Life in the temperate zone...

Yes, I'm rather looking forward to that! I hope to meet TweetleTramp and TweetleTrump and maybe the Toothless Fairy that lives in the deep south of the Gumdrop Forest.
 
No, those pigs were quite likable and you don't really expect a pig to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Clearly, Muppet pigs are much nicer than the SpaceForce kind.
 
Back in my college days, I wrote a paper on Late Cretaceous dinosaurs eating a lot of plants that were the ancestors of modern plants like spinach, containing lots of iron. And, being cousins of reptiles, they weren't fond of direct sunlight in their eyes. Right around the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, they were all standing around eating these iron-rich plants, facing north so the sun wasn't in their eyes, and a geomagnetic reversal occurred. Since iron is stored mostly in the brain, it whipped their heads around to the south, and broke all their fucking necks.

Or, maybe, it was some asteroids hitting the planet.
 
I don't believe it... I got a few things from TreeStiffy.com and they were actually in stock! And, they shipped my order an hour after I placed it! Damn, it's like deja vu. Like the old days. Of course, it was just a small order... like $42 or something.

It does look like they finally got some stuff back in stock that I had to get elsewhere. Maybe they're getting things sorted out.
 
I also like Stephen King and Peter Straub... and their collaborative efforts. Years ago I read The Talisman and then Black House... been so long, I recently decided to re-read them. In spite of having gotten a bit tired of the genre, these guys write so well it's been a pleasure to read actual books that are of a purely entertainment nature. You know, like the BuzzBoard. Oh, wait... there's a little science in these posts, somewhere. Buried in the bullshit and bravado, there is that thread of intelligent discourse, snaking its way amongst the snafu and snapshots of trees being murdered.

It does, indeed. The wind blows and you hear the old Twilight Zone series theme song. Tourists are so creeped out, when they stop at Casey's for gas they just throw large bills on the counter so they can get back in their cars and leave quicker. Wreckage from crashed UFOs and airliners that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle in the '60s is scattered in the cornfields. You have to dodge potholes, cosmic vortexes and sinkholes to Hell on what passes for city streets. We have bible thumpers standing on one corner, selling the Good Book and rubber chickens, and Satanic Cultists on the opposite corner speaking Latin in reverse and selling dildos. The mayor is a Swedish pig farmer and the city council wear black hoods at the meetings. The pizza parlor has a dungeon where they keep the children and the pedophiles... no, wait... that was somewhere/somebody else.

There was that old Hotel Hello out on the edge of town, with the burned out letter "o" on their neon sign, where they planted tourists like potatoes, and havested them with a tractor. I'm pretty sure it burned down years ago and they built a chicken nuggets factory on the site.

Yeah, it's a lot like Ohio, really. I hate to admit it.

Whats up with that locked Weekend Accomplishments thread at the start of the Off Topic section?

Better question: who said what to offend whom to get it locked up?
