edited to say: Where, exactly are the Twins?

Minnesota. Don't worry, sports knowledge is not the measure of an American, thank god.

A fake closed HTML tag is just the same as an open one. Do the slash yourself!

DIY slash. I should have known. That's practically the Buffista motto.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

That's called Munchausen by Internet (whether formally or informally), and it's getting common.

Had one of these at the old Bronze. Name was Penlind. She had eight children, one was dying.

We caught her before she could get money from anyone, but it caused a lot of damage within the community.

Totally sucked.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

There was a story on TAL about someone like that. It had to do with Rent message boards and the cast and stuff. Very interesting, but I can't remember the name of the show now.

Liar. We had two. I think you might remember who the other one was.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think it was the one about liars or pretenders. IIRC one of the other pieces was on a guy who pretended to have an English accent, another to be vegetarian?
