«Kevin - King of WiFi» *lives almost in the herford zone* (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:33pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» just close enough that i get the weather, but not the snow days (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:33pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» grumble* (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:33pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» I'm off to class (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:35pm) «Gordondon son of Ethelred» farewell fair wallers wherever you fare. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:36pm) «Kevin - King of WiFi» bye bye (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:36pm) «goovie is married!» david morreale? no, i don't much go for cute guitarists with cute goatees who give me hugs and free stuff. i mean. um. :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:36pm) «goovie is married!» bye gordondon. i get to see you tomorrow! (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:37pm) «John J. Ryan» JJR's sis got married waves hi to Gella (Sep 19, 2002 @ 3:39pm) «lawrence» hrm. I think I've found one thing I actually like about where I live. I can pay my personal property tax online. that was easy... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:12pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Whoa...Lawrence owns real estate?! Goodness. I've never known a landowner before... :-) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:17pm) «lawrence» er. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:20pm) «lawrence» I own a car. :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:20pm) «lawrence» actually, I don't even own that. Toyota still owns most of it. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:21pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Oh, you have to pay property tax on vehicles? (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:26pm) «lawrence» yeah. our last governor, though, ran on a campaign to completely eliminate it. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» umm./..I think we do here, too...but we call it the license fee or something... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «lawrence» and he won on that, and then eliminated 70% of it, and the state ran out of money (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «lawrence» and so he couldn't eliminate the other 30%. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «lawrence» (although he tried) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» or do you have that, too, and this is in addition to it? (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «lawrence» I think this is in addition (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:27pm) «lawrence» it's the tax, plus $24 flat fee for the winshield decal. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:28pm) «lawrence» er, windshield (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:28pm) «lawrence» and then in May, I have to pay for my plates. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:28pm) «Rob Balder» I forgot to do that. Good thing my check comes today. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:29pm) «Rob Balder» The mailing broke me. If the check from the contest han't come yesterday I wouldn't have had gas to get to work. Or food. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:30pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» hmmm...okay. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:30pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» I was blown away by the fact that you have to purchase a decal in Chicago... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:30pm) «lawrence» (the windshield decal fee is actually done by county) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:30pm) «lawrence» really? I always thought that was pretty standard... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:31pm) «sheryls» i know in indiana your plates cost a percentage of the value of your vehicle. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:32pm) «Rob Balder» I've lived with it all my life, but I guess maybe there was no county decal in Texas (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «sheryls» my grandpa always paid a fortune for his caddy. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» although it's something I agree with in principle...a user's tax. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «lawrence» see, that actually makes a little more sense - combining the tax and the registration. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «lawrence» Michael - definitely. I'm a little torn, though, because on the flip side it's a tax on non-liquid assets... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:33pm) «lawrence» plus, you have to pay it even if you don't drive the car. gas taxes would make more sense as a user's tax, I think. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:34pm) «lawrence» (and they have that here, too, and it's insanely high, I think) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:34pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» It used to be that way in Minnesota...but then GOvernor The Body changed it. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:34pm) «lawrence» ... why am I not surprised? :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:35pm) «Rob Balder» I'd prefer anarchy and leave me the hell alone. The system they used in Mad Max. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:35pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» (umm...the registration fee being based on the value of the car, that is...) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:35pm) «sheryls» lol - governer The Body :D (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:35pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» It was on a sliding scale, starting high when the car is new, and dropping to $75 after 8 years or somesuch. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:35pm) «Rob Balder» The Body Politic (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «lawrence» yeah, that's basically the same as the personal property tax here. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «lawrence» only we have to pay it in addition to plate registration. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rob: I'd prefer a benign dictatorship, so long as I'm the benign dictator. :-) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «lawrence» heh. well, naturally. :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «lawrence» the ideal form of government... