The Pharisee reported on Monday that the Caput a Palos, AKA TxBluesMan, AKA Sgt. Gregory Prickett, AKA The Prickette (pictured at left), has left the employ of UNT-Dallas. It is unknown at this time if he jumped or was pushed. Regardless of how or why, he is no longer employed by UNT.
I'm an empathetic person at heart, so I have a certain feeling of sadness for the Caput a Palos. There is nothing more damaging to a man's self esteem than the loss of his employment. Most of us feel somewhat defined by our occupation ("I'm a doctor", or "I'm a lawyer", or "I'm a glorified mall cop", for example).
That stated, I have to admit to a certain schadenfruede over the news. After all, Mr. Bigshot has wrongfully maligned me and blogger friends of mine with the vilest of accusations, and did so under cover of anonymity. That his cover has been blown and his shady acts of cowardice exposed is a satisfaction ranking right up there with a 49ers Super Bowl victory for me.
When The Prickette was outed, he lashed out against those most prominent in the exposure of his identity by filing a bogus lawsuit against them. The Pharisee reported on Tuesday that the lawsuit is effectively kaput. Given that it was strictly an intimidation ploy by The Prickette all along, Hugh has filed a criminal complaint against him. It seems that in Texas -- and pretty much nowhere else -- it is a felony crime to engage in Barratry - the act or practice of bringing legal action solely to harass. The complaint also details The Prickette's harassment of Hugh's daughter, an innocent bystander in this particular pissing contest.
Hey, if this is a pissing contest, has Hugh succeeded in making it halfway up the 30' pole (as compared to The Prickette's measly 2 feet)? I always suspected that The Prickette was a little...uh...lacking...in the man-plumbing department.
I hear that every time a cop gets fired a member of NWA gets his wings. Could be. All I know is there's one less goon out there busting teeth today than there was last week at this time.
