New drink: Crystal Clear Truth!
No way did you donate over $100 in food to a couple families of crack
heads. You didn't buy a turkey for you either, at best you'll be
celebrating Thanksgiving with a turkey sandwhich from Subway... you
are another faker here who has never cooked anything. Anyone can talk
food because everyone eats, but that doesn't mean everyone prepared
what they claim to have eaten with no proof other than key strokes.
Real heros don't boast about their deeds, that you posted your fairy
tale here PROVES you didn't donate a crumb.
The dwarf has proven he donates his time and efforts to a food bank
but he has never claimed to have donated mucho pesos worth of vittles,
plus it's extremely rare he mentions it. Had you said you volunteered
to cook at a soup kitchen I might believe you but that's not what you
said. You are a fake, a liar, and a fraud... you have never been in
the US Navy... no one here has ever seen a photo of you aboard ship or
in uniform... let alone anything you have claimed to have cooked.
Personally given a choice I'd much rather have the Bove here than you.
Even though at times annoying at least the Bove is kind and attempts
to be helpful, you are a snide mean spirited bitch.
