Actually, he had a stent put in. It was one of those bills he scanned to "prove" he had cancer and tried to redact it. It's really pretty much stupid Beth's fault, though. She took the ball and ran with it and the round one saw an opportunity. One of the things that perfectly represented the scamdal was the music threads. flyarm would post lyrics and they'd all pretend she was singing.
Well, there's no doubt the late red round one was suffering from cancer, though.
Everybody saw his certificate of death; the "primary cause" was infection, the "secondary cause" was something I forget, and the "tertiary cause" was pancreatic cancer.
But that still begs the original question.
The original question remains:
why the attempted scam by Doug's stupid ex-wife some months after the late red round one knew he was dying of cancer, and that there was no hope?Of course the late red round one was posting on Skins's island during the Scamdal, but remember two characteristics of his posts--(a) most of them were not related to the "fund-raiser" and (b) those times his comments were related to the "fund-raiser," they were shallow and superficial in nature, as if he wasn't too enthusiastic about saying what he was saying (i.e., as if he found it nuisancesome, but a favor he had to give).
I dunno about the bill from February, from the hospital in Seattle, but the "checks" and "receipts" were the craftsmanship of Fat Che and the sensitive lad, the piano-playing primitive. Images manufactured out of thin air.
And recall, madam, that the accounting office at Johns Hopkins Hospital was approached during the summer of 2005 with the images, their response being, "Those aren't the sort of cash receipts we issue here."
And of course our "foliage expert" had inquired of banks about the "checks," and the banks said, nope, they were missing some vital information on them, and so were obviously fakes.
