CB handle

We had a guy that got the handle “Greasy” because he would get filthy doing a pre-trip. I don’t know how, but he would get grease and dirt all over him doing a pre-trip.

Was a guy I used to run with some called “convict” because he spent quite a few years in the big house, never did know what for.

They called me “Sod-Buster” back in the day, because I farm part time.

 

When I was about 13 I loved to shoot skip after school, so I called myself Phantom 309, after the song by Tom Waits.

When I got older, I got a ham ticket and I came across a funny old bird on 14.313 one day. Even though we use call signs, I found out an FCC enforcement guy called this Canadian THE FRUITCAKE, and it stuck. That was his handle from that point on!



He was Canadian and for some reason he used to call on al Qaeda all the time. Very wacky dude. Sometimes he'd perv on little girls, and that was pretty sick too.

Eventually he started picking fights with Americans, and he made a bunch of fake complaints to the FCC and even one to my old boss. He claimed he was shot at, that he had fake anthrax mailed to him, that he was a Destroyer Captain, that he was a lawyer, that he landed his Cessna on the deck of a US Aircraft Carrier. All kinds of crazy crap. Reminds me of a white Jessie Smollett. Nuts!

The only complaint against an American that ever (almost) stuck, got thrown out of court. Actually, it never made it into court. The ham who was falsely accused is pretty well off, with a good insurance policy, so he just paid to settle the case without liability (meaning he was NOT FOUND RESPONSIBLE for any of the accusations). As part of the settlement he agreed to avoid the Fruitcake and his drug-dealer buddy known as the Prozac Kid and/or Baby-Killer on channel 38 LSB because their BS caused the FCC a ton of headaches, as the FCC's ex enforcement lawyer says in the video below.

"A person in Canada.. he's a big problem for Canadians and people in this country... He's threatened to kill half the Canadian government and they still don't care."





Long story short, this American ham was falsely accused and he defeated the FCC and had all of their bogus allegations COMPLETELY dismissed. He was even generous enough that he gave the FCC a pass for breaking many law(s), and in exchange he demanded the same from the Gov.

"To avoid the delay, uncertainty, inconvenience, and expense of protracted litigation of the above claims, and in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations of this Settlement Agreement, the Parties agree and covenant as follows:

This Settlement Agreement is not an admission of liability by the Defendant.

Defendant fully and finally releases the United States, its agencies, officers, agents, employees, and servants, from any claims (including attorney's fees, costs, and expenses of every kind and however denominated) that Defendant has asserted, could have asserted, or may assert in the future against the United States, its agencies, officers, agents, employees, and servants, related to the Covered Conduct and the United States' investigation and prosecution thereof.

The United States releases the Defendant from any civil or administrative monetary claim the United States has for the Covered Conduct under Title 47, United States Code, Section 333, and Title 47, Code of Federal Regulation, Sections 97.119(a) and 97.113(b), or any common law theories.

This Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of the Parties only.

Each Party shall bear its own legal and other costs incurred in connection with this matter, including the preparation and performance of this Agreement.

Each party and signatory to this Agreement represents that it freely and voluntarily enters into this Agreement without any degree of duress or compulsion."

So that was that. Of course he would have won the case, if he'd stuck it out, but it would have cost another $30,000 and taken about a year. His insurance policy settled the case (happens in 90% of all court cases) for 7 grand, and for some reason I haven't heard the Fruitcake ever since. The FCC tried to say he paid a "penalty" but that was total, half-arsed, face-saving, BS, because when the defendant has zero liability for the allegations, a settlement is only about compromise, saving time, and saving money.

Right after the FCC published its BS story about a penalty, they were STONE COLD BUSTED by every tech media outlet in the country for lying to Congress and the American people. Apparently they lie all the time. Too bad the DoJ didn't pursue the felonies involved in that case!

FCC lied to Congress about made-up DDoS attack, investigation found

Here's the report that showed the FCC lied about being hacked and then lied about lying

Anyhow, you only pay a penalty if the FCC wins their case, and they proved NOTHING in this case. And it was TOSSED before it ever saw a courtroom. Settling's basically a business decision, like a divorce settlement. You might not like sharing the kids and the dog, but it's all about compromise. Been there, done that! Seems a lot of us have been down that road.

