Out R Inn, no idea how I forgot that place...definitely one of my favorites and an absolute campus legend. Some of the best deals around and I loved to play some pool there. And not a bar, but I saw Catfish Biff's get brought up, no better drunk pizza out there.

Does anyone remember "block party" in the 90s? Well, we were told not to leave the dorms. I lived directly across from Catfish Biff's in Smith Hall.

At the time I had hair about to my shoulders, and happened to possess some very hot disco clothes from the thrift store: lime green polyester pants, girls open wide lapel orange and yellow floral print shirt. . .

So anyway, there was a crowd of non students outside catfish biffs. I was offered $1 by each of the guys around on my floor to poofy my hair (read: washed) and wear that outfit, got to biffs, and buy pizza during the "event."

Made some bank that day.

Alright, since we have a few Our R Inn and Pockets references.... somehow this fired a neuron or two....

The owner:

(Please note that this starts off with the LEAST messed up shit this guy was involved with)


Columbus man sentenced for defrauding IRS
Click to expand...

In the late 1990s, McNamee owned the Out-R-Inn near Ohio State University, Pockets on Kenny Road and Shooters on Bethel Road.

OK, we'll start with Tax Fraud... but, you know, he owns a bar, everyone is doing it, right?

A Columbus bar owner who has been questioned by police in connection with two unsolved homicides was sentenced today to prison.

But the prison time has nothing to do with either death.

Federal Judge Algenon L. Marbley sentenced Martin J. McNamee to 36 months in prison for money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the Internal Revenue Service in amounts of more than a half-million dollars.

Do they flood their own basements to collect insurance to the tune of $680K? (there's a longer separate article on this)

He also admitted flooding his home on purpose to collect insurance money.
...

Marbley ordered McNamee to pay back $680,874.

The money will be used to reimburse the IRS, Farmers Insurance and Kittles Furniture, who were defrauded when McNamee intentionally flooded his house at 415 Fox Run Rd. in Powell in 2001, said Richard Rolwing, a prosecutor with the Department of Justice.

Victimless crimes you say?

How normal is it for cops to find you tied to a tree, your house in flames and a stabbed, then burned guy in the basement?

During the sentencing, Columbus homicide detective James McCoskey sat in the back of the courtroom and watched. He had investigated a 1995 death that involved McNamee.

That year, McNamee’s Westerville home was destroyed by an arson fire. He was found several hours later tied to a tree, saying two men he offered a ride to had robbed him.

Fire investigators later found the burned body of a man in the basement of McNamee’s home. A coroner’s report showed the man had been fatally stabbed before the fire.

McNamee had said the man was one of the two who had attempted to rob him. The other alleged robber was never discovered.

Well, maybe just bad luck, right? Could happen to anyone... but what are the odds that your business partner that you're one of the beneficiaries of his life insurance policy turns up dead dressed like a ninja?

McNamee also was questioned in the death of his business partner Robert Gil, who was found fatally shot in Guernsey County in 1994. When Gil’s body was found, he was dressed in a ninja outfit and had a backpack with a gun, hacksaw and screwdriver.

McNamee was one of two beneficiaries on Gil’s $600,000 insurance policy.

It's was like straight, uncooked dough sometimes, hee hee. I remember studying me tail off and eating that crap and Adriatico's in the middle of the night.

I think the worst pizza I ever had as a student was something called "Gumby's" or something. I blocked it out of my memory.

The bolded I miss more than anything...Adriatico's is to this day my favorite pizza, so good. Biff's was just pizza you had to be pretty intoxicated to enjoy...but of course, you always were intoxicated if you wanted to go there.

And crazy stuff on the Out R Inn owner, wow.

Fuuuuuuuuk. I remember Gumby's. That shit was bad, but it was so budget that it was hard to keep out of the rotation. Didn't they have some kind of thing where you collected coupons from the box and after every 12th or something like that you got a free one?

Yeah, that was 'pepper steak from the Cook Co. jail' kinda bad.

The only strange thing I saw in any of those examples was the contents of the backpack. A gun, screwdriver _and_ a hacksaw?
