Ctrl +F "Peckah"

alright I'll give it a read

Same thing I did, but for an added layer of protection I gave the bottom half of the post a cursory glance as well. Can't be too careful these days.

Yeah I did a chip check too. But all the way through I thought I missed it and it was coming.

but what if there was an actual "peckah" in the story though? And since you see the word peckah and decide to skip the story, you could be missing out on a good peckah story!

I did the same, finished reading this and I gotta say... kinda disappointed it's not a Chip roll.

Kinda? I was counting on after reading that for so long

I don't believe a word of this shit.

it's true.Jimmy did the same thing in my hat store,also on Elizabeth Street.

Hey, turkey! I tried to buy a hat from your store, but when I put it on it was full of soup and bubble gum.

Oh, Ted's Hat Emporium?

Get outta here! I just opened up a new Toyota Cardealership right accross from you guys! Business going great at Elizabeth Street, that's for sure. Alright buddy, I'll see you on Monday. Wait until you see the new Toyota's we got coming, they'll blow you away!

Did he insist the hat come filled with marmalade?

How much do lead hats go for these days?

The amount of shoe research he must have done is fucking staggering.

Or he made it up as he went along. I wouldn't know the ingredients to make a shoe from a glory hole

Ya, somehow I don't believe an elite level, artisinal (or whatever you might call it) boot cobbler to the stars would listen to fucking Opie and Jim. I imagine the fine programming over at NPR would be more their speed.

But Adam Sandler is The Cobbler and that dumb fuck probably still listens to the Jerky Boys on an endless loop

Yeah when he said he thought his stand up was funny was when I got suspicious.

Underrated post

Shoes of all things. Why shoes?

I was expecting a chip roll, but this just sucks.

Two points:

1. The amount of detail presented is pretty impressive, but my gut instinct is to assume bullshit. It's not impossible, but the guy happens to have the only open-to-the-public shop on Elizabeth Street that can't be verified by street view or some other online presence.

2. If it is true - or at least the OP's occupation - I just want to point out how I hate his medieval artisan guildsman lifestyle. "My apprentice Steve"? Apprentices are named Cuthbert or Humphrey, not fucking Steve.

EDIT: Bullshit meter is getting into the red now with the repeated posts of "come down to the store and see for yourself".

It's a trick to lure people to an industrial district and kill off what few O&A fans remain.

Opie's a killer yo

Also, "He took a liking to a pair of commando soled seven eye leather boot I dubbed "the grunts" which I made for Steve McQueen around 25 years ago."

Steve McQueen had been dead for 10 years already (1980) 25 years ago (1990). What a lying faggot Op is!

I was about to post this but checked to make sure no one else had already done so...and there you were.

[deleted]

He said HE made them for STEVE MCQUEEN. He DIDN'T say they WERE picked UP or EVEN ordered, knowutimean?

1980!?

The fact that OP refuses to post any evidence makes me lean towards "BS" as well.

Here's Elizabeth Street, as close as it comes to Carleton Ave. Yeah, that looks like a shoe store. https://www.google.com/maps/place/S+Elizabeth+St,+Seattle,+WA+98108/@47.5448088,-122.3182868,3a,75y,284.33h,69.72t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sgy3B17KMeiHVUTmEG_DWkA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3Dgy3B17KMeiHVUTmEG_DWkA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D100%26h%3D80%26yaw%3D164.57941%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x549041ecda6cb1c1:0x2cb592942bede9a6

Must be right there next to TROLL motors. Nice work, OP.

I'd like to give him credit for that, but he was never going to say it was in Seattle until someone else tipped him off. Elisabeth Street, NYC looks like it could feasibly conceal a Renaissance cobbler shop. S Elisabeth Street, Seattle obviously does not.

C'mon what are the chances that there is a place called Troll Motors on Elizabeth St. in the city where Jimmy is. I think this was a good troll. He knew Jimmy was in Seattle, knew he'd get called out on that and then when we check out that address in Seattle: "Troll Motors".

He knew Jimmy was in Seattle, knew he'd get called out on that and then when we check out that address in Seattle: "Troll Motors".

He did not know those things.

Troll Motors? It's too much of a coincidence.

He would have said Seattle out of the gate rather than cryptically refer to "the city" in the OP.

