I challenge the Lounge to prove that I exist.
I am not convinced by the posted evidence, myself.

3. It could...
....just be a clever ruse. I don't believe he exists either. I think he is a figment of Chavez's imagination.

10. Pffft. You always say that.
If I had a nickel for every time I replied to a random heuristic torpidity generator, I'd be a rich man.

Assuming that I exist, of course.

You're asking the wrong question.

22. you can't not exist if you employ reflexive pronouns.
Therefore, you exist. It's in the rules.

25. even better
jpgray exists because he truly understands lounge drama:

283. "They account for about 0.4% of Lounge posts. They're just obsessed over by too many
Nobody really cares--if you want to avoid them, it's easy enough to do so. Just remember anyone involved in Lounge drama has the best intentions, knows the "whole true story," and would never stir up any trouble. All this while spending 80% of DU time plotting snide attacks, sniggering PMs, and holding obsessive social grudges on an ostensibly political website. Such posters should just be ignored and left to self-destruct"

Without existing, he wouldn't have these insights. Unless he is God.

Holy shit...jpgray is god?

I will have to take this on a case by case basis.

although, when it comes to preserves, I find the cherry seems to go the quickest at my house...ymmv
