When I was a kid, we were so poor we couldn't pay attention. We were so poor that if it costs a dime for an overcoat for an elephant, we couldn't buy a vest for a canary. We were so poor that if it cost a dime to go around the world, we couldn't get out of sight. We were so poor, our clothes were so tattered and torn that whenever we would walk fast our clothes would hum.

At least you had clothes! We didn't have skin! My father skinned me to make wallets, beat me with broken bottles, cut me in half with a butter knife and danced on my grave! And I was happy to have the grave, even though it was really just rolled up in damp newspaper in a ditch. But you tell these young people today, they won't believe you! |

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane And I howled at my ma in the driving rain I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag I was schooled with a strap right across my back I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead I fell down to my feet and saw they bled I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread I was crowned with a spike right through my head But its all right now, in fact its a gas Its all right, I'm Jumpin Jack Flash

I flagged about a dozen last night before hitting the hay and noticed that they weren't the usual, foreign based junk but seemed to be of US origin. The two names that they used were eerily similar to some who used to post here under many different handles making me think they were getting revenge for losing too many arguements. Could have been some of those basement dwelling incels that no longer post here. All the best, Nonoise |
@mijostyn internet sales are taxed already |
@czarivey , not in New Hampshire! We have no sales tax. But I really meant a federal VAT style tax. Obviously our government (USA) needs more money. Their printing presses can not make it fast enough. Who needs a gold standard. Anyone need an extra wheelbarrow ? |
@rocray Trust me, we are glad this is over as well. |
