-up in that organization for twenty five years. It wasn't Murphy.
DeletePat is a snitch, that's been proven, but he's not the only rat.
Both JTA & Pat have done their share to manipulate and poison the hobby regardless of which one is doing what.
DeleteDid noticed that Kracker recently removed his anti cosmikdebris post from his blog though.
I bet the phone lines were burning up between Newport News and 1-800-FCC.GOV this morning.
ReplyDelete"WBNY Heard in Spain and Turkey"
ReplyDeleteI guess he sent them a cassette.
Maybe he meant "Spam and Turkey"? Those cans will resonate.
ReplyDeleteSo we are waiting for CB's next move?
ReplyDeleteSo he's still breathing? Hard to tell from this distance.
ReplyDeleteHow the once-mighty has fallen.
Q: I have noticed elsewhere (not on this site) certain listeners posting "logs" hours after the alleged reception, usually stating that it was a "SDR catch". What this translates to is that the listener did not actually hear the station; their receiver did.
ReplyDeleteA: I thought you didn't visit those 'other' sites John?
Q: Of what value is a hours-late report - other than to note that somebody was on when nobody was listening?
A: I checked the Official Pirate Radio Loggings Rule Book and as long as the log doesn't exceed its freshness date it's still good. I think the limit is around 24 to 48 hours for 2013, but of course it was 2 to 3 months back in 1996 so it all depends on your age, perspective and motive.
Q: And should an Operator verify such "reports"? I know that, if I was running a station, I would not QSL those SDR catches.
A: This is true. Not only would you not recognize a process you no longer have control over, but when mail drops were in there prime you enjoyed violating the trust and confidentiality that both Ops and listeners entrusted you with.
Q: But that's just me. What do *you* think? I'd be interested in your thoughts...
A: It's ok John, the hobby has left you behind and you're alone and looking for some angle to bitch about. Get over it.
I get a kick out of the number of times Pat and JTA remind us that their clearly written opinion is "just my opinion". As if the addition of this phrase will somehow make their opinion less insulting for the reader.
ReplyDeleteI think it's part of ham radio verbiage that has crept into their writing; it's like how hams say "the name here is" when announcing their name instead of their callsign.
DeleteWhat I don't get is why the Lagomurph continues to trot out the same old, tired, repetitive 'Commander Bunny for President' crap. I'm referring to what may or may not have been a (poorly encoded) WBNY broadcast from a couple of weeks ago; details here.
ReplyDeleteSeriously: get some new material, Pat. It hasn't been clever or amusing for years now, though it does do a great job of making every other station out there that much better by comparison.
Commander Bunny is the new Harold Stassen.
DeleteI am willing to bet, that we will not hear from Commander Bunny the rest of the year. He's probably pulled his Santa Claus costume out of mothballs and hanging around the shopping malls inviting little boys to sit on his lap!
ReplyDeleteStay Away from the NAMBLA Santa!
DeleteOhhhh, ya better watch out!
DeleteYa better not cry!
When he stuffs the sock in your mouth,
you better not die!
NAMBLA CLAUS is coming to town!
Over all, I think I'd rather have coal in my stocking!
DeleteLooks like Pat is back in usual form posting logs of his own station and bitching about losing the pirate war on the Blowing League's site.
ReplyDeleteI lol'd: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.radio.shortwave/RIWE1Fh9p1k
ReplyDeleteJTA really thought those replies through before posting...
I guess you can't fix JTA with duct tape... what a maroon.
ReplyDeleteBut you know, he's just following the Bunny 'party line'--
that everything critical of Bunny Murphy is actually written by me and me alone, including everything on this blog... as if there couldn't possibly be anyone else in the entire world who has a poor opinion of the party in question. I guess he's moved now, to live near his friend Pat in The State of Denial.
Thanks to whomever posted the link, I was totally unaware of that exchange.
As the State of Denial., I would not welcome Pat " Commander Rat Fink" Murphy or his pet stooge, John T. May I Kiss the Bunny Butt More?" Arthur. Besides, maybe, JTA would probably welcome being duct taped by the Commander (especially since Commander Rat Fink has so much free time on his hands with the end of the Christmas season and his mall Santa gig being over.)
ReplyDeleteThere's a stooge in that relationship, but you've got the pecking order backwards.
ReplyDeleteHeh. You said 'pecking order'. LOL!
DeleteThey probably take turns.
ReplyDeleteYou mean which one wears the school boy uniform and which one wears the bunny mask?
DeleteNah, which one is 'on top'.
DeleteSo they both want to be Curly, but all they are is couple of Moe's?
ReplyDeleteSame sex marriage is legal in New York, isn't it? Why doesn't John marry Jerry and make a honest Bunny of him? They could have the reception at the home of fine dining in Belfast, the Firestick's Lounge.
You should of seen the two of them playing croquet, spooning each other whilst demonstrating how to swing the mallet (so to speak).
ReplyDeleteI think maybe the time for this blog has passed. The FRN folk have been minding their own business, and, in retrospect, the whole premise for the "Pirate Wars" was just plain silly and petty. Now that everyone respects each other, and we are all much more mature, it's time to reconcile.
ReplyDeleteMr. Moderator, tear down this blog!
"...in retrospect, the whole premise for the "Pirate Wars" was just plain silly and petty"
DeleteI agree, that when Pat Murphy aka Commander Bunny began his vendetta against NRS just because he didn't want a competing relay service in North America, which is really what set this whole thing in motion, or when he established a mob mentality using sockpuppets on the FRN, it was certainly 'silly and petty'. To whatever else you might be referring, I can only speculate.