But it's even more of a troll to get everyone looking at New York and then when he says it's Seattle, there it is "Troll Motors". If he said Seattle straight away everyone would have looked there on google maps rather than at Manhatten.

He stumbled into it. He's an impressively creative liar, but he isn't the Joker.

I mean if he is actually from Seattle I don't think it's that big of a stretch to do this. It only seems more impressive because the idea that there is a place called "Troll Motors" seems so odd. The chances that he stumbled into that are extremely slim.

He initially said "Elizabeth Street", not "South Elizabeth Street" (the one that exists in Seattle). I just don't buy that he wasn't just giving slack as his lie crumbled.

To me it seems like he purposelly used vague language so we'd make our own assumptions. It's not unusual to drop the "South" part of a street name. If you google "Elizabeth Street, Seattle" it shows you South Elizabeth St.... Anyway I'm not 100% convinced he did it on purpose probably about 70%. You gotta admit the name "Troll Motors" would be a huge coincidence.

And now that I think about it, didn't Lady Di have something to do with Elizabeth Street as well?

I see where the confusion might come from, she lives on the streets of Elizabeth, NJ.

Oh, that's what that was! Thanks for correcting me, I appreciate it.

Thanks for not writing 6 paragraphs about how you sold her socks.

[deleted]

Jim has been in Seattle all weekend so yeah this is bullshit

my apprentice Steve

YESSSS, MAKING BOOOOOOTS

AND THAT'S HOW YOU EXECUTIVE COBBLE.

Just...why? It wasnt a chip-roll and it wasnt particularly funny or insulting...the only funny part really was the ridiculous shoe-store...I just dont know why anyone would take the effort to do this.

This is what I don't get.

The fucking 6 paragraphs of backstory about this shoe store is all written like someone who's trying too hard to establish credibility. But if you're not going to make up something a little juicier than this... fucking why would you waste so much time coming up with this?

Because it's this sub. The only rule is there are no rules.

It's Thunderdome!

I think he enjoys spreading confusion and intrigue.

character development. just a person having fun with it. its kinda funny I guess but not funny enough to be worth the effort.

It would be a legit interesting story about Jimmy being an entitled ass, if only it was real. The fact that it's so anticlimactic just makes it more believable.

I want to believe.

I never took Jimmy for the $6000 pair of boots type.

He is a FANCY MAN with FANCY FEET!

HE HAD A FOOT THING ON HIS FOOT

He wanted shoes made out of fuckin sharks DVV DVV

[deleted]

Right, he wears old ripped up tshirts.

As long as this guy can sew in an Ozzy or Black Sabbath logo.

JIM NORTON: FOOTWEAR DIVA

This is Colin Quinn trolling you all I guarantee it. Fucking reeks of something like this happening lol

Yeah that was my first thought they were writing this with colin in mind.

The idea of Jim Norton commissioning custom footwear from some artisinal craftsman is funny in itself.

I can't believe this!

Jim Norton is NOT a funny stand up

So true. Seems so odd that he's just not that funny on stage. and he don't get no better with age either. As a stand up he should be at full whack right about now.

Poor Jimmy. Can't even afford to drop a few g on a pair a shoes :(

Maybe he'd be better if he didn't deliver his jokes like he's telling them to his parents

That sounds bizarre.

don't beat yourself up over it because rich people generally act like shitheads once they spend some sort of money and demand it back because they failed to realize certain rules or requirements, recognize that, and then turn around and make it out to be your fault for some reason.

edit: just realized calling yimmy "rich" was being generous, I should just say anyone who fails to read instructions and spends money.

jimmy is rich

as much as ppl hate to admit opie made jim into a millionaire and anthony was ready to kill the show for some stunt hoe

Why don't you call in to the show instead of waiting IF he bring it up?

man, suggesting he LISTENS to that show so he can call into it? what did OP do to you? kill your mother?

Because he doesn't want to be called "baby boy" and talked over by two 50 year old retards?

Why did you make boots for Steve McQueen 10 YEARS AFTER HE DIED? HMMMMMMMMMMM??

You are thinking of the Actor, I am talking about the British Director. I knew Steve and he came to me flush after one of his first stand out films 5 easy pieces with lots of cash to splash.

I made him those boots, a brown threaded belt with a British flat hollow buckle. He probably only made £100,000 from the film, he spend 1/10th of that on boots and a fancy belt!

