<< You're just jealous that there's more good bush in Texas than you can possibly imagine. :) >>



Hehehe...Hey, there are some good bushes in my garden...oh, you meant that kind of bush ;)

Yeah, I can imagine, given that the population of Texas dwarfs Oregon's there's probably a good selection of bush. But I think per-capita, Oregon's got it pretty good.

Because they all move up there from California. There's something about guys in Flannel shirts and missing teeth up in Oregon that drive them wild;)Just Kidding.. Hey I said I was kidding damn it.

My ex Wife is from Oregon. Beautiful but meaner than a rabid pack of dogs.

The sad thing is that I'm gonna hate Californians too just as soon as I move to Oregon. I won't have to live too close to either Californians or Oregonians once I move though, cause after I sell my house, I'll be able to buy half of Oregon. The bad part is gonna be no cable.

Edit: orty, i see you're from Bend. I'll never forget driving in the middle of the night and comming over a hill and seeing the sign that read Bend Or I did, with laughter.

Florida loses the war due to the numbers of people who live here and hate it. They turn into terrorists and spies for California.

No cable? How else are you going to perpetuate your slanted liberal views? ;)

Yeah, my blood grandfather (who I've met twice) did the electrician work in all of his mansions while Liberace was alive... both before he went all fruity and after.

I am well aware that it's an expression. Dragnet, right?

Joe Friday is the ultimate in dryness of expression. I wish I could be just like him sometimes.

Try again...not all of us are loggin' folks. I don't even own flannel! <hehe>

That would explain your hatred for Oregon however...if I had an ex-wife, I'd avoid the state she lives in, too.

How much money do you have that you think you're going to be able own half the state? That's the Brook's Brother's job (if you're a central oregonian, you'll understand).



<< Edit: orty, i see you're from Bend. I'll never forget driving in the middle of the night and comming over a hill and seeing the sign that read Bend Or I did, with laughter. >>



Which one? On both the North and South ends of Bend, we have infamous Bend-shrub. When they first grew that thing MANY years ago, people were like &quot;What the hell is that?&quot;. The shrubs have grown up a bit, so they actually spell BEND now, but before, you could never tell.

Why exactly were you coming through here in the middle of the night? Granted, coming through during the day would've sucked (two major trucking routes converge right in the middle of town) as traffic is attrocious.

Scenario II: Massachusetts vs. Iowa

[Tactical Evaluation]
Massachusetts
- Size, its small size leads to an advantage when underestimated
- Strong Oligarchical Government Structure and combat experience (the Kennedy's -->Arnold)
- Enlistment pool, very limited. Most are social liberals who could afford to move to Canada to avoid Vietnam.
- Strong industrial complex
- Infrastructure is optimum with sufficient highways and deep sea port access.

Iowa
- Size, medium size allows for initial land loss without significant peril to the state
- Enlistment pool, very strong. Noticeable portion of the population has served the former United States in it's wars abroad
- Society is very individualistic, with an emphasis on the small town city state. May lead to easy fracturing of Iowa as a whole.
- Industrial complex is very limited, emphasis in on agrarian production
- Commercial potential, good. Energy needs can be met with the production of ethanol and local large farming equipment can be reallocated for defense.
- Infrastructure, poor. Mostly farm to market roads serve as intra-state connections.
- Editors note - Iowa has an unforseen advantage in private fire arm ownership and marksman ability.

[Outcome]
Massachusetts makes early inroads into the country of Iowa, however, very little land of significant strategic value is lost. Massachusetts bureaucracy then slows their blitz across Iowa down as poor maps and roads that lead no where cause havoc. Iowa's combines and tractors, unabated by the absence of roads, criss-crosses across farmland and surprises the Massachusetts army. Iowa chases the army back to Massachusetts, only to make one horrific tactical error. They use the same bridge Ted Kennedy crossed that fateful night years ago. Thousands of lives are lost and no one is quite sure how it happened.

Swartzenagger takes command of the beleaguered Massachusetts forces and decided to attack Iowa from the North with the assumption that Tom Daschle would prove to be an ally. However, the bureaucrats failed again to realize that Swartzenagger had no real combat experience, and after being grazed by a round of shot from a 12 gauge, he surrendered his forces. He was hung on the spot for marrying a Kennedy, a capital offense in Iowa. A truce was called, but to this day John Deer continues to receive an unusual amount of order for combines.

[End of scenario]

Smuggling pot, of course. California real estate requires creative financing.






Just kidding.
