So if I don't use the roads and highways, I shouldn't have to pay taxes for their upkeep?
If I don't have kids, I shouldn't have to pay taxes for schools?
It seems like if our forests and wilderness areas were truly public, their maintenance would be covered through general taxation. User fees start us down a slippery slope towards privatization, I think.

Dick Van or Jerry Van?
Just stage names. His real name was Penis Van Lesbian.

Holy crap graupel, that site is crazy! I don't know where they get their info. . . tax forms? I looked up a bunch of people, found them, and then looked myself up. It's got my birth date, phone number, my work address, my parents' address, my dad's office address. Plus you can do background checks. I'm glad I'm not stalking material.
Yeah, it's a little scary what's out there. But I noticed some weird (incorrect) stuff too: two of the addresses they had for my mom were apartments I used to live in, and another was my in-laws' address. And when I looked up my wife under her married name, she had my birthday.
Take note, would-be stalkers!

So are we being taxed double with all these user fees? That's what it seems like to me.

thinking outside the box
action items
pushing the envelope
results-oriented
...etc.

There's also magpies in abundance, and last time I was there I'm pretty sure I saw a vulture or two.

Is that Napoleon Dynamite?

I'd say it was mold, but there's no way mold would grow on or near a twinkie, is there?

Looks like it.

I think the GGK-penned email would be way scarier than any actual visit could possibly be.

One-night stands only, huh?

It didn't sound like there was any refusing to let parties get past on the part of Party #1. I thought the chief complaint voiced by Party #2 was just the overall slowpokitude of the other party.
Jason had the most thoughtful post on this discussion. If this is going to get rehashed I hope he puts his 2 cents in again.

Exactly!

Are you disrespecting his member?

Chilliwack is a pretty funny name all by itself.

Here's Bunglehead in full-on fly gear looking to pick up some honeys at the Kenosha Pacer Ralley.
Even though the Gremlin is clearly the superior machine (the first American-built import!), I'm thoroughly entranced by the Pacer's sleek stylings.

Now that's funny!

boring, oregon is almost in the cascades..
And not too far from Boring you'll find Wanker's Corner.

Bill, that Wilfred Owen poem is classic. Also the Philip Larkin poem that Snugtop kicked off this thread with is excellent. Never read that one before.
Here's one I like:
The Snow Man, by Wallace Stevens
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

I've always used friggatriskaidekaphobia, myself. Must be my northern European heritage.
