HELP: I have no clue what the 'tollbooth' craze is about. Should I even bother to trace it back

[hisownpetard]

to its roots, reading all the posts related to it in chronological order, or will it
be over by the time I figure it out?

1. I dunno....

I think maybe it's a response to the proliferation of threads about suicide?

2. I came in late on the tollbooth craze.

I don't know how it started but I joined in.

3. I"m not positive, but I think "Midlo" and "Bunko" were involved

oh, and Delaware, definitely Delaware (or was it Virginia???)

4. No

It's just silly stuff. I hope it's over by the time you figure it out.

5. Well, thank you all for answering. I think I'm gonna just let this one slide.

Too much real crap to digest about the campaigns.

6. I haven't paid close attention, but I think it was a

good-natured spat about driving through Delaware (lots of tolls) and ragging on LynneSin as a resident of that state. Teasing Lynne, is how it got started (I think, but really am not even close to being sure).

I have no idea what the Lee Mercer thing is all about, and it just sort of exploded so fast I figured it had already passed me by... :shrug:

7. I've only seen two threads about it, but I know it's

an ongoing joke/battle between LynneSin and a few others from around the DE/VA/NJ area about tolls.

I've tuned out many of the bland thread starters, amazing how it got about a 90% hit rate this time around.

8. Thanks, all.

I guess I'll catch the next one that comes around.

9. It all started on Le Petomane freeway...

Has anybody got a dime? Somebody's gotta go back and get a shit load of dimes!
