More Tales of the Fantastic

[dwms]

Gee told us all for years that he was living in his
car - driven into the streets by the odious rats and
vermin that deprived him of making an income
as a bridge pro! He told stories about having to get
free bread from the Costa Mesa Senior Center to
live on, and now, he wants us to believe that he
was merely touring around the country playing
bridge in happy-go-lucky fashion.

He says everyone else lies about him. Who is the
liar? You decide.

Flash back to 2008

GerardMC: I travelled around the USA, from
town to town, playing bridge

GerardMC: when you go from one town to another
by car, you end up living in a car.... don't you?

GerardMC: so, in a sense, it is true, I lived in my
car

Kib: ok so for years you were on the road and didn't
stay in any one spot?

GerardMC: right

GerardMC: except when I landed in tombstone,
where I stayed for a solid week

Oops, didn't he forget the 6 months in one spot
while being treated by the Starbuck's doctor?

And he swears to God that every word he says
is true.

By the way, he claimed that he was homeless
for 5 years, but his cross country trip took place
over just a couple of weeks when he was going
to a Nationals and paid that fateful visit to the
ACBL headquarters in Memphis in 2005.

If The Gerard were to tell you that the Sun comes up in the East you
would want to consult the Hubble telescope, because virtually ever
syllable that passes his lips is a lie.

The Nationals were at Pittsburgh and the main reason The Gerard went
there was to win a National event with his partner du jour ViviK of
OK Bridge. As I remember, they had back to back 33% games after which
The Gerard took little time to throw Vivi under the bus, claiming she
didn't have a grasp of the game. (He had about 400 points then...she
had over 12,000) He next picked a partner up for a Swiss Teams event
and they placed 5th in Flight C.

He then decided to flee from the scene of the crime and wandered
around the East Coast where he went online and announced he was going
to commit suicide. Kontiki of OK Bridge called the authorities in
West Virginia or Virginia and had them pick The Gerard up for
observation (The Gerard was in little danger...the only thing worse
than his bridge technique is his success with suicide) She was
rewarded for helping The Gerard by him having her barred from Bridge
Base.

After his tune up in the looney bin he bee-lined for Memphis where he
met Rick Beyes of the ACBL, who while he never was told of The
Gerard's many European bridge tournament conquests, decided to award
The Gerard with 3,000 master points because he liked the cut of his
jib. These master points would later be revoked after dozens of
emails poured into Mr Beyes office questioning his sanity in awarding
these points.

I know he didn't spend a week in Tombstone since he played bridge in
Scottsdale a day or so after reportedly arriving in Tombstone. I know
this because the boyfriend of the club manager of the ABC Bridge
Center in Scottsdale played with him. He told me that they won but
that with the exception of when he was in the restroom he never knew
what The Gerard was holding in his hand. Or perhaps The Gerard
traveled 368 miles back and forth to Scottsdale because he heard Joy
made great coffee.

Now to the current crock of kim chi. If he were going around the
country playing bridge was it in Moose Lodges or with the Odd
Fellows? His master point total hasn't increased very much during
those 5 years if so.

To new Gerard watchers...when Gerard says something it's buyer beware.
