  1. Purdue is a good team, but having seen UConn in the tournament so far, I think I'd take the over.
  2. "If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd have stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea!" "God be between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk."
  3. ...and what did he mean, "Slow of mind"?
  4. Are you envisioning an animated series? And if so, can I be the voice of Starburst? He is a scientist, right?
  5. That's still a better look than any of her three catsuits. At least it's a uniform.
  6. This one thing is representative of the main problem I had with Enterprise: so much of it was just gratuitous. T'Pal's catsuit, the half-naked decon chamber scenes, the 90s power ballad opening theme, etc. So many things that were supposed to broaden the show's appeal, but didn't contribute anything of quality to it. ( And let's not forget how much better Deanna Troi looked in a proper uniform than in her three rotating catsuits. )
  7. Featuring the Rome (GA) Emperors, whose mascot is a penguin. ("Penguin" is also my daughter's nickname, so I'm already inclined to love this team.) A new MiLB club played its first game last night, and you've got to see its celly
  8. Whiskey? Cognac? What are these strange concoctions of which you speak?
  9. Literally the case for my younger brother. Before his traumatic brain injury, he was a drafter and project manager for an engineering company. He kept talking about going back to work for that company; one effect of the TBI was that he couldn't understand that he wasn't capable of doing that anymore.
  10. There are seven billion people in the world. So when one of them behaves badly toward you, he's actually doing you a great favor because he's saving you time. He's telling you that he's not worth your while. He's freeing you to say, "Thank you for the information. I will now move on to the 6,999,999,999 other people, some of whom may have some value."
  11. If you make a flute out of a corn cob, you'll never have to worry about reading sheet music again. You can just play by ear.
  12. Relax, gents. I've seen the entire series before. And seasons 3 and 4 were pretty good. Except for the finale, of course. But there is a lot of chaff to sift through to get to anything substantial, mainly in the first season. We'll see.
  13. After a bit of binge-watching during my family's spring break, I finished re-watching the 4th season of Star Trek: Discovery. It is an interesting series. I feel like each season has been incrementally better than the one before. And the last two or three episodes, where the crew are trying to figure out how to communicate with a completely alien species using hydrocarbon chains and light sequences, might be the best science fiction in the whole franchise. Whoever wrote these episodes was clearly a fan of Carl Sagan's Contact. Now maybe I'll give Enterprise another shot.
  14. Birthday presents are just prizes for living longer.
  15. Yes, this kind of scintillating dialogue is one of the things that makes the episode so ... memorable.
  16. Let's hear it for your Sacramento A's! A's officially leaving Oakland after 2024, will play in Sacramento through 2027 until Vegas stadium is ready
  17. "Apologies for my associate. His filter was taken from him by cognition pirates. Very sad."
  18. "Worry is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength."
  19. The first two episodes of the third and final season of Star Trek: "Spock's Brain" : Mother of Hades, this was a bad episode. "The Enterprise Incident" : As good as the previous episode was bad. Leonard Nimoy is brilliant as Spock seduces a female Romulan commander, while a surgically-altered Kirk sneaks around the Romulan ship, trying to steal their new cloaking device.
