[QUOTE=Cartooniverse] Oh please. Then it stands to reason that my bullshit meter pegged on **Hal Briston** ’s post. Right? We believe one Doper but not another? NOW, I call bullshit. Why can’t the fellow have won? Because his English is imperfect? -cough- intolerant -cough- I know a woman who won the Pennsylvania Lottery about 18 years ago. She won 1 Million. Didn't stop working, but it sure does grease the skids apparently to have an extra 30,000 a year rolling in after taxes. No bullshit meter pegging here. I believe the guy. Cartooniverse [/QUOTE] Just the fact that he has sidestepped answering veiled accusations of tolling would seem to point to either a joke thread or someone just BS-ing people. I said nothing about his English, so you know what you can do with your intolerance insinuation, now don’t you? ---

[QUOTE=Cartooniverse] Why can’t the fellow have won? [/QUOTE] He _can_, of course. I just don’t believe it. I’m just saying that he claims to be a Scandinavian, and yet says very strange things for a Scandinavian. He has also diligently avoided telling us which country in Scandinavia he’s from, which Scandinavian lottery pays out sums equivalent to $3 million (I don’t know of any, which doesn’t mean they don’t exist) and so forth. ---
