I said Joel invented the VERSION Ronn used. Major difference. Contact Ronn and offer to purchase the rights for the mask. See what happens. Contact Joel and ask him exactly what the agreement was between he and Ronn. Ask Joel what rights, if any, he maintained. You assume way too much there Buzz. After Terry made the announcement in 2008, I contacted him about it. An interesting conversation by e-mail that will remain personal. I'm done here Buzz, you seem not to understand the points I made and I'm not sure how I can clarify them further. Tom |

I understand the points clearly, I am not assuming anything, with every post I am learning more; I am asking more questions to fully understand the facts |

Oops! In my last post, I meant to quote Philip saying "Isn't this fun?", but instead just quoted his name - oh well!
You know the more I think about it, can someone sue me for standing and holding a figure, or for doing a routine where I stand and hold a figure? Or maybe both. The first person to stand and hold a figure could sue, and the first person to do a routine standing and holding a figure could sue - they might not necessarily be the same person. Could be an interesting correlation there.

Tom, I think Buzz is just trying to untie a Gordian knot and engaging in a little conversation in order to learn.

Dang - I bit. Okay Buzz. I'm glad you are learning. But everything I say is based on conversations I have had with others. Everything others say is based on their conversations with others. All of it, tinted with our interpretations and thoughts.
A long time back, when we were discussing performance rights and about asking permissions, someone brought up a performer who they thought stole a routine. I pointed out that the performer personally knew the person they supposedly stole the routine from. We have no idea if the two developed it together, if one gave the other permssion, or what. Unless you know the back story and talk to one of the people involved, you just don't know. So - if you have questions about the legality of it all - personally contact Ronn and Joel. You can find them - its not that hard. Get the story directly from them. THEN, you will know. Servante & Blueshawk1 - I'm starting to find myself wishing I was two decades in the future! ;-) |

No, stick around, Tom. We may be able to get you some money for inventing standing and holding your figure. For one thing, Blue's gonna owe ya somethin'.

Remember: Buzz is new to all of this. It's actually made me think a little about the history. I had to go look up Russell's innovation.

I will not contact Ronn only because I don’t want to start a process that may have him decide he again needs to protect his “rights”. Like Las Vegas “ what is said here stays here”. But you are exactly the guy to answer my questions about this since as you say, you have had many conversations. About Ronn not threatening anyone about using a mask, I AM NOW ASSUMING by my own deductions and nothing anyone has said to me; that the first time he did have his attorney write a letter he was so badly injured by the impression that he was attempting to bully Bill, he decided it was not worth his reputation to continue to defend it. My ASSUMPTION ONLY |

Philip -
Although you have been doing it since the age of four, I obtained the idea by agreeing to give a dollar to Ken Groves who, using parallel thinking claimed to have developed the concept in an elevator based on a poster that was plastered against the wall. I never gave Ken the dollar but people assume I did and their belief is all that matters. I did popularize it on the Internet by placing a video of me walking on stage in the early 90's. Since you never thought to create this trail AND you did not make it popular, I therefore claim all rights. My attorney, who is busy on an important case will be in touch as soon as I can reach him. ;) |

Tom, it sounds fair to me, Philip pay up, I have not walked on a stage yet, so I need not pay, but I will find someway around it when the time comes

Buzz--I recommend either diving or driving onstage.
Tom--The check's in the mail. It may take awhile as I simply put your profile picture on the envelope as an address. -Philip |

Philip;
The way I feel some mornings, crawling on a stage is best; then climbing up my super secret figure stage that I will not advertise for fear of someone duplicating it and grasping Dan to start my original routine that I will not advertise for fear of someone duplicating it and I will start my show I don’t even allow the little children to repeat my line as they laugh hysterically at my funny jokes and comments |

Should probably dose 'em with some sort of amnesia drug before they leave.
