It appears THE LOSER is gone. I don't know if he did it or Yahoo took him done but there is no evidence of him per se (Just for you Craig). Irregardless ( again just for you Craig) I am happy to see him disappear. I did hear from Yahoo on the issue and filled out their compliant form so Yahoo gets a thumbs up for following through.
Thanks everybody for the support and help on this issue. Also a big hi to one of THE LOSER's friends, CindyDianne, who stopped by and plans on sticking around. I welcome her, it's not her fault what happened and everybody is welcome here.
All living souls welcome whatever they are ready to cope with; all else they ignore, or pronounce to be monstrous and wrong, or deny to be possible. George Santayana

My Darling Wife took it upon herself to contact THE LOSER's "friends" about the situation. Here is a copy of those she could contact.
HI
I noticed that you are a friend of Tony of the Hired Hand blog. I thought that you would like to know that all of his posts on ranching and cowboying are plagiarized from this blog. http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/
Sarpy Sam speaks further about his here. http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/1534-Identity-Theft.html
There is very convincing evidence to support this.
I truly doubt that he is a true cowboy because a real cowboy would never stoop to this level.
I am not looking to cause trouble for anyone but thought that you should be aware of the situation.
Sam's Darling Wife
I have yet to hear from THE LOSER or Yahoo for that matter about the situation. I am patiently waiting to hear from either. Not much else I can do at this point.

Identity Theft
I am a victim of Identity theft. Of all things someone has stolen my identity. I find it mostly humorous/sad if the truth were to be known. I know, humorous and identity theft normally don't go hand in hand but this time and circumstance it does. You see, my blog identity has been stolen. Yes, my life, through my blog, has been stolen.
Some person by the name of Tony, hereafter known as THE LOSER, has started a blog in Yahoo 360 blogs called The Hired Hand. His tag line of all things is "TONY'S MY NAME, RIDIN' PONIES MY GAME!" Pretty hokey isn't it. His Yahoo IM identity is arealcowboy. Maybe, but I really doubt it. Real cowboys don't act like THE LOSER has. Of the 22 posts he has up at the time I write this, fourteen of them are either directly my posts, including my famous quotes, or recognizable as my posts. There are some other quotes and jokes that I feel are from my site but I cannot say definitely so I won't accuse him of stealing them.
I am going to break down the posts here that THE LOSER stole and my original post for all the world to see. Maybe he will die of shame, I doubt it though, THE LOSER appears to be to low of life form for that. Maybe there is more remedies for this and I will explain at the end. I have posted screen shots of his site after each entry to show what THE LOSER has done in case THE LOSER removes them. Be warned they are fairly large screen shots so only view on broadband if possible.
I posted Tears on Jan 6 2006 4:38am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing on Jan 6 2006 8:36am PST. (screen shot)
I posted This Explains Things on Jan 10 2006 4:08am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing on Jan 10 20066:58am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Conflict on Jan 12 2006 4:17am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing on Jan 12 6:17am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Omens on Jan 16 4:36am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing on Jan 16 6:16am PST. (screen shot)
I posted I Really Doubt It on Sep 25 2005 4:26am MST and THE LOSER posted almost the same thing, he sanitized the Gazette link out, on Jan 17 6:55am PST and then on his post added my post Stress posted on Jan 30 2005 5:34am MST. He did leave the last item out since it indicates I'm married and I assume THE LOSER isn't. (screen shot)
I posted Examples on Oct 12 2004 6:40am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing, with a picture added, on Jan 18 7:09am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Prejudice on Oct 21 2004 5:45am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing, minus the gazette link and he cut and pasted part of the article in, on Jan 19 2006 7:14am PST. THE LOSER also changed where I had "my daughters school" to "my friends sons school" since I am assuming THE LOSER is not married. (screen shot)
I posted Images on Mar 3 2005 5:13am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing, minus a picture and added the lines "The second post for today On a much lighter side," on Jan 19 7:40am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Idaho and Brucellosis on Jan 20 2006 6:20am MST and THE LOSER posted the exact same thing on Jan 20 8:23am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Confused on Jan 26 2005 6:27am MST and THE LOSER posted the same thing on Jan 23 2006 6:41am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Melting on Jan 25 2006 5:23am MST and THE LOSER posted something called Melting 10 Chickens and a Cock in which he took my melting post, including quote, and added a picture and some other garbage on Jan 25 2006 6:21am PST. (screen shot)
I posted Question on on Sep 30 2005 4:39am MST and THE LOSER posted the exact same thing on Jan 29 8:29pm PST. (screen shot)
I posted Testing the Hired Hand om Jan 31 2006 4:48am MST and THE LOSER posted the exact same thing on Feb 4 2:38pm PST. (screen shot)
I posted Barely in Time on Feb 5 2004 10:07pm MST and THE LOSER posted the exact same thing on Feb 4 2006 8:23pm PST. (screen shot)
That be the dirty list of posts that he stole from me and is pawning off as his own. I will point out there are two other posts there from other blogs that THE LOSER stole and I will be contacting the owners of those blogs with the information for them to do with as they want. Here is the Information on them.
Woodlief posted Christmas Armaments on Dec 23 2004 and THE LOSER posted Armaments, which is the exact same post, on Jan 24 2006.
Over at Cowgirl Funk was posted Damn Your Eyes! on Oct 6 2003 and THE LOSER posted the exact same thing on Jan 26 2006.
That is the full list of the transgressions that THE LOSER has committed, to my knowledge, by stealing entries to make himself something he isn't. I will let the world out there make a decision on what they think of this kind of behavior.
I will note that you can leave THE LOSER a message on the blog by hitting the reply button next to his tag line. If anybody wants to leave a message they can. I have been unable to figure out how to leave comments on the entries so I can't comment on the entries and let everyone know they aren't his. If anybody knows how to comment on a Yahoo 360 blog please let me know. Also there is a link on the left to report for abuse. I am assuming you have to use the link from THE LOSER's site for it to work right. I have put together a complaint that you can download here (it is a txt file, windows notepad should be able to handle it) and paste into the feedback box on the abuse form that gives all the URLs that he stole from me and where the originals can be found. I don't know if the complaint will do any good but it doesn't hurt to try to see if Yahoo will do something about the situation. I have all ready done this and maybe the more people that do it the better. I don't know.
Like I said, this in a way strikes me as real funny. THE LOSER's life is so pathetic he has to imitate me of all people. If he knew me better he wouldn't want to do that. My Darling Wife thinks he is pretending to be a cowboy to get girls. How sad. Hopefully Yahoo 360 will take his blog down so he can quit scamming the women. He will probably start another one some where else if that happens. Nothing I can do about that, I will just have to keep my eyes open.
Imitation is the sincerest flattery. Mohandas Gandhi
UPDATE: I was drilling around THE LOSER's photo gallery listed on the right of the what is called top page and picture number 5 of 18 is mine and you can see it here.
I also note that picture number 17 of 18 belongs to Justin and can be seen originally posted here.
I think this guy steals everything.
