Here's some biographical information that might explain the delusions.
One day when little Immie was in kindergarten they had a Sports Day. At the end of the day they handed out participation ribbons. He ran home excitedly and said "Mommy, look what I won!" She dutifully mounted and framed it and hung it in his room. Every day for years he woke in the morning and chanted "I won, I won!"
Fast forward many years to recently and we see that he has now moved to the basement. While perusing Terb, he came across this entertaining thread. Coincidentally, he was eating a box of Crackerjacks at the same time. Well, we can all guess what the prize in the box was, can't we? A tiny shiny plastic toy trophy! Breathlessly, he ran upstairs and yelled "Mommy,look what I won!

Is the bed time story over yet ? Let me see that book ... oh look - a few pages are stuck together .. you missed a part of the story.
Grade 1 had a Sports day and as he did last year, Immie who was very popular with the girls and teaches easily won over the other little boys. This year they gave out a red ribbon for first place but the little boys got nothing and were jealous of Immie's little red ribbon. They made fun of the size of the ribbon.
The hot sexy teacher gathered all the boys together and lectured them:
Listen boys, don't pout about losing to Emmie - there can only be one winner and it's Emmie. The size of the prize is irrelevant - what is important is that he has a ribbon and you have none, nothing, nada. He won and earned it while you have yet to make an effort to cross the finish line yourselves. The hot teacher put Emmie on her lap and told the boys 'people like winners, not cry babies !'

Breathlessly, he ran upstairs and yelled "Mommy,look what I won! He ran out to his friends who were emptying their box of cracker jacks - 'look what I won ! - what did you get ?' The boys shook their head - 'nothing - we won nothing ... but your prize is small anyway'
'Yes' Emmie responded remembering the hot teacher - 'but I won and you lost' Moral of Story : Something is better than nothing !
Well, two items I see in this statement........he likes to win over little boys.....and teaches easily in grade 1.IM469;5751008[I said:
The delusion continues, especially since he thinks he could teach when he was in grade 1.
Tsk tsk....
Some would say we should play along with his delusion, but I think it healthier we continue to refute his delusion and keep him grounded.
It's indeed sad that Immie makes up alternative facts. He won't acknowledge the fact that EVERYONE got a participation ribbon. And that his Grade 1 teacher made him sit by himself in the corner for the whole year for his self centred and belligerent behaviour.
That he found the little toy trophy in the Crackerjack box suggests he won this thread indicates his condition is only getting more serious.

So in your alternate reality - you were there ? You handed the ribbons out ? You sat beside me as I opened the the crackerjack box ? If you were not there ... who's memories are you recalling ? ... oh wait .. this can't be about me .. of course ... it's about you !!
So why not relax and let's sort these problems out ...
You never won prizes, contests or anything that that would give you recognition among the other kids...
Your crackerjack box had a little pink doll, someone got a trophy - you were so jealous that you began to hate that trophy ..
And now a contest you thought couldn't be won is over ... and a chance to add to the congratulatory portion of the thread is too much ... you breakdown
Childhood memories and insecurities spill out like water out of a broken dam..
There, there ....... don't have to congratulate IM469 on the win ... nor do you have to relive your childhood with tales of your childhood ....
Out of the goodness of my heart, by the authority designated by winning, I'm giving you a ribbon for your efforts ... wear it with pride !
It is sad indeed. Its common that all children get a participation ribbon of some sort so I'm not sure how he's cooking up that story.
Its probably fantasies from the early stages of his delusion, that along with the shiny cracker box plastic trophy that slowly built into this. I wonder when it will stop.
Is there any help for him? Its so sad some drop through the cracks of the system.
I wonder if fantasizing that he won the trophy helps him cope?
I think we should call rgkv back to describe how the therapy worked for him, and we can inform him of IMs continued deterioration.
That's it ??? Your comment in this congratulatory thread is some little wimpy dribble muttered in a darken corner that offers no no counter arguments, no imaginative repartee to counter the position you find yourselves in .. just a nerdy ..'say's who ?'
Come'on get those imaginations working here ! Call in Matlock to explain why the I didn't post the last thread, Post a backwards clock,
.. how about this ...
Never happened !
There are ways other than this delusional crap that still admits you lost ... come'on - let's keep this going !
You don't need to see it ... but it does provide a good reason to loiter at the produce section at the grocery store.
The thread is the same size as any other thread until you open it up ! I'm guessing there are a few weasels just waiting until the coast is clear to try snip the last post.
So you want us to leave you alone with the cleaning lady ?
I think maybe from her facial expression, this wouldn't be the first time !
