Can anyone think of any other "Monger Urban Legends"?


Here's one...
It's a law that the 'working' chicas in CR have to have periodic physicals to make sure they are free of diseases, and have to carry a card to prove it.

I first heard that when I started going to CR back in 1998.

C-dude, now I KNOW the CCI doesn't take any credit cards, employ any security guards or keep any records. They don't even have a phone so it would have been really hard for this guy's wife to even get a hold of them. :lol:

GT, that's an excellent example, and an ACTUAL "Monger Urban Legend" to boot!!!

I was thinking more along the lines of "Gringotim actually picking up the tab for a round of drinks with his friends" (www.snopes.com/GTBartab most likely false) :P or "Prolijo actually keeping a post to only one sentence" (www.snopes.com/prolijo actually happened ... but only ONCE) :oops: or "brother Zebra actually introducing himself to a group of CRTers at the BM" (www.snopes.com/zebra never gonna happen). But we'll take serious MUL's too.

here's a MUL...the value of the US Dollar in CR is directly pegged to the number and availability of Tiny Napkins at the News Cafe....a recent bumper production load from the Tiny Napkin Factory drove the Dollar to new high/conversion rates until some inconsiderate mongers made off with the excess supply and drove the Dollar back down!

Corresponding indices of Yellow Ice seemed to remain unaffected by the market turmoil.

For a brief moment, the price of a bottle of Diacort became beyond the reach of many, resulting in upset stomachs nationwide.

Other anomalies were also noticed such as younger mongers with gaudy shoelaces and shit, asking old farts for advice on how to approach the Little Darlings.

Some Certified CRT Experts, normally staid and sober, threw caution to the wind and accepted the numbers/ratios as Gospel.

:D

Once again for Chillimike I will post once again on this thread. I'm not sure what he wants me to say. I reported the conversation as it happened. I agree that it sounds a little far-fetched,however the guy isn't a bullshitter in my opinion. However I don't really know him well. He also told me that his wife is a doctor who would have to pay him if they were divorced. I am not putting on the masses here. I also have problems with the CIA guy and the photos,but it's what he said. One of you naysayers should check into the DR and ask for a detailed receipt at checkout and see if there are any visa numbers on the receipt. i'm also going to look for this guy today,and ask him to register on CRT and to post on this thread.
Now hopefully this is enough of a post to make Chillimike happy. The sun os out right now,but It's going to rain later....... but you all know that already. Oh.wait a minute...here's more for Chilli. I believe that Laura will take over the Presidency tomorrow. lol

Another MUL

According to the husband, who returned home from a year in Iraq to find a new baby boy, "with today's technology, anything is possible." Even conceiving a black baby when mother Jennifer and her husband Erick are white, seemingly.

When Samsung warned about the dangers of pregnant women watching 3DTV, is this what they were referring to? Husband Erick Jhonson was doing America proud in Iraq when his wife Jennifer fell pregnant while watching a 3D porn film with friends. As she says, "a month after watching the movie, I started feeling dizzy and the results were positive," with the baby apparently looking like the black porn star in the film.

"I see it as suspicious, the films in 3D are very real. With today's technology, anything is possible," the far too trusting husband Erick Jhonson has said.

Any updates on the monger-urban-legend "VegasBob always starts threads and never returns to them"? :lol:

I've had friends at the Pres. before and the desk wouldn't even tell me if they were in fact there at all much less their room #, not sure if that level of customer privacy is S.O.P., or maybe was requested...

I AM WRITING THIS UNDER VEGAS BOBS TITLE.
VEGAS BOB ASKED ME TO TYPE THIS REPLY TO THESE RESPONSES. I AM AT THE DEL REY AND THIS IS 100 % TRUE. I GOT HOME FROM MY CR VACATION AND MY WIFE ASKED ME IF I HAVE CHEATED ON HER WHILE ON VACATION. I SAID NO OF COURSE NOT. SHE THEN PULLED OUT ALL THE RECEIPTS OF THE GIRLS THAT I HAD SIGNED IN TO MY ROOM AT THE DEL REY. I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I SAW. HER BROTHERS FRIEND WORKS FOR IMMIGRATION, NOT CIA LIKE PREVIOUSLY STATED. SHE HAD THE RECEIPTS AND PHOTOS OF EACH GIRL FROM HER BROTHERS FRIEND. I LIKE BLACK OR MOSTLY DOMINICAN GIRLS AND MY WIFE KNOWS I LIKE BLACK GIRLS FROM MY PAST. MOST OF THE GIRLS IN THE PHOTOS WERE BLACK. I TRULY DO NOT REMEMBER IF THERE WERE ANY TICAS TO MY ROOM BUT I KNOW THE PHOTOS MY WIFE HAD WERE FROM MOSTLY DOMINICANS. I DONT THINK TICAS NEED MORE THAN A PHOTO ID TO GO TO THE ROOMS. I TOLD MY WIFE THAT I LET MY FRIENDS USE MY ROOM TO TAKE PHOTOS OF THE GIRLS BECAUSE IT WAS MORE CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO USE MY ROOM RATHER THAN GOING TO THE DUNN INN. I AM NOT SURE HOW MY WIFE GOT THIS INFO FROM THE DEL REY BUT I SWEAR TO YOU THIS IS TRUE. I TALKED TO BOTH MANAGERS AT THE DEL REY GABBY AND MANUEL AND THEY BOTH SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD THINK OF IS THAT MY WIFE MAY HAVE PAID OFF ONE OF THE STAFF TO GET THIS INFO. I AM STAYING AT THE PRESIDENTE THIS TRIP AND I CAN SAY THAT BOTH GABBY AND MANUEL ARE TREATING ME LIKE ROYALTY THIS TRIP. I EMAILED THE DEL REY MANY TIMES SINCE LAST TRIP AND HAVE HEARD NO RESPONSE TO THESE QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE...

