• To my loyal Canadian subjects!

    Much ink has been spilt over Canada becoming the 51st state.

    It _IS_ interesting, the idea of having sway over the legions of burly lumberjacks and the alluring women, but... We are sub-zero at night for
    the next week. Alberta Clipper...

    So, the ideal of assuming my rightful lordship over a vast swath of the [former] province of Alberta _does_ have panache. English speaking...
    Mentally advanced enough to understand the concept of the US Dollar
    instead of Beaver pelts...

    It is obvious that -15 F is cause for celebration up in Alberta, time to rummage through their dressers for shorts, flip-flops, and suntan
    lotion. But down here in sub-tropical southern Wisconsin, such temps
    injure our banana groves...

    So, it is with great sadness that I will not assume my rightful station
    in Alberta :( , but instead, I will continue to stand the Long Watch
    over the Cheddar Curtain. My sacrifice will keep the hordes of escapees [Illinois] from reaching the northland, thereby protecting your limited
    supply of cheese curds.

    The line between your reality and that of others has become like Swiss
    cheese perfected to a Danish Blue Cheese, but who am I to judge? let the
    farts begin, I will be watching from a great distance with nuts.

    Ah, another Colonial! While the Land Down Under has many claims to fame [longest straight segment of rail tracks, for one] the long flight is
    too tiring.

    You can keep your beloved Kangaroos and Vegemite for yourselves. Enjoy
    the Nullarbor Plain in solitude.

    Pity, Australia started out as a Penal colony. Compare that to
    Government today... Good fortune to us all, we'll need it...

    Hi !

    The Wall on which the prophets wrote is cracking at the seems .......

    "Epitaph" by King Crimson.

    The most important part start with
    "Knowledge is a deadly friend ..."

    Never more true than today.

    :-D

    Oh. "The Court of the Crimson King", even I have heard it only a few
    times here in mid 'murica. Not on the top 40 list...

    I thought more of "The Sound of Silence" from Simon and Garfunkle...

    "The words of the Prophet are written on the subway wall"

    Maybe S&G was influenced by CK? dunno...
