and who had to pay for all the extra policework to protect the president while he was here for a fundraiser? I find it hard to believe that the City of Portland will be getting a check from the GW campaign...

well, you never did give us anymore information... what do the wires do? wrap around your car? protect something inside the car? are they somehow tied to a bedpost?

e-rock, are you complaining about self-assisted pagetops? ha!

what do the people at Whitman College say at rallies? "we're gonna do this missionary-style!"

don't forget about taxachusetts

that works too

Massachusetts I think? Shit, I spent 13 years of my life there and I can't even remember how to spell the damn state name correctly... On second thought, just say "Mass." or "MA"

they say it's a broadband phone company... too bad they don't have broadband internet (or maybe they do and I'm an idiot who can't read a website)

"frappe" is Newenglandese (perhaps Bostonese?) for milkshake. I guess a milkshake back there doesn't have ice cream...

Goonies!!!

here's a TV show idea: Bowling for snaffles!

RPI: Engineers (do they have to stop and work out the math for optimum speed, angle, and spin before making a pass?) and many years back my middle school principal wanted to change our mascot from the warriors to the "Applepickers"... luckily, he went with our suggestion of "Hawks"

yeah, no free ice cream, but it *is* a large ice cream shop, with (I think) all the flavors they offer available in bowls, on cones, probably also in milkshakes (I almost said "frappes" for those New Englanders out there), etc. Good stuff. hmmm, now I want ice cream... when are you going?

yeah, I gotta ditch the cable in favor of a less-raping high-speed solution.

I'm a huge fan of the ice cream, and I liked the tour (lots of automation), but if it's one of your last PNW days, I'd prolly recommend some climbing. If you haven't really been to the coast yet, then it's another story (go to the cheese factory, do some hikes along the coast, hang out at the beach, etc.) Just some ideas...

no cable here. I don't have time to watch TV as it is. Any Simpsons episodes I watch are downloaded off the internet.

why, because I'm not the moron who spent an ungodly amount of money on an obnoxious, resource-raping piece of shit?

There was one (H2) in front of me getting onto 217 this morning... I tried to see the driver to get an idea of what kind of moron buys one of those things, but the thing was so freakin high that I couldn't see in. The funny part is, I think my Outback has more clearance.

I laugh at the morons commuting in Expeditions when gas prices are this high!

I've become a fan of single layer stuff. No need to constantly stop and change layers... It works a little better on the legs than the torso though.

Attitude, what is that shirt?

it's right after the section on "if it's raining, slow down to at least 5 mph slower than the speed limit and drive in the left lane"

DFA is fucking iain?

I have no problem with climbing in caves so long as there are no bolts or chalk. Whenever I go caving, I leave things as they were before I got there. No dumping of spent carbide/batteries, no litter, etc. I try to pick up whatever trash I see in caves, within reason (the amount of trash in some caves would require a much bigger bag than I carry.) I don't think that the "well, it's only in the first 100 feet" argument really holds much water. Some caves aren't much longer than this. And even if it's a longer cave, why should we have to walk through crap to get to the good stuff? Chalk and bolts have their place, and inside caves is not one of them.
