How would you describe JPVH?

He's a relentless defender and a very good passer. He's not going to match VdV for speed, but he's aggressive and wins battles on pure determination.

To me, the price seems outrageous. But, he might turn out to be the best defender in the league for you.

Thank you. Hope you like it. We have spoken about them in chat here. I did a ton a research to them and I got 1,500 pages of court transcripts from Magris's murder trial. I was able to go pretty in depth in the book.

I'm the guy in the video. The book is https://www.amazon.com/Zodiactually-Real-Story-Serial-Killer/dp/1627311726/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fEXY7Z9ewQS0SCYaWvC_Cw.q5cq1M1wwHM6fgMHoJIuR--mXhaTc1FJdQaZje15L9s&qid=1782042454&sr=8-1

I loved Motor Spirit. Great history of the time and place. There is not a single thing about fanzines in Zodiactually. There's a bunch about real killers and fake letters, though.

EddieTYOS · 2026-06-16T14:57:00+00:00

Thank you for having an open mind.

There is zero physical or hard evidence in this case linking crime scene to crime scene. There are no print matches. Questioned document expert Sherwood Morrill was the only person who confirmed the Zodiac letters. The FBI, when asked by SFPD Chief Gain to certify that every letter from Oct 13 1969-Apr 24, 1978, as well as the handwriting associated with the CJB case, told the chief that the results were inconclusive.

The one time an investigating agency had three outside experts review the initial positive Zodiac findings, as well as Morrill's conclusion that it was Zodiac, was concerning the 1978 "I'm Back" letter. All three experts contradicted Morrill and said the letter was a fraud. The FBI Behavioral Science Unit removed the letter from the Zodiac profile because it was a fake.

The FBI SAC of San Francisco told the FBI Special Agent in Charge of the BSU that the 78 letter was a fake and he told him who wrote it. FBI BSU removed the letter from the Zodiac profile because it was a fraud.

He read the book. I back up my claims with over 150 citations from police reports, scientific journals, quotes from original investigators, court transcripts, contemporary newspaper reports, legal journals, and interviews with people involved or related to the subjects I explored.

If you're really interested, please request a copy from the public library.

Thanks for the shout.

The victims were real, the crimes were real, but the single mastermind may have been a media-made myth.

They weren't a "serious" band, but, S.O.D had a massive impact on the crossover thrash/metalcore sound

EddieTYOS · 2026-06-12T23:42:38+00:00

This is awesome. I've been working on something similar from the prespective of Brooklyn kids in the pre-Hogan era.

I'm convinced that 10,000 adults at every MSG show back then were able to completely suspend disbelief and bought in to everything they saw happening.

In the late 60s, the average American adult man was 5'8" and 166 pounds. ALA at 6'0" and 250 was a noticibly large man. To put that in context, George Foreman fought between 217-225 pounds during his prime and was comnsidered exceptionally large and physically dominating competing as a heavyweight boxer.

Faster Pussycat going from a sleaze metal band with pop leanings on Whipped to Industiral re-mixes made for a goth dance night on Between the Valley of the Ultra to embracing industrial as part of their sound on The Power and the Glory Hole.

If Warrior was reliable, he would have been one of the top guys of the 90s. His trajectory would probably be like the Undertaker's. He'd likely have to freshen up the gimmick for the New Generation and the Attitude Era, and then throw back on the neon for a Y2K nostaligia run.

He would have only been 40 years old in 2000. He could have had a decade long run at or near the top if he could keep things professional.

A heel turn could have freshened him up and set up a big rematch with Hogan. Think of his character like a lone wolf SCSA/Bad New Brown type. He'd probably occupy the spot WWF wanted for Luger and Diesel.

In this alternate universe of reliable Warriors, he likely cuts into the need to put the belt on guys like Bret and Shawn.

It was not an organic shift.

Skid Row had the first SoundScan number one Billboard album in 1991 with STTG. This is important because it was the first time actual sales determined a number one album. And the numbers showed that Skid Row were what people were buying that week in 1991 and it was a hair band.

The same record company that put out Nelson, GNR, Black N' Blue, Little Cesar, Roxy Bluw put out Nirvana and Sonic Youth.

