I employ a technique known as skiptracing for my job. Its the same technique used by bounty hunters, and bar-hoppers to narrow down the list of potential locations for some1 that has "skipped-out" on something owed. For a while we had a special Patriot Act section we could use that cost 1 quid a search. I was looking over all the business who's assets had been frozen and if any people I was looking for were tied. I just saw some1 yesterday who worked for Saudi Airlines and that did set off red flags for me. I find myself 'profiling' people and thats wrong, but if a predictable pattern can be found, we need to exploit it. Terrorism also takes place on a financial level. People can extract large amounts of money from our infrastructure often using a technique know as "kiting." This is when a person from another country enters the US and, using the backing of a rich family, obtain large credit lines on their SSN#. They then proceed to purchased goods that can be shipped back in sealed cargo containers (tv's cars etc). They then mail out checks to all their creditors at the same time and zero their balance, charging up a whole new slew of items. By the time the checks all come back w/funds unavailable (this can take weeks sometimes to ascertain) they are long gone, having effectively ripped us all off for double the credit. If this can be prevented (as well as those solications from North African Royalty and such I have had as of late, since joining this list??) we could all save some $$ on intrest rates etc etc. Its all very sketchy climate right now.

OT What time is beer?
by Alan 04 Dec '03

There's a killer bar in New Orleans called Cooter Brown's. They've got over 300 beers from around the world. Best raw oysters in the world. They also have the best cheese fries and their po' boys are kick ass (a po' boy is a double stacked sandwich on French bread). I think they close about 3am most nights though they stay open later on the weekend. I can think of quite a few little bars that never close. Ever. Not for any dumbass political crap or religious bullshit. There was a bar called Miss May's near an old house of mine that hadn't been closed since the 1950's. They did finally close when they moved a few blocks and re-opened. Couldn't tell you if they've stayed open continuously since or not. Here in the fucking boring midwestern town of Louisville they close the bars around midnight. I don't know if it's a law or if it's because the city is full of boring twats. _________________________________ www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. _________________________________ "Life is a round of miniature golf only larger, and with a more ambiguous final score." -- Zippy the Pinhead _________________________________

alrighty kids! as promised, here is that rant from me that i know you all have been dying for..... ****** Billy B. said: << I hear only 3% of Yanks actually have a passport >> okay, this annoys me. you Europeans are so self-righteous with your "i travel internationally" crap. you know what -- our country is bigger than your whole damned continent! yeah, we don't travel internationally that much -- because we don't have to! there are plenty of places to go without leaving the border. just last week i travelled over 700 miles, still within my own country. if you went 700 miles from your home, would you be in a different nation? does that make you so damned "worldly" that you can visit a place where people speak differently? i travelled from Atlanta (the South) to Pittsburgh (in the Rust Belt), and yes those are really different areas, with differnet accents, different ethnic makeups, and different personalities. but we all vote (or pretend to vote) for the same President, so our long distance travels don't matter as much as Georges the Belgian walking down the street into the Neterlands to buy hash! so -- get over it! maybe when the EU finally gets it's act together and you can travel down the street in Europe with needing a bleedin' passport you people will shut up about the international travel bit! you know what's fair: let's compare the number of Americans who travel internationally with the number of Europeans who leaved their continent! i bet the numbers are a little more even then.... << And if I really wanted to twist the knife for the US; Kyoto agreement? >> hey man -- Russia rejected is to, so it's not just us!

<< The American Civil Liberties Union isn't the government... I don't think. >> right. not what i meant. it is just that their argument seems ... silly. here it is as i see it: 1. the government monitors protestors. 2. protest this monitoiring. the implication of (1) is that if you do (2) you will be monitored. see the circularity of the logic? perhaps the ACLU is thinking that, if everyone protests, it will overload the monitoring systems.... still -- wierd. << Frighteningly enough I did get an unexpected e-mail from the Department of Homeland Security (Formerly known as the KGB or SS) after writing to the Justice Department about the Patriot Act. That was very unsettling especially as it did not reference anything else. It was sort of like, "Yeah, we know you're out there, punk." >> creepy Alan. and i don't know you, if they ask!

razzle frazzin long-earned varmint of a 3KB limit on emails! fortunately i had this pointless arguement saved in my "Out" box, so i can re-pester y'all with it. so here is the first part.... ******* alright Alan -- you happy? now we have some fighting... Billy B. jumped to the bait with: << Surely anything in the US with the word 'micro' in is half owned by Mr Gates these days or he is at least leading a lawsuit against the righteous use of the word micro. >> HA! this is a good one and i will have to remember it! thanks. << Then tell me when you have actually got back from Brugge if you have any 'pubs' in the US that do over 300 different beers >> the Taco Mac chain in Atlanta does that. mind you, some of those 300 are shitty mass-produced US beers.... << including ales, pilsner, stouts (what do you mean, 'what the F is stout'), >> oh come on -- like any human on the planet doesn't know what a Stout is, thanks to Guiness's ubiquitous marketing. please. << Not to mention those other wonderful European concoctions of Jagermeister, >> Jagermeister is a curse on society. and on my liver. << O yeh, and we can still smoke in our pubs as well, for the moment at least. >> same here in the ATL. however, our bars can (currently) stay open until 4 AM. i seem to remember from my trip to London that you all are forced to go to bed at 10 PM. what -- do they Brits get sleepy earlier? << Something else to blame on you lot. >> yeah yeah.... ***** the second half of this message includes a rant from yours truly! stay tuned kids....
