perhaps so . . . if one WANTS to go shopping.

Not for me, Dr. J. I didn't make the Best Of cutoff. No appeal to either voters or woot.

Tired of havin' my chain yanked . . . laterz

Ms. Name,

If Gman had gone shopping, he could have come back to find that the attendant had locked himself out a second time, and still be left with the same wait.

Compare this with Fridays, where my trip home averages 76.1 minutes.

I have spent $370.75 on gasoline so far in 2008.

I also spend too much time in my car, but it allows me to listen to a lot of books on CD...

hi everybody!

wow, kenney, what kind of car do you drive?

bye everybody!

Wow, just found out there's a post office in a Meijer store nearby that's open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. six days a week. Have to make a note of that.

Have you seen pictures of the women that have been taken out of that polygamist ranch in Texas? How could they stand wearing those dressess? To their ankles, long sleeves, high necks. Jeez, I'd die of the heat.

People who live in the desert cover themselves with light-colored clothes, to limit sun exposure and to limit water loss from perspiration.

I think of Lawrence of Arabia.

A lot of those dresses are not light colored.

Lady Poof,

Perhaps that is why they look so unhappy.

dontwantaname wrote:I bet the men look normal.

How come the religions that make women cover up like that don't think it just makes the men look weak.
The men can't look at any part of a women without losing control?

But the men are weak. They do seem to loose control. Especially when you've got stuff like polygamist camps. . . .

I think if I was running a polygamist camp, all the women would be dressed in swimwear. When they were dressed, that is.

Mr. Qubd,

I drive a 2005 Toyota Corolla CE, base model with hand crank windows, baby!

The sticker says I think 34 MPG highway.

I drive the posted speed limit in the slow lane, which means I get passed by most everybody else on the road.

I really want to get one of those bumper stickers that says "Horn broken, watch for finger!" but the lovely Mrs. kenney9226 will have absolutely none of that nonsense. In reality I added TWO aftermarket TRAFFIC BLASTER horns of different notes, so my little pansy Toyota horn is now meshed dissonantly with these two mega horns. It totally gets other cars' attention!

Mr. Kneny,

Perhaps Mrs. Kneny would go for a sticker saying "Horn broken, watch for pucker."

I almost get the same results with my POS 1999 Kia Sephia. I don't have as many stats on it, but driving to my folks I have gotten over 40 mpg, but I think I had a tailwind.

edit, it's hard to type with all this 'help' I'm getting.

The adult women didn't look particularly svelte.

Ms. KtC,

I'm almost to the point of getting Miss 1 her own keyboard and mouse.

Another difference between their camp and mine, Lady Poof.

awesome!

On a trip to VA Beach I said "screw it, I'm a-gonna FLY!" and drove as fast as I could, 75-80 the whole way. I thought my mileage would totally suffer, but I still got I think 36.5 mpg for that trip.

In college I had a 3-cylinder, 55 horsepower Geo Metro. It weighed in at a hefty 1500 pounds. That got about the same mileage as well. One time I packed it with 7 guys and we figured we probably doubled the wright of the car.

What was really fun was when my friend and I drag raced our Geo Metros against each other. To other people, we were accelerating normally, but we were totally hammering the gas as hard as we could!

Orc was doing that for a while, which made it worse for me, I made him stop. Her sister has the froggy keyboard.

Okay, what I don't understand about your little proposal here, is why would any man want to surround himself with that many women? I mean sure if they're actually putting out or at least pleasant for viewing that's alright, but how long is that going to last. What about when they are all PMSing? I mean seriously, most guys can barely handle being around the one wife, but to have a whole herd of 'em. . . .

Not to hurt your feelings, but the interstate is 75 here. I do at least 80 (unless for some reason I am driving my runt truck -- '84 GMC S-15) Not that I drive the interstate that much.

Ms. KtC,

Boy, am I glad I have all of you PWAers to help me work this stuff out beforehand!

That could be a problem, especially if all the gals, uh, sync up. OK, since this is a camp, how about three or four rotating crews of wives, each crew not interacting with the others? When one crew goes into berserker mode, they rotate out to a remote cabin, another crew rotates into the mansion.

I don't think these women PMS. They're not allowed. I'd bet they're all subservient. *shudder*

Ms. KtC,

Do you like living there, or would Mr. Orc and you be willing to move to find work?

Yes, we like it here. Yes we are considering moving. Gotta lead?

Ms. KtC,

Well, there's this polygamy camp I'm starting...

Actually, no. Since you mentioned that you rarely get on the Interstate, it sounds like you're in a pretty small community, i.e., not that many jobs available, so I just wondered if there's a better area for you.

Yeah we are in a pretty small area, but also if you look at the map there just aren't as many Interstates on this side.
