[OpNet] Got My Kicks on Route 66.....

Recommended Posts

Um...yeah. So I ended up making the trek over to Chicago to look at this "Chicago Defender Action Force" project Interceptor's set up and thought I'd share the adventure with a few postcards I snagged along the way.

When I was a kid I would pretend I was the Alien whenever I was traveling. Kind of gives you a new outlook on new places. So I put Alien's notes on the back of these. Some of them got kinda...strange.

Postcard1.jpg

I picked this up in New Mexico. The back reads: Historic Route 66 takes one on a nostalgic journey from Chicago to L.A. Born in 1926 she is now over 66 years old and "Still kicking..."

What a fucking lame postcard. You'll notice that it takes people AWAY from Chicago to Cali. This was the first sign or several bad omens that would follow. And yes. I don't care if your land was taken for a bunch of beads and the white man killed all your buffalo. Your pottery sucks. Get over it and go to AA. Hell, my ancestors were slaves and we got over it....why can't you?

:Sigh: sorry. Saw A LOT of Native American wares being peddled over New Mexico's Route 66. Sorta got to my brain.

Seriously: These people can't honestly be representing the Native American's Struggle, can they? It's such a schlocky example. :Sigh:

LOOK AT IT! LOOK AT IT!

"World's Largest McDonald's has 29, 135 Sq. Feet.

This facility spans the Will Rogers Turnpike.

Built in 1957, It Became a McDonald's Restaurant in 1987.

A Unique and Distinct Oklahoma Landmark."

Will Rogers turnpike? Unique Landmark? Is Oklahoma this lame?

The answer may be yes.

And NO. I did not really save the eggs. I DID enjoy my Pax happy meal though. I kept the toy: The Pax launcher (with real spinning action).

More to come later, you won't believe what I found in Missouri.

BTw I did NOT take the bike. I borrowed a friend's car mainly because I wanted the leg room and the option of picking up hitchhikers. smile At Night. In the Rain.

Oh ye feeble Baseline gonzo journalists, look ye on thee works of thee mighty PROPER HORRORSHOW and despair...

Man I got a laugh out of the crap pottery routine. You do Nova interviews for N! don't you? If I wasn't so hot right now I'd be forced to give you one. An interview that is of course.

Now, must tip off Greenwar about the worlds biggest MuckMurder. Thanks for being so specific about the address smile

Yes it is very demeaning to whore oneself out for little or no redeeming reason. I mean after having over a century of genocide performed on your people selling cheap pottery to earn whatever meager living you can is just soooo tacky. I mean that to me is almost as bad as hosting some campy show on N! or something.

Hey Totem. What part of my show & career prostitutes the fact that my ancestors were shipped here in chains? I whore myself for that which I love. Yeah I'm a whore, but at least I'm not whoring myself over a cultural tragedy.

I don't get why you're defending these people. Have you even seen Route 66? There's no way all these people are real Indians anyway. Just people selling "Authentic Indian Pottery" or signs that read: Good-um Smoke-um: Buy your Peace Pipe Here! or Womp-um Good time at Tiny Buffalo's Inn!. Are you saying these people represent Native American culture?

Seriously though, if we're going to get into one minority being worse off than the other or something you can kiss my sexy chocolate ass.

You're right most of that crap sold out there was never touched by a natives hand. But some of it is some of those people are just trying to get by and it is sad they have to do what they do.

One minority being worse off? To me it never needed comparison. No white man war was ever started to save an Injun. Just to wipe us out.

Do you enjoy Life? Then for the LOVE OF GOD avoid Missouri at all costs.

OH. MY. GOD. This is what I picked up in Missouri. Kids shooting rabbits, illustrated proof why I NEVER want children, and so much more. Of course my comments at the time weren't that sane either.

postcard3back.jpg

And Yes. The mother is the "Baby Maker" of which I speak. God I have problems.

Did someone think this was a way to sell Missouri Tourism? Or is this a warning? Was this made on a Dare? Is the "Black Rabbit" an important icon to the Missourians? I don't know. All I know is that I saw this at the first gas station there and didn't stop driving at any cost.

Oh and since I'm giving out addresses: The artist, Jerry McClanahan, put his address on the card.

4815 W. HWY 31, Corsicana, Texas 75110.

This man is either a madman, the antichrist, or my personal hero for getting PAID for making this crap and convincing someone that it was a "Good" for Missouri.

