I was wondering when somebody was gonna link that: it's so great, it almost restores my faith in my old home state

I like the beauty and skies and the birds.

When I was a kid there was a jungle gym made of macrame in Bolinas.

They need to take all the money saved from their love of nature -- a grand thing -- and put it into a teacher of grammar.

I think that netting isn't dolphin-safe

It looks like it might actually be made of macrame and driftwood, which is even more insane than I remembered.

New advertising slogan:

"Bolinas: We love nature! (We hate English class!)"

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 6 November 2003 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the first sentence of the measure can be parsed like this:

Vote for Bolinas to be a socially acknowledged nature-loving town because to like to drink the water out of the lakes[,] to like to eat the blueberries[, or] to like the bears is not hatred to hotels and motor boats.

Even without the disjunction, I think the sentence is grammatical. Two infinitive phrases a and b can be concatenated to produce an infinitive phrase ab with the meaning a in order to b, e.g., "To practice five times a day to win the championship will not win her heart." Okay, maybe the meaning is a little odd, but I like it. Does anyone understand the rest of it?!?!

If it's not crystal clear on first reading, you hate nature love motels and planes fly over ocean jungle gym macrame driftwood songs from the wood.

bolinas is a scary place, i have yet to meet a someone not under incredible chemical influence from that little corner of the world.

Ironically enough, in "The Basketball Diaries," I think it was to Bolinas that Jim Carroll went to get clean, though perhaps I'm misremembering this.

Like to drink the water out of the lakes.

It's the law.

My question is: Who were the 152 blueberry-hating bastards who voted against this?

― Marcel Post (Marcel Post), Thursday, 6 November 2003 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

those that felt that to like to drink the water out of the lakes is hatred to hotels and motor boats
