Of course, in order to get time travellers to come all the way from the future to attend, the events will have to be well publicized. to Travel by caspian |

| Friday Feb 23, 2001 | When I was a kid, my favorite thing in the world
(other than Bomb Pops from the Good Humor truck) was to go to Chinatown in Manhattan and see
the chicken that played tic-tac-toe. Yes.
Chicken. Tic-tac-toe. Really. I recently
heard that it was no longer there. It turns out
that the chicken was rescued by some do-gooder
that apparently doesn't realize how important it
is for the world to have a CHICKEN. THAT PLAYS TIC-TAC-TOE.

| Thursday Nov 2, 2000 | I recently spent a week in the Heartland of America. Little Rock, Arkansas is found at the crossroads of America's South and the Midwest regions; the result is a unique combination of Middle American cultures that truly frightened me a lot. It's a place where you can get ANYTHING 'Chicken Fried', where George W. Bush seems like a genuinely nice guy who is merely getting a bad rep from the media, and where the Governor lives in a triple-wide. Do you still think it's merely a coincidence that Arkansas is also the home state of retailing titan Wal*Mart or our esteemed President Bill Clinton?

| Friday Jan 14, 2000 | Hiking, being one of my vices, lures me to all sorts of great places, like MATC, the Maine Appalachian Trail Club, the Appalachian Trail Confrence, Appalachian Mountain Club, Lightning Bolt, and GORP. Since I plan on hiking the entire Appalachian Trail (AT) in the next couple years, I oft spend too much time at Trailplace, home of the Appalachian Thru-hiker. After I drool over the beauty of the AT, I end up at McHale and Company, drooling over the Alpineer packs. Oh wait, I can't forget the boots! to Travel by imploded |

| Thursday Oct 21, 1999 | One of the uncontestable advantages of living in the U.S. is the vast amount of preserved
parkland. Sorting it out can be a little tricky though. Of course there is
the National Park Service, but often overlooked are the
lands controlled by the
Bureau of Land Management,
the Army Corps of Engineers,
and the Forestry Service. Fortunately the government created Recreation.Gov
a searchable database of recreation on federal lands. Once you know where you're going, you can
reserve yourself a campsite online with the National Recreation Reservation Service. to Travel by akk |

| Wednesday Aug 25, 1999 | Unlike the Nike swoosh symbol, the Cathay Pacific Airlines symbol implies perhaps the motion of not running (in this case to the bathroom to vomit), but the motion of vomiting itself. Of course, if you're ever on Finnavaition, watch out for the queasy reindeer symbol which seems to imply the motion of reindeer vomiting sugar cubes. There's plenty more where this came from, including a loading speed similar to that of luggage conveyor belts, at the Air Sickness Bag Virtual Museum. Now if only I could find the Sea Sickness Bag Virtual Museum...
