Poiponen is the new tolbs17 of this forum.

Then who is MMM the new version of?

Crash_It, because he's going to step in it bad sometime soon and will become a distant memory, just like Lord Carhorn did.

Mr. Barf (his assigned nickname outside the forum) was someone who was "flatly" abhorrent.

Who calls him that, and have they been introduced to his proper title as Lord Carhorn?

A secret cabal, and yes, Lord Carhorn has been introduced, but I guess Barf is shorter.

The man had a knack for picking easily bastardized aliases.

I'm surprised there weren't as many Alanland jokes with his Barf alias.

You really think Barf/Carhorn/Cra_sHit was worthy of Alanland?  Last I checked Alanland isn't flat.

I mean, the fake name he used that was then transformed into Barf... was Alan Barth.

Right, but why would the nation of Alanland sully itself by allowing the grand champion of flatness to pollute its non-flat prosperity?

What a difference a county makes. I'm traveling on I-75 southbound right now. I was doing 75 miles an hour with good road conditions in Saginaw county and I swear just as I hit the Genesee county line the road turned to shit.

There's a line of thinking that might not be as common now, exemplified in the following:

Granddaughter: I just got a job at a computer company. We're working on a chip that can do 60 billion math problems every second!

Grandfather: that fast, eh? Well, it must not do a very good job!

only because the war that was totally a secret and did not happen, leveled the land flat

What if Barf is Marf?

If I travel in Long Island I'm on Triple M's turf.  Scary thought.

[MultiMillionMiler]

What if saying I live on Long Island was also a double-bluff? Do I really seem to know that much about Long Island based on my posts (again not admitting to anything but just saying)

No, but you also don't seem to know that much about anything else, either.

I have an above average number of elbows.

Why are speed laws designed so that drivers always draw the most attention from cops?

Example: Speed Limit 70 mph/What the cop says

Driver Going below 70 mph: "You're impeding traffic, and it's a little suspicious to go below the speed limit on a road like this"

Driver Going above 70 mph: "I got ya for speeding"

Driving Going exactly the speed limit: "Why are you going exactly the speed limit, that's suspicious, what are you hiding, let me search your car"

What's the matter, get a ticket today?

[Max Rockatansky]

What if Barf is Marf?

Marf has certainly made me want to barf.  Perhaps you are onto something?

[MultiMillionMiler]

What's the matter, get a ticket today?

Actually no, and I pushed my luck a little more than usual and went 95 mph on the Long Island Expressway.

If it makes you feel any better, I have an above average number of feet.

I have no idea what you are babbling on about but people drive how they are comfortable driving. So what if they aren't going the speed limit? There is no law saying you have to drive the speed limit just that you can't drive over it. People do drive over it and the cops give you leeway.

The Michigan State Police even agree that the speed on the freeways should be 80 mph.

The speed laws are designed just fine. Police coming up with flimsy pretext for a stop (i.e. anything speed-related between the min and max speeds) isn't the Legislature's fault, it's abuse of power.

I was pulled over in Kansas for this very thing (driving exactly the speed limit). I suspect it was my Colorado plates.

[MultiMillionMiler]

I guess my random thought on this comes down to:

I wish they would use common sense and not require you to go exactly the speed limit to avoid tickets for either impeding traffic or speeding, like give you some leeway on each side as long as you aren't driving like an idiot, but unfortunately they don't in the nanny atates.

They do give you leeway though.

They don't give you leeway because they want an excuse to pull you over. It's not a lack of common sense–they are doing it intentionally.

Exactly. If you go exactly the speed limit and in the right lane, they'll say:

"Why are you trying so hard not to look suspicious..that's suspicious!"

I don't have to worry about that.
