Pool's Closed

It's that time of year again.
Halburn is upset Charleston pools are closed so he calls Charleston Mayor Danny Jones at home .

21st Century Appliance Service Lies

In another one of his fictional "pat myself on the back" episodes, Halburn claimed last night that his neighbor's Sears refrigerator broke and he needed it repaired the next day but Sears had closed several hours ago. This was at 12:30 in the morning.

 

Ol' Fats decides he'll jump in and help by calling a Sears store in HONOLULU because it's 5 hours BEHIND the eastern time zone and is STILL OPEN! (Free long distance is his friend!) Doesn't matter that almost everyone has free long distance these days.

Then he claims that he did this once before and the repairman was so amazed that he offered him $50 to tell him how he was able to book repair appointments in the middle of the night. He continues and says he was able to talk the repairman into upping his offer and giving him a "benji" to do it.

It's the 21st century, dipshit. You don't need to call an actual Sears store. You can reach Sears Appliance & Home Repair and schedule a repair appointment 24 hours a day. And with a toll free number.

The whole story is total bullshit.
Like him claiming to have run over and killed a robbery suspect, the after concert car crash rescue, and the cat rescue
.
More self serving lies from a narcissistic congenital liar.

Pawn

What kind of father agrees for his sick son to skip his visitation and stay home instead of going with him and then threatens to file an emergency contempt motion against the mother?

Mark Halburn

His son is nothing more than a pawn to him.
He doesn't love the boy, he loves using him and the legal system to harass his second ex-wife.

WHICH AREA RESTAURANTS GET PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT?

Halburn continues to run a feature on his fake news blog that he calls "In The Kitchen," where he regurgitates restaurant inspection reports that he has harassed the Putnam County Health Department into sending him.

What's so unusual about that, you might say?

What's unusual is that in all the years he's been running these reports he has only posted ONE inspection report from any of his long-term "advertisers." That was in 2015 from the Nitro Tudor's. 
 





He has NEVER printed the results of a Health Department inspection for any Gino's or Barnyard BBQ restaurant. All three "advertise" on his blog. 
Gino's has 4 Putnam County locations, Tudor's has 5. Barnyard has 1. 
So it can't be that they're not being inspected.

Is he not reporting negative results for certain restaurants because they run ads on his blog? Or in exchange for free food?
Does he single out other restaurants for punishment or payback because they refuse to have anything to do with his hate filled agenda?

Halburn has a deal with Barnyard BBQ where he gets a free meal once a month in exchange for advertisements and favorable stories. That allows him to brag to all his Facebook toadies that he takes his son there for "our monthly prime rib dinner."

Just another example of his continuing conniving, corrupt, unethical, journalistic behavior.

Hey, it's Father's Day

Here's a little song forHalburn.
How's it feel for another man to be raising your "son", fatass?
At least he's a man the boy can look up to instead of one to be embarrassed about.

The Crazy Wall

Halburn is OBSESSED with getting his kid's picture taken. He gets his picture taken constantly.

Halburn lives in a tiny, one bedroom garage apartment in Dunbar. Virtually every single inch of wall space is covered with pictures of the boy. It's a creepy shrine. There can't be an inch of wall space without a picture. It's not that big.

He takes the kid and has his Portrait made for every single birthday, Valentines Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, school, soccer, basketball, the list goes on and on. 

You know when the police go to a serial killer's home and his walls are covered with his victims' pictures?  It's like that. 

And these aren't pictures most people have in their houses. 4x6s, 8x10s. No. That's not good enough for MARK FUCKING HALBURN. 
These are 10x13s, 16x20s. Huge prints, almost poster sized. And all framed.
All this from a guy who makes less than minimum wage and had his child support payment cut at least three times.

And he's been banned from almost every photo studio in town.
Sears
Target
LifeTouch
Portrait Innovations

He goes in and immediately starts complaining.
He had to wait. They couldn't accommodate his special requests. The photographer wouldn't do what he wanted. Other patrons and their kids are annoying. Harassing employees. Calling names. Throwing things. Reshoots. And all with a coupon. And he still complains about the results.
Which results many of the times in comped pictures.
He bitches enough and they just give it to him.

At one point he even borrowed a prop from another photographer and took it to Target for them to use. That takes a lot of nerve.

As the kid gets older he looks more & more uncomfortable in these photos.  What used to be smiles have turned to grimaces. That kid has to have some emotional problems from this stuff.

"At Target Portrait Studio having the boy's annual Father's Day portrait shot. There are children (REPEATEDLY) whining "mommy" and "daddy" to parents who are 1) Ignoring them. 2) Failing to tell their lovelies to "QUIET!" Then there are the middle school and elementary school sisters who are LITERALLY slapping each other around while their "dad" ignores them. Makes me grateful that 1) I would NEVER ignore the boy this way. 2) He KNOWS not to whine. 3) He is an ONLY child! ROFL!!! (It could be worse-BROTHERS draw blood!) Next, I will go to the pain killer aisle and buy a HUGE bottle of Excedrine Maximum Strength!"

1). You would NEVER ignore the boy this way? Not unless you were writing an article for your blog or posting on Facebook or attacking someone on Topix or digging through the trash for bottle caps.
2). Only daddy is allowed to whine.

DENIED!

In his ongoing battle to be recognized as a legitimate journalist, Halburn has been soundly rejected again by West Virginia State University.

At least there's one government office that has the balls to tell him no.

 

Not a bonafide news service? Has she not seen his headset?
Many times it is easier to get press credentials with a title of 'blogger' or 'podcaster' than that of journalist, of course it helps if you're not an asshole too.    
 
I'm sure he has already located Ms. Osborne's address and is in the process of  harassing  her unmercifully.
