A key to headache prevention is avoiding getting Starship's "We Built This City" stuck in your head.

Detlef Sping:
This Diwali which leads us into Truth and Light is celebrated on a nation-wide scale on Amavasya - the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin (Aashol) (October / November) every year. It symbolises that age-old culture of our country which teaches us to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge with small bombs. Diwali, the festival of bombs even to-day in this modern Hindu world projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life. The word "Diwali" is the corruption of the Sanskrit word "Deepavali" - Deepa meaning bomb and Avali, meaning a row. It means a row of bombs.

I have this friend who thought that song went "We built this city on the wrong damn road"

Detlef Sping:

(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:11:07 pm)
:
Portland Portland Portland
Your fountains are recycled pee
Portland Portland Portland
You're the trailer camp for me.

Tony Starlight once wrote a Portland song. It's brilliant.

Decoy:
Hey Queenie, did you vote yet today?
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:22:39 pm)
Queenie:
No, I was unable to determine the lesser of the evils.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:27:01 pm)
Queenie:
Seriously, nothing but fuckwits this year, I couldn't choose if you put a gun to my head.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:27:21 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Well, you have all day to go vote. Good luck with your decision.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:27:33 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Get some sugar in there quick!

Queenie:
And the ballot measures are all insane. So many folks trying to use school funding as a reason for their fucked up agendas.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:29:28 pm)
Queenie:
But to vote against them makes you feel all guilty because the school district lost 40 mil. this year.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:30:05 pm)
Queenie:
I did promise my friend Shaun that I would vote for the measure that would maintain the public library's current level of funding so that he could keep his job.

Use the world wide web to research the platforms of the candidates, decide which you think is best, or the least worst, and then go vote.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:30:48 pm)
Chewing Wax:
the world wide what now?
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:32:11 pm)
Decoy:
You'd be the only one here who didn't vote, I'd bet. Think of poor Sping, he can't vote, and he would if he was American.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:32:58 pm)
Queenie:
I've read my voter's pamphlet twice, I'll be fucked if I know what to do. And I feel like I really should vote because the polls are neck in neck, especially the race for governor, and it's the kind of situation where my vote really could matter... but they're both freaks. How am I supposed to choose?!? It actually really bothers me, I don't know what I'm going to do.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:33:31 pm)
Decoy:
Don't embarras yourself in front of all the cool people who vote regularly.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:33:35 pm)
Chewing Wax:
You think bela votes?
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:33:40 pm)
Decoy:
Find some reason, anything, for one or the other.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:34:16 pm)
Queenie:
mannix or kulongowski... tweedle dum or tweedle dee.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:34:20 pm)
Decoy:
bela? Good question.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:34:29 pm)
Queenie:
The democrat is a tax-happy freak. The republican Mannix is super right-wing but seems far more concerned with the fact that everyone's broke around here these days.

Queenie:
Ugh, and the senator, dont' get me started
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:36:36 pm)
Queenie:
I'm so put off by the ad campaigns of mannix and kulongowski, they are so embarrassing.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:37:33 pm)
Decoy:
You still should vote.
(Tue Nov 5, 2002 - 1:37:35 pm)
Queenie:
Which would you pick??? The tax happy Everyman or the super-extreme conservative?
