Ask yo momma.

A random accident.

Musta swallowed too hard.

Worth repeating:

The argument that aliens must have more advanced technology is nill...

We have had thermometers that take your temp using your temple, ears and such for quite a while. Yet the most common way parents take a babies temp is using a rectal thermometer...

I am not interested in scientists inventing and launching intergalactic
ships.Our technology is not up to that.But S.E.T.I is within our capabilities,
and comparatevly inexpensive.This agency uses civilian volunteers
and their unused computer time to help in the search.Many years
ago a probe was launched into space explaining the human race,
our accomplishments,and the rest of Earth.As far as I know it is
the only attempt made at an interplanetary space "thing" to date.

What would I do if I met an alien?Probably see something that
did'nt look much like me, and that would be interesting.It might
attempt to communicate with me but I probably would'nt understand.
Scientists in various fields would probably attempt to study it
and communicate with it.They might even let us regular folk in
on what they learn.

It is likely that if the aliens were able to learn our language they
could beat at least a few MENSA members in scrabble.Anything that
has learned to travel to another galaxy is likely to be pretty smart.

As far as the space shuttles,they are used to study Earth from space,
and carry out experiments that would not be possible in Earth gravity.
I think this is worth spending a few bucks on.

I love alot of SF movies,but they do not likely represent the real
thing very well.Someday I hope humans do make it to another
galaxy and learn to say Hi to the "aliens" we find there.

As quoted by Raindog-"We live on a hunk of rock and metal that
circles a humdrum star..."It might be fun to meet some of the
residents circling those other humdum stars.

You mark my fucking words,little lord....

I may not be MENSA material but even if you are, I think I outdo
you in the far-reaching thinking department.

I'm sure Scrabble is truly child's play to scientists working on ideas
we are not likely to know about for decades,but I may be able
to deal with them while you are still cursing the space shuttle.

Bad grammar or not.

Any beings able to figure out intergalactic travel are likey to be intelligent
enough to outdo our medical and other technology.But who knows,maybe
ear and temple thermometers are as advanced as it gets anywhere.

And those aliens do seem to enjoy rectums.

Any beings able to figure out intergalactic travel would come to Earth for one reason only:

"To Serve Man"

Awesome reference! Good one Grey.

I remember the short story and the Twilight Zone episode.

Perhaps that is really the way it will be, and all that proping is just
to find the juciest parts.

Apology for misspelling.

Wanna prope?

That should be obvious by now.

o, that ol' Janx spirit...

I'd give up absinthe forever for one of those.

There are no aliens.

Well, okay, Gimpy. But that's IT!

From "Coupling" (the British original, not the stupid US version):

When God made the ass he saw that it was good. And He said "Men & women will grab this & say my name in praise!"

Felis,

Peep this thread

This tool has saved me lots of pummeling.

Well .... not that much.

"outdo you in the far-reaching thinking department." aww, shucks. you're smarter than me? you wouldn't be the the first, and you definitely won't be the last. i really don't think reading my never-serious posts on an internet absinthe board would allow you to judge my "far-reaching thinking", but i guess i am not smart enough to understand your methods.

for the record: i would MUCH rather have had them spend money on cancer research than showing how big our dick is and having a spaceman play hopsctotch on the moon.

but then we wouldn't have that cool-ass drink Tang to take in our lunchboxes, so i guess it's all a wash.

and lastly:

it was a joke. sell your X-Files box set and buy a sense of humor.

i got a cousin that couldn't think his way out of a wet paper bag, but he can make it from here to florida in less than a day...

it would have taken isaac newton a month or more...

flawed logic ROCS

Damn Sancho. That was (no joke) one ofthe most profound things I have heard all year.

OH SNAP! Cat Ass got CeeGee mad. That's unprecedented...

did i seem mad?

Yes. STARK RAVING MAD!!!!!!!!!!

Completely and utterly DERANGED!!

and you're noticing this now?

No. I noticed it a long time ago but was afraid to say anything about it.
Frankly....you scare me.

i guess i should've used a more diplomatic response.


but typing "eat my unintelligent ass, you wanna-be scientist" in klingon seemed too harsh.

and i really WAS joking.

Watches as CG puts a check in the box next to lambchop.

NEXT!

feelthiscatass.

I never tire of reading that. I crack up every time.

much like discussions of religion, ghosts and aliens.


(props to LL, that IS the best tagline on here....hands down)

Yup. No question. There are some goodies, but that one beats all.

I never said I was smarter than you,I only meant I do'nt think you are looking
at space science in a far reaching way.If you were joking and I missed it,
I will put my X Files DVDs away for awhile and try to lighten up.Actually I do'nt
own the X Files box set,but I suppose that is a good thing.

I'm glad those here enjoy my tagline.I am used to it now,so laugh away.
Claws in.

Aw Shazbot, FeelthisCatAss,

Eep Opp Ork Ahh Ahh.

I figured out why it is not working for me. For some reason, it has no dictionary (*.dic) file to use. Or rather, it is using a custom *.dic file which has no contents.

What's yer browser, Spuck?

Got the snip-snip, huh?
