Who Are We?
 Advertisements [?]Tonight I have seen the face of fear. It was attached to the body of a forty-something clerk at a local convenience store. But first a little background.

We are having a spot gas shortage. No reason for it really, but it started when it was thought that Ike might take out the gas supply. Mostly it's been caused by greedy, selfish people hoarding gas... topping their tanks, filling numerous 5 gallon cans, empty water jugs, whatever they have that will hold liquid.

Anyway, I stop into this store for quick bag of cat food, see this clerk, obviously shaken, notice the bags over the pumps and ask: "Get hit by another gas panic attack?" Here his eyes get real wide and he says "Ramming." "They were ramming each others cars! Over a little gas!"

I take my purchase and leave wondering what country I'm in. I especially wonder what happened to gentle, friendly people that used to live in my neighborhood. I don't know these people.

I don't want to.
Negative Bongs on this one.

1. You can feel it...
 things are ugly out there--people are getting uglier.
Like hoping Tons And Tons of people are dead so you can score political points ugly or something worse?  :whatever:

Isn`t it cute how they think their little stories are somehow going to alter or influence the events of the day to day world. :whatever:

So a friend of mine told me to come here and look at your postings about the Dump.  We share the hobby of going to the DUmp and finding the rampant stupidity and idiotic conspiracy theories that abound there.  Of course, we also have the groups of people who blame everything on George Bush. 

You all are hilarious and I couldn't be happier to be here.  You're just my type of people.

Welcome.  We're a pretty fun place, especially when it comes to the DUmp.  Go to the main forum and you can see franksolich's glossary of terms in re: the DUmp (aka $kinner's island)

Oh noes!  My friend told me that a lot of the dumber posts start with "so." 

Oooops - my bad!
