the petition will not be online, those "signatures" would not be legal and would thus be useless. If you call or email the folks running the committee they will most likely send someone to you with a stack of petitions (assuming you and some friends are gonna put some work in) or mail you one to pass around the house and mail back.

WE ARE DOING THIS

I was hoping there would be more signing locations. I currently don't have a reliable mode of transportation and the northern suburbs of detroit lack public transportation. I'm here for the cause in spirit! If you find a way to sign the petition online, feel free to share.

UCC1/Soveriegn Americans

You ought to try to not assume you know more than you think you do. The world is vast and vastly multifaceted. I make no claim to belief in this UCC1 buisness. I know of it to some degree. I doubt it would help anyone.

Most importantly you and I do not know each other, and so should never make assuptions about what we know and belive repectively.

I made a mildly crippling infusion using mid grade cannabis, mint, honey and vodka. After 3 weeks or so it was very nice!

WE ARE DOING THIS

I like the debt collector parallel.

WE ARE DOING THIS

What is really happening is that the cops are mere debt collectors for a private agency you may think is actually a government agency when in fact it is little different from a shopping mall and its private security.
(I expect hostility from this comment, but try me. I have stories to tell)

WE ARE DOING THIS

How can anyone be "ok" with living in any manner of inquisition? These are my herbs... This is my body... This is my religion. If men and women are free to destroy the lives of others through interests of capital, or ego driven piety, no one should deny me my own pursuits lest we live in a truely lawless world masquerading as a lawful one. To infringe opon anothers free will is to create controversy. To claim that someone else is corrupting you by what they do to themselves is to admit incompetence or lack of self control. No such person is fit for any office or authority.

WE ARE DOING THIS

Well, good luck!

There are a lot of variables out there like how do the cops gauge how stoned you are? Short of a urine test which can take a few days there is no quick diagnosis available like the breath test for alcohol.

I'm all for seeing it pass but there are a lot of barriers in the way.

WE ARE DOING THIS

We got med-pot here a few years ago and the goddamn government keeps fucking with us, so we now have a petition to amend the state constitution which reads as follows.

Article 1 Section 28. Repeal of Marihuana Prohibition.

For persons who are at least 21 years of age who are not incarcerated, marihuana acquisition, cultivation, manufacture, sale, delivery, transfer, transportation, possession, ingestion, presence in or on the body, religious, medical, industrial, agricultural, commercial or personal use, or possession or use of paraphernalia shall not be prohibited, abridged or penalized in any manner, nor subject to civil forfeiture; provided that no person shall be permitted to operate an aircraft, motor vehicle, motorboat, ORV, snowmobile, train, or other heavy or dangerous equipment or machinery while impaired by marihuana.

We are only a few days into the drive so far but things are looking very good. If you live here get off your ass and get some signatures. If you don't live in Michigan please call anyone you know who does and tell them to get off their ass. If you can spare a few bucks we could use it. After all someone has to pay the printer and such. full details HERE

All of this means nothing. We now literally live in a police state. I hope indefinite detention without due process wasnt the "change" you were hoping for.

UCC1/Soveriegn Americans

Be careful with this. This is a rabbit hole. It is true codes and statutes are not law. But this point will get you nowhere with people, and especially not with any manner of supposed authority. Learn how and what it means to contract. Then you can proceed in your day to day life while still awake.

Climatic instants draw so near
But when invited, they disappear
Engorged with fury, self-loathe is high
Surrounded with worry, my instincts die
Pulled free from the depths of depressing abyss
The tide draws near, my frustrations dismissed

It's too bad we couldn't work out... se la vi. "Drought of manipulative excuses" seems a bit harsh, though. There was definetly a drought, but depression was the deciding factor during that time. Best of luck on your future endeavors. (I do miss the sex, though)

From the moment I opened the book, I found myself entranced with anticipation of the next page throughout the night. I read it in one sitting and highly recommend it to all.

most gas pumps also have stacks of credit card applications from our favorite criminals in suits. they also have prepaid postage. Not that i would recommend taking the whole stack every chance ya get.

Great trick LT! I'll be saving mine from now on.

I get one now and then with a window for the address, that when you put the reply inside the address shows through.
It has the "pre-paid by####" for the postage.
I write a letter to someone and put their address on the back of the letter so it shows through the window and drop it off in the mail.
It's worked everytime so far.

Yeah, I did that too for a while at Andy Rooney's suggestion. I stuffed in all kinds of useless crap in and I still do once in a while.

