The only thing to kill is the electrical box so nobody gets killed!!!!!!!

But its a runaway trolley, so killing power won't stop it...

It depends. Do I owe any of them money?

There were many excellent responses but I still have to say the first one by the Aresian should be the winner. Short and to the point, and funny as were many others.

I HATE this time change. Not only do models come out an hour later, but it also creates a substantially increased amount of down time on the forums. I don't like this.

Thanks, CP. I'll split the prize money with you. Enjoy your half of the nothingness.....wow, that last sentence sounds way too nihilistic.

I'm embarrassed to say I had to look up nihilistic.

Since I'm embarrassed to say it, I'm not sure why I did? That may be a whole other road to explore.

Agreed. I hate it and not just due to models running later. I like sleeping in winter more than summer since it gets dark earlier and stays darker at night in my opinion.

The fix of course would be to turn the clocks back another hour in March but then the sun would be rising at 2:45 AM at the end of June.

Of course if we continued to do this every year turning the clocks back in autumn and back an hour again in spring eventually the calendar would turn completely and we would have winter in July and summer in December. Kind of like what we had 2 Decembers ago.

Someone here is hiding something or just plain lying. Thunder snows current reputation is 30 Mikey's reputation is 28. It's close but since the reputation counter doesn't lie I have to assume Mikey is hiding something.

Thank God Frank instituted the reputation counter last month, or we would never know who to believe.

Ok. I just stumbled in here and read the last few pages. Clearly we need a storm. Suddenly OTI seems comparatively sane. I’m stumbling back out. Toodles.

This is a weather site, not a politics site. I don't hide poison in my garage or am accused of influencing elections. Thankfully the reputation counter was initiated (the idea of CP himself) and CP enjoys a stellar reputation of 66. His integrity therefore speaks for itself. However those who accuse of of fraud have absolutely nothing to fear.

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

I actually thought I was on OTI.

Everyone that has contributed the last two pages really should be given honorary citizenship. I believe they've all earned it.

I should add of course that half the people that have contributed the last two pages are citizens or ex-citizens, who am I speaking of, of OTI.. No surprises there.

Are we plotting on OTI to take over the banter thread? Is this some kind of covert action that I wasn't made aware of?

I'm not sure I approve but we do need more space so if someone did plan this kudos to them.

p.s. the train scenario seems more like an episode of the old Batman TV show than an ethics experiment so I think the correct answer is you flip the switch to track one, saving the five, find the person who tied up Frank, beat them senseless “POW” “BAM” “BOOM” then you use your specially designed “bat-rope cutters” to free Frank and save him before being congratulated by Commissioner Gordon.

I realize I did jump one step ahead there, and must adhere to OTI protocol.

I am putting your name before Parliament today for citizenship on OTI. Soon after that, after you have proven yourself as a loyal citizen of OTI we will put your name before Parliament, provided of course you are granted citizenship which seems a mere formality right now, to be the Director of Landscaping on OTI.

I only see one bump in the road for you Mikey, as far as becoming a citizen of OTI, and that is your wishes at various times for spring to come early. On OTI wishing for spring before May is very serious and a first offender receives two handfuls of sand in the face, eyes closed, and 10 lashes with palm tree leaves. Punishments of course are handed out by our Director of security SnowMan.

A second offender receives four handfuls of sand in the face eyes opened, and is then beheaded. Their citizenship is taken from them posthumously.

Director of Landscaping ought to be an interesting responsibility. Mikey, I hope you're good at doing fun and exciting things with sand. And if anybody named Farmer Jones offers to show you the inside of his barn, abandon the mower and run for your life.

One of my favorite plants grows in sand actually. But sadly, I think they may not live well on the island... What kind of weather conditions does it have?

I suck at running, so I will just ride the mower away, it is faster than me running...
