Uh, oh – Marky Farky is deciding on [“where to settle down”](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=855301)(what, not his parent’s spare room?). I was SO relieved that my state isn’t on his list…

That’s true, but it isn’t really a problem. All you have to do is [buy a broken-down hovel in a Detroit slum](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=853224) and install your suffering AI there, where it can suffer away to its heart’s content as long as our Roman friend remembers to pay the electricity bill.

The added benefit is that local gangs will probably steal it within days and use the parts to make hood ornaments for their shitbox fart-can equipped street racers, thus putting the suffering thing out of its misery. Win-win!

Try to keep up, **wolfpup**. Detroit is off the list - turns out that insuring a car in a crime-infested area is actually expensive. Who knew? Now he’s threatening to move elsewhere (as linked by **digs** above) and Dopers are scrambling to list reasons why he shouldn’t move to their hometown.

At least he stopped bragging that he’d saved $50K and was ready to retire. Now it’s just a generic “lot of cash.” Good luck, sparky.

My apologies, I’m not really a close follower of the latest Roman plans and strategems for early retirement, nor was I aware that this landless proletarian even owned a car, let alone an insured one. I guess mentally I was picturing some kind of chariot.

No, that would require caring for some sort of animal to pull it. That’s work. MF don’t do work.

A guy with a name like Marcus really ought to have a chariot.

I should really post that in that thread here. I’ve used it, or near equivalents, on a couple of other boards and on Twitter.

To be fair, he probably _is_ protesting police violence in that picture there.

I’m relieved that this wasn’t a link to a “[some number of] women come forward with accusations of sexual harassment by Bob Newhart” story, as I feared.

The character he played in _Catch-22_ is the OP of that thread.
