My brother told me a story of how former Giants quarterback Phil Simms was very rude to one of his friends at a restaurant. This friend told my brother a long story about how Simms got upset when asked for an autograph for his young son, complained that he was with his family, and told the guy to leave him alone. The friend went to great lengths to to tell my brother how much of a jerk Simms was. I was a big fan of Simms and the Giants grow7ecing up. Well last year on ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning, Mike Greenberg said he stopped to talk with Simms before a Jets game he was attending as a fan with his son, and even though he had to get ready to go on air (he color commentating that game) Simms made time to stop and talk with him and his son. Greenberg made a point to say on air "You know Phil Simms is a real nice guy, a real nice guy." At which point Mike Golic said, "Oh yeah he is a real nice guy, no doubt about it."
Moral of the story? I'm not going to judge someone based on some second hand story from five to ten years ago, that covered like two minutes of their life. Sorry.
Go ahead ban me again.

i was just going to say the same thing. i'm 35 but you didn't give EVERYONE a tip for doing their JOB!! now you tip for coffee, haircuts, hotel servicethis is foreign to me. all my parents ever tipped for was pizza delivery and restaurant service. but now coffee places, food placesall have tip jars. it is &%$#@ ridiculous. i'm sorry you're making minimum wage but we've all been there. you do not deserve a tip unless you're a waiter/waitress who gets $2.14/hour or delivering pizza. so stop already with "cheap cheap". they're not cheap. they said thank you so go the &%$# away.

The overt vileness of the OP for this thread is self-evident and has been challenged appropriately herein. Although I doubt that it will have any impact upon that OP - being such a self-centered individual with obviously severe unresolved anger and hatred issues that the OP would not only take the time to even begin such a thread specific to a man about whom no one in his personal or professional community had an unkind word but to continue his petty little battle here with subsequent posts - I offer the folllowing for consideration:
- From Jerry's IMDB biography page:
"Had been battling prostate cancer for 10 years."
http://www.imdb.com/board/20001583/bio - Jerry's Date of Death:
28 December 2004 - From the OP that began this thread: "
Back in 1995.
I was working at a hotel in Florida."
You do the math as to just about the proximate time that Jerry was dealing with the onset of his Prostate Cancer and ask yourself whether you might have had a few other things "on your mind" as opposed to tipping some obvious half-wit - and I'll just venture a guess here: a half-wit who might well have evidenced the same abberant personality traits in person then as he does now with his posts here.

Ladies and Gents,
In my post, I offered a number of challenges to the OP specific to his nasty and vicious attack on Mr. Orbach and I furt5b4her offered my own characterizations of the OPs rude and boorish behaviour. Apparently, the OP has taken objection to my doing so as cited above in his reply to me.
I now humbly thank the OP for producing even more forthright evidence that my post was accurate beyond even my own wildest expectations. To wit, excerpts from my own post
enumerated
, followed by
excerpts
from this half-wit twits (updated, no less!) answer to me - you be the judge:- The overt vileness of the OP for this thread is self-evident
-Blow it out your
ass
you
beep
-Who the
beep
do you think you are?
-In conclusion you are a
beep beep - Although I doubt that it will have any impact upon that OP - being such a self-centered individual with obviously severe unresolved anger and hatred issues
-Blow it out your ass you beep
-Who the beep do you think you are?
I'm
entitled to my opinion and that is it.
I
work very hard at every job
I
ever had and when you're busting your ass and running around for people in the blazing hot Florida sun then yeah it is nice to be appreciated.
-You don't come on here and play holier than thou with
me
.I
don't have to prove anything to you.
My
posts are nothing but the best.
3. that the OP wo2000uld not only take the time to even begin such a thread specific to a man about whom no one in his personal or professional community had an unkind word but to continue his petty little battle here with subsequent posts.- Please see the entire nykissfaneternal post cited above as yet - another! - post in his petty little battle here against a dead man whose enormous value, talent, and quality are irrefutable and beyond the question of any reasonable man or woman.

- and I'll just venture a guess here: a half-wit who might well have evidenced the same abberant personality traits in person then as he does now with his posts here.
- Please see the entire nykissfaneternal post cited above as ample evidence of the more than aberrant personality traits of the OP.
Anyone now care to venture a guess as to just how vile and hysterical the next response of the OP will be?
Or, dare we hope that the OP finds that last molecule of wisdom and common sense that has been hiding oh so well in the nether regions of his black soul and brings him the realization that with each of his posts he just digs his own selfish hole deeper and deeper in the minds and judgments of the sane, the rational, and the compassionate? I'm not holding my breath.