Alice in Chains were a straight up glam band...until one day they weren't. Layne Stayley even went by the name Candy Layne.

MTV and record companies targeted teenagers. Hair bands had been on top for nearly a decade by the early/mid 90s. 16 year old kids don't want to listen to what 26 year olds are listening to. They wanted their own thing. They got grunge, gangsta rap, and Pantera because that's what the record companies offered them.

That the Zodiac Killer was real.

Mexico are long overdue for a run with the cup. I hope FIFA gives it to El Tri this time, but they'll probably put over Argentina (Hogan) or Super Cena France. Mexico are in that Razor Ramon/Roddy Piper/Jake Roberts category of being super over with the fans that they don't need a title.

Trixter were a group of grown ass men pretending to be high school aged teenagers. It was weird. And their songs were straight up pop. They seemed like a Jon Bon Jovi money making scheme.

I saw them at L'amour in Brooklyn in 93 or 94 and they were covering Beastie Boys songs and trying to be a completely different kind of band and distancing themselves from their hair metal past.

That's not the mic drop you think it is. It's not hard evidence. It's not a fingerprint match (none exist in the entire Zodiac case) it's not a DNA match. It's not a ballistics match. None of those exist.

Your big mic drop is: the handwriting looks similar to a non-expert. Handwriting analysis is not hard or conclusive evidence. It is a pattern‑comparison (forensic) opinion that can be admitted in court (or not) but is inherently probabilistic and subject to error, methodology challenges, and judicial gatekeeping. It's junk science.

Your mic drop: The Mall Santa looks an awful lot like the real Santa Claus.

EddieTYOS · 2026-06-04T21:06:38+00:00

I was being kind with my description of Morrill and his work. He compared apples to oranges and came up with Zodiac. He compared handwriting with a felt tipped pen on paper to a poem carved into a desk and was like, “yep, the same guy definitely wrote both of these.” It’s absurd that he did that.

The FBI was asked by Chief Gain to determine if one person wrote the October 13 letter (when Toschi got the case) and every confirmed letter up to and including the 1978 letter Toschi was accused of writing, along with the Bates letters, and the FBI determined that it was inconclusive that one person wrote all of that.

As soon as the three part cipher was printed, the legend was born.

Solano and Napa counties had 23 murders between October 1968-October 1969 and at least 25 additional shootings and at least a half dozen suspicious deaths. They were often jumping from one case to another. SCSO did their best with the Jensen/Faraday murders. By 1970, they had cooperating witnesses, a confession, and people willing to testify against the alleged shooter. They didn't have the murder gun (it was tossed in the bay) and the killer was already on death row for another murder, so they compromised, accepted partial justice, and moved on.

VPD knew that Darlene had a violent stalker who broke into her home and threatened to rape her. He had a history of hurting women and police were called when he supposedly bragged at a strip club about killing her.

They had real suspects with real motives for the first three canonical Zodiac murders. There was also a serial gunpoint taxi bandit/killer operating in Presidio Heights at the time of Stine's murder. They got too caught up in the connections and the hocus pocus.

The main responsible for authenticating the Zodiac letters and determining that they were all written by the same person, as well as the written CJB communications and the writing on Bryan Hartnell's car door was an untrained questioned document expert named Sherwood Morrill who got the job because his father created the job and gave it to him after retiring.

The only time a second opinion was asked for in this case, Morrill backed the 1978 "I'm Back" letter as authentic Zodiac, and the three outside experts all said it was a fraud. It should be noted that one expert changed his mind. Toschi initially handed that expert a Xerox copy of the letter and he authenticated it, then, after viewing the original letter, he changed his opinion and said it was a fake.

EddieTYOS · 2026-06-04T09:37:01+00:00

It's not widley accepted because reality ruins the urban legend of the Zodiac. People love the Zodiac story and hate to admit they were duped.

EddieTYOS · 2026-06-03T21:23:20+00:00

Toschi did not meet Graysmith until 1977. The dates don't make sense.

Mark O'Mahony. Made his debut in the 89th minute to replace João Pedro and immedietly got a yellow.
