The details of my life are quite inconsequential.. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

basicplus2··on A group of con artists rigged promotional sweepstakes throughout the 1980s
I remember entering a few car raffles in shopping centres years ago. Each time it was stated the winners would be advertised in a particular newspaper on a particular date.

In every case on that date there was a notice saying the draw was postponed to a later date.

On checking the new date, a further postponment date was listed. this was repeated about three times until simply nothing was printed in the newspaper..

so now i treat all car raffles as scams.