Lions set to roar through NFC North

I've always been a diehard Lions fan and I have usually been disappionted with their decisions during the off seeason. This has changed. We are set to have one of the best defenses in the league this season. Key players havee been aquired on both sides of the line. They are actually making some progress for a change. I expect them to b e playoff contenders this year, not division, but wildcard is definetly within range.

da fookits

And then, after a long and winding journey, a tipping point is reached. Compromises discarded, hope tarnished, faith abandoned for saner measures. The point where you no longer can stomach another bitter drought of manipulative excuses, because regardless of any reasons offered, you know there's no reason to accept any further disrespect and disregard

406 Error: Not Acceptable

Slak - I dont believe this is a TA bug, but maybe there's a fix.

Fukkin around with the internet browser on my ps3, I checked out a few sites to test it out. When I tried TA, it gave me the 406 (which i didnt hear of until now.)

The main reason I mention this is that this is the only site that happened with.

Weird yo.

did you know

A Little bit of Unknown History...

------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------------

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.

But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss.

Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko De Mayo.

For some reason they don't work for me anymore.

The nature of matter and the universe

A atoms structure is identical to the structure of a solar system is it not? What does this say about the essence of matter?

fear of a culturally conservative hat

here is another example of someone who, probably through no fault of their own, is colossally ignorant of what cultural & religious conservatives really believe.

Stupid Canadians

My friend who occasionally drops by here under the screen name Faust happened to pick up a pack of the new Garbage Pail Kids while we were at a 7-11 the other day...

Apparently the manufacturers seem to not think very highly of our neighbors to the North...

Of course, when he pointed it out to me, you were the first person I thought of Smitty!

War in Iraq

I had lunch this afternoon with a friend who got back from Iraq just before the holidays. This is the first time that we have had/made the time to meet since his return. I was nervous about seeing him, especially given my feelings about our current situation in Iraq.

When I got to the restaurant, the very first thing that struck me was how DIFFERENT he looked. We are about the same age (26), and if you met him for the first time you would still probably guess him to be in that range; but something was just very different. He was bigger first of all, more muscular. He said that they spent in inordinate amout of time lifting weights. But there was something else. Something more mature. Something more aloof, and less inviting about his eyes. It was difficult to put my finger on it, and even more difficult to try to put into words.

So we made the basic small talk. Gossiped about our friends, talked about my new job, and school, caught up on family happenings. Finally, I got up the nerve to ask what I had been dying to know, "Are you ok? Was it just awful?"

He seemed somehow detached from the situation. Almost as if he were relating stories that happened to someone else. He said that he does not think that it was as bad as the American media portrays it all, he said that he was never really afraid for his life. He did have to pull his weapon (though, only once) on a group of protesters. He said to me, "It seemed so un-American to pull my gun on people protesting in their own country." Yes, I imagine it does feel that way.

He is going back in June. He doesn't know for how long. Apparently, that means that we are still planning on being there in June. Are we going to end up raising another generation of young people who are depressed, detached, and disillusioned with being Americans?

When will this be over?

Follow the twisted path.

I have no idea where to put this, Slak can move it where you think fit.

From my journal:

Quote:

Ever wear Satan’s horns? For a minute? For a day? It seems I’ll wear them my whole life.

Feels like I’ve never been home, and all I want is to go back. It doesn’t make sense but like the songs say, it just isn’t supposed to. I left her there to ponder what I’d said, with words resonating a sound of “stay if you love me” but echoed the sound “if you love me then follow me.”

Drinking more bottles than I knew Wisconsin made, shaking myself to wake up every morning, voluntary or not. Caring about you hurt me more than any scar I’ve given myself. And all this time I thought the carved railroad tracks would bring you and your taste back to me somehow.

Hollow and throttled, I go fast but no clue where. I wish I were home. With all the loves lives I’ve lost, yours stays mounted like a trophy so I’ll always no where you are. I cant lose the memories you gave me, as much as they make me cry.

Late at night when the traffic lights dance around with the shadows of my ceiling fan, every now and then, I imagine you next to me. As dishonored and disaffected as we may have been, the disease we believed would retreat and decease just pleased. We sure did the poetry thing to death.

Although you have chosen to go on like you’re Godzilla and I’m Tokyo, I know what you’re trying to say. I’ve been thinking it too. We can never trust each other.

Why should two people who love each other so much go on with out each other? You’re right sweetie. They shouldn’t. I could end yours first. I could end mine second. People will talk about the love letter we’ve left. The train is going to come in after all.

Johny shot a man in Reno to watch him die, and look at the attention he got. Imagine the attention we’ll get from our song? Micky and Malorie don’t have anything on us. Love isn’t a joke.

I wake up from this dream every day. It seems I’ll wear these horns the rest of my life.

I was man enough to admit this to myself.

