Getting My Bladder to Last 900 Miles

I would guess -- or at least HOPE -- that latter group's posts are just as tongue-in-cheek as the former's.

Either way, I don't think I've laughed as much at any PC post I've ever read.

I know. I'm blonde and even *I* get it!

 

Hey, I just took it as someone who had no clear idea how far you could drive on a tankful, and was making an amusing pun on the gas bladder.

Okay. Thank you. One more reason not to have a TV. I'm really not interested in the emotional breakdowns of almost-famous people, or the trivia that the entertainment industry decides to spoon-feed to the public in the name of "news." I suspect it's watching this sort of pap during most of the 8 hours a day that they're not sleeping or working that renders half the American public capable of voting for people like we have today in public office.

 

Too funny:

Well theres no doubt that PC'ers can change their screen names on a given day... <_<

For those that don't know: "Delta Flyer" is the name of a "hot rod" shuttle on Voyager: Star Trek. The last 2-3 Star Trek movies have done badly (IMHO, everything Star Trek in the last decade).

The next Star Trek movie will be about Kirk and Spock in Starfleet Academy. What better way to make it a blockbuster movie than to insert a Lisa Nowak cadet?

Especially since you KNOW Kirk would make the moves on her.

Really, Kirk is the most like our contemporary leaders: The sex drive of Bill Clinton and the diplomatic skill of George W. Bush.

True, but the nickname was arrived at from Star Trek.



Many of you would enjoy viewing Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country...

- comments about "cowboy diplomacy"

- A conspiracy led by "Colonel West" (not North?)

- they could not have predicted this: The President of the Federation had a mass of white hair and put them to sleep with his speech. Probably something about "a bridge to the 24th Century"

 

Shouldn't your profile say: "My other vehicle is a Space Shuttle"?

The Delta Flyer is a 24st century shuttle. I wouldn't be caught dead in one of the 20th century versions....not funny - the rumble waking me up one Saturday morning was the Columbia breaking up. Some people outside in the Dallas/Fort Worth area saw it too.

Suppose they'll be any safer in the 24th than they were in the 20th century? If space flight were to become common, shuttles would have to be made more cheaply, like cars. They'll have more experience, but they'll also be complacent. Accidents will be common enough that people stop thinking a lot about them, like cars.

Just because those Vulcans make those "logical" space shuttles that admittedly can get more lightyears to the pound of dilithium and have an almost-flawless safety record, I still think you should buy your Earth-made space shuttle because, well, it was made on Earth. At least, those that haven't closed their factories and moved to Mars (damn Solar System Free Trade Alliance).
