To the moon, troll, to the moon!

[CHR]

During the cold war, JFK claimed to have gone to the moon. He got congress to spend billions on his moon landing and pretended america landed there, convincing congress to give him billions, the fakeness of the landing is well documented.

It seems to me that this liberal moneybags, that he took these billions for personal use, or maybe gave them to the USSR (we all know he was soft on communism)

Perhaps his death was similarly staged in order to keep his billions or keep congress of his case.

I wonder if under an obama administration we will see more moon landings.

I've been joy riding around galaxies in my old ship for eons now.

It's old but cozy -

[sionnsar]

Nothing wrong with old, so long as you keep to the maintenance schedule...

[sionnsar]

Out for a while, maybe the evening...

[NicknamedBob]

We're running out of time.

"NnBob, could you pick up some more, please, next time you're by the supermarket? Gotta keep the spices replenished."

As you wish ...

Time Is Given

Here my last day before I cross, a magic, mystic river,
You want more time? Here, have some more,
Time rolls by so lazily, so generous a giver.
Take all that you may choose, and care not for,

The ways that you may use. It is a gift.
It’s yours to do with as you may,
No green-eyeshaded clerk will sift,
And sort reports about your day.

Time is given, like sunshine, unending in its glory,
Expanding all around you everywhere.
As you work to write your story,
Be sure to contemplate your words with care.

An ocean of time has flowed by me,
The source seems just as fresh.
I’ve loved the dance and company,
And other pleasures of the flesh.

I have enjoyed the quiet times.
I’ve read ten thousand books,
And music that’s wrapped up in rhymes,
And treasured sultry looks.

The gift of time that I have had,
Is like a tool of sorts,
So carefully the good and bad,
I put in my reports.

I know you’ve read them, and enjoyed,
My childlike glee to write them.
Despite the skill I have employed,
Don’t ask me to recite them.

They stretch back like the days gone past,
In all the varied ways I trod,
I did not think they long would last,
But I have marked the trail I plod.

Tomorrow starts another trail,
Adventure waits once more.
I think I’ll find myself a sail,
When I reach the final shore.

Try to be the person your dog thinks you are.

[Dead Corpse]

How does one "run" out of "time"? Time just is. It's a consequence of one thing happening after another. Since there will always be "things" doing "stuff", there will always be time.

Of course, if you mean the arbitrary period of time wherein sentient life on this planet may beyond which regress back to a point where communication with other sentients in this Galaxy is impossible...

You may be right.

Since most Obama voters are hard pressed to keep 90% of the fluid stream aimed at the urinal, operating advanced comm gear could be well past their abilities.

Looks like we can add Canadaytimes Commies to their side of the Idiot Equation.

[ThomasThomas]

We’re running out of time. ?

Then walk, people don’t walk out of time even if they are fast walkers. The do look kinda stupid though.

"I've been joy riding around galaxies in my old ship for eons now."

Oh, hey I recognize that technology.

Some of us called them teardrop ships, from the conical configuration of the force field over the top, and the rounded exterior for the rest of it.

The lower portion contains the anti-gravity, phase-shifting, and hyperdrive functions, as well as the dimensional adapters which power everything.

When "landing", the bottom portion is phase-shifted to allow the craft to settle into the landscape, leaving only the "hill" of the "castle" extending above.

It's an elegant way to travel, but not very practical for scientific exploration, and such ships always had all the military practicality of a barrage balloon.

The expenditure of colossal resources to manufacture such craft was only practical under conditions of extreme economic excess, but it would be perfect for a relaxed or decadent lifestyle.

Of course Jackie Gleason was the one who thought of it not Kennedy!

ONE OF THESE DAYS ALICE! POW! ZOOM! TO THE MOON!

[Tax-chick]

Good morning. My cousin just moved to Maine.

[NicknamedBob]

Would it be different if he (or she) had emigrated to Mars?

[Tax-chick]

She, and I think Maine is colder.

[NicknamedBob]

Yeah, well you know what they say, "On Mars, it's a dry cold."

[Tax-chick]

And no mosquitoes.

[NicknamedBob]

Good point. I’ll be back later.

[Monkey Face]

Morning, all.
I can’t believe we’re heading so quickly for the new year. I was just getting used to this one.

[Tax-chick]

I’ve put up the calendar pages for the first quarter of 2009.

[Allegra]

I can’t believe we’re heading so quickly for the new year. I was just getting used to this one.

I haven't quite gotten used to this one yet.

[Monkey Face]

So how was the game last night???
Did you have as much fun as you thought you would?

[Monkey Face]

I’m not quite ready to put up a new calendar. Right now, I can’t quite face the fact that another birthday is a LOT closer! LOL!
