How to Grow Square Dancing

A recent article in the Austin Square Dance association newsletter ponders the age-old question, "how can we grow square dancing?". 

  

Actually, that question has a simple answer.  Just trick people into investing years of work and thousands of dollars into creating a club.  When the club finally grows large enough to be self-sufficient, outright bald-face steal it from the rightful owner. 

 

While this idea might seem outlandish, it did in fact work well for FunDancers and the raunchy, lying, cheating swindlers who got clean away with their theft.  So, the next time someone asks you, "How can we have more square dancers?" describe the tried and true way.  Cheat and rob someone. 

 

If you have any questions about how to cheat or rob someone out of many thousands of dollars and years of work, ask an expert such as Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Ted Zahorski, Nancy Zahorski, K O Jeanes, Johnny Preston, Wade Driver, Jerry Story, Tom Roper, Dan Nordbye, Darryl Lipscomb, Sam Bloom, Billy Grimsley, Brad Caldwell, Jerry Jestin, Mike Sikorsky, Bob McVey, Les Hughes, Jim Douglas.

 

So, always remember:  if you ever want more of anything in this world, look around you.  Find someone who worked hard to build what you want.  Wait until the owner goes out of town, then outright baldface steal what you want.  It's the cheap and easy way to prosperity.

What Did You learn?

Think back to when you were in school.  You probably took classes like reading, writing, math and science. Here's the question:  did you learn the skills you need to get ahead in life?
   
Answer:  probably not.  Consider, for example, the wacky world of square dance clubs.  Look at the people who get ahead in that arena.  Look at the skills they used to get there.
 
In the case of FunDancers, they used skills such as lying, stealing, cheating, swindling, name-smearing, back-stabbing and just downright total rottenness. Those are the skills we should teach in school.  Those are the skills which allow crooks, swindlers, slanderers and deadbeats such as Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Darryl Lipscomb, Sam Bloom, Jerry Story, Arthur Wills, Ted Zahorski, Tim Marriner, Tony Oxendine, Nancy Zahorski, Mike Sikorsky, FunDancers and Johnny Preston to get ahead in life.
 
That same skill-set allows two-faced, false-friend back-stabbers such as Billy Grimsley, Dan Nordbye, Tom Roper, Wade Driver, K O Jeanes, Wayne Weston, Gary Sanders, Bill Wright, Brad Caldwell, Arnold Gladson and Les Hughes to profit handsomely from the robbery of innocent people.
 
So, if you ever want to teach a promising youngster how to get ahead in life, teach the skills they really need.  Teach treachery, lying and just bald-face outright robbing innocent people.  That's how FunDancers got to where they are today, so apparently that's what it takes to get ahead in life.
 
Or ... here's an alternative ... you can steer clear of wrongdoing.  You can choose events which are good, correct, true, honest and wholesome.  You can avoid events staged by lying, swindling, cheating, stealing hucksters.  Choose a decent, moral event instead.

Improve the world!

You, yes you, can make the world a better place. 
 
Here's the situation:  Each week, a band of cheating, robbing, swindling, conniving crooks holds a square dance at a club which they outright, bald-face, totally stole.  You, yes YOU, can improve the world by refusing to endorse such immoral, rotten, lowdown, dastardly deeds. 
 
Here's how to fix it:  Instead of aiding, abetting and rewarding crime, you can choose a good, honest, wholesome dance event ... and encourage your friends to similarly choose right over wrong. You, yes YOU, can make the world a better place.  Don't let rotten, lowlife, no-good, cheating swindlers profit from robbery. Choose a better class of event.  Stop supporting theft.  Improve the world.

Why Is This Happening?

A few years ago, a gang of robbers stole a square dance club in broad daylight.  They cheated an innocent, hard-working couple out of an entire lifetime of investment and hard work.
 
The crime has been written up repeatedly on the internet. Did you know that the write-ups follow a very deliberate pattern?  Do you have any idea what the pattern is?

You get an email, and a post gets added to a website, and the message goes around the world, etc., each and every time the club's original founder / investor / creator / builder should have called the club's dance, but someone else came in there and swooped up robbery loot to call a dance which was outright stolen from the rightful owner.

Think about it.  A caller invests much time and money to build a nice square dance club. Why would someone build a square dance club?  There's only one reason.  The caller hopes to eventually recoup the huge up-front investment by calling future dances at the club. 

But in this case, the very week that the club finally became profitable, dirty, rotten crooks outright stole it from the original founder / builder / investor.  The club-builder never gets to recover his investment.  The future payout goes to accomplices in the crime.  Other callers gladly accept a handsome return on the investment made by an acquaintance who was duped, cheated, swindled and smeared.

 
Every time another episode in this crime spree occurs, it's just flat wrong.  Every time someone calls a dance which rightfully should be a return on the founder's original investment, YOU get a email message and a blog post gets made and a bunch of other things happen. 

