Someone finally explained the nature of radio waves to them, which led, of course, to the realization that those porn images are actually PASSING RIGHT THROUGH THEIR BODIES!!, which raised the age-old spectre of demonic possession. So, the good news is that the old bible stories are getting a fresh new face.

I guess they'll have to look to more traditional means at rest stops.
The state parks I could understand, but truck stops? Is the state of texas providing the access? If not, how can they, consistent with the first amendment, do anything? If Abba wants to stream her bedroom activities from her wifi hotspot, can she be stopped?

Assault weapons good; bumping uglies evil. What is with this fucking country? Why can't we get over the whole sex tabboo thing? I mean, really, its been going on for, well, forever. Everybody can do it. We all like it (well, most of us). Doing it generally doesn't hurt anybody (at least in comparison to all the other dangerous things we do to get our rocks off). I just don't get all the fucking hang ups.

The state's providing the wifi free, so it can do anything it wants with it.

And I don't think there really is a "wifi hotspot". If you keep your batteries fresh, it works everywhere.

No, can't do Branson. I will need a beach to comb with my metal detector.

Another NFH scoop

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...367_1113934431

Can someone opine why I 1) am not squicked like I was about the Trista/Ryan tv wedding and 2) would consider watching it? Why do I forgive Rob and Ambah the reality show sins of so many others? Why do I love Rob and Ambah? Is it because they seem to have a genuinely great relationship and seem to appreciate their fortunues? Is it bc they are so perfect for eachother? That they have the rare relationship that I might actually envy?

Your signature thing sucks. It's not funny. It's not novel. And it fucking moves.

Make it go away, please. I'll lick your eyeball if you do.

Publically owned rest stops, not privately owned truck stops.