Five easy pieces is a 7 minute avant garde short that was never released theatrically. His compensation for making that was probably a free hot dinner. You lying fuck.

Steve is a long time friend of mine. Five easy pieces was what brought investment and funding to most of his career and allowed him to on on to direct big films like hunger.

I know he was given at least 5 figures by 1 international talent agency who later funded multiple short films and dramas. It isn't unusual for talented people like Steve to receive such support in the hopes of them remembering it when are are big time.

That was a smart investment on their part.

Oh yeah? They gave him all that money as an investment and then he didn't make a feature length film for 13 years. What a smart "investment." Let's recap real quick:

1. 3 day old account

2. Absolutely no proof of owning a business. Not even a picture.

3. Close friend of Steve McQueen.

You're an asshole.

i like your style

I understand why you would be skeptical. Come down to the store and see for yourself.

As for Steve he is a great friend and extremely talented and passionate guy. He did Dramas and TV work in the UK' other smaller dims and was active for many years in the arts most of that time was dedicated to his passions. He only later returned to films, once he focused his attentions on directing again he succeeded in that like he does with everything he sets his sights on.

He is eccentric but you can't deny his talent or work ethic.

Just post a few pics from your store dude. All you gotta do. Surely you have some photographic evidence that proves you own a store. Shit, maybe even post a picture of you and Steve McQueen. But who am I kidding, we both know you're not going to do any of that.

Hard to go to a nonexistent store.

No, he didn't. Not before Hunger anyway.

Also post exact address and describe the building.

I understand why you would be skeptical. Come down to the store and see for yourself.

Sure. I'll be in the city the weekend after next. Give me an address.

Elizabeth street Seattle just across from carlton Ave.

Confirmed 100% fake now. He only mentioned Seattle after someone pointed out that Jimmy's in Seattle.

He told me he had seen the store through the glass panel before and has looked through on occasion and has seen my apprentice Steve

Really? Jimmy on occasion travels to an empty street in Seattle and peeks into your windows on occasion.

Do you know what an address is? Do you live in the town from the Hardy Boys? Stop asking people to come by, you moron, no one wants to take a three hour flight to see a burned out shell.

Bayport, NY for the win.

You son of a bitch, you waited juuuust long enough to salvage your lie.

lol next to "troll motors".

Why does your good close personal friend Steve hate that guy who wrote the script for 12 Years a Slave? Did Mr. McQueen really try to steal his award statuette while he was in the bathroom?

The guy does make some good movies, Shame is one of my favorites.

5 Easy Pieces came out 20 years ago, in 1995. Not 25 years ago in 1990

So, he was rewarding himself 5 years before the film came out, after he had only had made 2 short films? His first film wasn't until 1993, 3 year after he came to you celebrating when he was still a nobody film-maker?

Just admit it, you fucked up saying Steve McQueen and 25 years, not knowing that he died before that and are now backtracking. Some of it was pretty believable though, but no proof of your shop with photos, a new account, no proof the shop even exists...

Poor effort overall, sir.

Those people know how to spend money.

So you made him boots 5 years before the short film which made him rich and prompted his visit to get said boots was made? Interesting way to make a profit I must say.

Jerry Gallo is dead! I said Jerry Callo....

That was 20 years ago, which could easily be mistaken for 25 so I'm not saying that means anything. However, I am very doubtful that Steve McQueen made anywhere close to £100,000 from an obscure 7 minute short film that is the second movie of a homo-erotic art-house trilogy which features a man taking out his cock and pissing on the camera.

Post evidence

Photo of shoes would be aces Chippa.

so you made an account 3 days ago, and it just so happens today Jim walks in your store? I'm not calling you a liar, that's just a weird coincidence.

I joined recently to browse the fitness sub and start my own private sub to chart my workout routine. I have bad shoulders and back problems due to posture from hunching while I work.

Naturally after today I posted on the o&a sub

That would explain why your only other posts are in /r/explainlikeimfive and /r/islam.

Scale back on the irrelevant details by about 40% and this would all be pretty believable.

C+

Liar. Dirty filthy liar. You get outta here! You no belong! You go! You go now!

No tickee, no laundry!

"I explained to him the high quality and high price of having boots created and he might be better off going for something else."

