I was trying to think if Smith’s had the salad bar...they are Kroger stores, too.

Next time I go there, I will look. They have a much better selection of salad fixin’s than Wally’s does, and I think Albertson’s has them as well.

Man! I sure stirred up a can of Cloverleafs and Interstates and Routes, didn’t?

Well, I guess it doesn’t matter where the salad is because I can’t get any for a while, so I’ll just think about it. I’ve also decided to get some Tobasco sauce next time I’m in the market for going to the market! I used to always have some on hand, and I want some. :o])

Cloverleafs are so yesterday. No, really, they are. Highway Departments nationwide are getting rid of them.

At major intersections, those have given way to the Spaghetti Bowl. Many $$$Thousands$$$ of thousands to build those things...

And to think, I just bought a can of mini ravioli for only 79 cents...

Why I bought it, I can't rightly say, other than it was only 79 cents. For emergency use, I suppose. Never have liked canned ravioli. That can might last for years. Almost as long as cloverleafs?

I hope I can stay awake long enough to play a game of pyramid solitaire...

See all y’all tomorrow!

I was at Mass with Vlad and Frank. There was a storm. We got wet going to the car. Fortunately, I had parked near the back door.

Before going to sleep, whatever you do -- do not think about Area 51, aliens, and canned ravioli. Could be a dangerous combo.

Oh, great. I had to read that.

You’re kind of new here on the Undead Thread, but you’re okay. Would you like to be on the Morning Kitteh Ping List?

I was on this thread before it became Undead. I may have helped make it dead-undead. I should be embarrassed.

>>>> Would you like to be on the Morning Kitteh Ping List? <<<<

Thank you kindly, but no. I'll just keep on with the scanning through forum comments, opportunistic wiseguy irritating of folks (looking for a laugh, though not always at others' expense -- just sometimes).

I wouldn't count on that too heartily. We have a lot of experience, having cut our teeth on fate itself.

Oh, ye of little faith.

How long must the suffering go on?

Never-mind "to be, or not to be", that's a question alright, but what about this other one?

As a helpful hint think about how (and on what thread) the question is being asked. There, there sir is the answer you seek. You didn't even know you were looking for it, did you? I try to be helpful in that way.

A distraction is not an irritation.

Unless one allows it.

There are now three types of videos regarding this phenomenon on youtube:

1. Complete deniers.
2. Those who say there is something out there but it’s beyond Pluto.
3. Those who say the something has passed Jupiter, and that fact enables us to see the “wings” (clouds of iron oxide dust that the largest planet of the incoming “intruder” solar system trails behind it), as well as the “string of pearls” (the 8 planets that circle the dwarf star).

I believe number 3, because the photos show something larger than Jupiter looks when we see Jupiter in our own nighttime sky, and also show the wings and the planets.

Allow me to scoff.

You do realize your scoffing is but mere distraction?

Although certainly allowed, and not altogether unreasonable (for all those doomed to eventual doomage, anyhows) there are times the pressing-est issues simply will not be put off.

Solar System Intruder Alerts are one of those times (every time).

If that were not true, there would be no such thing as Area 51.

On second thought, I've just been told -- there ~is no~ so-called "Area 51". It's all internet hoax/conspiracy (complete with a few Black Helicopters).

The helicopters are not real helicopters, and they're not black either...

Just look at the pretty flowers. The not for real helicopters are here to help. But they won't stand a chance against Solar System Intruder crash landings...

(Just look at the pretty flowers) It will all be over soon. After a few more tens of thousands of jibbering-jabbering internet comments. Won't it be a relief when it finally is?

So your political posture is the third way, hoping for a smashing meteor of doom?

Much good may it do you.

My scoffing comes from the astronomical science needed to spot items large or small out in the Kuiper belt. That takes very advanced and capable telescopes and patient analysis.

Those doing that kind of research are not likely to be u-tube fanboys eager to make a video score. So u-tube as an evidence source seems a little lame.

I don’t deny that Kuiper belt objects have the capability of falling inward, they are after all the source area for comets. Such an object could achieve incredible velocities and wreak tremendous damage, should the worst combinations of circumstances come into alignment.

But movement of that nature is precisely what is being watched for, and the most recent discoveries would be by definition the least likely to be dangerous. If it takes so much effort to even find them, how imminently obvious could be the danger that they pose?

Note also that our thread (the one we have most recently high-jacked, that is), is about a possible dwarf planet called 2015 RR245. Naming rules procedures indicate that it was first spotted in 2015, and subsequent observations seem to suggest that its orbit is in the seven hundred year range.

It’s not only not going anywhere, it is most certainly not coming here.

Methinks scoffing is in order.

Unless the True Believers of which firebrand seems to be one, are postulating that this dwarf, invisible star and its accompanying series of planets one of which apparently is complete with wings of ferrous oxide flatulance and larger than Jupiter - all of this blob of matter is totally massless so as to be undetectable even as close as it is as per that mentioned poster..

Or else it has a magical force field around the whole ball of wax, er, planets, that contains a warp field that contramands the Newtonian and even Einsteinian cosmology...

But then some folks live in a different world. Maybe if you know any authors you could have them work it into a plot...
