All I can think of here are Pacific Wonderland and The Beaver State, but that's pretty good. I do have good feelings about Minnesota, mostly because it feels like a sister to North Dakota, which I'm more familiar with (fambly).

He asked us who our witnesses were and we didn't know we needed any. He walked out onto the sidewalk in front of his office and grabbed the first two people walking down the street. They witnessed and we were married - then back to class.

And yes, that light pole is doomed to come down, hopefully very soon. I am also of the opinion that the word marriage should be discarded since it seems to have set-in-stone religious connotations, at least to so many in the closed-minded crowd.

We here swatted down Measure 9 easily enough in '92--of course that was just prohibiting the government from spending money to promote homosexuality, pedophilia, sadism, and masochism. No, we stood staunchly for promoting those, because there was no mention of pig-fucking, which we believe might constitute animal abuse. After that, we sort of petered out.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-63696621534867429572013-09-18T20:31:00.601-07:002013-09-18T20:31:00.601-07:00Aww.