That's when I expected Opie to come in and smugly set down a gold card while Pretty Woman played in the background.

so he hates it when some lion is killed, but was okay with having a pair of boots made out of a shark?

He asked about having me use a similar last to the one I used to create the same profile, but use a different hide

Implying that jimmy prioritizes animal cruelty and not spending less.

Also this is all untrue.

well smack me around and call me susie

Oh literal chris2webby

You're a cobbler who can't figure out what happens when a tree falls and you're entranced by Islam. Are you a Yemeni villager circa 650 AD?

Yes, he's a Cumia.

This made me laugh, good job. I worked in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain at the bequest of the house of Khalifa ( a young prince started a royal initiative to produce national high skilled craftsmen) and I worked in my younger years for a very well paying Saudi company that catered to the extremely wealthy of Saudi society.

Fun fact - I was in Saudi Arabia during the siege of the grand mosque. My times in the middle east made me fall in love with the Islamic calls to prayer and Islamic music. Traditional Arabic is beautiful.

لا تفهم شيئا من لسان العرب يا كاذب

Also, to answer your question in the Islam forum:

Why can Christians and Jews live Under the caliphate as long as they pay the Jizya but not other non Abrahamic religious people? Why is Judaism and Christianity seen as somehow less bad than say Yazedi's or Hindu's? Is there a kind of kinship between the three religions that uphold the old testament?

Because Hindus aren't Abrahamic. They worship multiple gods, making them guilty of shirk - polytheism, which is theoretically punishable by death (though the Muslims tended to slow their roll on that when they encountered entire nations full of Hindus). Yazidis are technically Abrahamic, but they have controversial beliefs about Satan/Iblis, which leads outsiders to consider them "devil-worshipers".

In the Islamic tradition, Abraham was a "hanif", a pure monotheist, a sort of proto-Muslim. His teachings became corrupt over the centuries, resulting in Judaism and Christianity. The Jews and Christians are cut some slack because they're worshiping the right God but either doing it incorrectly (Jews) or making him share the spotlight with a son (Christians).

You take your education and get the fuck OUT!

Jizya? I hardly know ya!

FAWKK YAAA

I thought yazidis were Zoroastrian

Kind of. They have a lot of Zoroastrian trappings but no reference to dualism. They're a weird blend of a lot of traditions. I may have overstated the Abrahamic element, but their Satan/Melek Taus story comes straight out of Islamic mysticism.

Where the fuck am i

I had to check which sub I was still in while reading this.

Did ya?

That's the kind of hi-tech skills the Saudis need to stay competitive after oil, cobbling. Next time you're working over some sweaty, Arab tootsies put in a good word about the price of gas for us.

Lying cunt

Wonder where your brain dragged the word Khalifa out of.

Just wanted to make sure I post this somewhere that isn't too far buried in a thread:

Jimmy the former addict is now a boot diva

hes not a former addict, he was a kid who got fucked up like every kid does

Complete lie. He's been in Seattle since Thursday, and his last show is going on right now. OP hasn't revealed the city, but it's ridiculous to tell everyone to "come to Elizabeth Street and see for yourself" if you're referring to a city on the complete opposite side of the country from where he lives.

No peckahs? I was looking for peckahs and got none. I feel cheated.

Isn't Jimmy in Seattle? I thought he had Friday and Saturday shows. So he performed in Seattle last night, flew back to New York, went to your store, and then flew back to Seattle tonight to perform again?

Yeah.I cant believe anyone is even arguing that this might be true, but yeah there's solid proof. The title said today specifically and he's in Seattle today.

"B..BUT COME TO ELIZABETH STREET"

I don't believe this story at all. You make boots for presidents, but was in shock to see JIM NORTON?

However, if he did go into this store it was only to do recon work for a documentary he's making on the use of animal skin for the pleasure of humans. He'll try to sell this doc to Ricky Gervais for cheap, in return for a part in his next movie.

I do like the idea of this prick prepping for a no one gives a fuck documentary with his Canon 5D and Iphone 6 and when it all falls apart because having average prosumer tech does not a film maker make, he decides to take what he's learnt this far and turn it into a post on an O&A sub.

Homoerotic fan-fiction.

Raaaaaaaaaaamon....... Bring me some ice cream for this cobbler!

I saw Jim Norton at a grocery store on the Lower East Side yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

"Hello I'd like to buy your products"

"yOU d^o noT hav^e enuFe mOnni^e."

