Now I like Louisiana just like the next guy, but have you seen the
Louisiana quarter? It a picture of the US with half of it covered with
Louisiana al la "Louisiana Purchase". It is like they are like, look at
us, we should be half the United States. Maybe the Alaska quarter should
show its current size next to the lower 48 - it is half the United
States. Or how about Texas show that it expands up past Oklahoma. Ah the
battle of the states. It reminds me of the old high school rivalries. I
remember at Rider High School we were rivals with old high and there
were some hijinks afoot. I think we stole their mascot one time, or
maybe that was the Brady Bunch. It was kind of weird in junior high,
cause once you went on to high school, your feared enemies, like from
barfwise junior high, became your friends. Now the Kentucky quarter,
that is rather interesting. I am surprised there was no outcry about it.
It is of a plantation with a horse in front of it. Either that or it is
a mental institution, but it sure likes like a plantation, not that
there is anything wrong with that. Um, yup something is wrong with that.
But the coolest thing on the quarter has to be the slogan "e pluribus
unam". It means "out of many, one". It is cool cause it is like in Star
Trek 3 where Spock says "It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh
the needs of the few, or the one." It is cool cause it is paradoxical in
a weird way. If the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and
"out of many, one" then the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the
many or the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the one. If you got
that one I'll buy you a coke.

Security Guard: Make it quick, Admiral. They're moving him to the
Federation funny farm.
Kirk: Yes, poor friend. I hear he's fruity as a nutcake.
