Ooo. Star Trek pratchetting up the suspense! I prefer to think of that kitty as having a permanent middle finger to the world. Bah. Just make the potatoes! You want that 5th star? Stop nagging him about his weight and actually write him a diet and exercise prescription that his insurance will pay for. 8-foot-tall cat just means I need a second job to pay for the extra cat food and litter. I’ll also need to put slots in a grain shovel to replace my scoop. “I walk the lonely streets …” “WTF” is so much more concise. But if you want to wax poetic, go for it. LOL. Disguising the purchase of your new computer as taxes and fees eh? That marriage won’t last long. I agree. You need a handgun to back that love up.
I’m with the re-napping cat. “It’s Monday and I can still sleep in! School is OUT.” (OK, aside from having a cat with a fixed alarm time, and needing to get work done while it is cool out, I can sleep late.)
Almost a decade ago my blond, blue-eyed, German step-daughter-in-law had a hideous time with getting her green card, despite being married to an American.
My son lost out on his Brazilian fiancé when they gave up after two years of trying to get her green card. There’s something to be said for breaking it off if it can’t last through a couple years of adversity; but even still, she’d have made a better citizen than any of the illegals, and most of the Democrats.
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” Not as many would make such a pledge today.
Federal Judges assert that an unauthorized border crossing of millions predominantly military aged males at the direction of a foreign government is not an invasion or incursion unless they were so informed in advance.
On the “wookie mistake”, in the original script for Return, our heroes were to visit Chewie’s home world (primitive Wookies) but since Chewie had been shown to be very good at technology, the script-writers changed the “primitive Wookies” into miniature primitive Wookies. IE The Ewoks. [Very Big Grin]
Scriptwriters here being George, who for his Vietnam War based insurgents in that film also had an eye out for those lucrative merchandising opportunities, which given the studio deal had left all merchandise rights to Lucas from the first movie, were the greater source of his Star Wars fortune. And at that point, embroiled as he was in his divorce with Marsha Lucas in which the financial split took away a major chunk of those merchandising earnings resulting from the first two movies, he was very much inclined towards the cute and cuddly Ewoks as a new, post split merch opportunity to replenish his wealth.
The last 4 years could be viewed as a real-life re-enactment of the old Star Trek episode ‘Patterns Of Force’. Just substitute Joe Biden for John Gill — a drugged-out zombie propped up to cover an authoritarian program of atrocities.
Spock had to unscramble John Gill’s brains. I suspect if we had a Vulcan, he’d look up and say, “Sorry, folks, there’s nothing left in there to unscramble.”
Expanded Catan is for when you take your world building literally.
Expanded Carcassonne is for when you want cheat like mad: ‘Oh, I didn’t tell you we were playing with the sheep expansion? Sorry about that, don’t mind my score…”
And then there’s the joke I can’t find anymore about the exciting German game with two rules and 500 ways to win.
I wonder if Sen Kennedy has ever heard this song?
