I hope you didn't have any high hopes of actually getting hired there.  I
am forwarding a hard copy of your post with this little gem highlighted to
the central office in Harrisburg.  Should be worth a chuckle when it's
posted over the water cooler.

Don't feel too bad; I'm sure they have no need for a vic20 anyway...

will be standing in the rubble, and like a broken record:  "You require

Fine.  It's your life, and if you really want to be a loathed and despised
sub-human individual, cruelly taunting life's victims because they "piss you
off", then it's up to you.

It seems that the people who piss you off are innocent bystanders, victims,
and their S.O.s.  The people who piss me off are people like you.  There's a

In the first place Brucie, I requested no OGGLES, in fact I specifically

Is your friend Patrick correct in his assertion that you are misinformed?

Yes, in fact there's no doubt in my mind that Susie Garvin's deliberate

post originated from Kevin Darcy. Certainly the content of the post did

The gentleman from California laments that his fellow citizens do not
practice LANE DISCIPLINE. Can you believe this? From California, where the
drivers are better mannered than any other state, and *almost* as good as
Scandinavians! I drove most of the length of California this summer, and was
confirmed in my earlier opinion that almost exclusive of any other State in
the Union CALIFORNIANS KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. For example, they look like
professional chauffeurs compared to Washington State drivers!

You want to see lane discipline inside-out, you should come take a look at
Washington State (the People's Republic of Washington as the average NATIVE
will happily confirm). Here, 83.7%  of the NATIVES (spot that Washington
Native bumper sticker) feel they have been DEIGNED BY GHOD to protect the
holy 55 mile per hour speed limit at all costs. EVERY lane must be driving
precisely 55. You spot an opening and go for it and you'll find NATIVES
drifting over in front of you from every side.

The other 16.3% are coked-up pizza faces in Trans Ams who have it "figured
out". They bob and weave, frequently teaming up to terrorize the territory
by chasing each other in and out among the lanes at the "metric speed limit"
(double it and and 30).

Traffic enforcement? Here in Washaton, the traffic enforcement effort
is divided between two fronts: radar guns from on ramps, just over crests of
hills, behind billboards and so on, and the "Rat on Your Neighbor" program
(Dial 1-800-BE A HERO if you can believe that!)

Here in Washington they *invented* the term "blocking problem" for crying
out loud - don't expect any sympathy from me about California. I'm sure
things will settle back to normalcy after the summer vacation season has
sent all the Washatonians, Bostonites and assorted Wisconsin cheeseheads
back to their respective dens of iniquity.

Lane Discipline: not just a good idea; it's the LAW.

No, I'm not giving myself any credit.  You are giving me credit by posting
your hideous vomit here on alt.flame(and misc.test).

It's not so much you not caring about where the posts come from and where
they are going.  No Stevie, it is much simpler than that.  You seem to have
a strange need to have your swollen, rash covered cranium firmly in your ass

Not as long as there's someone up there at PlayPenn State who insists
there's such a thing as a "DOI", I won't be.

(Sheesh.  Down here, if "DOI" means anything, it's the counterpart to "BOI"
-- "Died On the Island", which goes well with "Born On the Island".  Never
mind which island it is, either, since you're geographically illiterate.)
