    Got my census form in the mail today. I was a bit surprised, I guess I got the long form last time and the short form this time. The only questions this time were name, age, dob, and whether I had a mortgage or not (not). Last time I remember a multi-page form that asked, among other things, the number of toilets in the house (4 in my case). I guess they don't care about my toilets anymore. Sob.

    They probably still have your toilets on record.

    Ah, the census. Such memories. I should write a book. A census is like your first love. I remember #1 and #2 distinctly. I have totally forgotten #3 and #4. I'm not in the mood to meet #5. #1--we met in a college dormitory. I was so innocent. I lost #2, or should I say she was stolen from me. I lived in a singles complex. I don't think they have them anymore. Feminism destroyed the sexual revolution, at least for men. It was a giant modern apartment complex with the requirement that you be single. Hundreds of apartments. I chucked #2 into the mail slot at the apartment office, next to the giant party room and pool hall room. Later I heard that someone had stolen them all, probably to get our secret information. So a census woman came to our doors a month later to get the info. I invited her in for a beer and we got to know each other. She was a Scorpio, married to a hot-tempered immigrant from South America. Well, we stayed in constant phone contact and went out together occasionally. Ah yes, #2. Finally I ditched her when I moved and didn't tell her my new phone number. What happened to #3 and #4? How can I remember after #2, the one who got away? And now comes #5. Every 10 years this happens to me and I don't know why. What a dream it has been. How can I stand to be so happy?

    Didn't Michelle Bachman say if you fill it out they are going to round you up and put you in some internment camp? And that is was unconstitutional?

    Nut job...

    I'm sure most of you computer geeks grew up going to internet camps though.

    they should give you some sort of code and give you the option to fill it out online. I got the long form and I don't feel like doing it.