Jim is extremely delusional and will manipulatively add a detail to the story as to make him come out looking semi-rational and you mostly an asshole and in the wrong.

Same guy who lived at his parents until he was 30 (and only left because Jim Florentine guilted him to becoming his roommate) as well as never being able to hold a relationship, all he knew is you made boots for someone he idolized and assumed he cashed enough paychecks to buy anything he wants WHENEVER HE WANTS.

To his baby boy thought process, he heard "waiting list" and assume "people who payed more than you, are more important than you" and/or just assumed he could buy his way to the front of the line and when you said 4 months, he felt unimportant.

TL:DR Jim: "how dare this guy tell me 4 months! they're just fucking boots! who does he think he is!"

you...believed this? And then go on to insult anyone else about anything?

There's not enough norton bashing anyway

stop loying

Hey OP I specialize in 'No Mollusc' signs, want one?

Gotta wait until I get the special permanent marker pen to get delivered to the stationary store, 3 months tops. Need at least a grand deposit, you know how it is.

Can we see proof that thus wacky shop exists?

I have no online presence but simply come down to Elizabeth street and you will see the place.

Care to specify the city? Elizabeth St's are pretty common

Pretty sure it would be New York. It's the only place you can get away with referring to as "the city" in a non-regional forum.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Elizabeth+St,+New+York,+NY/@40.7206305,-73.9949763,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89c25988693e1087:0xd4742a2b75a330f6

Then this thread is a lie. He's been in Seattle since Thursday. In fact, I went to see him on Thursday, and his last show is tonight.

Gah! You should have waited for him to commit before dropping that hammer.

Fuck you're right. I just can't stand people who make shit up about people online just to score internet points. Pretty pathetic tbh

This is fucking weird. Fake but no peckahs or any payoff.

Anyone who believed this: Jim Norton was booked in Seattle last night and tonight. He didnt fly back here to go to a boot store.

Did you not see me post the a dress in multiple responses?

I think it's a funny schtick youre doing for sure, but it was a dumb move to specify that it happened today. Jimmy is in Seattle for the weekend. he had a show last night and another one tonight. EDIT: i didnt see what you were responding to so yeah i just said the same thing twice.

What are the odds? Look https://www.google.ca/maps/@47.5448035,-122.3178739,3a,75y,207.61h,101.95t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sibiaKwuIeWsUyYTwiCdgxQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1

It's still in the top 1% of made up stories on here. So congrats.

So obviously this is fake, but why would you post this? With so much detail?

I keep thinking it's an acronym or something, like the story was going to end with "read the first letter of every paragraph" or something and that would say "peckahs..." but I don't see any hidden message, I just see frighteningly detailed `tism.

When I was reading this I noticed weird random words in the middle of a sentence were capitalized for no reason, I though maybe they would spell something out to. OP why would you lie about this?

Guys if you just read the first letter of each paragraph it spells out

Imshhihieshwhhyt

I think it's pretty self explanatory

Well, I believe the part about Jimmy peeping through a glass panel and being curious.

I can't believe norton wears leather, won't ricky be upset?

Jim's a bitch. Plain and simple have a few drinks as a kid then spend your life acting like you've been through hell. He's a pussy and a retard, PUTARDED.

fairies try to wear boots and you've got to believe me

I got me a pair of Doc Martens.

If you are really looking for good but cheap boots look into Solovair. Made in the original DNS factory in England where Dr Martens were by the same staff. Around $230 dollars for them. Dr Martens use slave labour, terrible materials and are god awful.

Their Made in England range are made in the DNS factor by Solovair and just given a DM pull tag. Loake are another cheap store available choice. around $300.

[deleted]

Can you pic of the shoes he got?

He didn't get any shoes, he placed an order based on a rough draft, then came and canceled and took his deposit back.

Do you have a pic of the shoes you made for Steve McQueen?

I...I don't know what to believe.

Come down to my store and see for yourself.

So it's Saturday, you're drunk and you decided to use this sub to showcase your creative writing talents. Good work.

[deleted]

People don't like to learn they aren't important

remember that time he had a breakdown cause his plane was delayed

so is this guy for real or what? I cannot tell, his confidence is throwing me off. Like, why would you lie about this, but also, it's the Internet and everyone lies.

