The dorm was torn down in 2008

Thanks for the info and link! This thread is so long that we forget stuff that was posted in it sometimes.

Those dorms sound like they weren't exactly in the best condition, as Sweet described them.

Sweets crying over his old dorm being demolished makes me laugh. So congrats Sweets, you've contributed one useful thing to the world.

However, I got another very nasty surprise last month in the mail--the ASU Alumni newsletter. It informed me that earlier this summer they tore down the Seminole Twin Towers. It seems the building was festooned with mold and filth and thus demed [sic] unsafe and uninhabitable.

I wonder if Jon has considered that he may have been the source of the mold -- and quite a bit of the filth -- that caused his beloved dorm to be destroyed. Based on the photos and descriptions he's posted of his mom's his residence in Blytheville, it sounds like the Twin Towers were a true home away from home for Our Hero.

It looks like Sweet saw the dorms he stayed in as worth preserving like a historic hall at an Ivy League school. Also, even IF Sweet were let back in AND the old dorms were still up, there's an obvious issue that seems to only elude Sweet.

"OK guys, we're moving you to another room. Some guy who lived here in the late 90s wants this college dorm room to be his permanent residence."

And of course Sweet seemed to wax fondly about the stench of urine in the place, as well as "barely legal" girls vomiting.

A lot of universities built high-rise dorms back in the 60s and 70s and later found them hard to maintain. I too lived in a high-rise dorm, which was torn down in 2006, for much the same reason as Sweet's dorm was. It was replaced with a larger number of smaller but easier to maintain low-rise dorms. I wasn't particularly attached to it, and it was rather run down. The elevators were a crap shoot on whether or not they would work, and the place just generally wasn't in good shape. I'm honestly surprised that they lasted as long as they did.

In that "Fekul The Baby" site, Sweet compares the SNL sketch to the story of the Golden Plates of Mormonism -- only certain people supposedly saw it, and then the number of people who believed in it grew.

 

[DrJonesHat]

The sketch exists. It's available on YouTube. Sweet's whole "I haven't seen it, therefore it doesn't exist" thing is both indicative of arrogance and autism. There are lots of things I haven't seen that I know exist. He's also argued for people who've linked him to the damn thing, that it's fake. That's right, he thinks NBC colluded with a small, third-rate university to produce a fake sketch for the sole purpose of discrediting him. There's evidence that narcissism and autism are on the same spectrum, and for Sweet to think that he's so important that ASU would do something like that is proof in that direction. He's incapable of being original, so I have no doubt he stole the idea from the sketch (and he's such a TV junkie that I'm sure he watched SNL back in the mid-90s when it was really good). His confession is on file, as referenced by the guy who told him to stop contacting him. It's not like they needed the plagiarism incident to kick him off the Herald staff, they had plenty of other reasons to can him, that's just what they chose to use.

EDIT: A while back, just for kicks, I compiled a list of things Sweets believes. The sketch being fake was one of them.

There are lots of things I have seen that don't exist. I blame LSD for at least some of them.

To force Phillip Scott Mitchell--who, whether through unwitting incompetence or deliberate treachery, leveed [sic] the damaging and false charge of plagiarism against me on February 5, 1997--to admit there is no sketch and to name any masterminds or accomplices in the deception and subsequent coverup [sic].

Levee: a reception held by a person of distinction on rising from bed; an afternoon assembly at which the British sovereign or his or her representative receives only men; a reception usually in honor of a particular person; a continuous dike or ridge (as of earth) for confining the irrigation areas of land to be flooded; an embankment for preventing flooding; a river landing place.

The word is not even a verb, for cryin' out loud.

Maybe he meant levied?

Levy: impose a tax fee or fine; (archaic) enlist someone for military service.

Maybe not. You can neither levee nor levy an allegation. You level an accusation. For those keeping score, this is Example No. 1,328 of Sweet using what he imagines to be the diction of an intellectual without having any idea what the word means.

Same deal, but it was hydrocodone for me.

On a serious note, unless Sweet starts engaging us again, I think this thread will wither away. I would love to know what prompted such a serious change in behavior for a man who is vehemently opposed to change, but I'm guessing we'll never know. Ah well.

