You wonder why I don't post more? Carry on with your great noble thoughts.

His parents informed him of his "death" upon his return to Ohio in about 2005, he said

If that's true, that was 7 or 8 years after the 3 year grace period to protest being fraudulently declared dead. Sure, he didn't do anything about it for another 8 years, but even if he acted immediately after hearing the news, he would have been out of luck.

Maybe he should get some ID in the name of Mark Twain. The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

Jim,

We're just having a little fun here at his expense. I certainly wouldn't advocate that his wife kill him, or that he should fake being an illegal alien. I'm not sure why you're upset.

It's a serious situation. No laughing matter. Especially those jalapenos.

Heck, he'd get more rights than the rest of us.

I speak Spanish and French, and I didn't get the memo that says I have more rights than someone else.

This forum is now ankle-deep in anger, hatred, and self-pity—on the ankles of a very tall man. That's a nice combination.

It used to be better.

Hasta la vista, amigos que ya me conocen. No están muchos aquí ahora.

The good old days weren't always good but don't let that interfere with the self-pity.

In Hancock County, Ohio, in 1986, a man faked his death and disappeared. At the time he had lost his job and had other personal problems.

I don't see anything in either article that says he faked his death. They say he disappeared. Unless there's something I missed in the stories, his wife had good reason to think he was a deadbeat dad but no evidence he was dead.
