    forgive my out burst.. but I can help but defend the underdog...if one wishes to correct someones spelling.. can thry please do it with out redicule and embarressment.. why hurt someones feeling just because you can.. this is not helping to bring peace.. If I was harsh.. I ask for foegiveness.. I meant on harm..why cant we be decent human beings to one another.. how will things change with us trapped in such trivial matters as spelling when we have a country to change.. we need to think on a higher level if things are to be peacefull and loving.. again I apologise for my bluntness..

    lol..obsessive compulsive disorder..for instance, maybe he has such an overwhelming feeling to correct things he couldn't help but point out the word spelled incorrectly.

    And I just explained what OCD was..I think that was the question at hand. Why are you so mean? Pointless rant....was that really necessary?

    well, the haha part was rude... but maybe not meant that way... I mean, jeez, he did call her hun, so I don't think he was feeling hostility there, but maybe luv... :rolleyes:

    if he had just been like, "you might be interested to know that Kesey spelled it furthur, with two u's" i don't think shameless would have been so bothered...

    that's how i would have done it...

    but anyway, to get back OT, no, I never got to ride that bus... I was like 15 years old living in Florida when that shit went down... but I love Tom Wolfe's book!! :) ;)

    whoa, Sam doesnt know what the furthur bus is?!?! you've heard of the merry pranksters havent you, ken kesey, neil cassady and folk? they were famous freaks who did all sorts of wild stuff driving across America in their bus they called furthur in 60's, also responsible for the kool aid acid tests, and a couple of good books, i think the word furthur is pretty self explanatory now ;P

    Hey, thanks fractual...looks like Kesey, being the writer that he was, corrected the spelling when he built his new bus.. the original was much funkier looking... (probably the same year and model, though)

    Can you tell me anything "furthur" :rolleyes: about that photo? I would be really interested to learn... :)

    "Ken Kesey...a counter culture icon and psychedelic legend. He was a key figure in the bridge from the beatniks on the road to the free-spirited hippies. He made a difference in American society by generally throwing aside its constraints. He was always challenging and subverting people, challenging the front of settled life. "-From http://www.dropbass.net/dbnframe.html?body=http%3A//www.dropbass.net/news_updates/2001/11_10_01.html&TITLE=News%20%26%20Updates (the place i got the pic from)

    one REALLY cool site about the pranksters in my favorites is http://www.intrepidtrips.com i love that place... and i know the pranksters and the bus was decked out in day glo(idk if it is in that pic) most of the time, really bright funky costumes and such, i dont remember much but if your really interested check out the electric kool aid acid tests, very good book i think.

    edit- http://www.intrepidtrips.com/bus/index.html is a cool description of the bus, and s'more pictures
