Also, do you mind if I rent this space to ask Deddy a question?
I'm sure you won't (just send me the bill), so here's the question:
Is "going down the road" also a Newfoundland expression for heading west?

Miner,
Why do Bostonians go "Up New Hampshire" and "Down the Cape", but "Down to Maine" (especially considering that Maine is north of Boston)?

Miner,
Which is more pointless: libraries named after anti-intellectual politicians, top 40 music charts, or light beer?

FC, nope thats not what it means.
But back in NL, when going somewhere it is always up the road or down the road. And there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to which way is which.

and on a related note....would it make a difference to the number if the man walked up the road? Yes. You subtract one from the total, plus Joan Baez tries to date you.

Music charts still record the popularity of songs for future generations. Light beers provide people with certain medical conditions with the opportunity to get as drunk as the rest of us. Which means that the answer is still: this thread. So there.

OM,
Which book should I read next: The Family; Charlie Chan: the untold story of the honorable detective and his rendezvous with American history; or Guns, Germs, and Steel?

I suggest the Burroughs/Gysin approach: Cut out the words in each book, mix them up randomly, and construct your own epic tome from the paper. This is even more fun if you borrow the books from the library.
