How much lattitude is allowed?
I assume discusion of 'water features' should be permittted. Reminders to "Watch out for alligators while trying to drain a swamp" would seem to be on topic. (Especially relavent to some of my projects). Transporting live fish is obviously on topic. But how about other creatures that live in water - such as turtles, beaver or muskrats? And would this include other members of genus (snapping turtles are on topic - but how about a desert tortise?) And (after my last experince cleaning up the muck at the bottom of the pond), is mud wrestling on topic? We now return you to ponding.

Also OT, Roy.
It's good to see the Grapevine Police department has too much time on their hands. I can just see the cross examination of the arresting officer: "How did you know the drugs belonged to Mr. Porter?" " Well, his dog brought them to him." "I see. Do you own a dog?" "Yes, a Goldern Retriever." "Does he ever bring anything home that doesn't belong to you?" "Well, yes." Courtroom breaks up in laughter, case dismissed do to lack of probable cause, officer reprimanded for stupidity.

Matthew Porter and two friends were playing Frisbee golf in a suburban park Monday when a police officer who thought he smelled burning marijuana began questioning them.

Gail Thanks for the reply Gail. However, the question was more rhetorical than anything. Or, at least, in reply to the usenet police. Off topic means off topic. Ignore at your leisure. |
