  1. Not to toot my own horn but.....Toot Toot...haha (although Iramurphy suggested it in late 2004) The Current Situation As always the visionary AFF chimed in with ignorant comments that same day.

    Seat Belts ?

    Why are people (police departments, government, whom ever, etc) paying money to run advertisements (radio, tv, billboards) telling people to put their seat belt on? They are paying money to tell us that it will save our life and it is against the law. Why are they targeting seat belts in these ads? Couldn't the same be said for speeding? Why is there not such an extensive "don't speed" campaign?
  3. Odd in that its a four year term. Meaning he's taking part in a committee that he knowns UND is not going to be a part of (the year after next?) I would turn down the opportunity to be a district representative of a "division" my school is leaving.

    Gas Prices

    In the long run... People will not driving less, but spend less on gasonline. The roads will still "damage" the same when people are spending half as much on gas (because they are getting twice as much gas mileage) or no gas because they are driving their electric car. Exactly. The government will need that same amount of money (if not more with the steady increase in population year after year) so they will get it another way. Tolls etc??? Just food for thought. Many moons away.

    Canad Inns

    Tavern United has opened in Canad Inn. You can read a local bloggers review of it: Grand Cities Dining

    Gas Prices

    Riddle me this.....The government makes a lot of money on people buying gas because of the "gax tax" Yet they encourage people to buy hybrids, carpool, etc.....Meaning less money for the government that they need to make up in another way.
  7. To bad no one has any balls to fire them; Both Chapman and Paulsen will both still have jobs.
  8. Hey Chapman, Here's a crazy idea. You actually deserve a lousy review.
  9. A few things: Weed doesn't have a "street value" of $4500 a pound; at least not in Grand Forks. It is more like $6400 or about $50 for an "eighth" (1/8 of an ounce). You must be getting a good deal "Long time" is relative but. If you got caught with 10 pounds of weed (in your home) in North Dakota the maximum fine is only 5 years and/or $5,000 fine. As we all know the Max is rarely ever given. Also First convictions can be removed from the record after 2 years of no further criminal violations. The law is about the same in Minnesota for possession of about the same amount. The difference is Minnesota has "decriminalized" the drug when only small amounts are possessed (personal use) ("they" could be using rationale like the recently published study that says Cannibas is less harmful than alcohol and tobacco). Meaning no jail time, just a fine, essentially treated like a minor traffic violation.
  10. Those Fargo residents gotta go somewhere to get a decent education after high school. l l l v
  11. The highly respected Tu-Uyen Tran of the Grand Forks Herald writes his own blog The City Beat where he expresses his opinions. Me especially don't like Eliot Glassheim.
  12. All they ask for is a tax abadement like they give many new businesses like the Canad Inn. Tax money that wouldn't be there otherwise and will generate millions of dollars in the future for the city in tax money along with more (higher) paying jobs. http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/i...ection=homepage Betcha this vote passes easily in Fargo....yet some people wonder.
  13. That new parking ramp (and another later across the street) sure is conveniently located near a football stadium.
  14. IIRC PCM posted the answer earlier in the thread, before you asked again.
  15. This is where the pregame part is at right?
  16. Dang I was wrong. The new winner will be BC. What...they haven't lost in like 36 games.....just unreal....BC is unstoppable right now. They are by far the hottest team in the nation.
  17. The most important thing we learned is that he apparently doesn't order his turkey grinder with taco meat. And he left out whether he gets it heated or not.
  18. University of Minnesota. Why you may ask, #1) Everytime I post this Minnesota wins. HMMMMMM #2) I think Minnesota is playing better hockey right now.
  19. I got a little stomach bug, but I should be ok. Thanks for asking though.
  20. You don't think it would be better to play "those type of teams" to better prepare ourselves if we find ourself facing them in the national tournament? You'd rather play teams we could easily beat?
  21. and the jinx has started. Good job. On the bright side maybe a loss will be good.
  22. Bison fans have tried the same tactic before: http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry169093
