r/Springfield

Hi everyone,
I bought this tshirt on Vinted recently and I was looking for where did it come from. My search gives me informations about a club named Fallout club which was hypothetically located in Springfield during the 90’s.
As a French guy, all I have to reach some informations is Reddit so here I am.

I am very curious to learn about this (if all that stuff is true) so if anyone have old pictures or facts I would be very interested.

Have a nice day :)

Baystate CEO, Peter Banko, just (vanity) published his book, The Necessary Goodbye, all about firing people. No one will be surprised to find out it is FULL of plagiarism. We found 25 instances of verbatim plagiarism. Here are examples:

1. Peter Banko: "More than 90 years ago the first Kibbutz (from the Hebrew word kvutza, meaning 'group'), was established. It was a revolutionary idea of a voluntary society in which people live in accordance with a specific social contract, based on egalitarian and communal principles in a social and economic framework.”

It was a revolutionary idea of a voluntary society in which people live in accordance with a specific social contract, based on egalitarian and communal principles in a social and economic framework"

2. Peter Banko "Life’s great thresholds … such as getting married, having children, starting a new job, birthdays, old age, death, homecoming, and addiction. Transitioning from the known and familiar into the new and unmapped. His poems and blessings offer us the opportunity to awaken to timeless truths and demonstrate our power to navigate through periods of change and transition."

Original text from https://greensboropubliclibrary.overdrive.com/media/147859 "O’Donohue looks at life’s thresholds—getting married, having children, starting a new job—and offers invaluable guidelines for making the transition from a known, familiar world into a new, unmapped territory….O’Donohue awakens readers to timeless truths and shows the power they have to answer contemporary dilemmas and ease us through periods of change."

3. Peter Banko: "I wish we could be excruciatingly honest when axing someone. Something comparable to the fate of William Wallace (depicted by Mel Gibson) in Braveheart. King Edward I of England declared him guilty of treason and sentenced him to death. Wallace was killed publicly using one of the most brutal punishments in the medieval era—hanged, drawn, and quartered. The king’s communication strategy was simple—tar Wallace’s head, place it on a pike on London Bridge, cut up his body, and distribute the parts to all corners of the empire."

Original text from https://www.nationalwallacemonument.com/2023/07/wallaces-capture-and-execution/ On 23rd August 1305 Wallace was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. Wallace was killed using one of the most brutal punishments in the medieval era: he was to be hung, drawn, and quartered…To warn others away from rebellion, Wallace’s head was dipped in tar and placed on a pike on London Bridge. His four limbs were sent to be displayed in Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Perth.
