We need a massive pneumatic tube system (run by computers), which connects anything and everything to anyone, and there'd be a huge warehouses of goods, weed included, and you could trade in your credits at your computer and it would send you your private property, and you could give people weed credits online, and share your weed with people on the internet!! oh wait, then we'd live in a terrifying dysotopia where we never leave our chairs and take shit all day from our robot overlords. Except in this terrifying dysotopia, you're allowed to be high all the time!! Also share your weed with people on the internet!!!

Joystick Division - The PS3 HD Collections We Would Like to Play

http://www.joystickdivision.com/2010/11/the_ps3_hd_collections_we_woul.php ​ The God of War Collection was released for the PS3 earlier this year, bringing HD remakes of the PlayStation 2 classics to modern gamers with trophy support and all sorts of enhanced bells and whistles. The Sly Collection dropped this week, giving Sly Cooper the same treatment and, next year, the Team Ico Collection will make the breathtaking Ico and Shadow of the Colossus look better than ever. The PS2 had a fantastic library of games and series that stayed consistently stellar over the system's decade-long lifecycle. This got us pondering: What other series would we like to see made into PS3 HD collections? Ratchet and Clank

Recently, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke testified before Congress that, "without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school." In response, American patriot Rush Limbaugh called her a " slut " on his nationally syndicated radio program . Internet White Knight and Nobel Laureate Barack Hussein Obama called Ms. Fluke to express his support for her right to free shit . http://www.kuro5hin.org/

What Is the Key to Happiness?

Happiness is a basic need of the human soul. Once we are provided with such physical necessities of food, water and shelter, we seek happiness. Most people seek happiness throughout their lives, yet many look in the wrong places, only to find despair. Why does the alcoholic drink, or the junkie shoot up, but to try to be happy? Some people are so unhappy, and so hopeless of ever being happy again, that they feel they would rather take their own lives than face living through another day. I have spent so much of my life in misery, in such dark despair, you wouldn't think I would ever have known true happiness , but I have, and often do.

Background A skateboard is a small piece of wood in the shape of a surfboard with four wheels attached to it. A single person rides the skateboard, guiding the movement with his feet. While some use skateboards as transportation over short distances, most are used to perform stunts. Skateboards consist of three parts: the deck (the actual board), the truck (a component usually made of metal that holds the wheels to the deck), and the wheels.
http://www.anenglishgentleman.com/romance/love-transactions/ Dear English Gentleman, Why is it that men think that just because they bought you dinner, they then get to spend the night in your bed? Where did this idea come from, and how can I explain to them that it doesn’t work that way without them getting all angry and refusing to ask me for a second date? My thesis is this: not all men live their lives by the sort of exchange based relationship which you describe. So there is hope. But some men certainly appear to do so.

The Wheelmen - Finding a High Wheel bike for purchase

http://www.thewheelmen.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=772 I, too, would like to buy a hi-wheeler. I indeed would like the olde-tyme look -- not so that I would look good at a Wheelmen Convention, but because I like the look. So, does anyone know of anywhere I could purchase a proper hi-wheel of the proper size for a reasonable price?
