I won 50$ on my "random nutter off the street" bet; but first I had to convince the others that a junkie is a nutter. Everyone else bet that she was some kind of protester or terrorist.

Um, Fnord? Not to be contrary, but unless I'm mistaken only the original poster said or implied she was a protester/terrorist. :?

Still, you did call it.

If she was a protester, she'd be better off pouring some instant cement into the toilet. No boom, and no chance of hurting anyone.

:lol: Thanks!

The people I bet against are a local crowd of generic conspiracy theorists - the kind that see The Invisible Hand in every traffic citation on their car and pile of dog poo in their yard. The were all up in arms about Socialist trains-gender jihadists blowing up retail stores for fun and profit.

They're fun to bet against.
