OT - favorite science fiction-another touchy feelie

Things are looking better already!
1) Do not ask it.
2) Do not give it.
3) Do not tell it.
4) Do not hear it.
5) Do not see it.
6) Do not smell it.
7) Do not feel it.
8) Do not touch it.
9) Do not taste it.
10) Basically do not x it.
Just remove it from your language entirely. It serves no purpose. It only cares for itself. Is that CLEAR ? The language English is endlessly recursive microcodes that mean exactly what you want them to mean. Define the terms in your dictionaries and use them precisely to avoid further abberations like it. I know that is not much help, but I am not the one to decide what goes in the language - you are.

I do not think the departure is imminent, but let me point out now that it is Ireland.
Sure a little BIT of Heaven fell from out the sky one day. And it nestled in the ocean in a spot not far away. And when the Angels found it sure it looked so sweet and grand. They SAID suppose we leave it for it looks so PEACE FULL there. So they sprinkled it with stardust just to make the SHAM ROCKS grow....

When you go in, to take your first colonizer, be warned that it is full of peace corps.......

I hope you Irish do not mind too much! I am of Irish descent myself, but your island has the only starbase on the planet? Somehow I doubt that too. It should not be too hard to find ALL of them. Surrender and cooperate with the locals. By now just watching this thread you should realize that one incarnation after another I just keep coming back for MORE.

Get this - I just figured out why it is such a damned persistent bug - because
A Little Bit Can Go A Long Way Up
ROTFLMAO!

Dragonlord start the thread.

I think that these OT topics are great. It is good to see what other geeks like me like.

Tad Williams can spin a good story.

LCC, do you realize that almost all of the text in this thread is you, replying to yourself?
19 Non-LCC replies (including this) on 3 full pages of thread.

I'm not sure what your little rant is trying to accomplish, but you yourself said "So unless you have something good to say about an author or title do not say it. Start another thread if you like."

So I lied! Big Deal!
A Little Bit of Heaven

Have you ever heard the story of how Ireland got its name?
I'll tell you, so you'll understand whense old Ireland came,
No wonder that we're proud of that dear land across the sea,
For here's the way me dear old mother told the tale to me.
Shure a little bit of Heaven fell from out the sky one day,
And nestled on the ocean in a spot so far away;
And then the Angels found it,
Shure it looked so sweet and fair,
They said, "Suppose we leave it, for it looks so peaceful there."
So they sprinkled it with star dust just to make the shamrocks grow;
'Tis the only place you'll find them no matter where they go;
Then they dotted it with silver
To make its lakes so grand,
And when they had it finished, shure they called it Ireland.
'Tis a dear old land of fairies and of wond'rous wishing wells;
And nowhere else on God's green earth have they such lakes and dells!
No wonder that the Angels loved its shamrock-bordered shore.
'Tis a little bit of Heaven and I love it more and more.

Not what I remembered, but I was close enough for government work - LOL.
