FossilMan is an A$$HOLE in person

[Russ McGinley]

I met FossilMan today at the poker room in Jacksonville, FL. What a jerk. He acts all nice and helpful on this site but in real life, it's a whole different story. First, he charged $5 for an autograph. Then he refused to talk to people for more than 30 seconds, and he actually had a stopwatch to time the conversation. I tried to ask him about his WSOP appearances in 2002 and 2003, and he just said "I'm only going to talk about this years event because I won it, making me the WSOP Champion." and so on. Just a bunch of bragging. GET OVER YOURSELF ALREADY.

<font color="white">Haha, just kidding. Greg was very nice in person and we did chat for probably 5 minutes or so about his past WSOP experiences. I thought it was interesting that he ponied up the 10K in 2002. He said on the radio that a lot of people think you have to qualify and that a regular guy with 10k can't just walk in and play. I also didn't know why he was in the audience for the 2002 final table. He said he's good friends with Russell Rosenbloom, who finished 4th or 5th I believe, and that he is also friends with Varkonyi and his teacher whose name escapes me. Anyway, Greg told me to make a post about him being an a$$hole as a joke, so Greg when you read this I hope you laugh.</font>

He was very nice to me. He didn't charge me, and I even walked up to him when he was sitting at a poker table and he had no problem taking his time talking to me.

You got a bargain; I paid him $10 for an autograph.

WTF???!?! When did he turn into an [censored]?

[MLG]

I met him at Foxwoods, and he was very gracious. He talked with me for a while, seemed like a really nice guy to me.

Funny post.

Is that guy as "white" in person as he is in this post?

<font color="white">hint, hint, for those who don't get the joke </font>

[wacki]

No, he is as white as my a$$.
<font color="white"> Hah hah, I get it now.... </font>

I don't know if he's an [censored] or not, but charging money for his autograph is really lame. I would just laugh out loud at him if I saw this in person.

Fossilman sucks.

Everybody here already knew he was a total jerk BEFORE he won the WSOP.


Mike Matusow is my hero.

Hopefully this joke won't get picked up by the real a-holes who won't know it's a joke and end up you-know-where.