Of course it's a lie you mush brained fool.

When a guy's entire wardrobe seems to be t-shirts of bands an 11 year old in 1979 would like, why would he possibly spend $6000 on boots?

This was what I told him initially as I stated and recommended him to buy store available boots. The average price for boots from me is $6800 but the revised model based on the grunts last with cow hide reduced eyelets and cheaper composite outsole would of cost him about $3000.

You sound like a very fancy and important man.

Lmao, if you don't immediately think this is bullshit youre a moron

This sort of libel and slander would get a lunatic like you who spent all this time typing an elaborate lie, be sent defamation lawsuit messages by Mr. James Norton, sir.

If you had the notion of deliberation to see what a mistake it was to create this thread, you would take it down.

• Lawyer for Mr. James Norton

Jim has a disdain for anyone working in the service industry. He would constantly talk about bitching out CS reps on the phone to get preferential treatment. Everyone on the show seems like cunts to people in the service industry based on how they talked about it on air.

This is probably bullshit. Yet, I had fun reading it, sipping my k-cup coffee, eating a scone, waiting on a bowel movement from last nights beer, wings and burger parade, just imagining that my once high school comedy hero was a real jerk to some random, possibly ethnic boot artisan in NYC.

You've had world leaders come in, including two presidents yet you advertise through word of mouth? Wow. Just dumb like I guess your clients are so connected.

So, your plan was to move into the neighborhood, establish trust - for 48 years - and then run off with Jimmy's commando-soled seven eye leather boots?

You know it's a good Sein-roll when it doesn't get upvotes.

Fuck him. You don't need his business.

A lot of people don't understand the artisan timeline. We're so used to getting things now. Especially if there's a large sum of money involved.

You did the right thing, OP. Your craft and obligation to your clientele comes before this whiny baby's wants.

Maybe he got cold feet, or somethin', and figured 6 grand would be better spend on craigslist whores.

So he went and pulled this powermove instead of begging for a refund like some worm-like creature.

This is no surprise. Jim only respects famous people and thinks nothing of callers, interns, fans, etc., this is painfully obvious from listening to the show. I'm sorry you ever thought he would like you.

You must have a shitty life to make this up and then take the time to actually type it up and post it.

Update*

I got the following email from Jim today.

Hey I am sorry about my behaviour the last time we met. I had a situation the evening of and was in a terrible mood and I took it out on you.

Thanks for the time you showed me and once again apologies.

He has also offered me tickets to his show in NY on the 18th where I can confirm I will be attending. I am going to be wearing my leather jacket and jeans, anyone who attends can check the story out with me and jim.

Thanks guys.

Wow, so it was true!

Post screen shots of the email

Why are you taking deposits on stuff you know is 4 months out for materials? What are the materials anyway? Some shark that's got to be killed? His refund probably saved some poor rhino a bullet to the head.

If this story is true maybe Jim's new pro-animal (look Ricky I'm like you) stance had something to do with it.

I take deposits as do most Bespoke craftsmen because most people wont pay $1500 to then vanish without paying or collecting, having me spent a couple grand making boots for them.

I don't even know

Kinda bummed to hear what happened, but also surprised such an uppercrust businessman would listen to the show.

Horseshit confirmed, great place for a shoe shop, you buffoon. https://www.google.com/maps/place/S+Elizabeth+St,+Seattle,+WA+98108/@47.5448088,-122.3182868,3a,75y,284.33h,69.72t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sgy3B17KMeiHVUTmEG_DWkA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3Dgy3B17KMeiHVUTmEG_DWkA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D100%26h%3D80%26yaw%3D164.57941%26pitch%3D0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x549041ecda6cb1c1:0x2cb592942bede9a6

No one else noticed Troll Motors on Elizabeth St ?

I'm absolutely shocked. I had no idea at all that slimy little worms had feet.

He probably ran a quick Intellius background check on you and discovered you're a convicted pedophile and wanted nothing to do business with one.

This is Godtier b8

He's clearly gay and repressing it. Even the family dog knew.

Should have been a chip roll

hmmmm

Theory: is this fictional event a reference to paycheck. All he really wanted in this end was his paycheck (deposit)

So you make fishboots?

Nobody likes a snitch

You make $6000 boots, but you're concerned if you offended Jim Norton? Serous?

