I don't want to hear another word about the Kardashians.

Hear! Hear! They aren't that fascinating in any case.

I don't want to hear another word about the Kardashians, either, although they have completely slipped my mind :::I know I know them, from somewhere…:::

I agree! I also don't want to hear another word about Lindsay Lohan.

Rick wrote: "I agree! I also don't want to hear another word about Lindsay Lohan."

Good point Rick. I agree. I don't want to hear another word about the Lohan woman either.

But Preston, old chap, didn't you just supply another 17 words about the Lohan woman? Plus my 18.

LOL

I don't want to hear another word about Paris Hilton.

@Rick by your own admission you posted 18 more unnecessary words about the woman you mentioned in message 4 so why not chastise yourself? Of course that would add to your word count of 31.

(smiling innocently)

I also don't want to hear another word (or see another photo) of Justin Bieber.

Who's Justin Bieber?

Roger wrote: "Who's Justin Bieber?"

The 5th reincarnation of Ricky Martin.

Now I'm confused… Bring back Dean Martin ;-)

He's a teenage pop star who made his debut on YouTube and has done some really stupid things that are for some reason considered newsworthy. Go figure.

I think he might have ben part of the inspiration behind Nathan Cliffe in Boys of the Fast Lane.

Roger wrote: "Who's Justin Bieber?"

He's becoming the male version of Lindsay Lohan - drat I contributed to her perpetuation again.

I don't want to hear another word about how charmingly amazing Harry Styles is.

Sigh. That smile though...

Akhil you hunk! Your smile could outshine a thousand suns.

I never heard of the guy you mentioned so I had to Google him and he doesn't look like much to me besides he's got way too many ugly tattoos. You'd be much better off with me :-)

I don't want to hear another word about how far away India is from the US because I dream of being with Akhil the sexiest man on the planet.

Damn Harry Styles, I think there is a grave danger that Harry Smythe-Vane may run into Akhil and melt into that smile…

Oh you guys make me feel like...

How Cameron Diaz might be engaged. God, I'm sick of all the celebrity girly fangirling over in my school.

In that case I guess you don't want to hear about the guys version I made with gold&white/black&blue jeans and a tee shirt.

I don't want to hear another word about me supposedly being such a bad baby my parents had to put me up for adoption. I don't know who made up that story but its UNTRUE.

There is no such thing as bad babies, imo. There are those who shouldn't ever be parents.

My parents fricking abused me. And people think I was a bad baby?? I wasn't even old enough to realize what was happening!!!

It's too bad there isn't some way to have some kind of certification required to be parents.

Rick wrote: "It's too bad there isn't some way to have some kind of certification required to be parents."

In Mercurial craters children are given a contract at birth which outlines its parent's responsibilities and the prohibitions which constitute abuse.

Quarterly teachers specializing in Mercurial Crater Children Contracts training go into intensive, weeklong, one-on-one teaching of the content tailored to the child's age and development.

During these quarterly sessions the children are allow to eat as much candy and ice cream as they desire as well as their favorite foods. They wear their favorite clothing which can be their own or procured from stores.

The Department of Mercurial Crater Children Services oversees the systems of many other options which can be tailored to fit the circumstances and the needs of abused children including parental substitution where the children can choose the parents they prefer.

Of course the success of Mercurial Crater systems for the prevention of abuse are greatly assisted by the telepathic ability of Mercurial Crater inhabitants so that any abuse can be quashed in a manner of minutes.

Isn't quashing abusers, like,… abuse?

On Earth quash is a legal procedure. You are thinking of squash which is crushing and squeezing a thing. On a mercurial crater quash means to cause to be devoured by a mercurial monster whose teeth are a jillion razors. But this is not considered abuse on a mercurial crater. Your ethnocentric thinking is imposing your Earthling values on innocent Mercurians.

o.O

By Grabthar's Hammer, what have I done?

Rick wrote: "o.O

Started something, by The Suns of Worvan!

So when a local Mercurian lad (say in the pub) introduces the lady at his side as his "Squeeze," is he performing a legal procedure on her?

Who in Hades name is Grabthar? Not another crater on that poor benighted planet?

It still is classified as a planet, isn't it?

Roger wrote: "Preston wrote: "Who in Hades name is Grabthar? Not another crater on that poor benighted planet?."

Rick and I are quoting Dr. Lazarus (played by Sir Alexander Dane played by Alan Rickman) from Galaxy Quest.

Roger wrote: "... It still is classified as a planet, isn't it? "

Oh course it is. It orbits the sun (Criteria One achieved!); has achieved Hydrostatic Equilibrium (Criteria Two achieved!) and it's has cleaned up and/or controls it's orbital path (Criteria Three achieved!). Planetary Certification Granted.

Guess what? Mercury is a planet, unlike Pluto.

Roger wrote: "Who in Hades name is Grabthar?..."

How wonderful that you haven't seen Galaxy Quest because it means you have a magnificently mirth filled time awaiting you when you watch the movie.
Galaxy Quest

Quoting a tiny tad from a review:

This is a book version of the popular movie "Galaxy Quest" and is reasonably faithful to that very entertaining movie.

"A group of has been TV performers cash-in on their past glory by attendings Sci-Fi Conventions and signing memorabilia for their still enthusiastic fans. A fond tribute to the Star Trek phenomenon - that is until real aliens from Thermia, who have mistaken the TV show's episodes for reality…

Reading the rest of the review may give away too much so I recommend not reading it but rather buying the DVD of the movie.

Roger wrote: "... Who in Hades name is Grabthar? ..."

I second Preston's endorsement and, in fact, given the film Galaxy Quest a full Rickomendation. Not only does it star the unforgettable Alan Rickman, the always fantastic Sigourney Weaver, but Tim Allen even does a better job of being William Shatner than William Shatner has ever managed to pull off. You and Oliver will LOVE this movie!

It's ordered!

No it's NOT. Oliver just arrived on board to inform me we bought it ages ago and I have forgotten, so it will be unearthed and replayed!

Yay for an excellent memory!

:-)

Well, I guess I was wrong. If you've both seen and at least one of you forgot all about it - you must not have loved it.

Oh well - win some, lose some. What do I know.

No, no, not so, Oli told me I loved it and he thought it was funny, but it was a long time ago (apparently… oh, what do i know?)

Preston, Rick, Lori, Roger and Oli,
Watching the movie we'd all be jolly.

Whoops, sorry. I got mixed up and thought this was the two line poem game.

If this was the two line poem game it would do in my head…
Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't that in another thread?

What do I win? (Jumps up and down like a contestant on The Price is Right)

A one week all-expenses paid vacation aboard the TARDIS! Guaranteed non-stop thrills, chills, surprises and LOTS of running down corridors while being chased by aliens, monsters, demons, Donald Trump and other assorted nightmares! That's right, you've just won a roller coaster of experiences that will likely leave you either dead, hopelessly looney or so fundamentally changed your own family won't recognize you. And it all begn over two hours ago! But be warned: if you're not careful you may not remember any of it.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! [gathers things together and her tablet to take along for those quiet moment even though the Doctor's rumored to have an infinite library on hand .... waits impatiently for her ride appear]
