You've been permanently marked!

Where were you and crinkles a citizen before? Or, did you "just appear"?

I figure if anybody wants to volunteer such info they'll say it without being asked. Or maybe if I don't ask I seem like I'm uninterested? Looks like a foot-in-mouth situation either way.

PS: Someone asked me to what tire shop I went. I didn't care much for that even that question.

It was so much easier just popping out here.

Congrats Bonnie John...remember, that Coopers' Sparkling Ale is all that you need to know about beer.

[moribundman]

[Pablo]

Yeah maybe you hit Brennschluss.

 

[moribundman]

Rocket Boy, you'd know all about Brennschluss!

I plead alligator!

 

[Pablo]

I plead coward!

I would like to retain the right to bear permanent markers as well as semi and fully automatic pencils and even highlighters.

 

[Shannow]

There is no bill of rights in the Colonies (nor the UK IIRC)

 

[crinkles]

maybe its time we made one shannow? revolt? ready your artline markers and leathermen multi tools for tomorrow we rise.

 

[Shannow]

Saw some absolute beauties at Sam's warehouse this morning, best part of an inch diameter, and almost certainly permanent.

 

[Shannow]

Actually, it's an interesting concept pledging allegiance to a state that does not grant you automatically a bill of rights.

I know that the system is supposed to be that everything's a right, unless it's specified otherwise, but in this day and age that leaves a rapidly closing scope of "conditional priviliges"

 

[crinkles]

it does worry me

Revolt and demand your deserved freedoms! What are you waiting for?
