Reconstructing the Ringo Time Line

A certain chimp who we'll call Lord Baldemort has caused quite a stir. He has made several claims regarding the coining of the nickname Ringo. I will present his claims, then reconstruct the time line of events.

The Ape's Claims

  • The name Beatle was used first, but was changed to Ringo within the same day
  • This happened at Christmas while everyone from New Jersey was visiting Utah
  • The Ape was present during the trip and during the occurrence
  • The occurrence happened at the mullet apartment
  • The person to coin the name Ringo was from New Jersey
  • Quin had the Beatle haircut during this time
  • Quin's reply, "I'm not Ringo, I'm Quinny Ringo" was made some time after the first use of the nickname


The Time Line

  • October 1999 - Quin is born
  • Christmas 2000 - Quin is just over a year old and can most likely say "mommy," daddy," and "ball." Mom just moved into the mullet apartment. The New Jersey crowd spends the holidays in Utah. Celine surprises Pete with a Christmas present in Utah: herself.
  • August/September 2001 - Gorilla boy comes to Utah to go on his mission
  • October 3, 2001 - The bald one enters the MTC (shown below holding Quin sporting a Ringo-like haircut)
  • October 6, 2001 - Quin turns 2 years old
  • Christmas 2001 - The Utah group enjoys Christmas alone. The New Jersey group is in NJ with dad.
  • July 2002 - Mom moves to house
Things to Consider
  • Did a NJ hero leave his legacy by coining this name during a fly-by-night trip?
  • Did this happen during the 2000 Christmas trip when Don Prickles was present and Quin was just barely a year old?
  • Was Quin's hair even long enough to be called a Beatle when she was barely over a year old?
  • Did this happen right before Cactus Jack entered the MTC when everyone else was in NJ?
  • Were the names Beatle and Ringo actually introduced on the same day or was the name Beatle used for some time before?
  • How long did the name Ringo last? If she couldn't speak when the name was first used, did the name live on long enough for her to give her famous reply?
I have presented the Bald Eagle's claims and the facts surrounding this case. I leave it up to you to decide.

In light of this overwhelming evidence provided by Chris I think it is safe to say that Tom's claims are baseless and need to be disregarded in this case. Considering this humiliation I think he has suffered a major blow to his credibility for future disputations. Well done Chris "the insult king"

I am not trying to take sides. I am merely a fact-finder. Let the jury review the evidence. I think we should use this as a forum for public trials and public humiliation. As Insult King, I would be happy to lead the humiliation once the verdict is in.

So chris claims Quin's hair wasn't long enough at Christmas time. Yet Lindsey claims Chris made up the name way before Christmas time. Is this supposed to help or hurt Chris's argument? It's like the blind leading the blind. Maybe we need to leave out the "eye wittnes" accounts on this one, considering noone involved can lend any credibility. My rebuttle shall be given shortly.

The angry ape told me on the phone today that his case has been hurt badly because he didn't realize that Quin was only 14 months old at Christmas. He thinks that this may have occurred some 10 months later right before his mission. Who is blind now? Looks like the cactus got pricked by his own prickle. I'm calling the bishop.
