Oh, its a mech! You may not believe it, but I probably played the first 3d mech game for about 10 minutes back in 1996. It was all about fighting other mechs to earn money for upgrades to your own mech. Very nice considering the computing power available.

No, it's a "walking Panzer". Hum-Vee = totalled under one of these mechas.

Best way to understand what they are is to watch/play _Front Mission_ video games (my guys are from _Front Mssion 3_.)

Here's a link to the Wikipedia page (it gives you an idea what the wanzer looks like [kinda]: Front Mission 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Is a wanzer another way of saying a Hum-Vee ?

just visiting. let me know if you want the solution to world hunger or anything

Farmers Markets - JSOnline

There's the link (it includes farmers markets outside of the Milwaukee area, too, like Madison.)

Yeah, that would be interesting to compare Milwaukee with the other farmer's markets I've seen (not recently).

Some are, some aren't.

The farmers markets are real, but the buying everybody out isn't (or the vets taking care of the dogs/horses) the radio telethon was real, but my participation wasn't, the fire alarms were (my apartment complex has a large file with the fire department due to the former neighbors), the murder of a kitten in New York was but no responsible humane society will let just anybody off the street adopt one of their charges, the blizzards were real . . .

Anyway, the bigger picture is/was real, my participation in the situations and the "guests" aren't.

If you're interested in the markets, I can easily post a link to the article about them from my local paper. :)

The fictionalize yourself entries you are writing are about real stuff?
