Poll question: Which method of distraction do you prefer from our imperial rulers?
Edited on Thu Feb-14-08 09:48 PM by Ken Burch
Just wondering, since we seem to have returned to the ancient Roman era.

1. I like smoking as much pot as I can get.
Barring that, I drink alot of booze.

2. Point of clarification:
By "bread", I meant the baked good, not the early 70's pop group:



Even Cheney can't be held responsible for them.

3. Time travel. I've been collecting (and watchiing) MASH reruns.

Because it feels like this has been war for years now and at least, those characters figured out a way to walk through it.

6. Indeed.

And this reminds me of my alternative idea for the final "M*A*S*H*" episode.

It would only have lasted about three minutes.

The episode opens with a chopper landing at the 4077th. Radar O'Reilly steps out of the chopper, to the astonishment of everyone, and announces that:

a)there's been a huge Army paperwork error;
b)due to this error, the M*A*S*H* units and all U.S. and UN forces have actually been in Korea for thirteen years(the length of the series)rather than three
c)And that it's now 1964.

A moment later, a second chopper lands. Frank Burns steps off, to everyone's even GREATER surprise, and hands the entire unit its travel orders for Saigon.

The last shot: A severely beaten Frank Burns is taken to another M*A*S*H* unit for treatment, and Hawkeye and B.J. are led away in straight jackets.

7. That was covered under "other"
Besides, the imperial regime is trying to take the 'net away from us.

9. A good whole wheat country bread dipped in olive oil would
suit me just fine. A good cheap Chianti would be fine too.

I'm getting the munchies.