USA v. Brian Crow (K3VR)

Filed & Entered: 06/06/2018
Status Conference - Case Closed

Filed & Entered: 07/09/2018
Order: Case Dismissed with Prejudice

ORDER directing that upon consideration of the Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice, this action is hereby dismissed with prejudice, each party to bear their own costs.

Signed by Magistrate Judge Maureen P. Kelly on 7/9/18.
This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
(Kelly, Maureen)

-----------------------------

Notes:

*There are two ways a lawsuit can be dismissed: with or without prejudice. A lawsuit that is dismissed with prejudice means the plaintiff (FCC) is not allowed to bring another lawsuit concerning the same issue in the future. Once the dismissal is final, the trial court no longer has jurisdiction over the case. In effect, the case no longer exists because voluntary dismissal of a suit leaves the situation as though the suit had never been brought. Nothing is adjudicated between parties to a stipulated dismissal and none of the issues is actually litigated. "Stipulation" is a term signifying that the opposing parties to a law suit have come to an agreement about something (such as, a settlement of the case), and "dismissal with prejudice" means the case will be dismissed and cannot be re-filed again. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP Rule 41)

Dismissal with Prejudice


So that's my story about a Canadian ham who acted like a bad CBer, with the handle of FRUITCAKE. Biggest liar I ever met on the air. Oh, and he was apparently a trucker of a sort. He had an ice cream truck parked in his driveway for quite a while. The Bad Humor Man, maybe? Poor kids.

3's & 8's and keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down!

Hope you enjoyed the my Fruitcake recipe!

Detective Tom, the Friendly Four Wheeler

 

I have had the C.B handle "Renegade" for two decades. I got the handle do to my southern outlaw ways in which i conducted myself, and how i can drive the tires off a truck. Is what i was told why i got the handle. I think it was that many years ago as a Southern Texas boy, i went to work for a Yankee area trucking company.

 

You don't want a handle somebody gives you. when I was running belly dump last Summer I took time off from a $62 an hour job to go moose hunting. One of the old-timers Was making fun of me for going hunting, I guess he was trying to insinuate I was a hillbilly or something started calling me Jim Bob. that was all it took for the rest of the summer anytime someone would call me on the big radio or the CB they would say hey Jim Bob.
I guess that's still better than hay dumb ###.
Lol

 

Someone will hang a name on you.

One of the most common for me was earplugs. That did not get too much OTR coverage but worked out well with our paving crew which relied on the radio with the other two having thier own names. One was Snowball. He is no longer with us after his main blood vessals failed and tore near his heart shoveling snow a few years ago. How he got that one was supposidely he found himself too tipsy to drive anything anywhere on the property. So.. he dove under a giant pile of leaves we leave in one corner for the night to stay warm that winter night. Next morning it had snowed really bad making a giant... snowball on him. Kept him insulated and alive. The bossman was raindrop. It can be taken from his body or the constantly eyeing the sky for rain that would interrupt the entire day's work. He's probably working until the day he dies for the joy of it.

There were a few other handles and a whole lot of swearing over my time on the road usually due to my deafness, Hey you dummy! You got your *&^% ears on?! When 100 drivers respond back, he says no no no it's that DEAF SOB in my number three a mile back... well, aint too many of those out there. Ha.

 

Anything can get you a handle.

One guy i was with got named "doordash" because we finished a load and we were behind schedule and he said we cant leave yet I got doordash coming. He eats a lot and is always talking about food so its funny.

Another guy got " anger management " because he always freaks out.

One guy got "glamour shot" because he had a bunch of fancy pics on Facebook.

Another guy got "pumpkin spice". One got "yard gnome"

My current partner I gave him "high beam" because hes always flashing it.

Some guys get defensive and dont like them because of the reason they get it. But they are decent names. I say adopt it.

 

My CB handle was also the nickname I used when I played HS football and what friends called me when in the AF and still call me today.

<<<<Its over there - the 1958!

 

This short girl had a partner for a week and his feet stunk bad. So she hung like 10 tree air freshners all over her truck and sent us pictures.

So she got the name "little tree". LOL

 

I got the name "double shot" because I always drink those small starbucks double shot drinks.
