I know some people are gonna see this and think "what a stupid fucking question". If they get pissed off enough to read it, they might get pissed off enough to reply. I honestly think he was using some sort of psychometry to connect with a mythic sensibility. I suppose the important question for people who read this to answer is really "What is a good stable free web-host nowadays?" In the yesteryear of internet bubble I set a page up on geocities, but the last time I was there it was just so damn fussy. I've got a friend who pays for web hosting so I'll probably just convince him to score me a few megs, but if can can float my own boat so much the better. Now you might think "But if I tell you where to post, I just helped you float your boat." To which I respond ... ya but that's cause you read something I just wrote. Anyway I suppose I'm committed to coming back again sometime. See ya 'round.

Hi there dug. Ok, you got our attention. Yep, it's a stupid fucking question. And no, I can't tell you anything about free web hosts.

But if you've got something to say that explains the question, you're in the right place. See you around.

Hmm... first of all, I wanted to answer: Yeah, your damn right about one thing "what a stupid fucking question".

But now, after reading your post through, I start to wonder, under what kind of drugs have you written that topic?

Well, first you have to consider that most sidewalks are now made of concrete, whereas in the past they might have been made of brick, stone or wood. Wood is the primary component of early airplanes, which are much faster than cars of the same era, on average, and oddly enough due to prevailing modes of entertainment at the time were more often propelled through barns than cars were, even though the average person on the street is highly likely to believe that cars, as ground vehicles, were more often passing through barns than airplanes. Occasionally these airplanes flying through barns had a woman standing on a wing, perhaps performing tricks. In those days, she was dressed rather modestly (they being simpler times), though today, due to the much higher velocities that airplanes can achieve, women wear much tighter, more form-fitting and aerodynamic clothing.

Thank you and good night.

I agree completely.

I am not totally sure about the cars passing through barns more than airplanes argument.
Given that most barns are out in the middle of nowhere (namely Iowa) the chances of their being a roadway leading right up to said barn are pretty slim, wheras we all know that the sky is pretty much everywhere, on account of it being, well ...sky. Therefore the potential for an aerolplane to pass through a barn, is much higher than the potential for a car to pass through a barn.

However, when you take into account the relative size of the two vehicles, the likelihood of a car passing through a barn unscathed is much higher than that of a plane. Suggesting that, access to said barn aside, the driver of the car is more likely to choose to drive through the barn, knowing that he can do so in relative safety, in comparison with the plane.

Plus the potential for decapitating the form-fittingly-clad lady on the doorway beam of the barn is also likely to be quite a deterent for any would be - ingress / egress of said barn by a pilot.

However, this hasn't taken into account many other important factors, such as relative velocities, barn visibility and the average psychological make-up of a pilot versus a car driver. I could go on but restraint and good breeding prevents me from doing so.

I have never seen a barn that didn't have a
vehicle path leading up to it. Rarely does a car
use this path, although it could.

It's the distinction between 'to' and 'through'.

It could be, but I know many people who drive
tractors through barns, but not cars. Besides,
any self-respecting farmer in these parts has
a truck, not a car. An American truck, at that.

What are the chances of finding a Barn owl in a barn?

Around here, not very good.

I'd just like to point out a little known fact, that Underwood actually produced most of the instrument panels on the early barnstormer biplanes AND that in his youth, Burroughs attended many "barnraisings" where folks in the neighborhood gather to help each other construct a new barn. Also, the barn owl is the symbol of both secret knowledge of arcane Midwestern fertility rights AND of a certain cabal of c. 1950s heroin using Masons.

A coincidence? I think not.

What gets me though, isn't just the fact that you are probably more likely to get a car going through a barn than a plane, but that there is no equivalent of an aerodynamically-clad female for a car.

Also I think you'll find that the reason that you don't see many barn owls in barns is that they can't drive or fly aeroplanes.

Also most barn owls are east coast liberals who live in cities and probably have no idea where their food comes from.

F*cking barn owls...

never thought id hear it, but that was the stupidest fucking question ever asked. (in my presence, n e way.)

lmao.

The Question is, would said young lady be considered a Barn Stormer?

Welll, this might work:


Time for my meds, I know.

I see your hood ornament and raise you a Rolls-Royce.

barns with back doors...

interesting...
