The State already has jurisdiction over the safety of our highways, where drunk drivers kill and injure more people every week than carnival rides do in decades. Pardon me if I don’t believe more state “oversight” is the answer to every problem.

If I call myself “Tim Horton” will you ask me 7 questions about my delicious chain of restaurants?

Horton(s)!

If the state is in charge of safety on highways, why the hell aren’t they jumping at the chance to fund public transit, which is provably safer? If more people rode a bus/train than drove on the highway there would be fewer traffic fatalities, and those numbers wouldn’t just be shifted to transit, they’d virtually disappear in a vapors of happily living people not killed by the dumanising nature of forced automobile use.

Forget the rides. What the state really needs is more jurisdiction over carnies.

Only the power of our state legislature can stop him and his murderous cohort before they strike again.

I would like a public tilt-o-whirl that I could ride from the bar in Minneapolis home to St.Paul drunk. Can someone get on thing.

tmayhem: I suspect the problem of moving people is just like moving data — everything looks pretty good with that system, up to that last mile between your destination and the heavy infrastructure.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my relatively brief tenure in industry, it’s that the format of the data can make all the difference, though. Less in terms of network theory and more in terms of how much time I waste converting things over to work in various places, though.

Richg, you have done more to promote apesgrapes’ career than any man in history.

Someone needs to. Midgets aren’t reaching the heights of fame they once did. Even parts that once would’ve gone to the small in stature are being usurped by a Wayans.

apesgrapes is available for funerals and wakes. I wonder what kind of funeral has that kind of entertainment scheduled.

If I had the time, I’d create an animated tif of apesgrapes poking his head through ceiling cat’s hole.

Sorry, Wayne, had to take down the image because of the formatting problem.

Tim Horton’s is part of the Canadian National Identity. It is to Canada what baseball and apple pies are to the US…

and just like everything else, Tim Hortons is an American property, in this case I think it’s Wendy’s — and I think hockey might have been more analogous. I’d go on, but I’m still having trouble coping with the reappearance of Ceiling Cat.
