Things I Don't Understand

“1. A sign on I40 East to Knoxville "Drug checkpoint ahead. Vehicles may be subject to search" O.k? Thanks for the warning. I'll dump my drugs now. ??

2. Opinion polls where people log on or call a number to say that they have no opinion. What is the point of that?”

“Did you happen to notice the cam on the post, right away after you passed that sign. And the point if one is needed, is to confirm that the sign is being read!”

“The sign on I-40 WB a 1/2 mile from my house says 2552 miles to Barstow, California.”

“no way!”

“1.  Then the actual roadblock is up the exit ramp.   They screen the interstate without slowing down interstate traffic.

Isn't it grand, living in a police state?”

“O.k. that makes more sense. If you dump your drugs, you're ok. If you try to exit with them, you're caught.”

“Sneaky L'iL Buggers.”

“when I was growing up the barrier island across the water from me was (well it still is) 25 miles long and it had a bridge at either end. Anytime something went down the cops would set up road blocks at the bridges and check every car that came and went onto the island.”

“Seems like boats would then be the getaway method of choice.”

I put up that sign right next to property I own and with a fake camera right behind it. I take in a fine haul every day.

“The sign in front on the Wal*Mart door that says, "No Animals (Except Seeing Eye Dogs)." who is that for?

The sign at the McDonalds drive-through that says, "Braille menu available upon request." who is that for?

these things make no sense to me.”

“You can buy drug tax in advance, if you wanted to know that too.”

“stomper, ;)”

“Hmmm...Stomper worried about a drug stop???”

“it's like the empty cop cars they park on the interstate to slow people down.”

“Sometimes they put a dummy in them and it's funny when the dummy falls over the steering wheel LOL”

“2. Opinion polls where people log on or call a number to say that they have no opinion. What is the point of that?”

I really don't have an opinion on that.”

“i don't think there is enough internet space to list all that i do not understand.”

“I knew a guy once who said he had it all figured out.   The guys with the butterfly nets came and took him away.”

“to the funny farm where green things grow and basket weavers sit and twiddle their thumbs and toes. they're coming to take me away ha ha hee hee ho ho. . .”

“That's the one!

We never found out if he had any Trendy Chemical Amusement Aids or not, but he managed to stay awake for three or four days, then on Tuesday afternoon these guys came into the dorm and dropped a net on him like Wild Kingdom.

He was kinda wacky before that, also.... I don't recall anyone being too surprised.

But, man, he had it ALL figured out!       LOL     You see, Patty Hearst had just been captured and his parents knew some college professor named Hearst and it was all related to this Loggins & Messina album he had.   We were all going to be famous and he had to have all our names spelled correctly in his notebook for when the story hit the papers.... (because he had it all figured out, ya know).

Fun-Fun-Fun!”

Police state? They are enforcing the laws that the people enacted. Take your dopey self to rehab. We don't want you getting high and posting crazy messages.”

“LOL..Tilty and his POLICE STATE...Tilty poo you are the one who keep seeing good when the government takes more and more of the responsibility for your life away.

Hey its like living at home with mom and dad..(which some people may still be doing...NOT that there is anything bad with that (LOL))> when you live at home and they suck up the Responsiblity you have to give up some freedom....”

“I don't understand why some people don't use turn signals when driving? Do they think they are just better than everyone else? Do they have entitlement issues? Or maybe they just don't care or are too lazy.”

“this drives me crazy (turn signals). i actually don't notice it as much when i am driving but when i am out running it drives me MAD to know know which way a car is going to go at an intersection. i have had more than one driver wind up turning rather than go straight and as they turned into me gave me a, "get the hell out of my way" look. putting on a turn signal, at least for me, is basically an autonomic function. it requires no effort or mental energy. to me this is a clue as to how lazy people are that don't use their turn signals.”

“cruise control.
use it people.”

“Using cruise control makes me feel weird! Out of control, like I'm not doing anything...which then makes me freak out...so basically I never use it.”

“I use CC in the City.”

“lyra - that is one of the signs of a control freak”

“Well don't you think it's a little weird to be in a car that's moving w/out you doing anything?

P.S. You better not say anything like that to me again, or ELSE!!

Moohaha.”

“I hate the jerks that keep speeding up past me and then slowing down, while I'm using cruise control. They keep me having to go off cruise control every few minutes, as I catch back up to them on the interstate..”

“lyra, since you're one of those weirdos that don't use CC you may not be aware of something: the rest of us regular, CC using people hate you and your "i'm gonna drive 50, no wait 75, no wait 45-mph" driving ways.”

“egg-xactly, SS.”

“It's almost always women with a cell phone stuck to their heads.

“LOL...how bout the little old lady who you try to speed up to pass and they keep ooching up their speed with you.....

I was on the Interstate the other day and granny was going 72 in the left lane....so I get along side and am TRYING to pass...shortly I noted we were at 85 and she was matching me mile for mile.”

“tahts because they don't use CC. They subconsciously use the nearest car as their speed to match.”

“thats what i think too, hyway.
but that is no excuse for making me look like the jerk for clogging up the left lane, when it's really lyra in the right lane driving like schit.”

Well, you're half right........hee-hee.”

“It's ironic that so many people who raise cain about their property rights or their guns have no problem with laws that dictate what substances people cannot put in their own bodies.

Consequently, 'liberty' in this country has become a joke. We are now 'free' to live by someone else's morality.

One would think people would have learned SOMETHING about the corrosive effects of prohibition in the last century. Creation of a black market and a criminal underclass is a given. The only way they can ever hope to succeed is to clamp down further on the population. Even having everyone who wants a job urinate in a jar hasn’t done the trick.

Unfortunately, we seem to have citizens who draw comfort from living in a police state. This has become more apparent in the last seven years.”

“I will not deny my freakiness!

If you people can't stay going a constant speed w/out using cruise control, sounds like you're the sucky drivers. Burn! I'm actually an extremely awesome driver, I've never been in one accident or gotten one single ticket...never even been pulled over.”

“i remember reading one time that like 90% of americans think they are an average or better than average driver.

something tells me that lyra is part of the deluded 40%

BTW, we still love ya, lyra, just stay off the roads, K?”

“Oh come on, if I was a cop I would pull you over just so I could look down your shirt.”

“I read somewhere that Sacco and hyway are provoking me, and I'm going to beat them up (if I ever meet them). My fetus will totally kick your asses too, s/he's a very hard kicker.”

“whooohooo, lyra wants to get physical with me.”

“And another thing, I see people driving the same speed even when the road or traffic situation becomes less safe, and also doing unsafe maneuvers to try to avoid slowing down for one second, like tailgating and passing too close...I would wager they're on cruise control!”

“I'm sometimes one of those people you talk about Lyra but I don't use CC since its broken. The thing that pisses me off the most is people on CC passing another person who is only going a few miles slower then them. It takes 10 minutes for them to pass.”

Dude, that's like seventy million percent.”

“I don't have cruise control.”

“doubt it live2bfree. please refer to my previous post:

thats what i think too, hyway.
but that is no excuse for making me look like the jerk for clogging up the left lane, when it's really lyra in the right lane driving like schit.”

lyra, i acutally agree with a lot that. when the roads are clear and dry i pass 5 cars for every one that passes me. when the conditions suck i bet 10 cars pass me for everyone i pass.”
