Rumor has it that he drove an SUV, and also turned down a BBW who asked him out while he was pitching an extended warranty at Best Buy. Called her a Nazi, too. ---

> [@Jimmy Chitwood](#): > > Completely untrue. You’re thinking of **handy.** Handy what? Handy Wipes? A friend of mine while in college tried developing a product he called Handy Wipes, which he felt would revolutionize butt-wiping as we know it. Basically a dispenser above the toilet with paper mittens in it. ---

Basically a dispenser above the toilet with paper mittens in it. So what you’re saying is, he got banned for his controversial innovations in the rectal-purification technology sector, eh? An anal revolutionary? ---

He was playing a passive-aggressive game with the content free drive by posts. Over time the game became tired, but in the medical posts it became potentially dangerous. He received more mod warnings before banning than any other poster I can recall, except possibly Collunsbury. He just couldn’t stop playing the drive by game with the mods and they eventually cut him off. ---

> [@vanilla](#): > > he’s working on the Kerry campaign… Definitely grounds for a banning;) Assuming, of course, that’s what happened to him. It’s not really clear from the posting history, is it? ---

Had **handy** been more like Batman, he’d have never been banned, because he’d have been prepared for any eventuality. ---

Well I once had a cocker spaniel so I know a thing or two about threads. And what’s in them. This girl I dated once was a nymphomaniac. Did you know that if you put your face in front of a car exhaust for 15 minutes a day, your skin never ages? And it’s not dangerous at all.
