• He can go to hell.
• Too blunt?
• He can't make his mortgage payments doing stand-up? I, for one, am shocked. And how DARE he try to latch on to the 'Free Wynona' movement. At least she some sort of mental condition combined with a glorious rack.
• What Chyren said.
• Put foam on an orphan.
• You are telling me that with Saved By the Bell being on TV around the world that he doesn't get residuals? Boo hoo...
• You only get residuals for one repeat, in some cases. Depends on what the contract says.
• Some old contracts didn't give people any.
• There you go! /slaps knee
• He can always try doing porn.
• Screech does Wisconsin. I want to get paid for the time it took me to read that miniscule white-on-black sob-story. Send Chy money!
• He can always try doing porn. Somehow, I'd almost be willing to watch that. Pay for it, even. Especially if it were gay pr0n. It would be like looking at a car wreck. so horrifying...yet can't...look away...
• Yes, send ME money. I am a legitimate working man, without a high falutin' lawyer, & I have several real crippling diseases that are not my fault. Also, I'm better looking than this shmo.
• Ah, that Screech! Remember that one episode where Screech said something really nerdly and romantic to that one girl and she was really embarrassed and then she had such a crush on that one other guy who was always picking on him? That was hilarious! Sorry, Dustin. Those halcyon Save Karyn days are over. Suck it up and find one of your famous pals to cover your debt for awhile.
• *clickety clackety*
• I just bought one, he brought me much joy as a youth. Good on him. In addition I read too much Peter Singer.
• Time to pay the piper Arthur. You shouldn't have f...ed with the Dman. Dag, Screech throwin' down, yo.
• "Pay the piper"? Dude goes on and on about his shitty credit, and forclosure -- he's not paying his own damn piper. Pipers. Something tells me he didn't pay Arthur the Lawyer either. Remember, kids, when you don't pay your lawyer, that's when you get Seriously Fucked. It only costs him his time to sue your ass, and he'll always have time for that...
• I didn't realize property values were so high in Wisconsin. Has he been employed at all since...that show?
• What Capn Renault said. about Winona
• I got the sense from his sob story (and I'll admit that I don't know from real estate law and he's slanting the story in his favor) that he had been paying his bills but that he had some weird kind of contract that the bank called back b/c they saw more dollar signs with someone else. What's a land contract, in other words?
• That...is that real? Somehow it seems like it must be a stunt. Plus, he doesn't look anything like he did when he was Screech. For starters, he doesn't appear to be that bad-looking now (the photo's not so easy to tell). Weird. I don't really sympathize about the credit, unless maybe his managers/parents gave him bad advice or took advantage of him when he was younger and famous. Bizarre all around.
• Oh, and thursday, didn't you see Celebrity Boxing 2? (I know I did. I loooove me some bad reality tv.)
• Send money to someone who really needs it
• Kral needs to talk to the social services or finance people at the hospital. There may be programs that can help him out.
• Too blunt? That's wonderful, Chy! I'm sure everyone has noticed how Chy and I have started a new era of gentle rebukes and enfolding love in our recent posts. That said, do I believe that sob story? F**K NO! He can bluntly go to hell.
• He was on four years of regualr Saved By the Bell and seven (SEVEN?) years of "Saved By the Bell: the New Class," and residuals started being standard since 1960 (according to this article on residuals at any rate) and According to that same article, residuals are paid every time the show airs. Even though he was a child actor and probably didn't make that much per episode, he was on television for 11 years. Now I'm a grad student and I'm making less than $13000 a year, so no matter how little he gets from royalties, I'm betting it is still more money for stuff he did more than a decade ago than I'm getting from, you know, teaching people. You'll have to forgive me if I seem a little insensitive. That being said, I'm not entirely sure this is real. It seems so oddly worded and strange that it just smells like a scam.
• Well, the star trek actors didn't get any residuals from repeats, nor any royalties from use of their images on mugs & tshirts, so I'm thinking that it's not cut & dried.
• Well, the star trek actors didn't get any residuals from repeats That's because they live in the 23rd Century and haven't been born yet. YOU IDIOT. But when they came back to our time to kidnap a whale, they were up to their nuts in Crystal and Ice.
• Hey, if we all send each other $1 each, we'll get rich!
• I saw Saved by the Bell once when I was unemployed. I got a job.
• According to this random website back when the original Star Trek was made the actors got residuals for a limited time. Since then SAG got the contract changed so that residuals go on forever.
• I won't post again in this thread if everyone sends me $5.00.
• Heck, I'll send him money for a shave and a haircut (he's in need of both), but he can live on the street as far as I'm concerned. No matter how he slants that story, he still comes across as an idiot. If he manages to save his house, he'll find another way to screw up and loose it, might as well get that step out of the way and begin to enjoy the life of the homeless in the cold north while the weather is warm enough to start collecting big cardboard boxes and piles of insulating newspapers.
• Dude, you are HARSH. Screech may be a loser, but he's one of the guys. And we stick together - whatever happens. I remember that time you got caught masturbating Mr Slater's hamster - and who took the fall for you? Screech did - you HOSER. Now our buddy needs a new set o' shoes and you're all too la-de-da to reach into your pocket. You just go back to your new friends - Kelly and Brandon and Dylan - we don't NEED your pity. We've got one another. You goddam hamster fucker.
• quid...you're confused, man. That was a lab rat... the hamster was that other kid...Richard something..... ahhh... Richard ...ah.. oh yeah, Greer, Richard Greer.
• Boo-freakin-hoo. The intarweb continues to produce scams from lazy has-beens. Then again...I suppose I could cook up my own gimme-money website...
• Monkeyfilter: scams from lazy has-beens
• I don't wanna be no has-been! I wanna be a is-be!
• U a all'at.
• wisconsin, eh? i didnt know mr diamond was living nearby. port washington is ok -- quaint, even -- but fairly ordinary. properties on lake michigan tends to be a little pricier, though the views are always lovely. maybe i'll give him a call and see if he wants to sleep on the couch or something
• Just don't expect us to help out when he trashes your place! People like this are the reason we can't have nice things.
• Port Washington was the setting for Step by Step.
• Good God - home of Step by Step _and_ Screech - Port Washington is clearly built on the equivalent in American television comedy of an Indian burial ground.
• Screech is moving on to adult-film acting. ...word is that the action includes some bodily functions and an act known as a "Dirty Sanchez."
