lol

May-07-10  HeMateMe: .....voted "most likely to be in litigation" by his graduating high school class.
May-07-10  MaxxLange: Sloan (if that is really him)! does look as if he has seen better days, in the pic. But so it goes, with all of us.

Is his Ishi Press weblog still up? Sloan was, actually and truly, a pioneer of blogging, among his other accomplishments

  chancho: From Wikipedia:

<Sloan has been married three times and has eight children by five women. Sloan's second wife, Honzagool, was a native of Chitral and together they had a daughter born in New York State on October 15, 1981. Sloan and the mother soon separated and Sloan fled New York for Virginia with that same daughter, soon leaving the daughter in the care of a Virginia couple, while the mother soon returned to Chitral. Sloan was soon locked into a now-moot child custody struggle with that Virginia couple over that same daughter which lasted many years. On September 5, 1991, Sloan attempted to flee the USA with that same daughter and he was arrested. Sloan was convicted of attempted abduction of that same daughter for which he spent over two years in State prison.>

<Sloan converted to Islam and thus also is known as Haji Mohammed Ismail Sloan>

  blazerdoodle: Obviously a hoax.

Hasn't the guy been @#$% on enough?

Nov-18-10  HeMateMe: The blog says that Sam has his very own Satanic cult. Why would someone lie about a thing like that?

  blazerdoodle: LOL.

If it walks like a conspiracy theory, quacks like a conspiracy theory, then : IT IS a conpiracy theory.

Nov-23-10  MaxxLange: that's kind of pathetic, as a parody. it's both stupid and mean. mean parodies should be clever.....

it would take a genius to do a good parody of Sloan's old web site. it's like trying to write a parody of Tolkien's Tom Bombadil character, an ordinary person just can't do it

On the kibitzing preview page all I saw was "Sam's kicked..." We shall not soon see his like again, I thought to myself.

Ditto.

Jan-18-11  edbermac: Whole bunch of pics posted by Sam here. Some personal, political rally, the last chess Olympics.

And look at his apartment on page 34; it's exactly what I imagined it would look like.
