Wow, Utah has some real winners...

However, after browsing some of the other states, I'm rather excited to go to California and shoot at whales while speeding down the freeway. It's perfectly legal, you know.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

But it's okay for the secretary to be in the room with the boss if both are male?   Hum...this is San Fransisco, after all...

in nebraska you cannot park youre horse on main street, spitting on the sidewalk is a $50 fine and it's legal to carry any type of weapon as long as it is not conceled.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

Actually, I was under that impression as well.  Maybe I don't know my own laws very well.  (After all, I've never tried carrying an automatic weapon down the street--concealed or otherwise.)

I don't know about some of those.  They seem pretty...well, silly to list as Oxymorons.  Like 'Living Dead.'  Well, duh.  When I think of an Oxymoron, I think of a clever juxtoposition of words that--when you think about them--are actually opposites.  Things like 'living Dead' don't cut it for me.  Neither do 'ha ha' droll ones like Government Organization.

Brandon was the first person I thought of when I found this poem by Samuel Coleridge:

Just kidding.  It's a pretty terrible poem, though - what's up with that?  I thought that Coleridge was "da bomb" or something til I read this piece of garbage.  Ugh.