Think about it.  These are not random rants.  Instead, they are carefully planned responses to events which YOU control. Every time you see a message like this, it means that YOU helped swindling, cheating liars to freshly rob an innocent crime victim of an incremental amount.  Each message is recorded for all time on  website which serves as a permanent monument to the moment when YOU made a bad choice.  You took a bad situation and made it WORSE by continuing to participate in crime.

Nobody's keeping count but the total robbery amount is now well over $60,000 in direct losses that an innocent couple suffered strictly because Ed Wedig, Fay Wheatley, Ken Wheatley, Sam Bloom, K O Jeanes, Johnny Preston, Jerry Story, Gary Sanders, Arthur Wills, Bill Wright, Wayne Weston, Les Hughes, Arnold Gladson, Ted Zahorski, Nancy Zahorski, Brad Caldwell, Mike Sikorsky, Dan Nordbye, Tom Roper, Wade Driver and a host of other people happen to be robbing, cheating, swindling thieves.

There's a very good reason for "naming names" but that will be the subject of a different message.  Remember, you get a message every time you commit an additional crime.  You'll get the rest of the story soon, I'm sure.
 
Square dancers are supposed to be fine, upstanding, moral people but the plain truth is that you're just flat NOT decent people.  You helped completely rip off an innocent, hard-working couple.  You did it by claiming that someone went crazy and therefore deserves to be robbed.  Decent people just flat do not do what you did. There is no rightness nor justification whatsoever about the crimes in which YOU participated and in which you CONTINUE to participate.

The one and only purpose of this message is to explain WHY seemingly random info keeps showing up all over the place.  In fact, it's not random.  Every time a new crime occurs, a new message is born.  YOU control the messages.  The messages will stop the very minute that YOU stop participating in the robbery, cheating and swindling of innocent, hard-working people.

Reap what you sow

Pssst.  Hey you!  Will you help?  Here's the deal.  A group of swindlers cheated and robbed an innocent couple out of their life's work.  Now the crooks need your help to spend the robbery loot.  Will you aid and abet criminal scumbags?
  
If you're a square dancer in the San Antonio or Austin area, or a square dance caller anywhere, the answer is obviously a resounding YES. 

 

So here's my suggestion.  Seeing as you're such a big proponent of theft and looting, why don't you become their next robbery victim?  Yes, that's a grand idea.  Start your very own square dance club.  Spend years of your time and thousands of your dollars to build it up.  The very minute it becomes self-sufficient, let the swindlers steal it right out from under your nose.
  

When you refuse to silently take a robbin', enjoy watching the dirtbags smear your hard-earned good name all to hell and back.  Observe while your fake "friends" gladly support and endorse the lying robbing swindlers who cheated you (in one fell swoop) out of the venture which took years of your time (and thousands of your dollars) to build.
 

In closing, I actually have NO problem with the fact that you support lying cheating robbing swindlers ... as long as you are willing to become their next robbery victim.  So, enjoy wallowing in the filth of someone else's criminal acts, but don't get all indignant when you become the target of the next robbery.  After all, if you support the robbery of your "fellow square dancer" then surely you can support the same concept when you become the crime victim.

  
Or ... here's an idea ... you can do the right thing instead.  You can stop endorsing theft.  You can refuse to reward people who rob and steal.  You can find good honest activities to support.  With all of the decent legitimate square dance events around, why on earth would you chose a cheating robbing swindled club?

Need Your Help

PSSSST! Pardon me. I have a small favor to ask. Can you help me? Helping is easy. Here's how you can help.

Dirty crooked robbers outright stole a business after it was built by an innocent couple. The bad guys cheated that couple out of thousands of dollars, years of hard work and hundreds of supposed "friends".

The bad guys then defiled and smeared the good name of the business and its originators, down to the point where a fair and just resolution is simply not possible. The robbery was totally unfair, unprovoked, unmitigated, unreasonable and without excuse. The stolen business has been raped and plundered and desecrated and ruined beyond any hope of recovery.

You might wonder how you can help. Thanks for asking. It's actually easy. Here's how you can help:

DON'T SUPPORT THE ROBBING CHEATERS. Don't allow rotten lying plundering crooks to get clean away with criminal acts.

Crooks outright stole a local business. They totally cheated and swindled the people who built the business. SO ... here's where YOU come into the picture. Here's what YOU can do, to help improve the world. AVOID that business. Don't allow crooks to profit from crime.

You really CAN make a difference. Simply make the right choice. Resist the lure of stolen robbery loot. Choose wholesome above-board activities instead. Avoid crime and criminals. Discourage robbing cheating lying name-smearing swindlers. Make the world a better place.

