The Mysterious Man

Apparently, one of the most mysterious figures in Big B Radio history (and perhaps in all history of teh interweb) is this person who calls himself "Jinkst."

From what I can speculate, Jinkst has been floating around from asian radio station to station for a while now, but he tends to have a weird persona. People who have interacted with him long term and on more than a casual basis will tell you that they have never seen him in person or know where he really lives. There are many accounts where people have been shown multiple proclaimed "self-portraits" of him but they tend to be inconsistent, that is, they do not always match. It is said that his wild claims online are "fake." But what is it that he wants to achieve by masking his true identity and intentions? Who knows.

So, who is this mysterious figure, you ask?

As far as I know, these are the only facts that I can gather about him:
1. He calls himself by the following names: Jinkst, Jinkst727, Tommi, and Tommi Johnson, Pigs-In-A-Blanket, etc.
2. He lives somewhere in Florida. Most likely, he lives somewhere around Tampa, Florida as he makes references to "Pho Quyen", which I assume is a chain of Vietnamese restaurants concentrated in the area.
3. He is likely to be of Vietnamese descent. He is said to enjoy Vietnamese culture and cuisine.
4. He's about 23-24 years old, as of the time of this post. This information was retrieved from the birthday given in his Xanga account.
5. He enjoys playing MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games), such as the World of Warcraft and Guild Wars.

He often makes wild claims that seem to be impossible. Here I list and negate some of the claims:
1. He does not work at J.P. Morgan.
2. He does not work at Wall Street Journal.
3. He does not work at Sony.
4. He does not live in Japan. Verified in the past by an IP location trace, which incidentally, pinged to a location in Florida.
5. He does not own a private jet.
6. Even if he did own a jet, he cannot fly in a jet for over 10 hours and be on the phone at the same time with someone who is waiting for him to finish flying about ~1000 miles.

But the most outrageous thing of all to date is that he is "currently in a relationship" with Big B Radio's former DJ Cat. How can you even believe it, right? I know; me neither. Yet, you should also know that to date, they have not met face-to-face, only undergoing an online relationship so far. And whenever Cat sends him gifts to his supposed "location in Japan", she needs to route it through to Florida first. Some kind of suspicious route, if you ask me. (Hopefully, you didn't have to deal with the package, Rip.)

Some rumors about his actual identity are disputed. Some people say that he is who he actually claim he is. Some say that he's an ugly, old, fat guy who just sits in front of his computer all day playing WoW. And other say that he's actually Sygni in disguise. The world may never know.

If you want to learn more about Jinkst, you can read his blog of 2005 at http://www.xanga.com/jinkst727 or enjoy some of his poetry at

He told me he won an archery competition in Mongolia. And that they gave him this handmade bow as a trophy. He's such a compulsive liar. I bet Tommi isn't his real name either. That's a pansy way to spell Tommy.

"(Hopefully, you didn't have to deal with the package (going to Japan), Rip.)"

LOL Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with it. I mostly deal with UPS International packages going to Canada on a daily bases.

Definitely one of my favorite post I've read on BBR Chronicles. Thank you for this unsolved mysteries, it made my day.

FYI, I'm not Jinkst. Although I do love to eat pho. This whole mystery happen before I came aboard to BBR, anyways.

BTW, can the real Jinkst please stand up!

ROFLMFAO!!!!

What kind of freak post is this?!?!

"Konnichiwa bitches"
Noticing the time that he posted, shouldn't it be Konbanwa? Or, if you take into account that the time was 4pm in the USA when he posted, shouldn't he be greeting us with "ohayo"?

"Yo, who da fuck is talkin smack about me?"
Tommi.... Shouldn't it be like this: "YO! Who the fuck is talking smack about me?"

"U jus jealous dat I'm so succesful and good lookn and u jus a wannabe."
Should read as: "You're (or you are) just (you forgot the letter T there) jealous that (dat is not a real word in the English language.) I'm so successful (you forgot an S there) and good-looking (forgot the hyphen and the letters i and g in looking and how well you look not only depends on your physical appearance but also by how high your mental processing is.) and YOU'RE (not u, hon) just (forgot another letter in this word!) a wannabe."

"FYI, I am in Japan."

Whoa! Tommi managed to get 1 sentence right! But for grammatical reasons, I will count this one as wrong also for the use of FYI. Quit being lazy, buddy, and use the full words and not acronyms when you're trying to insult someone!

"U betta watch ur ass when I get back cus I'm gonna lvl 6 ur butt ugly face with my Inferno."

Really should read "You better watch your ass when I get back because I'm going to level 6 your butt ugly face with my inferno." Can also be read as "I think I am so gansta, yo. So you better be afraid because I am trying to insult your ass with my use of bad spelling and grammar. I also take WoW way too seriously and I think I can sound more gansta and try to p'own you by using terms form WoW in a somewhat real life situation."

-tommi ish yum yum
Don't know if this should be "Tommi is yum yum" or what but DUDE!!!! YOU FORGOT TO CAPITALIZE YOUR OWN NAME!!!! Please do us all a favor and learn what spell check is before you try insulting again.

Love,
DJ Yummi
