I won't be played for a fool, and I won't be strung along for a moment longer while he waits on his "divorce papers" to go through. Since he declined to heed my warnings, since he won't take my advice to quit his job and move to Milwaukee to kick the shit out of my boyfriend, since he continues to think it's OK to associate with that woman he calls his wife, I'm outing him. Here are some selected Private Messages I've received from Tinkerertink69 (real name Derek Gustavson) since he first initiated our clandestine liason last winter.

Hi. I'm just messaging to say welcome to OS. In response to your comment on my blog earlier, this really is a great place to read and write things that interest you. I hope you enjoy yourself here, and that we get to know each other better:)
March 3rd
Hi again Drew-Silla. From your comments it seems that you like my writing. Please come by my blog, I've written a post inspired by you. I hope I don't sound forward, but you're rapidly becoming my muse, my reason for writing here. The fools and buffoons who usually comment on my stuff don't get me at all, but you seem to.
PS: Is that really you in your avatar pic?

Dearest Drew, I know we just spoke hours ago, but I can't you out of my head. Our conversation on Skype this morning was divine, far more erotic than anything I've ever done in "real life." Before now, I'd never have imagined that a woman I've never met in person could lead me to such ecstasy. When you kept telling me to shut up, squeeze my balls, and cluck like a chicken, the world moved for me; it's something my wife would never do for me, not in all these years of loveless marriage.

Drew, please don't send PMs anymore. I think my wife has the password to my account. She's been acting suspicious lately, or maybe I'm just paranoid, but either way, it's too risky. You know I love you, and I'll make Gerold pay for everything he's done, but for now only contact me while I'm at work. You know the number.
July 11th
For the love of God Drew, she knows EVERYTHING. I'm going to North Dakota for a week in August, but I promise that when I get back we'll make arrangements to meet in Cincinatti. Please keep it together 'til then, and know that soon we'll be together.
August 27th
If you contact me again, I'm going to the FBI. This is not a bluff. Stay away from my house, my job, my parent's house, my friend's houses, the grocery store, and my bank.
October 1st
I'll be at the bus stop at 7:30. I'll have the cash, and I'll be alone.
October 9th
What in God's name do you WANT from me?

Photo of Tink as "Princess Leia" from a rendezvous we had in Lexington, KY. Note the beady, lying eyes.
I have dozens more messages I can post if necessary. All "Tink" has to do to keep me from posting them is to contact me and tell me he's ready to reconsider his rash decisions. I'll be waiting, and in the meantime I'll let the court of public opinion be the judge of how I've been wronged.

I smell a new scandal.
Thank God!!!!
(Leaves to go find Nyquil and put on a diaper)
I'm just sayin'...
And Spotted Mind, cross me again and it's on like Donkey Kong.
And I thought the Princess Leia costume was just for me.
And Boanerges, this is no laughing matter. I've got enough on that bastard to put him away; the ball's in his court at this point.
BTW, tell Mrs. Tink I can get her a great deal on slightly used golf clubs.
I can definitely see the attraction here Drew-Silla.
I'm saying do whatever it takes as far as blackmail or whatever.
Hell, send him to jail. He'd be worth the wait, and by the time he get's
out and his wife has moved on, who will be there waiting at the jailhouse door? You my dear.
Hope it all works out for you though.
:-)
OH HOW COULD YOU!?!?! AND AFTER I TOLD YOU I WOULD BE YOURS FOREVER, HAD MY BAGS PACKED AND EVERYTHING!!!!!
*TEARS*
Tink, you lying sack of shit. Gerold's on his way to Indiana right now. It's OVER motherfucker. I didn't want it to end this way, but you left me no choice. I hope you're happy.
Drew you can do so much better, walk away now..
We're going to run off to some state and get married!!! By a pair of lesbians!!! Yea!!
MORE PFFFFFFT!!!
Drew- Okay you can have Tink. But can I still have him as my best friend, but I will stop the benefits part of it. I am not one for lairs and cheater.
Tink- I am so broken heart, crying real tears... boohooo..
TEARS!! PARIS.....
OH BEAUTIFUL PARIS!!!
*runs off to be with his one true love* Betsy Wetsy!!! *MORE TEARS*
What?
Are you looking at me?
Teeheehee!!
Drew- I am sorry you found out this way, but like I said you can have him. I will walk away, and let you have him. But I will say you should think about finding someone else to give you love too.
You have my many hugs..
You gave yourself away a long time ago. I won't tell. :-)
You fucking whore

I'm eight months pregnant with Derek's son. Your post is causing a great deal of harm. Please delete it in the interest of not making things worse for you than they're already going to be. You syphilitic slag.
You have no idea who you're dealing with Natasha. I killed a kitten with a lemon zester once.
You, too?
We thought we three had it all!!
Boo hoo hoo
Tears and sobs
~rocco and rusty
Cindy Ross- Tired Eyes??? Had to laugh at that.. LOL
Kings II, 9:36-37
So, Rita, I have a whip with mink tails....xox
To all the other commenters here: If you want to keep posting defamatory crap on this post, you are just digging your own grave. I'm flagging these comments as ABUSIVE. And illegal.
I'm not the crazy one here. I cut a Hell's Angel with a box knife once. He asked me to, and he had it coming anyway.
Now, nevermind all that.
Rita....? xox
Is there no end to this?
Second of all, to all the commenters here; you people disgust me. I'm trying to set things right with my lover, and all you can do is come over here and make jokes and behave like a bunch of voyeurs. Can't you give me and Tink a little privacy to work this thing out? I'll cut him if I have to but I don't want things to go that far. I hope he's happy now. We had a pony when I was 9 but we had to sell him to the dogfood factory. I remember how he cried when we put him in the station wagon, and Daddy kept saying "He'll be Alp0 by this time tomorrow."
OMG! Another icon brought low by the love of a woman!
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!
*wanders off*
Eat shit and die you lunatic

Gerold and I have reached an accomodation. He and I are leaving for Montana after New Year's. We love each other, and there's nothing you or my wife or Natasha or Fireeyes or Robin or Grif or Zuma can do to make me stay. You've ruined my marriage, ruined my reputation on Open Salon, and ruined my life, and I hope you rot in hell.
Best regards,
Derek Gustavson
PS: I hope we can still be friends.
I know he's lying though. Gerrold was here this afternoon and picked up his iguana, Michelle, to take her to the vet. If he was moving to Montana he wouldn't be taking a lizard with him; Tink has a deathly fear of reptiles, stemming from an incident where he was bitten on the anus by a monitor lizard in the Cub Scouts.
We're already here in Montana, in our hot tub!!!! In our mansion!!!
So there!! PFffffT!!!!!
I PMed you the number, and all the information about Natasha. It'll all work out, in the end!!!!
I love you sweet Drew, like the dew loves the flowers and shit!!!!!
Please call me tonight!!!!
AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!!!
