Shakespeare picking out his dorm room:

"2B or not 2B?"

So where's the hurricane to level Witchita?

Dream Theater as a band might be overrated, but John Petrucci is the nastiest guitar player since Skolnick quit playing for Testament.

Skolnick still rocks.  I saw him with Trans-Siberian Orchestra a couple of christmas' ago.  Lot better than the new hack they have playing with them.

Dream Theater.

This is absolutely correct!  Watch out though, Portnoy will kick your ass.

any seattle will do. oh and maine too.

No, I'm sorry.  The topic isn't Overtaxed.  Thanks for playing though.

If you survive, please come again.    

Actually, it's just a silly homage to green jello the food.  I wrote the poem in college and Green Jello was served 5 out of 7 nights a week at the Caf.  

Green Jello does suck but in a hilariously entertaining way.  My dear wife bought me the Cereal Killer video off of Ebay, though she refuses to watch it with me.  That and the Smurfs and the Magic Flute.

Gelatin Crematorium

Green Jello is warm
And it makes me want to scream.
I want to sleep in it
And have wet, green dreams.
So give me Green Jello
Until I can't take anymore.
Maybe I'll give you some
And then kick you out the door.

Eris spelled backwards is Sire.  What does this mean?  It means stop taking it so seriously and go sire some kids.  But make sure you use protection.  The Gene Pool Preservation Task Force will thank you.

Plywood

Liquid blue drops from above.
It enters into a cold metal chamber
Where it is squeezed and gushed through
A revolving silver-like sphere rolling
Along a vast plain of fibrous planks
Matted together.  With the lines of blue
Traveling across every so often.
And over the horizon I see
An encased slice of life
Between scorched sand and
Processed pulp.  With a border
Of shiny gray around it.  
It is a slice that used to be
A part of me.  It was cut from
My ever-beating heart and captured
In a limbo I can never access.

Everything Changes

Length of day light swiftly shrinks,
And the warmth evaporates into space.

Transformation.

Vibrant, green leaves lose vitality,
And shrivel into withered fragility.

Decay.

Summer dew is ushered off,
And Jack's soldiers take guard.

Changing.

Mother Nature's citizens scavenge and scurry,
And layer their bodies in nutritious warmth.

Anticipation.

White flakes of pureness float to the ground,
And the land slips into quiet slumber.

Shhhhhh.....

That may be true but it gives the kids a fighting chance.  You want to roll back the registry?  Fine.  But I will push for laws enabling me to stroll the streets with a warhammer to carry out my own brand of justice.

No, it's to keep him away from prime sources of underage tail and thusly protect him from violent fathers like me.

But you said it was "punishment".[/quote]

Um, I think I wasn't being 100% serious with that statement which I thought was rather clear.

Yes, it's segregation.  Segregate the sex-offenders from the kids they may offend.  Life's rough when you are a convicted sex-offender.  Perhaps we should give them a cookie, pat them on the back and say we understand their pain and just let them run around as they like.

So, the purpose of SO registration is so that the neighbors can castigate him?

Damn, that makes me PROUD to be an American!  BOO-YA!  Break out the pillory!

No, it's to keep him away from prime sources of underage tail and thusly protect him from violent fathers like me.

I will try to find the transcript of this interview and post it.  I was searching the Today Show website but it makes as much sense as Al Roker's wardrobe.

Not the Punishment.  the Punishment was Jail.  This is the post-Punishment castigation.[/quote]

No, part of his punishment is being registered and being restricted as to where he can live.  If after this phase his punishment has ceased he is being castigated then that is wrong.  Until then, he must serve out the punishment as dealt out by the state.
