  • I spent a week in that town one night....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Forget the movies.  It's on the tubes about every 15 minutes.  http://www.ispot.tv/ad/73wB/dairy-queen-jurassic-smash-blizzard-jurassic-world

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

No one will be cloning dinosaurs from recovered dna........it doesn't last long enough in amber to be useful in a cloning process.

with our current technologies...

Having read quite a bit of sci-fi, it's definitely possible!

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

And this is cool.  Piano guys cover the Williams theme from Jurassic Park.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Forget cloning dinosaurs - with Globular Warming, if the ice caps melt, we're REALLY going to be in for it!!

And here's proof that scientists have known this since the '50s . . .

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
