Wait!? That was a password?

The pharmacy figured that scribble was a prescription and they've been having me stuff strange suppositories up my ass for weeks.

I hate to break it to you, but those aren't suppositories. Around here, we call them "crutches".

Quite true. Under US law, "WMD" includes any rifle with a bore larger than 0.50", and anything explosive for use against persons or property, including hand grenades. So of course Saddam's army had WMDs.

You're conflating terms. Those are considered "Destructive Devices", a legal term of art having nothing to do with Weapons of Mass Destruction, a politcal term of art.

First I recall was "Alkalabeth: World of Doom!" circa 1979, by Lord British (yep, the same one of Ultima fame).

Yeah, it would not be recognized as a FPS, but it had elements of the genre. Written in Applesoft BASIC.

And neither does a mileage based tax! What a coincidence! No one is required to report their mileage for taxes, and there's no infrastructure to handle the case where someone drives outside of the state.

You're apparently unfamiliar with the logistics and politics surrounding the particular crossing that I spoke of.

No politician, sane or not, would propose putting even a voluntary border stop at that particular crossing without also solving the current congestion issues in the area - which requires replacing the bridge, and that is currently DOA because of the politics involved.

If you want to see a border checkpoint, drive farther south to California where you'll see agricultural check stations.

I'm well aware of the border stops in California for the purpose of enforcing California laws. Know of any operated by Oregon? Or operated by anyone else for the purpose of enforcing Oregon law?

What if I take my car and drive across the country and back?

You stop at the border inspection station [...]

I'm sorry, you stop at the what?

I cross the Oregon-Washington border at least twice every weekday, and I can assure you that no such thing exists on that particular border crossing - or any other within the state of Oregon, for that matter.

You can have me in the office at the crack of 10:30. Don't expect any meaningful work before.. oops, lunchtime! Off to the pub for my daily four beer lunch. Toodles!

Where were we then? Oh yesh. I don't want to get a DUII on my way home, so I'll be napping under my desk until 6.

Fired? What do you mean, "You're fired"?

You’d be better off trying to find some pre-cooked or raw-consumable, shelf-stable (no refrigeration required) protein, but I’m honestly at a loss to name any complete proteins that fit those requirements that are cheaper than a McWhatever...

Spam. Around here, about $3 for a 12 oz can - over a thousand calories of protein and fat.
