It's all a facade. Our real houses are igloos made of balsa wood and hockey sticks. That day all of Canadiastan was out at a ComSymp Rally.

I also live in a very Republican area, and yes, they do know I'm a Democrat. Something about the Obama bumper stickers on my car tipped them off. Of course, my belonging to one of "original families" in the area, one with a reputation for "Don't mess with us. No really, don't. We're all good shots and can be real assholes if you push it." helps a lot. I counter some of that by turning their rants on them. I have a great rant I do about the lazy moochers sponging off the backs of hard-working taxpayers, expecting free stuff. Damn senior citizens with their Social Security and Medicare! (Yes, I am an asshole, did I mention that?)

So be careful out there in the wilderness, you guys. You have precious cargo on board there.

I knew a lady like that, who SMOKED through the hole in her throat, for a laugh. Which by the way, that laugh--I still hear it sometime at 3AM when I can't sleep.

Yeah, I'm from the South.

Those kinds of encounters confuse me. I don't know whether to feel a little upbeat or just dirty.

Damn. That doesn't leave much in the way of recreational opportunities. Please tell me wanking is still OK.

I just 'early voted' for the Texas March 1st primary in the little redneck racist burg closest to me. I went to city hall and asked for the Democrat ballet. Based on the little stickers one must sign to start the process there's about 50 Republicans for each Democrat. I had a burr haircut but my scraggly-ass beard probably gave me away anyway.

I noticed the same thing in Buffalo, driving along the river where you can see Canada on one side and the US on the other.

Did it start with an "H"?

In the same vein, they always say "Why do you hate and oppress me? It must be because I'm a Christian, not because I'm an oppressive asshole who wants to restrict other people's rights. "