Local Square Dance Group Needs Your Help

Months ago, a local square dance club installed incompetent immoral officers who robbed the club's founder / originator / investor of many thousands of dollars. The crooks used the loot to run the club.

When the crime victim protested, the rotten defamatory swindlers spread all kinds of lies. For example, they claimed that no robbery ever took place and/or the victim deserved to get robbed and/or the money they outright stole was actually a gift. Their alibis prove the ancient theory: "there is no honor among thieves".

If you helped the crooks get away with robbery then you are a party to one of the biggest crimes in square dance history. Yet the sad truth is that the stolen funds have finally petered out. The club recently had to make a "slight" adjustment by hiking their admission price by a whopping SIXTY PERCENT.

When's the last time you had a sixty percent raise? We're talking "desperation". The club operated a good long while on stolen funds but that loot has simply dried up. Now the club needs to steal more money, in a bad way.

Here's where you can help. All the club really needs is a new crime victim. If you will simply let expert con-artists rob and cheat you out of thousands of dollars (the same way they robbed me) then the stolen club can continue to operate on robbery loot in the future (just like they've done in the past).

One tiny word of warning. If you get cheated and robbed by immoral crooks, don't even CONSIDER protesting to the square dance "friends" that you THINK you have. You will learn that the "rock-solid" friendships which you THINK you built are actually as fake and as flimsy as a puff of smoke. After you become a crime victim, you will LOSE EVERY LAST BLASTED FRIEND you THOUGHT YOU EVER HAD. Your fake friends will gleefully swoop in and help the robbers spend all the loot stolen from you.

Of course you could always choose to do the right thing instead. You could go to an honest dance instead. You could refuse to reward robbery, crime, cheating, swindling and theft. But most people will not stand up for what's right. They don't have enough backbone. It's far easier to go along with the crowd and grab at the stolen loot before someone else grabs your share.

There's only one drawback to that philosophy: stolen robbery loot eventually runs out. So, step right up and become the next chump. The previous robbery loot is almost depleted, the ticket price has been "slightly" adjusted by a whopping 60 percent, and the club desperately needs another robbery victim. Who will it be? Could it be you?

I've already had my turn. Now it's your turn to get robbed. If you ever helped the cheating swindling scumbags spend any robbery loot, I very sincerely hope that you get what you richly deserve by becoming the next crime victim.

Find the Mistake

You already know the story. You already formed your opinion.

Here's a recap: an honest hard-working couple started a square dance club. They invested years of hard work and thousands of dollars. Eventually it became the premiere club in the region.

Almost at the very minute it turned profitable, lowdown scumbags outright stole the club, the money, every last one of the caller's so-called "friends", all future bookings and the caller's sole means of making a living. They literally stole everything the caller and his wife had ever built up during three decades of square dancing.

The local square dance community seems to overwhelmingly support this theft. Dancers readily believed all the lies and gossip. Not one former "friend" stepped up to say "STOP the wrongdoing!" or "QUIT bad-mouthing people after you rob them!".

In the aftermath, let's find the caller's mistake. The actual fact is that the caller lost his club, friends, money, reputation, etc. Surely he did something wrong. After all, if you do things "right", you don't up and lose everything you ever had. Clearly, some mistake was made somewhere.

So, let's analyze it. Exactly what did the caller do wrong? What key mistake did this talented hard-working successful calling couple make, to cause bad evil crooks to steal everything they ever created? What inherent fault or shortcoming caused an internationally-known hugely-popular couple to richly deserve to lose all their money, friends, hard work, bookings, reputation, income, etc? What key mistake caused their whole life to fall apart?

Can you find the mistake? All the clues are right there, staring you in the face. How good of a sleuth are you? Can you find what they did wrong?

In fact, they actually made one critical mistake. Many of you are making that same mistake right now. Here's the key mistake: the caller and his spouse completely trusted people who, as it ends up, happen to be dirty rotten lowdown immoral cheaters, robbers, liars, thieves, swindlers, defamers and crooks.

Are you making that same mistake right now? If you support the totally immoral and illegal FunDancers club of today, you are in fact making that same mistake. You're trusting people who will gleefully cheat and rob you. You're pretending that these people are your "friends" when in fact, they're patiently waiting for the opportunity to rob you blind.

If you support robbery and swindling, you're in luck. If you like socializing with other people who steal, cheat and lie, here's good news. You can go to FunDancers and dance to callers who gladly and knowingly accept stolen money to call for cheaters and robbers at a club which was outright stolen in broad daylight by swindlers, crooks and thieves. While you're there, you can enjoy lies and gossip about how the crime victim richly deserved to be robbed.

At least you now know why he was robbed. You know exactly which mistake was made. Whenever you trust crooks and swindlers, you get robbed and cheated. Mystery solved.