CIA or Immigration (If US) he's still a prick for doing something like that. Drop a dime on that asshole - he should be fired. You did nothing illegal. He did by accessing information without authority (if this is true). Phuck that asshole - reminds me of the jerk-off's giving access to this site to the Ticas for their gain at other members expense.

CIA or INS, I still don't see why either of those agencies would have photos of Dominicanas unless maybe they had applied for a visa to the US. Perhaps he means CR Immigration? Is his wife a Tica herself? Or maybe the brother working for US Immigration used some sort of contact he had with a Tico counterpart rather than accessing it anywhere in the US's database. If either is the case, I wouldn't be so sure how much trouble he could really bring down on the brother and, even if he could, if he's already skating on thin ice with his wife and is trying to pass this all off as his just helping out a friend, then vindictively ratting out his brother-in-law (however justified) probably won't appear much like the reaction of an innocent man.

Despite this minor nagging issue regarding the photos (and also the matter of his private conversation with the security guard which he did not address), I still tend to believe most of his story. The most probable explanation is just as he and the HDR managers theorized, that his wife paid off one of the staff to get the info rather than it just having it been freely released as part of the HDR regular policy on the matter (or lack thereof). If that is the case, to be fair to the HDR management, there really may not be all that much they can do. How many staffers have regular access to that sort of info? At a hotel as large and busy as the HDR, it is probably quite a few. How restrictive is that access? For example, does the system record whenever someone accesses it and who it was that did it? I doubt it. So even if they knew or suspected which of the several staffers leaked the info, would they really be able to prove they were the one who did it? I'm guessing probably not. Really, the only things they could do to prevent this sort of thing from happening again would be to start paying staffers more to make them less susceptible to bribe :roll:, institute ethics training :roll:, password restrict or even add retinal scanning for anyone accessing that info :roll:, and maintaining logs of who accesses or prints out what and when :roll:. Of course, you know none of that is very practical and they'd never do any of that.

Now, OTOH, if he knows which security guard was around when he made that comment about his "dominican bride", then he at least knows where that piece of info came from and if he passed that on to the HDR management then they should at least have questioned that guard.

Lastly, if his wife really believes this guys new cover story, that he was just letting a friend use his room, then she is even more foolish than he was. If his friend was into bringing chicas back to his room then why didn't HE stay at the HDR. And, even more significant, if the wife was doing all this research then she must know what sort of place the HDR really is, so she should be asking why her husband wasn't staying at the Dunn Inn himself along with his friend, rather than at an infamous brothel hotel. In reality, I seriously doubt his wife is really as stupid as all that. She MIGHT be temporarily mollified until she gets even more irrefutable evidence, but she HAS to be still VERY suspicious. This guy may have moved over to the Presidente, but apparently he still hasn't learned his lesson. I predict divorce or at least a VERY rocky home life in his foreseeable future. He says that his wife is a doctor who would have to pay him if they were divorced but he may be fooling himself in that belief too. If she can hire a PI to go to CR and bribe hotel staff for evidence, then she can also probably hire a very good divorce attorney too and is probably getting all those ducks in a row even now.

Ok, the bullshit flag is now flying. This guy is saying he got totally busted, and he's on ANOTHER TRIP??? I dont know about you, but if my wife knew I cheated on her in costa rica, there is no way in hell I'd be allowed back. This story reeks of BS. First with the CIA, then its immigration, and now they have PHOTOS of every girl he took to his room? Cmon, give me a break.

Last time in SJ I stayed at the Sleep Inn and when I checked out I was looking at the bill and then noticed that they had made a photo copy of all my “dates” IDs. I asked the front desk guy if I could look at the photo copies and then asked what he was going to do with those copies. He just shrugged his shoulders and I then asked if I could keep the copies. He handed them over without a second thought.

I have great doubts that anyone should totally expect the customer information gathered by hotels to be held in confidence or handled properly.

The one thing that surprised me most was that the name and age of all the chicas matched up with what they told me.
