Failed candidate accepts open troll slot...

Eureka—According to sources, an unnamed former candidate for a municipal post has given up on the ballot box and accepted a position as a troll on local blogs.

"I've banned the word 'lunatic' from my comments section, and that has eliminated most of his posts," said local blogger Heraldo Riviera in a recent interview at the Avalon Restaurant. Fred Mangels of Fred's Humboldt Blog, also deletes the comments as a matter of course. "They're not hard to spot," remarked Fred while taking a break from the popular computer game Aces High. "I just pick 'em off, one-at-a-time."

Hank Sims, of the North Coast Journal doubts the long-term success of the novice troll. "His comments are easily identified by their unique punctuation," Sims remarked. "Not a sign of competence in a troll."

I have a hunch that this ex-candidate and current blog troll is just as goofy in person as he is online

heraldo said...

Rhymes with Hair-y Nose?

hardley ableson said...

Wears a goofy hat?

EkoVox said...

CPR. Hank, Sims said you have, crabs? Which dock, are you located, on? Will you have them, available, for the Blogger's, Picnic?

Andrew Bird said...

Was this troll once the subject of a North Coast Journal cover story?

Leather jacket with silly-looking fringe?

Andrew Bird said...

I cornered said failed municipal candidate at his house after I caught him stealing campaign signs. He started crying for his momma. It was comical while pathetic. And that was before I called the cops. Remember that, JD?

Carol said...

I remember very well the scenario and loud shouting during Mayor LaValley's re-election announcement at Eureka City Hall. Quite the disturbing scene. I was so relieved when the EPD showed-up.

to anyone who has ever wondered in passing what all those anonymous blog commenter cretins actually look like.

Mr, Hairy Nose puts an actual face on them.

heraldo said...

The poster boy for trolls. What a reputation.

robash141 said...

Its true, one could hardly find a person who better exemplifies the blog troll ethos in his public conduct than Mr. HN

Carson Park Ranger said...

So, let's tally it up:

Currently a troll
Losing candidate
Odd punctuation
Rhymes with Hairy Nose
Wears a goofy hat
Subject of NCJ cover story
Leather jacket w/fringe
Made scene at Mayor LaValle event
Steals yard signs

I'm stumped.

Rose said...

You forgot one thing.

heraldo said...

The stalker-like tendencies?

I caught the BIRD MAN of Eureka stealing the man's political signs just off of Broadway . The BIRD MAN supported , LaVallee . Can you imagine supporting a guy like LaVallee who opens up shelters for criminals and low lifes ?

I've left 9:28 up for those of you who may be unacquainted with our anonymous troll.

His other comments I've deleted. In fact all of the deleted comments in recent threads are his.

As Gertrude Stein might say.

A hairy nose is a hairy nose, is a hairy nose, is a hairy nose.

heraldo said...

Allison has a hairy nose, too.

Or maybe a scary pose.

Carson Park Ranger said...

Allison definitely had a trollish odor.

To whom it concerns ;

I'll explain so , you'll understand why i interuppted Mr. Peter LaVallee . I was offered twice for a role in movies but , the Casting Director have always ask me to submit a DVD showing me in " action " to sort of speak of first . I had none so , i thought a good free way to be filmed was by doing the stint i did at his speech .
Surely there would be journalists there . ( sorry for my bad grammer but , your all better at this than me ) It worked . I was filmed without looking into the camera portraying an angry politician . Now when casting directors want to see me i tell them to go online and look up " Mayor meets Droz " . Since then i have appeared as a lead role in a movie we are anticipating due out this fall and as a result of the " Droz v/s LaVallee " video i am auditioning for another movie this month .
I want everyone to know that afterwards and to this day i truly regret doing what i did . It did accomplish what i was looking for......any casting director to can now see me just by going online . You will see i am telling you the truth . Directors are currently seeking distributers for my next film . I sincerely apologize for my abusive behavior to any or all of those who felt harmed by it & again i sincerely regretted it .

Carol said...

I appreciate your apology, troll, but you were rather frighteningly inappropriate.

Anonymous said...

I think that might be the most delusional explanation I've ever heard for anything in my entire life--and I've lived through more than seven years of the George W. Bush administration. Thanks.

Hayduke said...

The Troll explanation above almost seems bogus. Is Troll really Troll? Would the real Troll please stand up? The failure to discuss the vandalism of the LaVallee signs is notable, and needs an entirely different different explanation than 15 minutes of fame as this was done in the dark of night by slinking around with a razor knife like the Boston Slasher.

Hey , c'mom ! It's cold under this bridge . Anybody help me out with some spare change ?

troller said...

Ok Ok , if you can't throw me a few quarters then next time your passing over the bridge throw me some dope along with syringes and I'll say I'm a junkie so i can live in a substance abuse home . Then i can get free housing & stand outside my new home and smoke cigarettes all day .

Rose said...

Why does Droz hate Petch?

Carson Park Ranger said...

The Troll (above) is the only one here who could answer that question.

troll said...

Look up , Jerry Droz ( name only ) and you will see why . Mr. Troll never said anything bad about his house . In fact , Mr .Troll complimented it saying it should not need anyone's approval to be on historic registry because it was already historic whereas he calls , Jerry Droz a lunatic . Maybe he's mad because Mr. Troll wanted it cleaned up and painted first but , still that's no reason to start calling him names like lunatic . Mr. Troll is just concerned about blight in our City .

Carson Park Ranger said...

Unfortunately, Droz plus Troll does not equal droll.

Spare change ?

Carson Park Ranger said...

Is this a solicitation for campaign funds?

Troll said...

No , it's for earplugs . The trucks keep rumbling by at night waking me up under this darn bridge .