 

[TowinKarz]

Because he's spent 20 years whining and we STILL haven't admitted he's right yet? Perhaps?

 

[MarineTrainedTard]

You know, I find something oddly comforting about Sweet. Around the world, governments disintegrate, new and exciting (and sometimes scary) technologies emerge, new horrifying strains of diseases mutate, species go extinct, people are born, people die..... but Jonathan Mack Sweet will always, always be sitting in his mother's house, complaining about a SNL skit that "doesn't exist", and demanding his right to chinaphone and buffet meals be restored.

Sweet is one of the few constants in life.

 

[DrJonesHat]

Sweet is the most thoroughly incompetent individual I have ever encountered, but he does serve one useful purpose. He is a stark reminder of the dangers of harboring grudges. He is a man completely destroyed by his envy of others.

Perhaps he's finally been lassoed by a professional tard wrangler, one with a few silver belt buckles won on the Professional Tard Wranglers Rodeo Circuit. Sweet doubtless spergs out about this thread, and the tard wrangler has probably reined him in and told him not to "sharpen his claws" on us any longer. Sweet's recent admission that he was not the ASU dining hall's King of Comedy also reveals a rare instance of his accepting an obvious reality; the odds are long against his having reached this conclusion by relying on his own feeble powers of ratiocination. I think we can be pretty certain that there's a new tard wrangler ridin' herd on the lolcows of Mississippi County, Arkansas. Ti yi yippee yippee yay.

He is the best argument I've ever seen against it.

Seriously, you can argue against grudge-holding a lot of ways. You can go all Christian. You can do it Gandhi-style. It's just wrong. It's mean.

But this guy really lays it on the line. Keep doing it and you'll end up like this guy.

That's the best argument against grudges.

Wast it @DrJonesHat that said the Sweet family may have had an intervention?

Maybe Sweet powerleveled about ASU this and steak and quail that and Kiwis this and make a shop owner pay that and on and on during the Sweet Family holiday get together, and that's what made them hold an intervention soon after? It could be that Sweet now has a social worker (like Dr. M suggests) as a result of said intervention.

Sweet is one of the few constants in life.

War Sweet. War Sweet never changes.

 

[DrJonesHat]

I think that's probably what happened. Sweet recently posted that he plans to be back at ASU within a year, and I'm sure he spergs about his grand plans offline as well. Remember he thinks we cracked the conspiracy wide open, and that he's going to return to ASU in triumph. I suspect he ranted about these things increasingly as the holidays wore on, and his mom couldn't stand to hear it any longer. I wonder if she got his brothers together to offer protection since Sweet has been known to become aggressive when confronted.

I think Mama Sweet (or one of his brothers) googled low-cost mental health care in their area, and sat Jon down and explained to him that he was going to see a therapist whether he wanted to or not, and no, this did not mean he was going back to ASU. That therapist must be very good to have already disabused Sweet of the notion that he was popular at ASU. They need to proceed very carefully, because the impossible dream of returning to ASU is what has sustained Sweet for nearly 20 years. To rip that away without providing some sort of replacement belief system would be cruel, and possibly life threatening. With medication and therapy, he could be significantly happier than he is now. Might even be able to hold a job. But one thing at a time. He would need some serious life-skills coaching to be able to function on his on his own, and a job coach to learn how to behave on the job. Just throwing him into a workplace environment would be a recipe for failure.

If that time travel comic is any indication, he definitely has.

Theory on the steak issue:

There's a "Steak and Cheese" Hot Pocket variety. Sweet eats Hot Pockets all the time. At ASU they probably served sliced steak as something you could put on a sandwich, like a Philly Cheesesteak, and this may be what he's talking about. Doesn't mean he was served filet minion in the "caf" though.

(I have no idea where he got the quail idea, though, unless it's just something he misidentified. Several species are domesticated and raised as livestock, and it's usually not a delicacy, yet it's uncommon to serve in the US because chickens and turkeys yield a lot more meat.)

He may be dumb enough to think that's what buffalo wings are....
