Q: “I’m going to Madeupistan. Has anyone ever been there? What should I look forward to?” A: “Been there so many times I’m bored with it. The feces sodas are to die for.” ---

> [@Colibri](#): > > [Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19441220&postcount=4)he claims to have been in every county or parish in 48 states, most of them at least twice. 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_?). I suspect that he’s actually been in and out of the same county over 3,000 times… and never recognizes it. ---

That sounds to me like he admits he posts just to be contrary. Would that be considered an admission of trolling? ---

His mention of “clabber” implies that he’s drinking milk that’s unpasteurized, not merely spoiled. Very dangerous. ---

> [@jz78817](#): > > I was trying to be charitable He eats raw meat off the floor, and rotten food picked out of the garbage. I suspect he’s like some of those older people you see on “Hoarders” with horror-filled fridges and is going senile. IIRC, he’s 77. ---

I doubt he eats raw meat off the floor. I doubt he eats rotten food picked out of the garbage. I doubt he is anything like people seen on “Hoarders”. I doubt he is going senile; I doubt he is 77. In short, I don’t believe anything he has posted. That includes things he has posted in threads where he contradicts himself. I am not sure he understands the difference between truth and fiction, or even that there is a difference between truth and fiction. ---

It’s more likely that he kept returning to the same county, not remembering that he’d already been there thousands of times.
