DHS- yeah, NOW I feel safer knowing they have a clue

<p>Garland:</p>

<p>I’ve always thought that donuts were dangerous to your health. But not quite in the same way that DHS thinks they are.</p>

22

<p>Have been to South Dakota. Been to Rushmore and the Badlands. Can see Rushmore as a target, but what could you do to the Badlands - fill it in?</p>

23

<p>True, marite. Now let’s move on to the anti-cruelty society (and isn’t it just wonderful that there’s something called that?)</p>

<p>Well, anyhoo, terrorism is pretty cruel,I’d say, so that’s a no-brainer right there.</p>

<p>Have been to South Dakota. Been to Rushmore and the Badlands. Can see Rushmore as a target, but what could you do to the Badlands - fill it in?</p>

<p>Another post requiring a “spew alert.” Good one.</p>

<p>With their lack of population density, if there WERE an attack in the Dakotas, would anyone notice?</p>

25

<p>Actually, maybe Indiana is where they place all those folks they’ve “renditioned” when they get kicked out of Poland and Romania.</p>

26

<p>No, no, Garland. I’d rather consider the tackle shop. Does it have anything to do with fishing expeditions? Not talking Brokeback Mountain here, though.</p>

27

<p>“Arghh. My H and Ss have just gone to buy another microwave. I hope that the mall is not one of the 764 sites listed for Mass. Who knew that we’re safer here than in Montana (1,385 sites)”</p>

<p>Maybe the idea is if you have more sites, you protect them. That way the bogeyman terrorists can be enticed to attack gay satanists in Massachusetts rather than the good fundamentalist people of Indiana.</p>

28

<p>Oh, Mini, just as I felt safer living in Mass than in Indiana, never mind the manic Boston drivers!</p>

29

<p>No surprise that even “good causes” trigger bad spending when it has to flow through the federal bureaucracy. </p>

<p>I say we drop the assault weapon ban and cut all the funding.</p>

<p>Actual tears rolling down my face. You’re on a roll garland.</p>

<p>Obviously you all didn’t get the email which explains why Indiana has more DHS sites than NY.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Cheers:</p>

<p>I got left off the list, too! What a hoot!</p>

32

<p>Don’t worry - they have your bank records…</p>

33

<p>Ah, maybe the tackle shop is another name for bank?</p>

34

<p>Tackle does have other slang meanings…</p>

<p>UK slang: Men’s genitals, just like ‘meat and two veg’, often uttered with the word ‘wedding’, hence ‘wedding tackle’. ‘Man Tackle’ is also in use, but not as common.</p>

35

<p>Cheers, jeez. Do the folks at DHS know all about these different meanings?</p>

36

<p>Well, I can clear up the reason Indiana has so many targets. That’s where my son goes to school. And he’s a Republican. They must have listed every place he’s ever visited–and every place he might visit–and a few extra for good measure…(Don’t tell them that he didn’t vote for Bush!)</p>

37

<p>Now, that’s what I call a moving target!</p>

<p>So let’s move on to the ice cream parlor. I know that a self-respecting French ice-cream shop will have bombes glac</p>

38

<p>They went through the yellow pages, and voila the list!!! Come on, barrons, and FS, explain this to us!!!</p>

39

<p>Oh great, now the terrorists know where all our tackle shops and insect zoos are thanks to the NY Times!</p>

<p>And the Bean Fest…</p>

<p>Explosive possibilities.</p>
