Ummm… “contrarian”?
He also advised getting a fake service dog certificate if you want to travel with your pet, but don’t want to put them in cargo. :smack:
That’s “useless ugly bag of mostly water.”
It’s not necessarily precisely the same, but it brings to mind the diagnosis (for children) of Oppositional Defiant Disorder:
What Are the Symptoms of Oppositional Defiant Disorder?
Symptoms of ODD may include:
[ul]
[li]Throwing repeated temper tantrums[/li][li]Excessively arguing with adults, especially those with authority[/li][li]Actively refusing to comply with requests and rules[/li][li]Deliberately trying to annoy or upset others, or being easily annoyed by others[/li][li]Blaming others for your mistakes[/li][li]Having frequent outbursts of anger and resentment[/li][li]Being spiteful and seeking revenge[/li][li]Swearing or using obscene language[/li][li]Saying mean and hateful things when upset[/li][/ul]
In addition, many children with ODD are moody, easily frustrated, and have a low self-esteem. They also sometimes may abuse drugs and alcohol.

Perhaps some children with ODD who grow up to be somewhat functional spend their spare time offering up turds on message boards.
Others register as Republicans and get elected to Congress.
Yes, this. Or maybe just “old coot”? IIRC he’s an older gentleman. I’ve always just read his posts as someone who really really wants the world to get off his lawn. His very exotic lawn that he cultivated from seeds he obtained from some arcane rain forest whilst he subsisted on lemur feces. And he liked it, damn it!
Lemur feces are perfectly safe to eat – you don’t know what you’re talking about.
I once found some lemur feces someone had discarded in a dumpster. I just washed off the coffee grounds, cigarette ashes and dumpster slime and it was a perfectly fine meal.
I was paraphrasing. 
Your post prompted me to do a Google search on jtur88. On another board, his “About me” page says
Now, this might be another jtur88, but it does sound familiar.
You may be thinking of Topper, who always has to up the ante on whatever anyone else says.
No matter what exotic locale someone mentions, it turns out jtur88 has lived there for several years or at least visited it multiple times. If he’s really been every place he says he has, he must be 988 years old.
This. Lemurs eat cinnamon and gourds so it’s kind of like pumpkin pie.
Sometimes seems like that; but from my own experience I spent about 12 years overseas and six of those were nothing but travel, as often as 2-3 times a month. It’s not difficult to cover a lot of ground doing that.
Herehe 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?).
Despite expressions of incredulity from several posters and requests to explain, he simply ignored them and proceeded to tell tales about his international travels.
It bugs me when he says things that appear contradictory, and then doesnt bother to explain, even when asked
Like:
“Being near home [for Thanksgiving] is pretty non-traditional for me”
and
"It will be the first time in a decade I’ve been away from home on Thanksgiving. "
Nothing to explain.
He’s full of shit.
Much like when he claims in one thread that he drives, or in another that he doesn’t drive. His only consistancy is that he’s stupid, and has at times offered dangerous/unethical advice. (Don’t go to the doctor, it’s okay to eat spoiled food, get a phony license for a service animal, etc)
You’d be full of shit too, if you ate what he claims to eat.
I’d think just the opposite, actually. Wouldn’t a diet of dumpster delicacies, roadkill, truck windfalls and banana peel smoothies tend to clean one out quite effectively?
Missed that gem.
