Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A sad picture of the generation gap? Or just a typical case of a kid trying to be different from his parent?

Worksafe, but some other posts on this blog are not.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There are very few people in the lab with me this week. Not that the lab was crowded before, but now it's eerily quiet.

Am I missing something? Is there some divide in the sci fi community where one can only like sw or st?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, can you freeze leek and potato soup?

Apparently if you like Star Wars you're a lightweight who's only in it for the adventure and gee-whiz, where as Trekkies are in it for the science and intercultural philosophizing. Or something.

Wow, that's just...huh?

Gah people, I am so bored - I have three things with me I could do while sitting in this waiting room, but I don't wanna.

OTOH, is there a shortage of people for jobs that trade schools train for?

Absolutely. Any discussion of reviving nuclear power or building alternate energy facilities on a large scale eventually gets to the question of "Where the hell will we get the welders?" We're missing practically a generation of machinists, instrument and controls techs and the like.

Welders! People should watch flashdance more.

Ok, I did one of things I had with me. West coasters why no chatter?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

West coasters why no chatter?

I think I went into a boredom coma.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Maybe that is what the government can do for the economy-- make places that need welders and then train welders. Like a combo of Rosie the Riveter and the WPA. I am awful sick of being an office worker. I keep looking longingly at the woman who drives around in a little cart and weeds the gardens.
