It's far too early for me to even *think* about going to X-Day this
year (1998), but since I am a Subgenius and thinking doesn't come
naturally anyway, I still continue to THINK about it.

Returning to Germany confronted me with a few unusual problems.
Germany now has a law that forces people returning from Scotland to
share the secrets about haggis-making, to proof that one is kilt-free
and to become addicted to a German-manufactured drug in the first
three weeks.

The officials also make your life hell, but that is not because we
returned from Scotland, that's just because they do that to everybody.

BUT. If I can convince someone in the conspiracy to give me money for
coming to the office five days a week I might save enough to make it
to Brushwood. (I KNOW you don't care. I don't care that YOU don't
care. How do you feel now, eh? EH?)

All the lifesavings from Priestess Fireflower and myself were used up
moving to Scotland. Then we saved some money, which in return was all
used up when we came back to Germany. Praise "Bob" - at least we don't
have to worry about money, because we just have none.

X-Day or bust, I say.

ok but really think about it... boobs are indeed shaped like
peaches... and when they are slightly pinkish with a burn they do not
at all unlike a pair of ripe peaches!

Fuck yes. Me too. We're saving change to bankroll the project once again.

Yes, tossing any coins we've come across during the year into a jar
bankrolls a significant portion of the trip. It at least pays for the
gas there and back or the camping or our food, but not all three at the
same time. Yet. Sometimes I dip, but this year I said NO!! I'm staying
out of the Xday fund unless it's a matter of life or death, like if I
were suddenly homeless and without bacon kind of life or death.

I have an X-Day 5 gallon change jug. I had to use it up a while ago
because SOMEBODY DIDN"T PAY THE RENT!!!! *cough*me*cough* I'm working
on it again, but it's slow going because I've decided to not donate
pennies. I figure, they take up too much space to be of much use to
me. 100 pennies is about 1/2 lb. But then there's the conundrum of
trying to fill it up before X-Day... will not putting in pennies mean
I donate more to the jar with less mass so it only seems like there's
not as much, and already I know the answer, which is yes, you blonde
bimbo. I don't know if I'll actually donate more this way, probably
not, I project the jar being half full by X-Day with about as much
money in there. I just don't want to waste time with pennies.

For me, even the pennies get stashed. The jar is big, and I've an
automatic sorter that makes the job easy. To me, every little bit
counts, and if I have to take a bunch of penny rolls to the bank, so be it.

I have an accounting problem with this (because I do the same thing).

The quarters are the way this process really builds up cash, BUT QUARTERS
ARE FOR LAUNDRY.

GREAT MOMENTS IN MATH GEEK HISTORY

I wrote a computer program to figure this out once. No sane reason
whatsoever.

Given that the change you receive for any given purchase is a random
number between 1 and 99 cents, and that the checker is going to follow
the algorithm of giving you the greatest number of the largest coins
first, then the greatest number of the next largest coin, and so on,
the ratio of coins over a large number of purchases will be:

15 quarters
8 dimes
4 nickels
20 pennies

so by value

76% quarters
16% dimes
4% nickels
4% pennies

THEN when I had an automatic coin roller, I actually kept track of it
to see if I was right.

It came out about right, but pennies were significantly less than
expected. I guess that is because prices tend to end in .95 or maybe
checkers round up to save time.

where would the world be without people like me?

AIYEE!

Makes brane hurt to think that way.

So, if we roll up all the nickels, dimes and pennies and cash them in for 5
dorrah, we should put in an IOU for FIFTEEN dorrah for the quarters
frittered away on hygiene?

19 actually.

One of my pointless crusades once, right after refusing to get my
paper mail, was to refuse to fumble for change at the cash register
anymore. What's the point? I would just stuff it into a pocket of my
backpack and every couple of months dump it all into a change sorter.

Then when I started using a quarter-coin-op laundry I noticed the
amount I would get back when I cashed my change in dropped
drastically.

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