Ah, Ladies and Gentlemen.
.the gift that just keeps on giving.
Its now accepted that in the first place the OP evidenced an amazing lack of discretion and self-control by even posting such an irreverent and unsupported accusation against this universally beloved and consummate professional, Mr. Orbach.
Its always a given that if you just allow an aberrant individual such as the OP the smallest bit of meaningful and well stated challenge, that individual will always show in full living color the vile and self-centered motivations behind his or her behaviour very quickly. With yet another post, we now have ample evidence, courtesy of the OP, of just how vile and self-centered he or she is.
Moreover, besides this half-wit twits abject inadequacy in expressing him or herself without resorting to the most profane use of language, this half-wit twit has exposed another facet to its personality: a severe feeling of personal and intellectual inadequacy in the face of anyone who expresses themselves with competency exceeding that of a second grade English student who has just recently learned a few of George Carlins Seven Dirty Words. Or one who can do so without the incessant use of CAPITLIZATION and punctuation (!!!!!!!!!!) to present a meaningful upper crust thought (!)
Our OP further lets his poor little kitty out of the bag specific to his own intellectual and self-esteem deficit issues by closing with an attempted slight that employs a not-to-clever juxtaposition of Mr. Houseman and Masterpiece Theatre. (Mr. Houseman, by the way, never had any connection with MT - but lets not confuse the OP with anything that resembles fact. That would be asking too much and certainly not in keeping with the high standards of truth and accuracy that the OP has employed throughout this thread.) Critically, this feeble attempt at closing humor by the OP argues that the OP obviously finds programming that might be more evolved than, say, an installment of that great intellectual, Gene Simmons, program, Family Jewels, is apparently above the critical and intellectual appreciation and abilities of the OP and hence worthy of derision and mocking by the OP. More to pity the OP.
Again, the hole being dug here by the OP just keeps getting deeper and deeper - allowing this community to see just how much value and merit should be given to the OP and his silly and vain claims in this thread.
The question now before us is: just how deep can this hole get before the OP wises up and realizes just what a fool he or she is making of themselves? How many more posts will there be by the OP before it crawls away into night of the the next thread that it will find or start in order to continue its never ending need for compensation in the face of its self-hatred and loathing, intellectual and personal inadequacy and failure, and childish self-centeredness?
Since these kind of idiots usually fail to have even a modicum of self-awareness as to just how many punches they are taking and based upon what we have suffered thus far, I think we could probably make four or five pages here before this is over. Anyone care to wager? -
nykissfaneternal — 18 years ago(October 02, 2007 09:16 AM)
You love to hear yourself talk don't you you pompous windbag? Kindly shut the beep up and take your feeble verbal slings with you. I got stiffed by a man who made $100,000 or more per episode. That is what I focus on. Despite the fact that he had cancer which is tr5b4agic and sad, he was still a dick for not tipping me. Any person in the hospitality business who has a family to feed would feel the same way. So you think I'm wrong for being pissed that a guy with cancer stiffed me? Whatever.

It's not a matter of right or wrong. It's a matter of class, taste, and sensitivity. Areas of life with which you have amply demonstrated that you are woefully unaware and pitifully unskilled.
It's not a matter of your being "stiffed." It's a matter of you making such a consummate fool of yourself here by even beginning such a thread over an issue, which even if it did occur, is petty and self-indulgent on your part, at best. And frankly, your credibility is so non-existent when measured by your behavior in this thread that no one, at all, believes that this "stiffing" even happened.
But, even if Mr. Orbach was a "dick for not tipping (you)," then just what do you think it makes you for taking so much time to ridicule, defame, and slander a man who was so respected and beloved over such a tragically minor and stupid matter? I'd say it places you behind that dick - and we all know what is just in back of a dick, don't we? -
claire21659 — 18 years ago(October 21, 2007 12:32 PM)
Go "Hey Sun Rock" - I'm right behind you on everything you've said.
Mr. Orbach was a great guy who deserves respect, not a guy who deserves all this negativity, illiteracy and childish repose.
I've never read such nonsence as I've read on this site.
As for nykissfaneternal - kiss my ass you great twit. If you feel you need a top up on your wages - get a better job. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would do your job with gratitude and respect2000 for others. You get paid, put up and shut up. -
stevenackerman69 — 16 years ago(March 21, 2010 07:26 PM)
Exactly. I had a friend who knew him very well. One year he couldn't make the anniversary party for Fantasticks and Jerry asked where he was and said, "Tell him I said I was sorry he didn't come." He also complemented my friend's mother. The person is just kidding with us.

stevenackerman69 — 16 years ago(October 09, 2009 11:54 PM)
I don't believe you. Jerry wasn't that sort of person. I am going to tell this story to a friend of mine who knew him and I'll bet he'll call you a liar. As a matter of fact, reading your story again, he did thank you so what do you want? Oh, I know, a tip. Why? You don't make enough dough? I can't understand the whole tipping policy anyway.

mitch329 — 13 years ago(March 06, 2013 02:17 PM)
Did you ever think that your attitude may have been too obvious and that's why you didn't get a tip? Jerry didn't owe you a dime but you still seem to think he did. I did deliveries in NYC for thirty years and got to know him. He treated me like I was his best friend, that is with class, and that's not only because that's the way I treated him, that was the man he was. He was one of the most down to earth people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He was a real person, many of his real qualities came through in the parts he played. L&O was often on location on the west side, he even lived in the neighborhood. It's a shame he isn't with us anymore.
