LONG LIVE RED CHINA (Would you like your troll mein with soft or crispy noodles?)

China will never go down, and don't think you can banish communism. Because the people won't let it. They know they are the last standing, they are the only ones left. America is in a decline while China's climaxing, America will go down. We are just done with our prime, if anything, we were going into a depression since 1992 (and don't say you don't know that year). Communism is the American's medias' worst nightmare, because of censorship. I hope we all have to read one newspaper and wipe my butt with one brand of tiolet paper. I hope we all die for our next generations to wear the red armband. We deserved 9/11, and they enjoyed it. You probably hate me now, I know, you just still think like its 1945, well too bad its 2005. We only stand to fall.

[tuliptree76]

I'd like some popcorn, please. :-)

[Monkey Face]

Or Ju-Ju-Bys at least. Or a Sugar Daddy.

[Das Outsider]

I've been elsewhere. Sorta. I think.

Yeah. Thought so. Kinda. Ya know?

[tuliptree76]

What is this, Communist China?

Chaw on this a while.


It's fresh.

[tuliptree76]

Hi Darks. :-)

[Darksheare]

Yeah, the old 5.25" floppies were very picky about age and humidity.

[Das Outsider]

*glances at the thread title*

Snared in my own net! *slow but accelerating clap*

[Darksheare]

No Junior Mints for you!
You get gruel with your coffee, but no extra insects!
We run a respectable collectiv here!
/ bad joke.

[Darksheare]

Like, bummer.
Thought I'd be, you know, more stealthy about it.
Maybe.

[Das Outsider]

We run a respectable collectiv here!

I thought we were an autonomous collective.

[Darksheare]

Hello!
Been busy.
Been going crazy.
Been freezing.

[Dead Corpse]

That is what you get for living North of the Mason-Dixon.

[tuliptree76]

I'm hungry for Junior Mints now.

[Monkey Face]

i had all my data from the 5.25's transferred in 1994, I think. I have no idea where they are...

[Darksheare]

Drats!
You are correct.
*chuckle*

[Dead Corpse]

Curious... I'm thirsty for another beer...

Coincidence?

[Das Outsider]

This is where you say, "You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship: a self-perpetuating autocracy..."

[Monkey Face]

We only got up to about 71 today...:o[

[Dead Corpse]

Bread box. Underneath the rye bread.

[Dead Corpse]

N'ya n'ya... It was close to 80 here today...

[darkwing104]

Could I please be added to the ping list?

Done

[Monkey Face]

We've had 82 days without rain! So there!

[Monkey Face]

Thanks!

Welcome to the Undead Thread! I mean, as long as you're here...don't be a stranger!

[darkwing104]

done

[Dead Corpse]

We've set records the last couple of days. Works for me...

[Das Outsider]

Welcome to the Undead Thread! I mean, as long as you're here...don't be a stranger!

Well, well, well....

[Monkey Face]

We haven't set records for heat OR for dryness, but we're awful close to the dryness record. I think two more days ties it.

It's all good when the sun shines WARMLY!

[Monkey Face]

"Well, well, well...."

A deep hole or shaft sunk into the earth to obtain water, oil, gas, or brine. A container or reservoir for a liquid, such as ink.

An enclosed space for receiving and holding something, such as the wheels of an airplane when retracted. Chiefly British. The central space in a law court, directly in front of the judge's bench, where the counsel or solicitor sits.

Take your choice...;o]

[Dead Corpse]

Gotta run...

See y'all tomorrow.

[Monkey Face]

Ah...thanks...I never look there...

[Monkey Face]

Ta!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No Junior Mints?

I prefer my chocolate with less wax then your average candle.

Now if you were bringing After Eight Mints that would be another thing. Especially the kind with the liquid centers.

:drools:

[Darksheare]

Yes.
That is one of the downside points of this area.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

:Passes over the bowl:

But now they have quit performing. It is so sad

[Darksheare]

I still have my 5.25 disks somewhere, but darned if they still work.
(Dunno, haven't looked.)

[Das Outsider]

Take your choice...;o]

Wheel, wheel, wheel....

[Darksheare]

And now I have a song by Styx stuck in my head.

[darkwing104]

Welcome to the Undead Thread! I mean, as long as you're here...don't be a stranger!

I am on King Prout's list. I just finished moving back to Florida and got my desktop set up.

[Das Outsider]

And now I have a song by Styx stuck in my head.

I had a railroad spike stuck in my head. Doctor took it right out.

[Darksheare]

I can't let doctors near my head.
They're after my Lucky Charms!

[Monkey Face]

Are you also on sionnsar's list? He's the keeper for the Undead Thread...the continuing saga...we move every month!


The flying castle is THE place to come when the rest of the threads get stupid...and the bars and kitchens are open 24/7!

[Monkey Face]

Don't let them get your Lucky Charms! You have no idea what that can do!

Journey Update:

As you may have noticed, the Earth and Moon are growing rather alarmingly as we observe them through the canopies.

It is almost time for another velocity change as we wend our toward Mars, in this case by way of a snap-the-whip maneuver around the Moon.

It might even appear that we are getting a little too close. Not to worry, it will all be over in a few minutes. Er, that is, we will be safely past in a few minutes.

We are scheduled to sail above even the highest peaks on the Lunar surface by more than a hundred miles, so it will only seem as though we are very close.

You will also note that the Moon is appearing in the same general direction that it did when we saw it disappearing last. That is because we are maintaining the same rotation direction, even though we are moving in a different planetary direction.

I’ve always wanted to go swinging widdershins around the Moon. Haven’t you?

Anyway, once past, we will see the Earth and Moon disappearing behind us once again for a very long time, as we trek onward toward Mars.

If we could keep up this speed, we would get to the Martian orbit very quickly. Unfortunately, as we climb out of the Sun’s gravity well, we will tend to lose momentum, reaching the peak of our travels about where Mars will soon be.

Then with a few adjustments to our orbital speed, we’ll settle into a nice orbit about Mars, and then we’ll send down our expedition.

Okay, that should be about the last sighting of the Moon on that side! Look around to the other side of the canopy quick and see it emerge over there! Look closely because it’s darker on this side.

You should also be able to see the lights of the cities of Earth in a moment. Don’t forget to wave! They may be watching.

[Das Outsider]

They're after my Lucky Charms!

How do you think they got to that position, eh? Your doctor's office is probably loaded with horseshoes, rabbit's feet, and four-leaved clovers. I hear surgeons do the same thing. Or was that sturgeons?

[Tax-chick]

Cool! All this circling is confusing, but I know you have it under control.

[King Prout]

onwards and upwards

[Monkey Face]

Probably the Sturgeon General issued warnings about the Lucky Charms floating aimlessly in spaces.

[Das Outsider]

The flying castle is THE place to come when the rest of the threads get stupid...

Which is why I'm here so much.

[King Prout]

say it with me now: "They're after me Lucky Charms!"
