' - ca.news.yahoo.com Kastel - this is an o&g thread, maybe we could arrange the sniping at brits, british columbians, Sir John Eh or indeed anyone not oil-related, on the free for all or winter threads, when i'm in a typing mood and have time [not tomorrow], and sure by all means let's get into the relative merits and/or demerits of steering this country in its youth away from the north korean model - but not here Big disappointment is, nobody was cracked up by that great line i got from a link on the laughter thread today, thought there was something special about it, applied directly to the issue in hand, but so universal as well, so perfect, such wholistic completion in the roundness of its circularity, could perhaps be worthy of Jack Handey, the way it carries you off for a number of seconds before it dawns on you that you'll still have to deal with reality afterwards - 'Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without hypothetical situations?
