You're referring to "Open Shop" vs. "Closed Shop", and dammed if I can remember which one means that Mafi...er.."union" scum are required to be in effect or which one means that they can't prevent non-union workers from working, or something like that.

He's basically a sounding board for Guthball these days, and as we all know if you hit a surface hard enough it leaves an impression of the object that's hitting it. Mookie Stix is just becoming as nutty as Guth because of association and interaction. The one he really drove around the edge was Scott Lowther. Mook's modus operandi was always the same. 1.) Come up with a grandiose plan that on the surface of it seems completely insane. 2.) When the inevitable criticism of it begins, resort to voluminous mathmatics in a attempt to show that it really would work, provided a few small hurdles could be cleared, such as building von Neumann machines that could replicate themselves inside of the Sun, a technology that one suspects might be even beyond what the monoliths in 2010 were capable of. 3.) When it was pointed out that we have not a clue how to accomplish such a thing presently or in the foreseeable future, then state that it shall certainly be worked out in 500 years or so. This is about the most pointless exercise in daydreaming imaginable; drifting beyond the bounds of even science fiction into the realm of outright fantasy. You see, we could make those vacuumated copper spheres lift things into the air if they were made in two shells separated by a couple of inches and the space between them filled with high-pressure gas which would prevent the sphere from collapsing as it was vacuumated, and then.... :-) Pat |

Thankfully reason took its course, and the only crime I was guilty of was driving the trip in an old Plymouth Valliant with bad brakes.

Nothing beats the Slant 6. Actually my three favorite vintage cars are '57 Chevy (no surprise there), 64 Impala convertible, and the 64 Valliant My old college roommate also had a Valiant of mid'60s vintage -- can't remember the exact year -- with that damn' push-button automatic xmission gearshift on the dash, with the buttons that look like they came off a blender. -- ..

He obviously had some sort of flatulence between his two thin layers of skull, and *that* didn't prevent it from collapsing inwards.

The Edsel had pushbutton arrangement transmission in the center of the steering column: http://www.jetsetmodern.com/edsel.htm It also had a radiator that looked like a vagina, although the designers didn't figure that out until it was too late. There was another odd one I once saw that had a block of glass mounted on top of the steering column that looked like a HUD; this gave a you a fisheye lens view of the world and allowed you to see if there were vehicles next to you when changing lanes without turning your head.
