I did that once back in the old days...to a client that wouldnt pay. And I narrowly beat some kind of criminal mischief charges!

I taped several pieces of black construction paper together, and taped the ends so it was a big loop. Then faxed it to them. That was in the days of the expensive thermal paper that came in rolls.

Anyway, they came in the next morning to find a permanently damaged fax machine, and a roll of completely used thermal paper in a pile on the floor.

I'm game.

Also, I believe an automated FAX every 30 minutes or so...to every representative and senator would be alllmost as annoying as the chubbing.

...often find myself wishing that our [legislators] met when a special session was called by a 2/3 majority of registered voters for a specific purpose....

Hmmmmm...

What would it take to get a special session called? Perhaps we could get one specifically to have the campus carry and parking lot bills heard and voted this time?

I think that any of the politicians that engage in 'chubbing' or any shady delay tactic designed specifically to disrupt the system should be voted out or removed.

This would be a deterrent to them in the future. If scientists would hurry up and invent the "virtual slap" device for our TV...I would have worn it out on Joe Pickett. His little game with the "HUD, PUD, MUD" story, and his "look at me, I'm funny" grin the whole time was enough to make me sick.

sigh.... anyone want to move to Utah?
