No he's not.  He's 57, works at a canning factory and drinks lighter fluid.
He sold all the postcards for the stamp value and went into cabbage farming
till the bottom fell out of the market then sold up the land to buy mustang
engines to use as wind turbines.  Why the hell he did that I don't know.
I also don't know what the hell happened when he started the turbines, but
there was a loud noise and the next thing you know his wife and 17 kids were
gone and the paddock was covered in blood and bone which is a fertilizer
apparently.

Anyway, he's realised the error of his ways and doesn't want postcards any more
so stop sending them to him.  Now he's collecting the top buns of Big Macs
(The top one's got all the seeds on it).  He wants to get into Guiness as
the most pointless fucking waste of net bandwidth since "Make money fast"
first pissed people off.
