Ha Ha. What do you know boys and girls, I might actually get to keep it. I can’t give the specifics, for legal reasons. I might buy myself a TVR Tuscan. So, which other dopers can share this level of achievement with me, and might I enquire how old you are? (I’m 27 going on 28). Heeeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I made it ma!, top o the world!!! ---

Congrats. And on the off-chance that this is legit, I’m officially applying for the position of “new best bud/sponge”. ---

Great! 🙂 Become a Member of the SDMB! $14.95, I think. Also, you should buy a pony. ---

Oh it’s legit… but there is a slight chance a proceeding deal could brake through, in which case we gotta return the champagne - remember when you squeeze it back into the bottle, make sure you don’t leave any dead skin in with it. The geezer who sells 'em hates it when I do that. ---

As long as it can iron shirts and play the ukelele with one foot, I’m happy. Which reminds me, I gotta consult my surgeon, Nick Riviera. ---

I’m 32 now, and there’s a very real chance I’ll be a millionaire in 1-2 years - no broken laws or Nigerians involved, just good ol’ American capitalism. But I have an awful lot of work to do in the meantime to help this process along. Don’t worry, folks, I’ll be sure to start my own thread if and when this happens so I can have a bunch of new friends, too. 😉 ---
