- Absolutely. I would even take a one-way trip to Mars. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 3, 08:12
- 1 day orbit? Maybe, though the cramped quarters don't sound appealing. I wouldn't want to live in a place where I need an O2 supply though. -- nm - Max Dec 3, 08:06

  - As was said, it is not really a height. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 07:42 2

- Hells yes. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 3, 07:35
- Yes, in a heartbeat - Reagen Dec 3, 07:30 6
  - "We're gonna need a bigger rocket!" -- nm - TWuG Dec 3, 07:35 2
    - Very possibly an issue. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:36 1
      - Fact: At an early age, after viewing the space capsules at the Grissom Memorial, etc, I ruled out being an astronaut when I saw how cramped they were. - Spawn Dec 3, 07:37
  - You miss Vulcan that much? -- nm - David Dec 3, 07:32 2
    - He can't go through the pon farr ritual anywhere else. -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:37
    - I'd never survive the heat. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:34
- Yes, and I expect to have a profound spiritual experience as part of the deal. -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:26
- Not on the first trip, but I'd go on the tenth trip. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 3, 07:26

  - You're not going to fall down anywhere in space. -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:25 2
    - Ha, true! I don't really feel scared when I fly but it might be different in a shuttle going to space. -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 07:30
    - Or strictly speaking, you are *always* falling, and missing. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:30
- No. too many unknowns for my tastes -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:18
Fiesta Bowl will be #11 LSU (9-3) vs #8 UCF (12-0). UCF can put up or shutup against a second tier SEC team...should be fun -- nm - Beaker Dec 3, 07:07 9
- Read a good article that said the committee screwed up with this matchup. Instead of Michigan-Florida 57, should have gone UCF-Florida & Michigan-LSU. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 3, 08:21
- Meh. LSU isn't going to show up, no motivation. Just like Auburn last year. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 3, 07:21 2

  - Bros before Hos. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:08 11
    - how would you react if Remlik showed up at your door with those signs for Amy? -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:09 10
      - Much worse than she did when he showed up with signs for me. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:12 9
        
        I hear he followed Corey around for a month with a video camera -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:13
        
        he does that shit to all his dude friends. -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:12 7
        
        My alt post was: No, it would be *you* showing up and I would run you over with my car. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:13 6
        
        I would write the messages on my cock. -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:13 5
        
        Ha! you must have very small handwriting. -- nm - Remlik Dec 3, 08:35
        
        There are not enough abbreviations in the world. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:17 3
        
        it may take a week for me to get everything in, but I would. - groiny Dec 3, 08:18 2
        
        You clearly do not know Amy's attention span. -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 08:21 1
        
        if it is something worth waiting for! -- nm - groiny Dec 3, 08:23
- In reality, Ferb shut down all of Heathrow for several hours from a suspected terrorism incident. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:05 15
  - Yeah, that was one of the parts he railed against. -- (edited) - Inigo Dec 3, 07:11 2
    - I know a young German guy who's been to the US for three weekends in the last 18 months, had the night of his life all three times. - Max Dec 3, 08:11
    - I'd file that under stupid but possible. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:14
  - My wife and I were laughing about that last night. Different times. - Volnelk Dec 3, 07:10 1

    - Random Wisconsin bar, for me. -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:10 8
      - I hate that story line. I like Laura Linney's, Alan Rickman/EmmaThompson's. Most of thevothers are, at best, problematic. I don't get angry, but i - Andie Dec 3, 07:27 5
        
        And look what happens to those two. Maybe it should be called "Love, from a woman's perspective, kinda sucks" - Roger More Dec 3, 07:32 4
        
        Andrew Lincoln's only works out in the sense that he burdens his stalker-victim with his emotional detritus in order to "move on". -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 07:41 3
        
        Exactly - he gets personal growth and can move on. (Maybe). Linney and Thompson are stuck in relationships they don't get much happiness from. -- nm - Roger More Dec 3, 07:51 1
        
        Love, Actually, Is Shit -- nm - Spawn Dec 3, 07:54
        
        "Enjoy your marriage but know I'm always out there as an escape hatch!" -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:43
      - That's another great one, but so minor an arc I don't even care about it's absurdity. - Will Hunting Dec 3, 07:24
      - January Jones! -- nm - Shaun Dec 3, 07:12
- Give me his name, address, and next of kin information. -- nm - ty97 Dec 3, 07:03 2
  - so you can congratulate him on having good taste and knowing a terrible movie when he sees it ? -- nm - decline Dec 3, 07:08 1
    - I'm voting you out at the next Tribal Council. -- nm - David Dec 3, 07:31
NYT did an article on the cashless trend last December apparently -- (link) - ty97 Dec 3, 07:02 3
- I'd like to point out that many businesses have a minimum to use a card and often I want to buy something for less and can't without cash. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 3, 07:34 2
  - The places I know that are cashless are not catering to the underbanked. - Roger More Dec 3, 08:01 1
    - Right now that's the case but I don't think it'll end with them. -- nm - Krusty Dec 3, 08:12
Last night, Small Fry fought me *bitterly* on which concept: - Reagen Dec 3, 07:01 12

      - My wife just sternly furrowed her brows and doesn't know why. -- nm - Reagen Dec 3, 07:51
