Hi Folks,
I've been away from the US and bouncing around for the last 13 years. After the last 9 years of political-social events, I didn't ever think I'd bother returning, but… it's time. Had Anchorage in mind (the whole compromise of a large city, plenty of distance from the mainland, decent winters), although I've since stumbled upon the Keene phenomenon and know it's where I'm going. A combination of what I grew up with more availability of the type of people I'd prefer to associate with.
So there…
That's it, I suppose.
You'll have to endure my forum presence for the next two and a half years. Suffer in your jocks ;D
Hi.
Haven't I seen you on the FTL BBS?
All you do there is roll through threads though.
Signed up there a few days ago, but only posted once and not with the same username as this so it's probably not me.
Welcome to the forum, Tumbleweed, and pre-welcome to you new home.
Thanks to the pair of you.
Welcome!
I don't understand the part about waiting 2-1/2 years, but welcome all the same.
Have a son in Australia who won't be 16 until then. I promised to hang around until that magic number. 
13 years of idiotic socialists so far, I'm hoping I make it out of there with my personality and mental sanity intact.
Aww, 2yrs will be over before you know it.
Welcome to the forums! And hopefully the two years will go by fast enough, but not too fast so as to not enjoy your son's life. 
Thanks for the warm welcomes… where's the bar?
Unfortunately, in Keene on Social Sundays. :P Should the Keeniacs invest in teleconference technology for us non-Keeniacs? lol
A whiskey teleporter wouldn't go amiss either…
I concur, but make sure it can do vodka as well 
Now lets get that chip-in started!
Think of Uncle Sam's taxes, tariffs, and fees…
1-Teleporter Federal Tax plus licensing/permit requirements plus renewal fees and departure/arrival taxes.
2- Goods and services taxes on the actual drink plus the reportable income to the waiter/waitress/teleporter operator who beams you up an evenings worth of drinks, bears their skimpy cleavage throughout on a LCD link up, and receives a handsome tip from you.
Let me add that it would be legal to teleport a still, but illegal to teleport a still - heads already dispensed- hot, warm, loaded, and ready.
- Unless you've paid for a commercial license and qualified under the vetting process.
As an anarchist, I'm going to have to ignore all that. As a person attracted to women, I'm going to have to have a large LCD screen. 
Large LSD? That would be imported, no?
Attracting a large tariff equalling a 20 cents on the teleported drink price, in the long run.
Better to download share network porn and distill your own
(until you get caught, made to be an example of, and slugged with what would be in effect a 1-2 dollar surcharge for every drink from a offline pub you take over the next 15-20 years)
