Now answer the second question.

I will, on Monday.

This Monday, or next Monday?

I had the same scheduling conflict with "Everybody loves Raymond" (except BizB).

I'm with you on that, brotha!

I caught a few eps of that on a transatlantic flight one time (captive audience), and couldn't bring myself to even crack a smile.

Learn English.  Come here legally.  Do things we don't want to.  Get healthcare and an education.  And shutup!

Damn.  That's not too much to ask!

Actually, most do learn English, do come here legally, do do things we don't want to, do get healthcare and an education, and do shut up.

I'm telling you folks, this is a tempest in a teapot.

QOTD:  When you were in eight grade, what did you want to be when you grew up?

An internationally adored rock god.

And for Monday, since I'll still be up at Dartmouth...

QOTD:  Is that what you are?  (refer to last question)

That's right. Rub it in.

We were watching a Keith Floyd episode in which he travels to Viet Nam (filmed a few years ago). Here is something interesting Keith said:

While one side was fighting on a diet of doubt, fear, hamburgers and cokes, the other had a clear conviction of victory, a daily cup of rice with snails or rats, and a handful of dried fish. As a cook, and not a military historian, that's where I think the battles were won.

Bakunin.

What kind of tractor do you drive?

You have that in a notepad file on your desktop now, don't you? 

HA-HA-HA!!!! I'll give you one guess what *I* have in a notepad file on my desktop, all formatted and ready to go!

(Hint: It begins with the words "Sweet Jesus!")

I know few word answers arn't acceptable.. but I think I can sum it up with the word "firewall".

You don't get it, do you.

So do I.

The key term is "skript kiddie", 14c3r|>4.

State laws must be different here.  On a limited access road, freeway/interstate, you are more of less allowed 14 mph over before there are any points added  to your license.  In other words it is payable up to that point and nothing is reported to the insurance company.

Personally I usually run about nine or ten over the speed limit on roads like this and have never been pulled over for going that speed.  Unless they are new or an eager beaver the police usually want to cause you as much grief as they can if they are going to bother pulling you over. 

In California, it also depends on who is pulling you over. Depending on whether it's local police, county Sherrif or the CHP, and depending on which city or unincorporated county area it is, you might or might not be required to appear before a judge, pay a fine structured in one of a variety of creative ways, be required to attend traffic school, or merely mail in a check. You never know. And of course I've seen officers completely ignore BMWs zipping by at 80 mph but pull over a beat-up Pinto because it looked suspicious. So there's no telling. One speeding ticket I got was for travelling no more than 15 mph above the limit on a deserted stretch of road. This was quite a few years ago. The officer was very nice at first, but things got a bit chilly after I handed him my licence. Turns out, it had expired months before. Ah, the recklessness of youth!
