A California man was charged Thursday with bilking investors of $3.3 million while posing as an Oscar-winning designer of sound effects.

Investigators say Carrington used some of the proceeds of his crimes to buy a 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago, a 2005 Hummer H2 and a 2006 Mercedes SL500R, with a combined value of almost $500,000, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Prosecutors are seeking forfeiture of the cars.

    Allow the Joke Briefer come to the rescue here for @3 and @4:
    EP started the clay pot spinning wheel of humor here by referencing an image of funny sound effects guy Michael Winslow (of Police Academy movie fame, a series that the Joke Briefer finds quite amusing, but I digress…)). Of course, Mr. Winslow is not the imposter referenced in the story but is involved in movie “sounds”. Ergo, an absurdity that produced an amused thought in one’s brain unless one is anti-social or a Director on a natural gas trading desk. Then, @2, wisely sensing the opportunity to snatch a guffaw, reached around EP on the spinning clay pot wheel of humor to begin the cool , multi- hand molded creation with her of an amusing thought (or “joke”) by posting a link to an image of Ms. Leslie Easterbrook who also starred in the Police Academy genre of films with Mr. Winslow. Together entwined, @2 and EP’ spinning wet clay formed pot slung of a climax of “joke” thoughts and a juvenile yet interesting view of Ms. Easterbrook in a wet T-shirt splattering us all with the remider that humor can often be found in the backwaters of our minds or at Pottery Barn.
    Sincerely,
    The Joke Briefer

    The Joke Briefer is appalled by his poor grammar and spelling and promises to do better next time. He was in a hurry to get on the road to the latest “Naked Gun” film retrospective…….

    Let me debrief the jokes here -
    EP makes an allusion to Police Academy
    with newsline
    He then proceeds to add post # 2 as this is still one of his favourite movies and finds the need to taste his moment
    EP then realizes nobody must by now know what the fuk hes talking about so he adds a joke briefing comment.
    The comes in the joke debriefer to explain this whole plot, and whats a good plot without a pretty face and a nice rack.
    Next- everyone comes here in their briefs.
    thank you and good night

    @11
    Are you new using an Iphone? Wow, I get what you are saying, but there are almost as many errors there than in a half-sentence produced by “William Richards” and EP combined.
    The joke was lame. It didn’t require a thesis to explain it because it was not funny.
    Those who were interested in finding out more about Carrington didn’t have any trouble using “the google” and finding his website and discovering what this guy’s trade was supposed to be. Carrington was claiming to be a sound effects guy who records sounds (not his own voice) and processes them to use as special sound effects. Basically he claimed to do a lot of field work and studio work. He’s not a performer like Winslow. That’s what triggered my WTF.
    So if you could see Carrington doing his pretend job and Winslow performing side by side, the only thing you will find in common is that both individuals are black males. That just shows you that EP is hung up on black males, especially after the last election. That’s all, and not funny.
