Conservative Stronach joins Liberals
I wonder what Peter McKay thinks of this...
past tense: hauled jet (eg: "since I was running a bit late, I hauled jet to the party.")
the I-dont-know-what tense: hauls jet (eg: "man, that Grand Arms Panzer sure hauls jet when it needs to.")
present tense: haul jet (eg: "holy shit, look at Iverson haul jet to the net!!!")
future tense: haul jet (eg: "let's get off our asses and haul jet to the Red Hot Daggers show")
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.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Julie who I (and presumably Eric as well) have met through Clark and Mary. If this is the case, you'll notice he said "message for Mary and subsequently Julie", which means NO, she presumably does not lurk here. But rather, Mary is to pass on the message.
But I could be wrong...

Who says Canadian politics are predictable??
Conservative Stronach joins Liberals
Belinda Stronach, who ran for the leadership of the Conservative party in early 2004, has crossed the floor to the Liberal party and will sit in Paul Martin's cabinet.
I wonder what Peter McKay thinks of this...

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.

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!!!
