Yeah its expensive...this is why I actually right now own 2 Xbox games...but I have owned like 9....thanks half.com! You can buy new games for $50 and sell them for $35-40...or if you were less anxious then me, buy em on half.com and sell em back there and only spend like $5! I only keep great games I know I wont get bored with...sadly thats only Halo...and I am pondering abut selling Wreckless...but I dont know if I can live with 1 Xbox game...ahh thank the lord for OXM demo discs!

Yeah, E-Xbox, but you Canadians have "free" health care. Here in Texas it 8.25%, and it's partially that high because we don't have a state income tax. And that's fine by me.

Colorado would be awesome! I need to talk to my wife :D Seriously! I am ready to get out of this town! It's an awesome area, but, too bad our polititians are so bad!

Dude, get this, they passed a referendum so that they can raise taxes without voter approval! So, what we have up here, now, is a dictatorship! Seriously! It's UNBELIEVABLE! So, basically, they have given themselves their own permission to basically reach in and grab my wallet and take out what they want! I'm sooooo ready to move out of this place! :mad:

It used to not be that way...The State of Washington is truly an incredible place to live! Too bad our Governer is an absolute idiot. He's a democrat...I'm not a democrat...but, even democrats dislike this guy! Gary Locke is his name and taxes is his game!!! :eek:

Man, even I have only been to Walla Walla a couple times! lol..but, of course, that is not a place that represents Washington! hehe...it's a really small town in Eastern Washington...I kid you not, Washington should be two different states...The Western half is completely different than the Eastern half of the state...but, that's cool!

It's kind of funny you mentioned the coast! The Pacific Ocean beaches in Washington are so cold! There's a really funny local commercial that Henry Wienhart's has (it's a beer, in case you might not have known)...and it has these two girls walking down the beach. Now, in California, these two girls would probably be in tiny bikini's, but, on this commercial, and because it's in Washington...they are wearing very thick parkas!! And, there are about 5 dudes sitting on some rocks and they are talking amongst themselves saying "Oh man, look at these two hotties coming! Wow, check out the girl on the left!" etc etc...

Now, the humor is that you can't tell if a chick is hot when she's wearing a parka twice her size and is half way down the beach! Anyway...I just thought I would share that with ya :D You should visit Seattle, though...very cool town :)

LynxFX
03-13-2002, 04:03 PM
Oh I know the eastern and western parts are very different. I grew up in Northern Idaho just 60 miles from Lewiston/Clarkston. So used to go there all the time. Although cold the coast line of Washington and Oregon is gorgeous. Parkas sounds just about right. :D

I could never live in Seattle though. I hate rain and fog and haze. Give me dry clear skys.

Dude, I hear ya! During the summer, it's really nice here...Augest and September are my favorite months! When the sun comes out, it's amazingly beatiful here. It's as if all the hot women come out of hibernation or something :D