As far as I can tell, some of you still support this crime. In today's spirit of investigation, one more question screams to be asked: WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG WITH YOU?? How can you possibly justify robbery, cheating, lying, swindling, defamation and theft? Why on earth do you help lowdown scumbags get away with their crimes scot-free?

Who You Gonna Call?

FunDancers was founded as a welcome alternative to the unpleasant dysfunctional politics of other square dance clubs. Alas, the plan backfired when seasoned crooks silently infiltrated FunDancers. The bad guys waited patiently while the club organizers / developers / builders invested years of hard work and thousands of dollars to grow the new club.

The club eventually became profitable which also meant that it had grown large enough to be worth stealing. That's exactly what the swindlers were waiting for. They outright stole the club away from the founders / workers / builders. Unlawful crooks used their superior skills of lying and cheating, along with their well-rehearsed talent for gossip and defamation, to steal the club (along with thousands of dollars in actual cash money) and to turn hundreds of so-called "friends" vehemently against the good people who started and grew the club.

When it first happened, the situation still seemed manageable. After all, square dancers are supposed to be fine upstanding people. Surely square dancers know the difference between good and evil, right? Surely no square dance caller would help criminals rob and cheat honest people, right? Surely the crooks could never find a caller who will knowingly accept stolen robbery loot, right?

WRONG!

To avert the very slight chance that any caller was completely unaware of the robbery, the club's founder / organizer / builder / crime-victim personally contacted every scheduled guest caller. He informed each potential crime-enabler that the club still owed a ton of money to the founders. Robbers and swindlers outright stole the club in broad daylight, thus cheating the club builders out of years of hard work and thousands of dollars. The club planned to use loot from the robbery to hire guest callers.

What happened next was a total surprise.

Would you care to guess how many callers turned down the chance to call for cheating robbing dirty rotten stealing scumbag lying name-smearing swindlers?

Go ahead and try to guess how many callers refused to accept stolen funds. Remember, every caller the club ever booked knew ... in advance ... that they would get paid with stolen robbery loot.

Did you try to guess how many honest callers are at-large among us? Please take the time to think it through and make your guess. How many callers just will not help rob a colleague? Go ahead and guess right now, because you are about to discover how many honest callers can be found in the local region.

Okay, here's the answer you've been waiting for:

NOT ONE BLASTED CALLER refused to accept stolen money!

EVERY last LOWDOWN caller who EVER called for the lying cheating robbers KNOWINGLY accepted ROBBERY LOOT.

EVERY caller for the stolen club is a SORRY CHEATER-helping SWINDLER-abetting money-GRABBING unethical STEALING RATFINK who KNOWINGLY CHEATS their colleagues and ROBS the square dance activity blind.

EVERY caller who EVER called for the crooks UNJUSTLY PROFITED by GRABBING STOLEN ROBBERY LOOT offered by SWINDLERS who, in an UNPROVOKED and UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK, CHEATED good honest hard-working people out of THOUSANDS of dollars and YEARS of hard work.

EVERY STINKIN' CALLER eagerly grabbed as much loot as possible, as OFTEN as they could. Many of them CAME BACK for a SECOND or THIRD helping of loot! Today they STILL grab whatever's left of the robbery loot, as often as they can!

Callers totally LACKING in morals KNOWINGLY accept robbery loot from CROOKS and gladly help SMEAR the good name of their crime victims. Many of these lowlife backstabbing callers are actually AMUSED because one of THEIR OWN COLLEAGUES was robbed, swindled and cheated.

Frankly, I am embarrassed to be labeled as a "caller" because it unfairly lumps me in with so many lowlife robbing stealing double-crossing back-stabbing immoral scumbags. I am shocked beyond belief that every caller who had the chance to Do The Right Thing actually turned the other way and ignored all common decency. I am flabbergasted that any caller would gladly help cheating lying swindling defaming slandering proven crooks who dangle stolen robbery loot as an apparently irresistible lure.

To be fair, some callers avoided the crime scene. Perhaps they were never offered a share of the loot. The good guys (or perhaps the ones who don't call well enough to get offered any stolen money) are surely in short supply. Still, a surprising number of callers (actually, any number greater than zero is surprising) is totally willing to help rob and cheat and swindle one of their own. These immoral callers continue to cheat, rob, loot, swindle and profiteer even to this day.

Make good note of the callers who gladly participate in robbery and scandal. Just so there's no doubt, I shall publish a complete list of crime-enablers soon, on this website, for your handy and permanent reference.

If you ever want to plan your own robbery, you'll know exactly who to contact. Get someone with experience. Just look at the past, present and future callers at the stolen club. They all knowingly participated in robbery. Those are the callers you'll want to contact should you ever need help to pull off your own cheating swindling cut-throat robbery. Just be careful. The caller you get to help you rob someone else just might gladly rob and swindle and cheat and back-stab you.
