I went to school with the real BIllie Jack

Billie Jack was based on a girl I went to grade school with named Gerturde Paste. She has since passed on to Heaven. They took some liberties with the story and changed some of the details. They also upgraded the time so it took place in this century. Also Gerturd was not very attractive, as this woman was. Gerturd stole a piece of black licorice from Panner's General Store and when her mom found out she made her go back and apologize and she worked in the store until she paid back the money that the licorice cost, which wasn't very much. As you can see the similarities are obvious and I think the Paste family should have made money from this movie but I don't think they have a TV or exist anymore.

What on God's Green Earth are you talking about?

My sentiments exactly. Maybe he's talking about the wretched "Billy Jack" movies

i like how you drew parallels between this and licorice theft.

Ain't we a pair, Mr. Raggedy Man?

Funny.

I was thinking this post made no sense at all.
How could this person have gone to school with this Gerturde Paste aka Billy Jack when the poster said this happened in another century.

THEN I realized I recognized his name.
If you look at his profile you well see him ramble on about crazy stuff that has nothing to do with the movie in question.

He has made some sick jokes or rambling in other message boards.

His intent, is a mystery.

If you don't have much to begin with, then you don't have much to lose.
So, please use your brain!