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «Rob Balder» Michael then you just need the car with the most guns. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Rba: Heh. Don't think the City Pages in Minneapolis didn't get milage out of that term. :-) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:36pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Lawrence: Twice in one year we agree. This is getting scary. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:37pm) «Rob Balder» It occurred to me this morning that my reign as emperor would end up being fairly Stalinesque. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:37pm) «lawrence» it happens more than you think, I'm sure. :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:37pm) «Rob Balder» Heheh I bet (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:37pm) «Rob Balder» Soooooo many offenses would carry the death penalty. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:38pm) «lawrence» heh. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:38pm) «lawrence» "Talking out of turn! DEATH!" (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:38pm) «Rob Balder» And there'd be other rules. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:38pm) «Rob Balder» Example: Go ahead and have a car alarm. But if it goes off and your car is not being robbed... (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:39pm) «Rob Balder» ...any passerby would be allowed to smash your windshield. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:39pm) «lawrence» heh. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:39pm) «lawrence» howabout if it goes off and your car isn't being robbed, then anyone is allowed to rob it, to at least justify the alarm going off? :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:40pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» heh (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:40pm) «Rob Balder» Sure. Some kind of reasonable limit on property damage or theft (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:40pm) «lawrence» "oops, I tripped. oh look, the alarm went off...." (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:40pm) «lawrence» "my car now." (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:40pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» I like Adam Carolla's idea that anyone who falsely calls 911 automatically gets whatever they were reporting done with them.\ (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:41pm) «lawrence» oooh. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:41pm) «Rob Balder» When I was a kid I sincerely believed that if you took medicine and you weren't sick, you'd GET whatever the medicine was for. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:41pm) «lawrence» Rob - hrm. the "morning after pill" would kind of suck then, huh? (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:42pm) «Rob Balder» LOL (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:42pm) «Rob Balder» I wish I remembered more about my screwed-up thought processes when I was a kid. I definitely thought about things in weird ways. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:43pm) «Rob Balder» I remember "discovering" in kindergarden that you could tell when someone was looking at you because their eyes pointed at you. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:44pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» I somehow grew up thinking that anvils were made of lead. Not really sure *where* I got that from. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:44pm) «Rob Balder» I was convinced that this was a super power that only I had. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:44pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» heh (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:44pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Oh, so *that's* your mutant-ability... I was wondering. ;-) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:45pm) «Rob Balder» When I was 10 I came up with a perpetual motion machine. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:45pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» It was funny and scary at the same time...like a werewolf eating the cast of Seinfeld. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:46pm) «Rob Balder» I had just learned that generators and electric motors were essentially the same thing. So I decided that you could hook a motor up to a generator and run it, then (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:46pm) «lawrence» most 10-year-olds are perpetual motion machines. :) (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:46pm) «Rob Balder» use the power from the generator to run the motor and take some power away. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:46pm) «Rob Balder» I was so excited I tried to call President Carter. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:47pm) «Rob Balder» OK maybe I was 9 (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:47pm) «Rob Balder» Possibly 8. Information wouldn't tell me how to call the President, anyway. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:48pm) «Rob Balder» "But I can solve the Energy Crisis!" (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:48pm) «Rob Balder» You'd think I would have learned from that. But in high school I thought of another perpetual motion machine. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:49pm) «Rob Balder» I was convinced this one would work. You take a boat, like a rowboat, and you punch a hole in the bottom so it springs a leak. The kind that squirts up in the air. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:50pm) «goovie is married!» misconceptions of your youth on chicklit. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:50pm) «Rob Balder» Then you use a nozzle to direct the squirt over the side of the boat. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:51pm) «Rob Balder» And outside of the boat you use a little water wheel to get power from the faling water. The boat sinks forever. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:52pm) «Rob Balder» What a shame cartoon physics can not be exploited that way. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:52pm) «Bareena» Hi. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:58pm) «Bareena» Cartoon physics is cool. (Sep 19, 2002 @ 4:58pm) «Bareena» I especially like the priviledged role that perception plays in mechanics (can't you tell I've been listening to humanities scholars all day?)
