Of course it's a tugboat. He's been around too long as a mooch not to have one.
There are so many lolcow mysteries, and Lou's income is one of them. We have so many theories, but no hard data! Did that YouTube budget man end up being a sex pest after all, or can we hope and dream that one day Lou will show us all a voluntary audit?
My bet is that if Lou gets gov't money, it goes straight to Denise, and Lou doesn't know the specifics of it. Is he a secret sped like Kaitlyn Wilcher, or is it a structured settlement from that mysterious car accident in his childhood and he never took control over it at 18? A mystery. Lou does flounce and lie way too much to work the system with good success, but Denise spent enough time working the single mom con to know how to fill out forms.
n.b. I am not saying Denise was a con artist because she was a single mom, just that that was the sympathetic identity she took advantage of, while also stealing kids' toys and possibly having sex with horses. And you gotta fill out forms if you want your kid to get resellable stuff from the Giving Tree.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE. Damnit, this is why it's important to clarify your antecedents. Is the "man that's dying" also the man barricaded in the basement, or did the dying man barricade
Lou in the basement?
If Lou was told he wasn't "carrying boxes right," he could have been unpacking things from the move, or he could have been carrying boxes of Coach's peritoneal dialysate. Dialysate is
heavy--a pint's a pound the world 'round--and it's great big plastic bags of fluid, inside protective plastic bags, inside cardboard. If the cardboard were wet or damaged, or if the box were already opened, the bags can break through. They're a lot like the syrup bags for a soda fountain.
Alternatively Coach told Lou there was Diet Dr. Pepper Strawberry in the basement/garage, then walled Lou up with boxes of pee-soaked furry doujinshi, jarred spaghetti sauce and dialysate. I'm picturing a three-way cross between "The Cask of Amontillado," a South American Easter celebration, and, eventually, the Kool-Aid Man.
So I guess Lou's not going to church today after all, then.
