I have a friend that owned a Yugo. She lived in the City, and was always having the radio stolen out of it. She finally gave up on the car when she realized she probably could have bought a whole new car for the money she was laying out for the radios!

Could she not have just not had a radio in it?

Maybe listening to the radio kept
her from going bonkers while waiting
for lights to change?
(Come to think of it, sitting in a Yugo
would have been enough, by itself, to
make her go bonkers)
A compromise would have been to keep a
portable radio that she could keep with
her when she was not in the car.
Next time: We solve the problem of
dark matter.

I still reckon "Official floating voter" has quite a ring to it...

"Floating voter"? Is that like a gay Republican or something?

As I have said many times in many threads and now face to face with many (well a few at least) Thingites. I think your campaign has many wonderful virtues, but I have absolutely no beef with the names of the days of the week! And that furthermore Thursday for a combination of reasons is the best day of the week for me IRL.
You see I could not become a Thingite even if I wanted to. Sorry.

no it's a term that get's banded about usually taken to mean "undecided" or wavering"
I'd never heard it in any other term?

Bu**ger - Caps lock - cant be bothered to change it now....

I've heard floating voter used in Northern Irish politics to say, "the only floating voters in Fermanagh and South Tyrone are floating in Lough Erne"

which makes sense because of the polarised politics they've got there.
