Ah, youth! I think I had one of those, once.

Nope. The Kaiser stole that, too.

My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

Here's the real question - after all the sci-fi movies you've seen over the last 50 years, do you want to be the first astronaut to venture into a space cave, and see what's in there?

Better to be the guys outside the cave holding the lifeline, waiting for 'three sharp tugs'. To the cave explorer it means 'haul me out ASAP'. To the the guys outside it means 'let go the line, toss in the thermite charges, and bunny-hop like crazy back to the drop-ship'.

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Happy for Ortega. Bet he got something 'nice' for signing. My church sends shoes to children who live in what the Nicaraguan government promised the peasants would be a recycling paradise if they gave-up their farms and moved to the place. The peasants for years have been there trying to squeeze-out an existence picking through the garbage dumped there from all over the country. The children, many orphans, play, eat, and live amongst the garbage without shoes. The only thing being recycled there is Ortega's empty promises and his "Rock Star" image among the Global Elites.  L:-)

What was the point at which industry influence got the upper hand over science in the federal government?

when people decided their jobs were being impacted by accurate, but inconvenient science, and started shopping for their own "facts"
