billy Horrorshow Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 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. 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. At Night. In the Rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

billy Horrorshow Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakinyan Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy Horrorshow Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 I really don't want to get into a "Genocide is worse than centuries of Slavery" argument. Seriously. Slavery or Genocide?

billy Horrorshow Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 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.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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy Horrorshow Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 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: "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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Bailey Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sakurako Hino Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