All joking aside WALKER, there's no way I can respond to that without this getting back into all types of online stupid argument craziness. Genocide, Holocausts, Slavery...until we figure out a grading system I'm out. And that also applies to Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Sanctity of one culture over another, and God/gods/Gods/Higher Power/ambient force of Nature/Santa Claus/Jesus knows what else. No one's objective. I can't argue these things. I'm not going to pretend.

Don't make me send you to Missouri.

To make it up for it, before I turn this thing off I can tell them all about how you make me calculate the square root of the sum of 23,400,320 x 943 while you swing above me on the trapeze in that little pink number you know I like. My god though, that Horrorshow chap is sure smashingly charming and twould be a pleasure to invite him to join us in a spot of the ol' rumpy pumpy, wouldn't you think luv?

Brainiac Novas and there sex habits scare me so much.

I so forgot about posting these in order a while ago. I'll put this one up and stay offline for while...strange things seem to be going on here at Nprime as of late. :insert Hammer Horror Death chime here:

postcard4.jpg

"Illinois.

Illinois has many unique places to visit, from the beauty of the prairies to the only home Lincoln ever owned. Yawn."

Wow. Old buildings AND good ol' honest Abe together in the same place? With the exception of Chicago the only real thing I saw was lots and lots of Corn. Isn't there a hell of a lot more to this? Is this the "old folks who love history and endangered species" postcard for Illinois. This has to be one of the lamest postcards I bought....I couldn't find a more interesting one to save my life.

So Illinois houses the only home Lincoln ever owned? SO does that mean that if I go to New York they'll be a place: See the only house that Abe Lincoln ever sub-let? No clue.

What I do know is I'm going to see the house on the rock as soon as possible.

If you don't know what that is: Look it up. World's largest collection of amazing Junk in the world. See the World's Largest Carrousel! See the largest working accordion! I was always a sucker for tourist traps. smile

I can't believe I'm answering this: "age of consent" varies from state to state and it's normally in regards to statutory rape. While the node alone doesn't necessarily change things, the statute is normally pretty forgiving to couples of similar ages and it normally requires the "victim's" guardian to initiate the action.

But you can ask Captain Preston to find out how often he enforces the statute to see how applicable it remains, at least for his jurisdiction. I would think it would be at least higher than the enforcement rate for the old sodomy laws.

I think the Project's censorship programs would strip away anything you would find offensive long before it could get to you. Unless you find two people sharing sincere feelings with one another to be offensive...

Horrorshow, I LOVE yer show. When the adults let me watch it, of course.

Sneak up on Geryon next!
Wow. a fan. smile
Actually I've been shooting for a Teragen interview for a while. I got one a while back from Terminatrix. All in all, I don't think it counts and most of you know what I mean. There's also kind of a no-no policy on giving the Teragen too much airtime, so GS or Teleprompt tend to only air the "Bunch of Raving Psychos that make no sense" style interviews.
I'm just surprised we don't get pirated more often.
Oh crap. That's like a hint hint . Fuck it. Life is often short, violent or boring.

All this technology, and there's still nothing to watch. Although, your show is quite interesting.

What gets me though, is even in this day and age of vastly superior technology, that the general populaiton (Novas and Baselines), haven't caught up mentally to deal with the changing world.

Perhaps the examples on Billy's show are of datashock?

Nope, it never does in this day and age.

Simply put, unless a mind is agile enough to handle the load, it locks up, or retreats to it's own comfort level with tech.

I've seen it alot, and it's strange. Why would a baseline design a computer that would eventually surpass it's own reasoning with it? And why you think I don't design a terminal of my own unless it's for a Nova?

If a standard OpNet idiot box blows the mind of a baseline, just watch when they try to operate my current Server/OpNet Terminal access system. I think I'd cause actual mental shock.

You know, that 1000 yard stare air-traffic controllers get if they stay in the job for too long. That sort of shock.

I try to keep it simple, but for my needs... well... baselines not allowed. Master Technomancer at work.

Baselines and nova hypertech don't mix, ever.. I knew this mechanic that tried to fix one of my colleagues hypertech shotguns, his wife opens his ketchup bottles for him now. Personaly I've always had a knack for computers. Now that my off-topic is out of the way, I traveled through Oklahoma once... I've fought nova totally consumed by taint and turned inside out and I'd rather figh those monsters again than go back to Oklahoma...
