    From a damned Sooner no less. BTW, I hyper linked the bibliographical sources for convenience. :diacanu:

    But it's not global warming anymore, it's climate change. Get with the program.

    Speaking of which, has Flashlight been on in the past week? He may be living in the Dark Ages up near Tulsa.

    I would fucking love to see the climate shift in a way that hits Nebraska with regular snowstorms on the scale they typically see in the states around the Great Lakes. It's fun enough watching "survival of the fittest" assert itself on the road after 6-8 inches fall.

    Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana. Did I miss any?

    What the fuck would I do for a living up there? Minnesota is at least as much of a desolate wasteland as Nebraska, the job market in Michigan seems to be dismal gray shit, I don't want to be a dairy farmer.....

    Lost power here for about 5 days, but it's been back up since last Friday. Otherwise, just a slow period for me and WF right now.

    There will be a lot of factory jobs opening up here in a few years, and the benefits and overtime are fantastic.

    Seriously. The average age at GM is 50. Ford is 45, Chrysler at 46. In about five years, GM is planning on hiring 20,000 people.

    Oh, and just so you know, Michigan hardly gets any of that "weather" everyone seems to be talking about. The eastern half anyway. :D

    The term "climate change" was actually coined by a GW-denier in the late 80's, as it sounded more neutral.

    So that's not part of the evil plan.

    We had a cold front come thru here the other day. Dipped all the way down into the mid-fifties.

    I opened a window.

    Sounds nice. It may get cool enough here later that I shut my windows.

    Cold weather makes you feel alive.

    Hot weather just makes living things rot.

    Of course it wouldn't make much difference for you when either way you are scared of the dirty dirty air.

    :shrug: I'd give even odds that 2/3 of them are bankrupt within the next five years. :bergman:

    But hot weather means women like Meka wear shorts and actually SHAVE THEIR LEGS year-round!!! :soma: :banana:

    The one thing I truly hated about living up north is that women would just...stop...shaving their legs when it got cold. I'd have a girl back in my dorm room, and things would start getting interesting...and she'd say "Wait, I didn't shave my legs." "Since when?" "Last week...."

    AHHHHHHH!

    Not a bad deal, since if Volpone wins you would have pretty good odds of being in the bankrupt camp so wouldn't have to pay anyway.
