Scott_J Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 The Euros have a better welfare system than the Americans that is why they can take these lay off so easily. Hell, the 80's in England spawned a whole new breed of climber because of gov't dole program. Quote

Shit, let the people who want to work go ahead and work. Those who would prefer to climb and live on a relative pittance and eat canned cheese? Let 'em send! Quote

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Canned Cheese Recipe: 1. Get laid off or obtain employment with compensation putting you below the poverty line, perhaps with a great employer such as McDonald's, Wal-Mart, or the like. 2. Head down to your local welfare office, sign up, and wait for your USDA cheese to show up in the mail. It will be in a can, as will your 5 lbs of peanut butter. 3. Steal a can opener (you can barely afford your share of the rent on the studio apartment you share with three other people -- like you can afford a luxury like a can opener?), and crank open that tin of premium cheddy. 4. Enjoy a slice, perhaps garnished with USDA peanut butter and maybe some powdered milk sprinkled on top. Yummers! Quote

They should feel good about doing their duty by providing for the common good. What kind of sicko feels bad about perpetuating the philanthropic tradition? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted November 3, 2003 Author Posted November 3, 2003 Aboslutely tru story: In 1979 I ate government surplus nuts and oatmeal and a bit of cheese as my main food sources during an extended climbing trip. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 See, people? If our own good Republican the Puge' can see it fit to spend a little time on Team Uncle Sam, so should you! Govy up and get clippin'! Quote
bunglehead Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 Some of you folks talk about working your ass off like it's a good thing. If my money goes towards The "guvimint" arranging to give us us ALL more free time, I'd be very happy. Quote
