Back at ya Dave! Cute video. It is fun watching little kids try to figure things out.

Very cute kids, indeed. They will make excellent vassals when Emperor Maxwell the First seizes worldwide power.
Aren't you a day early for Father's Day? Oh, who cares, I suppose. Happy Patriarch Day to me and Dave and all the other daddies on the Org!
Emperor? How can you be so modest in your expectations on your most wonderful son? I'm sure he'll grow to be as clever as I am and rule the world quietly from a beautiful island somewhere, and not an Emperor trapped with all the formalities of that most unexalted position.Originally Posted by Lemur

I've said myself somewhere: "why steal from the state (for your benefit) when you can make yourself the State?"
Happy Father's Day. Methinks.
nice idea!
Thanks for posting, Dave![]()

You need to mow your lawn !

Is it normal in the US to have a gardner do the garden ? I mean, do most people not mow their own lawn?
And another question, do paper boys really throw the papers just on the doorstep (what if it rains?)
Sorry for drifting off topic..just wondering about this ...
Abandon all hope.
... and whats the deal with not being allowed drink till your 21? thats insane! Is that a federal thing or is it state to stete?

And all that business about gambling being illegal? What's wrong with a few harmsless pounds being won over a game of poker in a tedious physics lesson?

The drinking age is 21 but it is a law that I scoff at (Many younger people can get alchool easily the law stops nothing)
Many people I know do not have gardners. I mow my lawn and pull weeds and know how to use power tools. So do about 85% of me friends.

So is that a Federal thing or is it up to each State?

'Cause it would melt and anyway, you'd have endless arguments about whether it was lower class to put the ice in before the milk...Originally Posted by Strike For The South

No, the real answer is that the last think someone from this cold damp part of the world wants is an ice cold drink...

Maybe I should actually qualify that statement... the last think someone from this cold damp part of the world wants is an ice cold unalcoholic drink.

I thought that the problem was that with thin bone china the sudden increase in temperature caused by the tea could lead to the china breaking. By adding the milk first this is averted.
Iced tea? With our weather? Are you MAD???![]()

Cute kids Dave!
And for you admirers of America () I will answer your questions:
Most people (middle class anyways, those with large mansions might be different) garden their own gardens.
The drinking age is something the feds forced the states into accepting. The feds couldn't change the drinking age in states, so they just withheld monies for transportation projects (money collected from state residents) until the states changed their laws (this was under Reagan, I think).
As SFTS said, many ignore it. As another plus, it teaches kids to ignore the law.
Gambling is illegal in most states. A few (Nevada) have used this to their advantage, allowing gambling. Indian tribes in any state can build casinos, though. Washington state has no gambling (and has criminalized online gambling (guess who lobbied for that)), but big casinos spread throughout on tribal land.
As for the paper throwing question, SFTS is right. Some things are best left unanswered.