Rules of Engagement

Well, last friday night i got engaged. i'm the happiest i've ever been. i just thought i'd share with the TA community seeing as how i spend so much time dorking around this site

__________________The Story_______________________

She and i met about two and a half years ago. We were preparing to go to Mexico with a group from church to do some mission work (not the kind where you go and hand out bibles, that always seemed silly to me, but the kind where you go and do manual labor and bring supplies and yadda yadda yadda). We were doing a fund raiser dinner and we all had to be waiters for the dinner. She and her sister were standing at the front of th room and i was with my older brother. We had recently found out that her younger sister was my "prayer partner" for the trip and that she was my brother's. She and her sister were very shy and didn't know anyone so my brother and i thought we'd go talk to them.

We talked for about 5 minutes and then got back to work. i left the conversation with her and went and sat at a table of friends and said "If i could marry any one person in the world right now it would be that girl, i don't even know her last name, but i know it'd be her."

A few weeks later we went to Mexico and the two sisters and my brother and i were inseperable. The four of us hung out constantly the whole week. It was such a great place to get to know someone. The conditions are so horrible there and everyone is so tired that there's no point in being fake. Everyone looks like crap because no one showers the whole time and no one has enough energy to put on a facade. Life there is just simple and it was an amazing place to meet my future wife.

After returning from Mexico there was a few weeks where we didn't hang out all that much and then a few weeks of "relationship limbo" where i'm not really sure what we were. She's almost five years older than me and we were both getting pressure from friends and family to not be together. It was very difficult because our families mean so much to us and we hated not having their 100% support. The good thing about it was that once we decided to be together we knew that we needed to really enjoy the time we had because no one else was going to. It forced us to skip past all the BS that most relationships begin with.

Needless to say, everything worked out fine. The next two years were amazing. We've enjoyed more time together than most relationships are lucky to have due to my (up till recently) flexible schedule. My only job before a few weeks ago was being a drummer. Which meant i had ample time to just hang out. She's a nurse and works 13 hour days. The 13 hours sucks but it does mean that she only has to work 3 days/week. So, we've been able to spend a lot of time together and really build a strong foundation. It has been the most enjoyable experience of my life.

It seems like all the guys that find out i'm engaged just say "very cool, congrats" and all the girls say "OMG!! How'd you do it!? What's the ring look like?! Have you set a date yet?!"

So, i'll explain how i did it and the ring and the date we've tentatively set, just for all those interested. If you're not interested, it's ok, i won't be offended, just skip the rest of this post.

_____________The Engagement_____________

The engagement happened Friday night. We both worked that day but i got off at 4 and she got off at 7. When i got off work i went and got a haircut and took a shower and did all the normal things one would do as he was about to embark on a life changing moment.

Before i picked her up i went to the playground where we had our first kiss and dropped off six dozen roses. Then i went and got her from her house and took her to our spot. She was very surprised to be there since we've only been there once since we first kissed there two years ago. She was even more surpised by the flowers. Then i got down on my knee and asked her to marry me. Thank God, she said yes. i tried to put the ring on her finger but it was apparently a little too small, an obstacle that i never even thought of. But with a lot of force the little ring fit over her knuckle and was very securely on (the ring has since been re-sized and fits wonderfully now).

Then i sang to her. i know i know, it's the cheesiest thing ever. But she has always wanted me to sing this one song to her and i never do. If there was one time in my life where i would actually sing to her, it was then. And so, i did. We both cried a lot and hugged for a long time and things were wonderful.

i had anticipated her getting out of work a little later so i made dinner reservations for much later and we now had a lot of time to kill. So we went to church to pray. We got there and were surprised by a pretty large group of people praying for a friday night. We very soon discovered that they were there because apparently there's a pretty nasty custody battle going on. So, all of the angry family members decided to get together and pray that night....out loud...and angrily.....not exactly the mood that myself and my fiance were in at that moment. So we stayed about five minutes and then bolted as soon as it didn't look obvious that we were leaving because of them.

We then went to our parents' respective houses and told them the news and celebrated a little. After that we went out for a nice dinner and the night was over.

____________________The Ring___________________

The ring is a family heir-loom (sp?). The first guy in the family to get married gets the ring from his mom to give to his future wife. My fiance is the fourth generation to wear the ring. Kind of a cool tradition i think.

________________The Wedding Date_______________

We're thinking the weekend after Thanksgiving next year. i believe it's the 27th of November. That way, all our family will be in town and off of work anyway for the holiday. Also we're guaranteed time off every year for our anniversary.

___________________The End____________________

So, that's my story. i'm sorry it was so long. i just thought i'd share my new and exciting news with the people here at TA, where i've spent the last two years arguing and forming new opinions, as well as getting to know some pretty damn cool people.

