Too much fog and coal dust in the air for a mid-range...too much risk.

Re: How many Blues fans does it take?
2577Shows how much YOU know. Neither inertial mid-course guidance NOR terminal radar are affected by fog & dust.

Re: How many Blues fans does it take?
2580Ah, that would be the good old Vickers .50 machine gun. Sorry, mate, but the Royal Navy retired those in 19 & 54. Their modern Armed Forces rely primarily on the Stormer/Starstreak high velocity missile (HVM) man-portable air-defence system (MANPADS) - either shoulder-launched or vehicle borne - for taking down such airborne nuisances. Do you need their number to ring them up for the next shed-yuled stage adaptation?CaptSMRT wrote:I seriously doubt Mary Poppins has the maneuverability or the armor to withstand 50 cal anti-aircraft guns.JMC-STL wrote:Well, one of us does.

2583Mary Poppins was a flying homeless person, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a kind of blood parasite she is infected with, you'll get hep C if she spits on you.
Re: How many Blues fans does it take?
2584I was talking to a woman about my comedy career and she said I needed to take life by the balls and crush them. Clearly she has never owned balls. Why does taking control of life need to include genital mutilation?
Re: How many Blues fans does it take?
2585Every part of this worked until I said it was a roller derby girl and then these lesbians started hissing.CaptSMRT wrote:I was talking to a woman about my comedy career and she said I needed to take life by the balls and crush them.

2586And had they been lesbians from Kenya, they would've hissed twice as loudly.

Re: How many Blues fans does it take?
2587Grabbing life by the balls is a fairly common phrase. I don't see why I would be out of line by pointing out how sick it is to crush them.JMC-STL wrote:And had they been lesbians from Kenya, they would've hissed twice as loudly.

I am not buying that. Cancer is a terrible thing, which makes it an important thing to normalize through conversation.
Re: How many Blues fans does it take?
2592You can't normalize human emotional responses to tragic circumstances just by a one-liner or quip or a Tweet ... unless you're Ellen or Dr. Phil or The Donald.

I spend all weekend paranoid that I have terminal eye cancer...but I can't talk about it because it is too tragic.

2598I'm a Marine biologist and the number one question people ask me is if it is okay to keep dolphins in captivity. I think it depends on what the dolphin did...if it stole a car, then yes.

2599"LOL" I believe is how you kids put it these days.
But where do you go with this? It will rather quickly evoke George Costanza comparisons from the more sophisticated members of your audience. And believe me, you're no George Costanza.
