He was definitely one of the all time must read covers posters. One of his most compelling stories I want to rehash and add valuable insight.
It was regarding a man from Ohio named Michael Larson. He was an unemployed, down on his luck ice cream truck driver. So as he was going through his daily doldrums, he stumbles onto the TV game show, Press Your Luck.
Then one day, it just hits him like lightning from the blue, and he discovers that there's a specific algorithm that determines where the cursor on the flashing prize board will land. This of course required a lot of time, effort, and utmost concentration, but he put in the work, then made his way to Hollywood.
Well it would stand to reason that luck bestows favors on those who put in the effort, and so he did indeed become one of the chosen contestants.
He put his discovery into real game execution and set an unprecedented record of 30 something non whammies for a whopping 100k plus in cash and prizes.
The point to be taken here is that even you trolls can do something useful and exciting, of you commit to not being such a zombie head.
Licking your chops for an opportunity to criticize another.... That is not much of an ambition at all. It's not too late to change, but as yogi Berra said it's getting late, early

Would make a lot of sense that he was scal....and why would anyone create a thread about scal unless, of course, it was he...so instead of everything being black vs white he is fixated on trolls and points in baseball...
He's douchey enough that it's possible
COVERS allows u to tell someone they are sexually frustrated so long as ur hands are clean

He ended up paying more or less all of his winnings in taxes, then he thought (Read "Thought") he had found a way to win in a phone lottery (where you had to match numbers with the serial number of the dollar bills you got) - which made him withdraw a shitload of cash (which he was robbed of - mainly because he couldn't skip the chance to rub his "wealth" in the face of others) - then he had to flee to Florida on fraud charges (since he basically cheated everyone including his own brother) and ended up dying about 10 years later.
Cliffhanger: So just highlighting his "Press Your Luck" success story would be like saying Bill Cosby was a great actor (that all actors should look up to) without mentioning all the bad things he did
