In Praise of Johnny Anonymous, the Man, the Myth, the Legend!

Johnny has been an ATS media staple since before I was even a member. He's not going anywhere, nor is his show.

Very nice tribute. Johnny is a class act, no doubt about it!

I do not know if the rumor is true but I hear Johnny will be retiring down to the Ocean Reef Club in North Key Largo just like Cronkite did.

There's a rumor?
Oh, I just knew it. Fox offered him a bigger contract NOT to talk!
Or is he retiring to write his Memoirs already? Names, dates, times, places.....a real tell-all, I bet.

I miss Johnny. He put the B in Johnny B Good!

Johnny and ATS sure have established a great trend Ashley D.

I really loved the promo clip for you and Asala’s new show too. Great job, I am truly looking forward to seeing the entire debut show in May. I bet Johnny is as proud of you both and your sterling efforts as ATS, the rest of the Staff and all it’s Members are.

Thanks for posting Ashley D!

It’s a quiet, scenic and serene place for a broadcast legend to write his memoires and then launch a speaking tour from!

I understand the competition between Harvard and Yale to have him speak at the graduation ceremonies this year is intense!

Thanks for posting Alethea.

Johnny is a star for sure And someone i truly respect and have gained alot of knowledge from,

I have had the pleasure with working on him in past projects and he was a great mentor!

Wears the Johnny fan club pin

Johnny is awsome, but tell us Asala is there any truth to the rumor that there is talk of you for Prime Minister of the UK?

Some people are thinking that Johnny has the exclusive on this, and is waiting for his next broadcast for when you are ready to unveil the big announcement!

I loved you and Ashley D's promo clip, one thing about mentors, is there has to be real tallent there to work with! Johnny discovered pure gold!

Thanks for posting.

Ahh see now your digging it up on me!

I think that the UK needs a new Chick! Opp i mean women as a leader
Though i think old Maggie scared the men a little too much,

reply to post by asala


As I recall, Ronnie Regan adored the Iron Woman! Say what you will about Ronnie, but that was a guy who walked into the hospital after being shot! A man's man.

So I think it's safe to say, that both the UK and the United States would welcome you in Number 10 Downing Street.

Could it even lead to a cameo appearance as not just a Conspiracy Chick but a Bond Girl?

James what's going on between you and the Prime Minister, nothing Money Penny! I swear!

When I watch the ATS news videos.... I always get the impression that Johnny is drunk.

Just an observation.... lol...

Real Newsmen, and Johnny is a real Newsman, have long been suspected of plying their sources of information with liquid spirits!

I doubt there is much truth to this!

But if Johnny was ever intoxicated in such a fashion, doubtless it would have been for that very reason, and Johnny would have not done this for himself, but selflessly for all of us to get to the facts.

Thanks for posting!

yeah... I'm just teasin'... I do enjoy the vids. Johnny seems to be a very likable guy.

Johnny Anonymous was a class act. I for one will not forget him.

As I have not forgotten Mr. Rabbit!!!

One of the few people who I have the greatest of respect for, the are not that many like him, who stand up and tell it as it is, whilst never putting anyone down without a very good reason, he fights on the line where a lot are afraid to even attempt to go.

Jonny whatever is happening in your life, I hope that it can be resolved quickly and with as much ease as possible, time is the greatest healer what looks like unsolvable situations one day always gets a different outlook as time goes by.

I for one am looking forward to your return, may it be soon.

Take care Jonny.

Really what more can be said about this titan of enduring truth? This tower of power that has become the voice of every soul who seeks the answers to some of life's most puzzling questions. He has single handedly captured the very hearts of everyone who has had the privilege of hearing him speak.

When things are down or all seems lost, I always conjure up images of the brave Johnny in his familiar attire behind the desk as he tells it like it is. Speaking with authority and confidence in the face of adversity he has set an example for us all. Never give up was his message to me. Never give up. It has gotten me through the direst of times and I thank him.

So now our cry to you Johnny is, Never Give Up! I know the leg splints and arm cast that you have now will be a vigilant reminder to you of how they wanted to keep you quiet. The doctors have told us that you will be able to eat solid food in about a month. So drink your meals for now Johnny. Drink them as you plot your revenge that you know has been far too long in the coming.

You see, they think they can distract us with this new fangled Conspiracy Chick thing. What they don't want you to know is that they in fact had Johnny rubbed out because he was way too close to the truth. Something had to be done because Johnny was about to blow the lid off the whole thing. So they had a little known company, Executive Outcomes, to deal with Johnny. Skeptic and Springer ordered the hit and its all documented.

