Strange - considering I’ve seen **jtur88** eel into, and then eviscerate on, many of the threads I read - that I haven’t seen him _here_ to at least try to stand up for himself. So does the SDMB make pit threads invisible to pitees, then? (yeah yeah yeah - a still-somewhat-noob post) Oh pity the pitee ---

There are more than 3,000 counties and county equivalents in the US. I don’t know how many miles you would have to travel to accomplish that. More important, I can’t comprehend for what reason you would do it. What kind of job would require that? Or why would you want to visit every county in North Dakota as a tourist? (Maybe if you were obsessive you would want to visit every county to check them off your list, but why would you visit them _twice_?). > > Despite expressions of incredulity from several posters and requests to explain, he simply ignored them and proceeded to tell tales about his international travels.

They don’t even have towns of any size. What exactly was he delivering there? [Here’s a map of US counties](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_(United_States)#/media/File:Usa_counties_large.svg). Try plotting a route that will take you to almost all of them. It would be tens of thousands of miles. Visiting all the counties in the US would be extremely time consuming, very expensive, and completely pointless. And he claims to have visited most of them twice. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > My favorite thing about **jturd** is his complete belief that all medical care, of any kind, is bad and a complete waste of time. Appendicitis? Let it burst. Pneumonia? Cough up a lung. All doctors are charlatans and it’s a waste of time and money to see one. My all-time fave **jtur88** post is the one where he [claims](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19467575&postcount=7) to have _never_ have suffered any physical injuries (as an adult, anyway) because he is “mentally alert and cognizant of danger.” The guy is either superhuman or a chronic confabulator.

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Don’t forget the “heil hitler” he has at the end of his moniker. Always a good sign. Meh, the guys an asshole but I’ve never seen any indication that he’s Stormfront material. Sometimes an 88 is just an 88; I’m registered here on an email address ending in 88 that I’d been using for at least a decade before I found out about the Aryan Nations use of it. Fuck the neo-nazis, are we supposed to stop using the number 14 for them too? ---

I never connected the 88 / hh thing. I assumed he’s 88 years old, or knows 88 languages or has delivered 88 babies, or has tasted 88 varieties of grasshopper or has possibly scaled Mt Everest 88 times. I don’t think he’s a neo Nazi; but I bet he can tell you all about them. ---

> [@Dissonance](#): > > . . . Sometimes an 88 is just an 88 . . . are we supposed to stop using the number 14 for them too? Agreed; the accusation would have to be backed up by cites from his posts; otherwise, it could be entirely innocent. Besides, “88” means “love and kisses” in the old Telegrapher’s code. What is the reference to 14? I don’t know that one. (The old telegrapher’s code for 14 is “What is the weather?”) ---

I’m going with the latter. I know complete idiots that have never injured anything ever, god knows how I am pretty sure that i am mentally alert and cognizant and yet have had enough injuries that my body now rejects uninjured tissue. Was there something he was actually attempting to prove with that statement? If you club him in the back of the head, does it magically not count? ---
