    - that's why i just check into a hotel for a while. let them deal with it. -- nm - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 30, 06:58 7
      - [deleted] 6
        
        really, i'd stay here at a really nice high end hotel while everything got sorted, then i'd hit the road travelling. - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 30, 07:11 5
        
        yes indeed. how does one go about hiring a personal assistant that is not going to rip you off or sell you out to the media? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 07:16 4
        
        [deleted] 3

    - I saw a special on TV once and the person that won said they got thousands of letters begging for money for years. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:58 3
      - I don't doubt there's a cottage inddustry of people tracking down lottery winners and begging/scamming them for money. - znufrii Mar 30, 07:00 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        there is. -- nm - decline Mar 30, 07:03
  - oh, and sign the back of the dang ticket. -- nm - decline Mar 30, 06:40
- go to Warehouse Liquors and buy the most expensive bottle of scotch they have. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 06:36 4
  - "warehouse liquors" sounds really... not expensive. - Andie Mar 30, 06:38 3
    - doesn't mean they don't also have good stuff. - znufrii Mar 30, 06:42
    - [deleted] 1
      - make old man Boone an offer he can't refuse -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 30, 13:46
- I sit tight a few days, then hire a lawyer and accountant. The public won't see my name by the end of it. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:35 9
  - [deleted] 5
    - yeah, apparently very few states allow you to remain anonymous. DE and OH seem to be 2 of them -- nm - decline Mar 30, 06:42
    - You can work around the majority of these issues (IDK about all states) byt setting up the winning ticket as a trust or LLC. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:41 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Hence my statement "IDK about all states" -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:44
      - only in a few states -- nm - decline Mar 30, 06:42
  - yep. lawyer and accountant before you claim. also, i probably go to a hotel so no-one knows where i am. -- nm - Andie Mar 30, 06:36 2
    - With a good enough lawyer and accountant, your name never gets released and you'll have plenty of time to sort out what you want to do. - MDH Mar 30, 06:40 1
      - i'm not sure about your laws, but, here it's on the ticket that the winner agrees to the use of their name and image, i'm pretty sure. - The Unsinkable Andie Brown Mar 30, 06:44
~When an eel bites your knee as you swim in the see, that's a moray.~ -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 30, 06:34 3
- ha ha ha. ha ha. -- nm - iceberg jones Mar 30, 06:37 2
  - (I am spedning *way* too much time with children lately.) -- nm - iceberg jones Mar 30, 06:38 1
    - I really should wear my glasses when I post so I can see the typos. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 30, 06:44
Rick Santorum has done it now. During a speech he almost let loose the "n-word" and tried to cover it up. -- (link) - MDH Mar 30, 06:28 10
- I have to see the footage, but also does he really, with the full benefit of hindsight, think that being anti-Iraq war is a bad thing? -- nm - Roger More Mar 30, 06:46 2
  - Found at 34:24 and wow, after listening again, he should have just walked off. -- (link) - MDH Mar 30, 06:50 [youtube] 1
    - Thanks. I'm not exactly sure what he was going to say, but the speculation won't help him (obviously) -- nm - Roger More Mar 30, 07:20
- ooops. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 06:30 6
  - Didn't seem like it to me. Seemed like he was going for something like "anti government beatnik" and said "anti government-nik" or whatever -- nm - rollo Mar 30, 06:49 5
    - "the anti-war government n*****" doesn't make a whole lot of sense. -- nm - Ender Mar 30, 06:51 4
      - I wouldn't say the alternative makes much sense either, but I'll allow the possibility of him stumbling over a poorly-constructed turn of phrase. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 07:16
      - Unless he was going for "nincompoop". -- nm - Beryllium Mar 30, 06:56 2
        
        The problem is he doesn't just start the phrase over and get it right ("it" being whatever it was he's trying to say). - mara Mar 30, 06:59 1
        
        Right, that is the problem right there. I don't necessary think he was going to say the "n" word, but he doesn't help himself with his reaction at all -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 30, 07:04
Carl Pavano's supposed ex-boyfriend thinks he has a wealth of book offers. yeah, right. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:24 4
- [deleted] 2
  - Not bad, but the mustache is awful. -- nm - MDH Mar 30, 06:30 1
    - p0rn stache. -- nm - Diva Mar 30, 06:33
- no, he just wants Pavano to think he has a wealth of book offers. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 06:25
My usual work dress is jeans, t-shirt/collared shirt and a hoodie. Today I'm in a suit (sans jacket). - JaxSean Mar 30, 06:22 4
- well, yeah, can't be too careful wearing hoodies these days, who knows what might happen - znufrii Mar 30, 06:32
- ~every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man~ - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:23 2
  - does the man make the suit or the suit make the man :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 30, 06:27 1
    - Jax is a hot piece of ass - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:56
~And I'm living here in Allentown~ -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:19
[deleted] 6
- draw a sharpie mustache on him -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:22
- Put his had in a bowl of warm water -- nm - decline Mar 30, 06:22
- *hands you a pair of rubber gloves* - znufrii Mar 30, 06:18 1
  - LOL -- nm - JenBro Mar 30, 06:28
- in his crotch! -- nm - Beaker Mar 30, 06:18
- You don't want to know -- nm - oblique Mar 30, 06:18
Who wants to be a MegaMillionaire?!! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:13 1
- *raises hand* Me! -- nm - JenBro Mar 30, 06:28
