I really do wonder how Florida got the stigma of being an Old Folks state. Mebbe a few towns around the center of the state...

Not only do we have electricity, but we also have probably the cheapest, most reliable electrical utility company in the entire nation. Alabama Power is amazingly good. Notice, we don't have any of those pesky brownouts (nudges California).

Couldn't you just power your house anyway since lightning is your favorite attack? And you say so yourself, "You are electrifying." :)

Ya know whats sad.....like five minutes ago here at work the power went out for about 3 seconds. But it promptly came back on. lmao!

LOL @ Vermont. :lol I don't think I know ANYONE from Vermont. What do peeps do in Vermont? I dunno! Do you know?

I'm sure glad I ski then (being a CO native). I also could have used a snow mobile to get to work the past couple days. Yesterday I crept to work at 5 miles an hour, along with the rest of the traffic - and I slid the whole way there. Took me two hours when it normally takes 20 minutes. It would be fun if the other cars would get off the road.

A president who has trouble finding a date????

Mr. President
Feb 28th, 2002, 01:34:17 AM
I'll have you know there was one president, Martin Van Buren, I believe. Who wasn't married. His sister moved into the White House with him.

Least it wasn't his mom. :D

doesnt mean he had trouble getting a date. He just had commitment issues. Or maybe her prefered a different lifestyle.

Mr. President
Feb 28th, 2002, 01:46:30 AM
No, because that woulda been reported. Apparently he was 'stuck up'. Aristocratic and such. I don't know, I was busy then. ;)

Mr. President
Feb 28th, 2002, 01:57:26 AM
That's quite okay Ahnk you're not my type (at all).

Well I wouldn't be surpised if President Van Buren had a mistress. All I know is he wasn't married.

Hey, Im from New Jersey lol..I dont !@##@! swear..heh..More mottos for that state may be..

If you cant drive, you dont want to learn here.. >D

The state with multiple altitudes.

Seriously, its flat in the pinelands, with mountains and lakes in the north, where Im at. Like 2 states in one. We have the best beaches at the ocean. Its great in the north western area, alot of skiing, and ATV trails. Im only an hours drive from Ground Zero NYC. >_< But Im not from the 'Joisey' north east. :p

And what LW said at the waaaaaaaaay beginning is right: plastic boobs rein in CA, but they tend to catch gold chains and such rather than plastic beeds.

An event in this thread has made me realise something. I have no unique Force Attack of my own.

An interesting and rather funny list