What they hadn't counted on was the resourcefulness and cat like reflexes of Johnny Anonymous! When the assassins, four of them, divulged on Johnny he single handedly disarmed the would be killers and fought with them on the rooftop of a parking garage. In a nearby helicopter Skeptic and Springer sat poised while watching Johnny struggle for his life. They had seen Johnny fall from the top of the parking garage and considered the operation a success.

They had no idea that Johnny had indeed survived that assassination attempt and they quickly scheduled the new Conspiracy Chicks so no one would question where Johnny had gone. We would just be wowed at the new show! Soon enough, they considered, no one would even remember Johnny.

News flash, Johnny will be telling his story, Skeptic, and you and Springer cannot stop him. Has anyone seen a little brown bottle of pretty blue pills? I seem to have lost them.

Johnny will be back when he's ready. THat being said, you never know what the Anonymous One will do next. He can be full of surprises.

I speak to him at least once a week (or more), he's fine, he's just having to deal with LOTS of that stuff we call "life".

Springer...

First and foremost as I sit here snacking on this delicious homemade Texas Fudge, and these delightful fresh baked British Scones, anonymously delivered to me recently, I find it highly unlikely that the Conspiracy Chicks could have been involved with the untoward disappearance of Johnny!

But being the diligent Conspiracy investigator that I am, I put out a few calls.

While it appears there is some truth to what you say, we first have to remember that the real Three Amigos had previously been kidnapped by Aliens on a dessert retreat and replaced with Alien stand in doubles.

Yes it turns out the intrepid and indomitable Johnny was hot on the investigation and close to finding the location where the Three Amigos were being held.

Then it went sour, and while true, the evil aliens almost did away with Johnny, it was actually Asala in her alter ego as Bat Woman, and Ashley D in her alter ego as Wonder Woman that saved Johnny from certain doom at the hands of the superior alien technology.

Johnny was badly injured in the fall, and would have perished had it not been for the daring exploits of the Conspiracy Chicks to save him!

As Johnny began to slip from consciousness, he looked at and too Ashley D and Asala and made them promise the show would go on.

Ashley D in her Wonder Woman alter ego used her Magic Lasso on the imposter Three Amigos and quickly set about creating a new News Show for ATS and us all, at Johnny’s bequest!

It would seem we all owe a great debt to the Conspiracy Chicks, and perhaps Johnny Anonymous most of all.

Now you know!

Thanks for posting my friend.

LOL, great thread!

I'm absolutely loving all the satire and irony

To this day my heart still aches over the loss of ATS Mix and it's family of related shows.

Much respect @JohnnyA

Yes I know it is true. I may have used a bit of sensationalism and hyperbole in my prior post but notice, I did not mention any names or start rumors. I just get so caught up in the emotion of the topic when I recall some of Johnny's greatest exploits and adventures.

Like that time we uncovered the fact that ancient artifacts were being held in the Wichita City Hall building. Yes, governmental leaders had come across the fact that some local archaeologists had uncovered a startling secret in the forested areas of the Chisholm Trail. The trail was once used long ago for driving cattle from Texas and on into Kansas.

Most have never heard of the famed Francisco Vásquez de Coronado. In 1541, Franscisco scoured this trail near the two rivers that had served as a trading center for nomadic peoples for 11,000 years. It was then rumored and since been proven that he was in fact looking for something that he referred to as the "cities of gold."

Well it seems as though some very important maps were uncovered by these local archaeologists and when they contacted the authorities to report what they had found they were quickly apprehended and their maps taken. Some local intelligence was utilized to find out exactly where the maps were taken and to our surprise the maps were being held inside of City Hall and were to be transported out of the area by military escort.

Johnny had received an urgent cell phone call from one of the archaeologists who gave Johnny the whole scoop. Upon hearing of this sinister plot Johnny could take no more. I begged him not to do it but against my wishes he advised me to put on my seat belt and shut up. The following is the surveillance video inside of City Hall where Johnny majestically rescued the maps and saved the world!



Notice how expertly Johnny maneuvered the vehicle through the tight hallways! He hurt no one that was innocent. After this, we pulled into a Waffle House and had something to eat and laughed heartily as we recalled the look on those security gaurd's faces! Then it was off to another adventure! Yes, those were the days. We miss you Johnny.

Johnny's investigative skills are nearly unparalleled, in the annals of professional journalism.

Excuse me a moment, I have to wipe my hands, from this barbeque sauce from these delicious Texas Style Barbeque Spare Ribs that were just anonymously delivered, I hardly had room for them after the most amazing Fish and Chips delivered from London a short time before.

It sure is strange how all this food keeps showing up from Texas and London today????

Of course when it comes to totally unrivaled investigative journalism, I am pretty sure the Conspiracy Chicks are even going to surpass Johnny…wait is that Strawberry Shortcake…yes I am certain they are going to surpass Johnny!

Oh dear is that Yorkshire Pudding?

What were we talking about again Jackflap???
