So, no space elevator in the next few months?

She's handling two kids under five years old?

You're not 'showing up for coffee' you're providing a needed mental health break.

It's early, maybe you need some more coffee?

They would eat other things as well as their babies.

Also, did you support Wikipedia?

Although the alligator has a heavy body and a slow metabolism, it is capable of short bursts of speed, especially in very short lunges. Alligators' main prey are smaller animals they can kill and eat with a single bite. They may kill larger prey by grabbing it and dragging it into the water to drown. Alligators consume food that cannot be eaten in one bite

Support Wikipedia.

I read a science fiction story where the human crew lands on a planet populated by intelligent alligators. The alligators produce hundreds of babies at a time. The Queen invites the humans to dinner and offers them a stew made from her own offspring...

I take the long view. In the 1950s Conservatives would tell you that Rock and Roll was a danger.

Whatever nonsense they come up with today will pass on and they will find some other nonsense to scare their voters.

Do we have a right to ask you to prove it?”

As a GOP master [de]bater I'd jump on that last one. "Certainly you have a right. I'll bring in a note from my doctor tomorrow,"

The great thing about this is that we have now stepped past the "why" part of the argument and gotten to the "how."

It's all good.

Sounds like they learned it in therapy and/or wsupport groups.

"That's why we'll have to fire a dozen teachers; so we can have trained inspectors on hand."

You have to put yourself in their mindset...

The GOP is just a bad debater.

My immediate thought was to say something like "That question proves my point! We have no way of knowing who is or isn't trans without careful testing!"

It is an interesting point. I once heard an anecdote that Jimmy Cagney hated being impersonated in Warner's cartoons, but Bogart got a kick out of it. The same with Weird Al, some folks love getting parodied and others refuse to have him touch their songs.

Personally, I think it would be pretty sweet if some spaceship three hundred years from now was using her voice .

As a side note. The MPAA ratings system came out in 1968. Any movie made before that was automatically "G" rated if it had been shown in theaters. So if you showed "Goldfinger" in a theater it would be "G." But movies get rated differently if it's VHS/DVD; so when the movie went on sale it was PG, then PG-13.

See if you can find "Black Sails" It's got all the sex and violence and intrigue GOT promised in a much more fast paced form.

Even wilder. Look at the Sean Connery James Bond movies. The smoking and drinking are the least offensive things. Back in the day, Bond was considered suitable to be sold as a kids' toy.

Watch an Peter O'Toole movie, 'The Stunt Man.' Great movie; funny, scary, exciting, romantic, plus a bunch of great plot twists.

There's a scene where a kinda schubby screen writer talks about how he paid $1,000.00 to fly to Guatemala to have sex with a 14 year old virgin.

That line was considered only mildly off-color when the movie came out.

The book was written by a Jewish guy named Norman Spinrad. In the foreword we learn that in 1922 Adolph Hitler went to America and became a science fiction illustrator and, after his English improved, a writer. This is his final and most popular novel, a tale of a young man who was exiled from his homeland and finally returns to find it under the control of a mysterious cabal of mind readers...

[off topic?]

I had heard about Gone with The Wind all my life and I knew it was incredibly racist. It finally came on basic cable and I decided to see what all the fuss was about.

I found myself watching and liking a movie I knew was complete and utter bullshit.

I'm not a giant fan of the books, but this one is great.

Q gives Lwaxana a portion of his powers, with results that suprise even him...
