Iamit2900 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Congratulations, well done. If you have $1million spare I could really use it... school fees and the such like. That sounds like a bloody large payout. But will they payup I wonder.

Did you all pick up on that before you came here or was that a Neowin-influenced thing? :( I don't think you need to take offense, 99% of neowin is male. Besides that, when I am with my friends every one says "man, blah blah" no matter who they are talking to. It can be seen in this situation as the same saying "dude, blah blah blah.." read : "Dude, you can't be serious!"- Linguist deconstructs the word, sees many meanings http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6676586/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/258882-my-dad-won-a-billion-dollars-from-spam/page/3/#findComment-585129232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lav-chan Posted December 20, 2004 Author Share Posted December 20, 2004 I can't imagine all boys like it either. Why would you want to be called 'man'? It's like calling someone 'Jew' or 'Mexican'. You have a name; if people don't want to use it they can just refrain from directly addressing you at all. :/ (I wasn't offended, by the way. Just really annoys me.) Anyway, back to people repeating the same 'hay can u gife me sum moneyz??' jokes over and over....

SimplyPotatoes Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 That is a neat story. Should make your life fun for awhile, hopefully the payoff is huge. Congrats on the excitement and the money, I truely wish you well and hope, if you get a large potion, that you do not become an ######. I'd be interested in reading any updates to your story, as well.. it is pretty exciting.
