   If you don't need to prove anything then why do you go out of your way to   
   try and impress people with your stupid claims Moccasin Joe or whatever BS   
   nym you're using this week? You evidently have *unlimited* time to waste   
   trying to impress people with your BS so why not prove everyone wrong.   
      
   (Like anyone is stupid enough not to know why you run away like a scared   
   little girl.)

   Yes. Certainly closer to reality than your Ferrari, mansion and boat.

   Yawn... talk is cheap. And that's all you can afford is talk.

   So the answer is that you don't own shit and that's why you're unable to   
   post any picutres. It is certainly answered.   
      
   After all, a photo of your 1983 Chrysler K-car isn't going to impress   
   anyone. Your bullshit talking doesn't impress anyone either. Of course you   
   know that... you're just out for a (s)troll. Trying to get that attention   
   that your two dads never gave you when you were a child.

   I'll contribute to your income by dropping a quarter in the tin-cup of some   
   subway hobo.
