Guys, slap me around like a jailhouse bitch if I get drunk enough to post to the Barry Mequiar thread over on the other forum. Y'all know who he is, y'all know what he is. But I gotta admit..as hypocritical as it might be, I still buy his products just because they work so well! Sue me. My cars are much more important to me than that stuff.
I don't want to turn the GRM forum into a war zone..stuff here in "Off Topic" gets bad enough sometimes as it is.
I sure was tempted, though..folks were taking about his Marshall Applewhite-style behavior on his TV show...
Ugh. Maybe I'll just take a dose of Rush and go to bed.

Ditto... well, I can help, but I am pretty sure you'd reject it.
Hey, I'm Wiccan, but at least I tried.

I do know who he is... but I am missing that last part. unless you meant a creepy dude who seems like he might either be totally faking any enthusiasm for cars or senile.
Is there a dark mystical connection to religion that I'm missing?

Do you really love the lamp, or are you just saying that because you saw it?

By the OPs misspelling and weird-ish tone, I'd say that FGC either got a little tipsy or a little pissed and posted out of spontaneity. A little Google shows Barry to be a pretty Christian sort of guy, so my guess is that FGC doesn't like that. The rest of the stuff about lamps I don't know about either.
Amber Lamps, bring them!
ps, I have no idea what this thread is about

The lamps thing is from Anchorman
In reply to tuna55:
There are allegations (with associated litigation) that he expects similarly fervent belief from people who want to stay employed at his company. The pertinent case involves his former son-in-law, so it may be true, it be completely spurious, or it may have more to do with baggage than faith or lack thereof. Given that the guy had apparently been there for ten years before getting sacked, I have to expect there was more to it. Google's your friend, I didn't want to link to the reporting on it.
In short, move along, nothing to see here. Serious allegations, but I can't get too wound up without something more than allegations.

Never saw it. If you read the A2 VW thread, you'll see that FGC was a bit tipsy indeed last night, which means he's probably sleeping it off now.

That is the ONE obvious thing in this thread Everything else makes no sense (never thought I'd say that in regards to Steve Carrol).
I had no idea what the point of this thread is. I went back and read the Barry M thread and I still have no idea what this thread is about.

There must have been a tear in the time-space continuum as an explanation to wtf is going on appeared above my post after I posted...

Gotcha. Yup - I looked it up. Like getting accused of rape. Even if acquitted, angry atheists will hate him forever.