Harmless interwebz fun which turned sour

Over the last week or so I've been worried that my website could land me in some very hot water.

keenaschips was a site I ran that a few of you visited, the content revolved around taking the piss out of the guys I went to university with and the guys I work with at john lewis. It was all in good humor and everybody laughed and everybody rejoiced and everything was good.

john lewis is a very large dept store retailer in the uk with a very strong brand image of respectability and british upper class. Over the first six weeks of autumn the company ran an advertising campaign on TV and in print. The TV advert urged people to come inside their homes for autumn and to buy autumnal purchases from the retailer such as lighting, rugs and duvets.

Well, I thought it would be funny to take this advert and urge the consumer to spend puberty with john lewis. Basically the advert I made was a very funny take on the original, being sexually suggestive and containing soft porn. It also had a cool soundtrack.

All of this was hilarious and the advert was well received from my co workers, then I found out from an anonymous source that the site was being investigated by john lewis top brass, including the managing director and general manager of the branch at which I work.

I also recieved the following good natured emails.

Quote:

Hi guys,

Your stuff is funny but this is a serious warning from another Partner who
actually has a sense of humour that JLP are onto you and I think you may be
In a lot of trouble.

Up to you what you do now but I recommend you get your armour on!

Quote:

I'd get that JL advert off your site sharpish. Spedan knows and isn't happy.

As you can imagine, I was pretty worried as my source informed me that the possibility of sacking or liable was mentioned. So I've removed the site and written a faux apology on the site which I hope will paint me in a good light, showing that I do have a good sense of morality.

A week has passed since all this went down, and I've been assured by my immediate manager and his boss that I'm in no serious trouble and all I'll get is maybe a slap on the wrists or a letter warning me to watch my actions. Their is also another very serious investigation on a website made by an ex employee which is very vindictive. I can't help wondering if the website is actually my own.

For now though, I'm not worried about it and am recoding my site in strict XHTML, CSS and PHP.

Artificial Insemination

How does everyone feel about artificial insemination of animals, to preserve a species?

The Salton Sea

Sometimes, old friends are the best friends. Other times, they're no less than the proverbial carpet tack that gets lodged in your foot during that early-morning barefoot walk to the john. I was reminded of this fact when an old friend, one from my long lost days of questionable activities, suggested that I take some time to watch The Salton Sea.
"It'll remind you of old times.", he said.
It certainly did.
Although it left me feeling about as nostalgic as a swift kick in the balls, I must admit that I was moved by this film. It takes place in and among the small circles of raving derelicts that make up L.A.'s "tweaker" scene. For those of you who are uninitiated, the term "tweaker" refers to your average meth head, speed freak, spiker, or whatever local term you use to define some poor slob with a speed addiction. In a quirky throwback to the days of film noir, the movie shifts in and out of a dream-like state of poetic narrative. The main character (a surprisingly original performance by Val Kilmer, by the way) is a mainstay of the perpetual search for the all night-all day-all-night-all the next day sort of non-stop house party that accompanies the lifestyle of the habitual speed user. The film follows him through his run-ins with flipped-out drug dealers as well as his part-time gig as a rat for LAPD Vice, an activity that nearly leads to his cock being chewed off by an angry badger (you have to see it to understand). The film takes a turn for the truly surreal, however, when we see him alone in his ratty apartment where he takes down a locked box from the top shelf of his closet. Inside is a gray fedora, a jazz trumpet, and a California driver's license with his picture, but not his name. From there on, you slowly but surely learn why he became a rat for the LAPD. I'll try not to give away any more, because after this turning point it all gets a bit hard to swallow. It is no more unbelievable, however, than the timeless state of mind that a speed bender will put you in. This film draws you into the sleepless void of questionable reality that is addiction, and it makes you like it. And I can promise that you will walk away feeling far less insulted than you do with most movies these days.
We meet quite a few entertaining characters throughout the movie- Such as a character played by Adam Goldberg who convinces his small circle of tweakers to accompany him on a raid of Cedars Sianai hospital to steal Bob Hope's stool sample and sell it on Ebay. We also get to see Vincent D'Onofrio in yet another disturbing role (who would have guessed?) as a noseless crank dealer/meth cook of questionable sanity named "Pooh Bear".

I give it 4 out of 5 speedballs.

Hi Matt,
Hey I was just wondering if there's any way for the quote tag not to turn into all that HTML when one edits a post. overall, any turnng back to html is kind of a nuisance... but that one is particularly tedious, nahmean?

when tried to postmy server kept going to an

Not a bug, just a question.