You sound like a wound up faggot.

I find this hard to believe since Jim has been in Seattle since Thursday. He's performing at The Parlor August 13th-16th.

I have made one of a kind footwear, belts, braces and jackets for some of the richest people in the world including several members of Middle Eastern Royalty, two Presidents and a prime minister.

If you're this great, why in the hell do you hang around on THIS sub-reddit site?

Fake and gay.

Steve McQueen died in 1980

I don't have the attention span to read through this entire contrived story. Are you on medication, sir?

The autism on this sub is off the charts now

What a terrible, terrible post. Shame on you sir.

BOOT DIVA!

[deleted]

Since Steve McQueen died well over 25 years ago, this is horseshit. The man behind this is nothing short of insane.

Street view Obvious lie is obvious.

Too bad there's no store like you're describing on Elizabeth street. I don't need to google it, you're just straight up lying.

Damn, I love a good adventure!

If I wanted to read a novel i would have gone to the library.

It's bad enough OP can't come up with a better bullshit story, but he's accusing little Jimmy of ripping off Dennis Leary on top of it?

for shame, OP, for shame!!

Never meet your heroes. It's a thing my grandfather told me, and it's truer today.

Most of my extremely famous clients I never meet they have their people give me the details and measurements etc. However I did meet Alan Rickman, Anthony Bourdain and Idris Elba. I also met Carlos Quieros and had lunch with him and Garry Neville. All were very nice.

Too bad his dad died eh?

I think he's a piece of shit irl probably. Don't sweat it.

u can easily turn him around tho, you pay him or u are a young chick

Chick with a dick.

I love how dealing with presidens and Sheiks don't bother you, but the minute a midget from the radio down the street shows up you lose your shit. Ok. Also, if you have so much shit going on that he'd have to wait like half a year for you to get those boots done, why do you need plugs in the first place? How much longer are they going to have to wait as the requests go up? Do they have to order 4 years ahead of time? And asking for a plug without even doing anything is pretty pathetic to be honest. He was upset at that point, wanted his money back, and you're gonna ask for a plug on the show? Are you serious? And now you hope he brings it up on the air to somehow get your plugs? No offense, you're a joke. Ask one of your fancy customers from the united kingdom to hook you up with a couple dollars to buy some airtime and stop whining. Your story really makes no sense.

Where is your shop relative to the Vint & York there on Elizabeth? Or what's your closest cross street?

Oh, wait, nevermind - I see you already got busted when people mentioned Jim was in Seattle.

Go lick a peckah.

For those seriously thinking i had nothing better to do than make up an elaborate story for the hell of it, ask Jim yourselves. See what he has to say about the situation.

I'm sure he will tell us how he teleported from Seattle to new York and back so he could buy shitty boots

OP has said he's in Seattle (after someone pointed out that Jimmy is in Seattle not New York) and there is a place on Elizabeth St., Seattle where OP claims he is located called "Troll Motors" (a Saab dealership). So I kinda have to respect OP for this troll, because he knew he would get called out on the Seattle thing and had already prepared.

8/10, good troll.

His op says he was "in the city". New York is the only place I know of called the city. No one would say that and mean seattle

Eh everyone that lives near a big city would say "in the City" but to say in online like that is strange, I wouldn't even consider New York to be acceptable as the default city (although if any city was going to be it would be NY). I assumed NY cos that's where Jimmy lives, but if I wanted to purposelly mislead I would say it the way OP said it.

Yimmy is a worm. The fact that he is a tortured soul that appears to be unhappy is rightful justice for the way he treats others.

Ok guys I am off to bed I have been working since 6 in the morning. I will respond to anyone I missed tomorrow. First person to check on the store gets a free custom O&A belt buckle or any other buckle related to O&A (no racist stuff etc)

Jim is in Seattle today so he didn't come into your store seven hours ago

The amount of shoe research he must have done is fucking staggering.

Elizabeth street Seattle just across from carlton Ave.

Ya, somehow I don't believe an elite level, artisinal (or whatever you might call it) boot cobbler to the stars would listen to fucking Opie and Jim. I imagine the fine programming over at NPR would be more their speed.

Kinda? I was counting on after reading that for so long

Yeah when he said he thought his stand up was funny was when I got suspicious.

Shoes of all things. Why shoes?
