Gabor started calling members of Pattaya Talk "lame dupes" and "lame losers"  back in 2005 (he had joined PT in 2002).  But he only coupled "lame dupe" with "overpayer" once in 2005 and that, ironically, was in a joking reference to himself. He used the phrase more in 2006, but sometimes in the form "overpayer lame dupe"  or "overpays lame dupe." Here's his first use of "lame dupe overpayer" about another BM.

 The late Baz (aka Alfa-Zulu, Patna), who was also Hungarian, told me  "lame dupe" is a literal translation of the slang phrase béna balek.  The word béna  means "lame" in the sense of "crippled"  and balek can be translated as "sucker," "easy mark" or more rarely, "dupe."  Putting the words together conveys the meaning of a "pathetic sucker or dupe."  It also implies the person so called was fooled by a scam that's easy to see through, he said.

"Lame dupe overpayer" gathered steam in 2006 and other BMs began using it.  By 2007, it was widespread on the Pattaya punter boards.  However, Gabor wasn't the one who first used the acronym LDOP.  That dubious distinction goes to a Pattaya Talk BM from New Zealand who first used it in 2007.

gabor saying is like stickman lowest low season ever

I met Brownie one night at Sssss years ago but never did meet Jack Daniels. 

I have never seen anyone busted in a lie like Eddie busted JD over his supposed designing of the electrical system in that mega yacht.  Funniest thing I've ever seen on any forum.

One of the biggest shitfests ABOUT the Secrets' board took place on Pattaya Talk.  Anyone remember the cult of Secretology?  Larry was called Xenu, the dictator of the Galactic Federation who came to Earth 75 million years ago and anyone on the committee level was termed a "grandmaster" of the cult.

The Secretologist threads were examples of punter board discussion at its worst.  Irrational posts gave way to ridiculous accusations and name calling.  It was the punter boards as the Theatre of the Absurd.  It reached its lowest point when Gabor suggested the Admin of Secrets might put a hit on him, but a long-term member of Talk ripped Gabor to shreds with his reply:

CheshireTom was referring to the fact the Ambassaor City in Na Jomtien has 4,200 rooms, the 10th largest hotel in the world by room count. 

Thankfully, we don't see threads like this anymore.

Tom hasn't posted on any board for at least five years.  He was indeed an excellent poster and top-notch photographer.

Pattaya forum-ing.  I was commenting that I was one of the people who "liked" that post (from 2012) you screenshotted.

I thought that is what you meant, but wasn't sure.  A lot of us fall into that category.  I've often thought that had I devoted all the hours I've spent reading or posting to the Pattaya boards to studying the Thai language, I could have a Ph.D in Thai by now.

But the boards have generally been fun and informative.  In recent years,  I have cut back on the boards and forced myself to get more exercise than moving my fingers on a keyboard.

I've always agreed with your posts Alias.

 

And.... I agree. I've always enjoyed Evil's reviews. Going to be looking back at some of them today searching for an evening dinning spot. Although Eatigo has captured my attention lately following three fantastic 50% off meals in Bangkok.

Shoot, before Shhh, I was on the old Misty's forum and rode that into the ground.  Also posted on the old "Big Mango" Bangkok blog.  Pretty sure I was on the Talk board early on then stopped posting (did it have another name before Talk?).  Talk about a misspent adulthood!

[Yesitisdakid]

Yes the old flb board great memories I remember when it was a threaded board not easy to follow but always put information.

I certainly agree with the creepy part,  but sitting near him in the Rockhouse one night caused a different reaction in me.  Rompho Ray stopped me from doing something I would have come to regret.  Thanks Ray!

I have to wonder what an FBI profiler would make of posts about killing a nine-month-old infant girl. That to me is creepy to the max.
