You know what? I don't think it is particularly flattering to admit you would deny someone a job due to their religious beliefs. I don't believe in discrimination, whether it be against the religious, ethnic minorities, gay folks, and so on. You don't fight discrimination with discrimination. In the end, nobody will gain anything from it.

It isn't the first music of the year, that would be the BPO, but I always love going to concerts. Tonight we are going to see the mummified remains of The Dead, plus Warren Haynes. I love me some Warren Haynes!! I love hippie music in general. Hippie women? Not so sure, although (e:Ajay) has always encouraged me to expand that way.

• (e:Heidi) - I did see the message you left for me in chat. Sadly I won't be able to make it to Pearl Street as we already have plans for the time. But thank you very much for offering and keeping me in mind.

Have any of you ever seen Top Gear? At the end of the year they came up with a Vietnam special where they went up the whole of the country in motor bikes.

At any rate, during one segment of the show they are at some restaurant or whatever, and on the river there were a number of flower looking things floating along, lit up with all kinds of different colors. I think it's a yearly event.

Does anyone know what this is and what it means?

I think I've made a decision. I am going to take a roadie to Rochester to go to Beers of the World. I'd better call them to make sure they have the Pannepot. If they do have it, to assuage my guilt for taking a roadie for beer I'll have to think of some other thing to do there as well that has nothing to do with beer. Oh yeah, I think they have a super awesome record shop as well. There we go!

Well, seeing as it has been recently confirmed that the Smart cars and the like are dangerous tin cans...as long as you aren't crashing into a similarly equipped dangerous tin can...I thought I would ask you all if you could choose a single method of transport, what would it be?

Me....in a perfect world where I didn't live in a place where it snows half of the year....I would get a Harley. Hell yes, a loud as hell, ballsy machine. Dangerous? Yes, but I wouldn't feel like a pussy. It's bad enough with the econobox I have now. I wish Dad never sold his motorcycle. I would have bought it from him as my first bike.
