Speaking of Japan, I got to watch the Red & White Song Festival on cable, and they had a special guest.

Only five years until we have flying cars, rehydrated pizzas, Hoverboards and the Cafe 80s.

Only 2 years to the end of the world!

It's the year we make contact.

Or, rather, it would have been, if we'd gone to the Moon in the mid-to-late 90's and Jupiter just under a decade ago.

All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there.

Shouldn't there be Terminators, like, ****ing everywhere by now?

There are indeed Terminators everywhere sir, in fact I think I just saw one attempt a backstroke through my bowl of tomato soup.

I think you are thinking of croutons.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 12:15 pm

It's an easy enough mistake to make.

bumblemusprime · Post by **bumblemusprime** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 5:29 pm

They both crunch when you stick them in your mouth, only in the Terminator's case it is your teeth doing the actual crunching.

It's probably for the best. I don't much enjoy the thought of a painful death.

Though this could also be easily achieved by choking on a crouton...

Better wipe the computer program that will create croutons.

That's called a recipe.

Uh-oh. How do we combat the threat of a several-billion-strong network of cooks and chefs from being compromised? We're doomed!

Oh how time flies. But if you go back to the earliest Sci-Fis, like Asimov or Lem, then we would have had those futuristic techs 10 years ago already. Or even in 1990. (Btw, shouldn't the Eugenic Wars have happened by now?)

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 1:26 pm

Or, if you go back to even earlier science fiction, like Wells or Verne, we should be a couple of decades into a post-apocalyptic Dark Ages.

How do you know we're not?

HOW DO YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT????????????????????????????????

The economy is destroyed, there's no oil, we're all linked by an epic wireless network of machines, the ozone layer is destroyed, the icecaps are melting, the pandas are dying, we're in a perpetual state of war and I haven't had my lunch!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Jan 07, 2010 5:25 pm

Well, the Dark Ages were a time of intellectual and innovational drought, and today everything seems to be about dumbing down and choosing the lowest common denominator, so...

You're absolutely right! Welcome to the new Dark Ages, people!

Where's Multivac? I've got some entropy needs reversing!

Can you make people smarter while you're at it?

Hungary nothing, it's worse when he's Georgia, because he insists on putting that drag and that really scary make-up. Brr.

IronHide · Post by **IronHide** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 1:22 am

Speaking of brrr...its single digits outside. Winter weather is just unpleasant

Its cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table.

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 6:09 pm

Strangely enough, we are actually experiencing some quite mild weather here in the North right now.

We've had a few days of utter p*ss-freeze, with temps reaching down to -30* C (-22F), but now we're going up, up, up. All the way to 0 (32F). Hrrm.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 6:29 pm

It's not cold until the fridge-freezer starts behaving like a heating appliance and it's not a malfunction.

saysadie · Post by **saysadie** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:32 pm

That's pretty much winter in Canada. You're all a bunch of pussies.

Though it's been single digits here as well for the past couple of days... It's almost t-shirt weather! We've thrown the windows open to get some fresh air.

I'll worry about the temperature when next door's palm trees no longer act defiant of the weather. Seriously, using only their appearance as a guide, all you'd be able to determine is whether it was windy or not.

Are they wearing scarves? It's a proven fact that wearing a scarf can save your life. Much like always carrying a towel is a good idea.

I was kidding about the pussies thing, btw. People here also prove incapable of being adequately prepared for winter most of the time. It almost makes me weep.

No scarves visible. Maybe they've evolved their own internal scarf analogues.

Why stop at winter? Any weather seems to bring out the unprepared.

"Snow? But we never get snow!"
"Floods? But it hardly ever rains!"
"Sunshine? But it's always raining!"
"Hurricane? But it's hardly ever windy!"

At least you can put snow chains on your tires! Here, it gets you a big ol' ticket. I have these wicked awesome snow chains that I cant use!!!
