Who remembers - or can link - that crazy post someone made about Vid when he showed up at their house? If I remember correctly, he showed up with some other guy and things got really weird.
Anyone?

Quoted from Tranquilize:Oh, on second look, I don't have access to this sub forum. Do I need to know a secret handshake?
Says the same thing for me... not sure why
Quoted from russdx:did the bullet proof best ever get explained?
The mystery/mystique about this guy is hilarious. It's great for the hobby.
He definitely helped me out, through PM, at least twice. Was thoughtful and detailed in the msgs we exchanged. LTG has done the same (and when I was green, he extended an offer of generosity that I'll never forget). These guys are pure gold.
Quoted from Mudflaps:Are you sure? Unless the choke-out thread was an elaborate hoax by multiple people, I thought it was legit.
His response certainly reads legit
Quoted from TigerLaw:Honestly guys, I’m really a little taken aback so many of you thought that thread and the response thread were legit. Had we realized how many believed that story we would have been a bit more clear that it was meant to be humorous by those guys.
Vid gave a realistic and serious response to the post which anchored it for some a bit I suppose but that entire incident did not really happen.
How confident are you in this? Because I’ve heard differently - but with your confidence, I can’t tell if the charade is being perpetuated... or if you/I have some bad information.
Unless you know both of these guys - and are 100% sure - I think there might be a chance that your assumption is wrong.
But, I don’t know the parties either... so what do I know outside of information that can be exchanged on an Internet forum
Quoted from arcademojo:So that really did happen??
But why would anyone file a police report over an obvious miss understanding is beyond me.
Who ever said it’s a misunderstanding?
Quoted from Travish:He was there but you don't know what he looks like?
I think he's just looking to verify we're talking about the same person...
Quoted from Tommy-dog:The funny thing is that a lot of us have seen Vid. He was been to a lot of pinball shows like Expo, Kalamazoo, the Ohio show, etc. I know exactly what he looks like and his real name.
I am start to question Cichlid's story now. If he already knows what he looks like, finding a picture of him is actually easy. Just look at prior pinball shows. I did find a picture of Vid but my gut said that I should not be helping this Cichlid person. Something just is not right.
Does he look like this?
Quoted from cichlid:He is big, old and leathery like he was in a fire or he is a reptile.
I was told by two people that at Pinball Expo, he had a giant full beard and mustache and had dyed all his hair red-brown instead of white.
Quoted from BoJo:Such a shame the MJ discussion would be the reason he left. Not surprised because Pinside has chased away many of it's own members and it's normally due to non pinball related discussions when everyone thinks their opinions are facts.
It's been a real bummer to see some of the great collectors with knowledge leave. There's a handful of knuckleheads that have literally annoyed the forum right out of them... like you said, it's not surprising.
Quoted from BoJo:The knowledge that has left is what really is disappointing. Back in the RGP days if you had a technical problem you would get so much help and that is what kept me in the hobby. On Pinside when there is a technical post you normally see crickets in the response. However make a thread comparing the newest JJP to Stern or about your ghosting PF and you get 500 posts. Guess since everyone just buys NIB now you don't really need to know how to work on games and end up selling them before something breaks.
Yeah - the tenor has definitely changed. There's a decent repair group on FB (if you're on FB). Is there another forum where the tech guys have gone?

Quoted from janus:It's common knowledge.
Vid has a penis like a Pringles can. When flaccid.
Quoted from Manimal:Vid once ate a whole cake before anyone could tell him there was a stripper in it.
He once walked down Main Street with an erection......there were no survivors!
Aliens once tried to abduct Vid.....when they woke up three hours later, they had no memory of the incident, but their watches had stopped and their asses were extremely sore......
Quoted from janus:Vid is not hung like a horse, horses are hung like Vid...
It’s hilarious how many of you guys are fixated on this guy’s genitalia.
