    You live in Washington: are you in government?



    No. W wouldn't have me, he said I was a tree-hugger. Besides, that's the other Washington, Washington D.C. [District of Columbia], the evil Washington. I live in the good Washington, that being the state of Washington. We are way over in the NW corner of the US, by Canadia, about as far about as you can get from Washington D.C. in the lower 48. Remember, either you are with Washington state or you're with the terrorists governing in Washington D.C.



    Salt Lake City, nice people but very scary as well. Make sure you ask around, if you get really lucky then you just might be able to find someone who will tell you about Mormonism. Don't bother going to the Great Salt Lake, it stinks to high heaven and the bugs will carry you off for supper. Again, if you can get a steering wheel in hand, point it South.

    ust a note:

    if you are coming to america, visa requirements are such that you have to have viewed the movie "Coming To America" starring eddie murphy, and the hilarious (or as my grandma violet says, "HIGHlarious") arsenio hall.

    there will be a quiz.



    hint: answer to #6 = E.R.'s eriq la salle



    good luck.

    ... anything but just don't tell the truth(s) in the visa forms.

    Have to emphatically agree with this. Get the hell out of SLC as fast as you can and head South. The drive alone to The 4 Corners will blow your mind. As a person who, for a time, called Moab home (and has been to 49 of our fair 50 states) I can assure you that the American Southwest is unbelievable.

    I always wondered who designed these questions. I mean, do they really think, someone will answer "yes" to the following question (from Form DS-156 for german nonimmigrant visa applicants):



    "Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in export control violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful purpose? Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization as currently designated by the U.S. Secretary of State? Have you ever participated in persecutions directed by the Nazi government of Germany; or have you ever participated in genocide? YES NO

    ...

    While a YES answer does not automatically signify ineligibility for a visa, if you answered YES you may be required to personally appear before a

    consular officer."

    Well, quite.



    Do you have crack cocaine in your luggage?



    -No. Of course not.



    Have you ever smoked a spliff during an intercontinental flight?



    -Er... no. Honest.

    Some of the questions are outdated. Others are designed to give the government a legal wedge if you violate the question. For example if you say "No" to "Do you plan to participate in any crimes in the US?" then subsequently you meet with known mod bosses ... they can kick you out even though you didn't commit a crime.

    So "yes" - if one plans to have sex in any of the states where it's forbidden or if go hunting and fishing on your wedding day in Illinois?

    As may be apparent from the Murbot-esque nature of my recent posts, I need a holiday.



    I've just finished a two-and-a-half-year project and tomorrow morning at an ungodly hour I'll be taking to the air and crossing the Atlantic.



    So toodleoo.



    I'll let you know what I think.



    I fancy I'll love it.

    Enjoy the States and if you're in Chicagoland give us a hollar.



    Also, I posted in a different thread that if you're anywhere near this band while you're in town, go see them.
