Me and my board* just decided that all Mooters are now vulnerable to the Teacup Tax. Everytime you buy chocolate here, you have to pay a special tax if you sit in a certain position by the windows eating chocolate. And the reason is that bypassers have been extremely offended by the sight of cafe diners staring out the window with chocolate plastered on their face.

*Literally, it's a piece of 2 x 4 ...

Why would I save you from the evil taxman when I'm the one who imposed the law in the first place?

Luckily, I won't be subject to that tax, since my chair isn't located by any windows. *munches chocolate, being careful about not being seen from windows*

A 2 x 4 room (speaking in feet of course), would pretty much kill you...


Yes, I meant a plank segment..., it's kinda like my clipboard.

Now thats not what I said, is it? I said it was kind of like my clipboard...meaning I use to put my thoughts into and then decide...you could call it...boaring , or boring if you prefer .

You see, everytime you read something of mine that doesn't make sense, you need to mentally modify so that it fits in with reasoning...thats why I'm such a genius, I can come up with these kinds of puzzles very easily...

In addition to Pippin's above statement, I am not subject to any tax that you or anyone else may make up, as I am a minor.

This calls for sugar!

ALL participants of this Cafe are subject and bound by Law to pay the tax...it's "stuck to" the purchase, you can't avoid it. If you buy chocolate but end up sitting somewhere solitary, you have to get a tax refund by filling out a form that will be available behind the counter, send it to:

YETI
HIMALAYAS, TIBET
ABC 123

In about a year or so, you'll get a reminder that you must now renew your form, and send it again. If you never end up getting your refund, you can call me on my cell phone:


123-155-847-948-029-482-091-220-222-352-786-453-123-2941259757391414953930963660000525250-25252-24128492529527592236131...if you can get through, that is...

...I wouldn't despair about sending the forms in though, they usually get to you fairly fast...

Ah, but luckily I always bring my own. Because if I didn't bring my own, there would be no chocolate left for everyone else.

Now this is abuse of power. Nurv was never involved in such things when she was president

Which reminds me. Grey Wolf, have you decided how to vote in the parliamentary elections?

Yes indeed I have. I have to support the loosers even tho it may seem like a wasted vote.
