  1. Fucking cracker. The bastard is a classless vulgarian and that is what the worthless bastard was born and bred to be. Giving a piece of shit like that money is like casting pearls before swine. They are what they are.

    You mean like Kcir?

    You gotta play if you wanna win! Move your business down to the South. It’s the HVAC capitol of the Capitalist world.

  4. General Malaise, a farthing is a British coin that’s worth one quarter of a penny. So you’re saying that this guy is basically worthless even if he did win the lotto. This guy is evidently low life trash who’ll probably go thru that fortune like shit thru a goose.

  5. …Ive posted this before, but it still applies. I dont know too many lottery winners, so I have to go with what I know…

    I knew of a guy who won a lottery in the ’80s, when a million actually meant something.

    The reason I knew of him was because he immediately bought more car than he could handle, lost his leg in the ensuing accident, and spent at least the next several years spending his money in medical and legal bills from the epic fights he indulged in with his backdoor neighbor that often rose to the level of police and EMS intervention, and on at least one occasion resulted in his artifical leg being seized as evidence because he tried to club his neighbor with it in an epic fight they even tried to continue at the hospital because the Squad captain rashly routed BOTH ambulances there.

    Money doesnt change people, it just lets them amplify who they already are.

    Leaving the rest of us to really wish we could turn the volume back down, please…