"The FRN folk have been minding their own business.... Now that everyone respects each other, and we are all much more mature,..."
I think you're over-generalizing here, but I'm also a little confused, maybe you can help me out. Is this an example of 'minding their own business' or is that 'much more mature now'?
And is this an example of 'respect', or of being 'just plain silly and petty'? (But glad to know JTA's been hearing TCS, and just how much it bothers him!) Some of us somewhere may be 'much more mature now', but some of us are just older.
"... it's time to reconcile."
Ya think me and Pat and JTA are going to join hands and go skipping through the daffodils singing "tra-la-la-la-la"? When hell freezes over! That's probably the one thing upon which the three of us would agree.
"Mr. Moderator, tear down this blog!"
I'm sure there's little that Pat and JTA et al would like better-- reason enough not to do it, in my opinion. But if we need more, well, this is one of the only sites that documents the abuses committed against the pirate radio community by Pat Murphy. along with the TCS blog, and the information should remain published to protect newbies from falling into his evil orbit--- and to give the rest of us a good laugh at the same time! 'Tear it down'? Far from it! This site should be mirrored on wordpress.org and a few other sites to ensure its perpetuity!
Here's a deal for you: after Commander Pat undoes all the damage he's done over the years to pirate operators, listeners, and the community-at-large, I would consent to this blog disappearing (although it isn't up to me, of course).
I'm dying to see how he's going to get me back my FCC cherry.
>"Mr. Moderator, tear down this blog!"
DeleteSpoken like a true cheese eating surrender monkey. We are wascally wabbit hunting twolls.
And in the words ... make that word ... of General Anthony C. McAuliffe in reply to another ill-advised surrender suggestion: "Nuts."
The pirate operators and listeners who had their identity revealed by Murphy and his minions would strongly disagree. Newcomers to the hobby need to be aware of their vile behavior.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, it is my opinion that Carthage must be destroyed.
Sure got that right!
DeleteBut that's a hell of an association to make about Carthage...
didn't Carthage suffer enough already? :D
You mean I ordered all of this salt for nothing?
DeleteFriends, Pirates, countrymen, lend me your ears;
ReplyDeleteI come to bury Murphy, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Murphy.
Is it true Kracker, Ragnar, and JTA are writing a series of tell-all articles for the NASWA newsletter titled; "We Were Commander Bunny's Love Slaves."?
ReplyDeleteNo. Only JTA is.
DeleteDid JTA or Commander Bunny see their shadows yesterday? And if so, what does it mean?
ReplyDeleteIt means six more weeks of butthurt.
DeleteAnd by 'six more weeks' I mean 'a lifetime'.
Hmmmm. And if I'm not mistaken, Kracker's birthday is today, a mere two days after Punxsutawney Rodent day.
DeleteLooks like Pat's lost some weight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISBeBuVKXL0
ReplyDeleteThat's disturbing on a whole lot of levels.
ReplyDeleteKracker does *not* have erectile dysfunction
ReplyDeleteNow, what does someone want to go and wake the little feller up for?
LOL
Guise Faux, we need another post on something.
ReplyDeleteAnything.
Happy Easter, by the way.
No update here in a year! Did the rabbit die?
ReplyDeleteDie? You are joking, right? Or perhaps you haven't realized that Bunny and his supporters won the war?
ReplyDeleteBunny/Murphy's support goes far deeper than the few morons running the vines. For example, the members of the NAPHOF board who actually inducted the furball this year. Or the same ones who have turned HFU into a "bunny praise only" site. And the same bunch who actually bullied Poet into apologizing for "prolonging" the war. And let's not forget bunny's new relay station with more power and better audio.
These people know what bunny did, and they still choose to support him. Obviously, the US community will never be safe until they all die.
Makes me very happy that I walked away from this bunch of cowards and traitors months ago.
Nice try Mike, but the nurse is waiting for you to drink your Ensure already.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's pretty far off-base. That's no bunny supporter.
DeleteMike??? I see you have adopted the furball's habit of throwing shit and hoping it sticks. How adorable. I bet your Special Ed teachers thought you were the cutest thing.
ReplyDeleteI can assure you that I will still be around, and still spreading the truth, long after you are tits up.
No need to get all spun up Mr. Graves, let the butthurt flow right on through.
ReplyDeleteDon't ever use that word again.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the Commander is already hitting the campaign trail.
DeleteJust in case you weren't bored enough with it already the first hundred times.
DeleteRecent headline: "STUDY: Rats are capable of feeling regret...". Talk about junk science.
ReplyDeleteYes. we all know Commander Bunny has no regrets.
DeleteLooks like Cruzan renewed the DNS registration for frn.net, so the bozo brigade is stuck with thefrn.net for at least another year.
ReplyDeleteIn a way, it's too bad; it would have been funny if one of the good guys had grabbed frn.net. Pointing it at hfunderground.com would have been the ultimate irony.
Who is "Babs"?
ReplyDeleteHis personal sockpuppet ?
DeleteSo did we win the pirate war?
ReplyDeleteDon't see any of the sockpuppet bullying going on anymore, do you? No more drunken threats from Kracker either.
DeleteWhether or not you believe in the snitching aspect, this change alone says we did.
Rabbit is dish best served cold.
