A poem

[tuliptree76]

A rifle.

Thanks for that!

Mods are too fast. I no longer care about politics, rather I live to be in before the zot. I'm going to start doing Ib4tZ warmups every day before logging on.

****************

I remember the good old days, when the kitties could toy with a troll for hours, or until the smell of decomposing flesh drove us all away.

The Mods are lightning quick these days.

The IRA have gotten rid of AK47s (Kalashnikov) that you could have....

(The bastards are re-arming with new ones....)

[tuliptree76]

I need something that doesn't have too much kick. I don't want to fall over when firing it. ;-)

"Going to have to go into Seattle soon ..."
Come on down! Most of us don't bite. Drool, yes. But no biting.

LOL!

But I hate driving in. First there's the Mercer weave -- the guy who thought 520 should enter onto I-5 in the *left* hand lane, when the Seattle exits are in the *right* hand lane, should be shot. Then there's parking...

A rifle in automatic mode has less of a recoil than in single shot mode, this is because the recoil energy is transferred into the reloading and firing mechanism, of course this means also that automatic fire does not have as far a range. (one interesting fact also about the AK47 - the single shot mode is spot on target, while the automatic mode sprays bullets all over the place!)

[tuliptree76]

I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to stuff like that.

[Not A Snowbird]

That's why I take the train to work. Parking is expensive and people don't know how to drive.

Add in the confusion caused by the closure of the bus tunnel and you have... well, a mess.

Forgot about that. Yah. They build a tunnel to handle trains and buses... except somebody goofed and the tracks won't handle trains (at the wrong height?)...

... and with all that, and the wasted monorail money, Seattle now wants us to buy them a tunnel to replace the Viaduct? arrrgh!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I'm not an expert - I just take an interest in science.

[Not A Snowbird]

Oddly enought, the closure of the bus tunnel has impacted my morning commute by making me five to ten minutes earlier arriving to work.

They erected a bus stop on the train side of the street, so we don't have to cross 4th avenue to get a bus in the morning. We know the buses that stop at the new island all go down 3rd, so we just hop on the first one and go.

Plus, since those buses aren't electric, they can go down 3rd "pedal to the medal" instead of creeping along, hoping their poles don't fall off when they turn.

I like it.

[tuliptree76]

I haven't been around guns enough to know a whole lot about them.

[tuliptree76]

This is my decision: I'll just keep K'nigget as my title. Forget the sword and the armor and the gun. I'll just wear my baggy jeans and baggy sweatshirt and go up to the library to read tax books. That's the real tulip.

[Monkey Face]

It will be nice to have company...not to mention someone who dresses like I do! HEY! We can make that our uniform!! Woo-hoo!

[Irish_Thatcherite]

That blows the European media's depiction of America!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

You guys mind if I wear a caftan and ducky slippers?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

K'nigget: Keeper of the Books.

[tuliptree76]

No extra title. Just K'nigget.

[Monkey Face]

The ducky slippers will have to share space with my bunny slippers, is that OK?

Does this mean you'll join us?
