Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Well, look at the low post count. So did a mole win after all, or someone's sockpuppet perhaps?

Someone else won with a low post count. Could be Skinner's sock for all we know. That way he keeps all the $$$.

That is exactly what I think he is doing. It's either him or someone who is in cahoots with him.

29. Because we were running a contest.   
   
And the law for contests is different from state-to-state. We needed to make sure that we were in compliance.

Um, what? How many contests has Skinflint ran?  Enough that he shouldn't need his lawyer just to announce the winner, unless there were some shady things going on.

This thing is a total scam...both winners were low post count members.  Skinner is pulling a fast one on them.  How does he determine who the winner is?  Does he pull the winner out of a hat?

In this economy ? think of all the wasted calories pushing around a bigass shoeleather guzzlin' cart.

Not to mention- The stores that stock them are all Bush-lovin' rethuglikkkan operations.. Target, Walmart, Home Depot... Need I say more ?   :popcorn:
