I thoroughly applaud and commend anyone using the futurolinguistic* phrase "haul jet" especially at such an appropriate time as now (nearing the release of Star Wars episode III). Therefore, I hereby award Eric a meritous 10 points. However, since I am the only person to have used the phrase regularly (as far as I know) in real-life since it first appeared in the Star Wars National Public Radio dramatizations (episode 7), I think it only appropriate that I explain the acceptable forms of conjugation.
Personally I think "hauling jet" doesn't sound checkmate enough (the main problem being that it turns the phrase into 3-syllables instead of 2). I would say the tense should simply remain in the present-tense form of conjugation which would be "haul jet". In which case I'd change "...before hauling jet..." to "...before they haul jet...".
Here are the appropriate conjugations:
Grammatical rule: -s and -ed are the only appropriate suffixes to append to the 'haul' in the phrase "haul jet".
And an extension to the rule: should I have missed describing any forms of conjugation, applying any suffix which I have not yet discussed is okay so long as it doesn't increase the number of syllables in the phrase.
As a further note of futurolinguistic interest: the phrase "haul jet" while admittedly appropriated from Star Wars, has in fact evolved from its initial form. In the Star Wars universe, the phrase is pluralized as "haul jets"; however, having tried to use the term "haul jets" in real life, I found that dropping the 's' makes it less cumbersome to say, especially when faced with the I-don't-know-what tense which turns it into "hauls jets". In such a case, there are too many 's's for it to roll nicely off the tongue, and therefore I took the obvious liberty in dropping the pluarlization.
I leave you now with another term which incorporates the word "jet" and is used in the Star Wars universe:
JET-JUICER: (noun), colloquial for a person who is addicted to liquid intoxicants.
*futurolinguistics: the formations of words and phrases in anticipation of the future, whereby its presence in popular language and culture determines the course of the future through a psychological process in which the sub-conscious attempts to move through time following the path-of-least-resistance. In other words, futurist-detmerminancy through a socio-linguistic form of self-fulfilling prophecy.

HOLY SHITTT!!!!! BLONDE REDHEAD!???!!! Only like my favouritest band (along with Buffalo Daughter) in grade 9!!! Shit... I remember when I first bought "in an expression of the inexpressable". I was on vacation in the states and I found it at a virgin megastore and almost cried I was so happy I found it. I even remember that it cost $12.99 american which once I converted to Canadian made for a pretty expensive CD, but I didn't give a shit at the time, because just finding that album was checkmate. Not to mention their album "Misery is a Butterfly" is one of the better indie albums to be released in the last few years.
I haven't been this fuckin excited since I don't know when!!!

I'm with Tay, I never get speeds like that. How do you guys do it? I mean, if I set port forwarding on my router to 6881, what else can I do?
On another note, I became the proud owner of a 12" iBook today. It's kind of like a cat, small, proud, and independent, while my PC is bigger, dumber, but way fucking stronger. And the iBook will get along only with a few programs out there, but the PC will work with almost everything under the sun. Actually, I could run with that cat and dog analogy for quite some time, but I won’t.
