Better to hoist a beverage (or twelve)

I thought it was 'hoist *on* your own petard' (which is probably even more painful than getting one's Schlausen cut off).

Mine's the one with "Art Fern" written inside the collar.

So let me get this straight, some copyright infringers (politicians) are more equal than others?

But I have been considering making a video in Arabic explaining how to make and train an exploding, ninja squirrel sniper."

Yeah, but you're just wasting your time if you haven't trained that squirrel to water-ski. :-)

Mine's the one with the rodent fur collar and a faint odor of acorns.

...that the messing about with those big hadron things has transported us to a new reality."

Wasn't it messing around with a big hadron that made her famous on the intarwebs to begin with?

Alright, I'll accelerate out of here quietly.

and this is why News Corporation shouldn't own the Dow Jones (or any other) stock exchange."

The rest of your comment was interesting, but I feel it necessary to point out that Dow Jones is a news and financial analysis service, and not a stock exchange.

Good news, Otto!

Reynolds Wrap also comes in a heavy duty version!

As for JonnyGee's anti-perspirant suggestion, maybe you can do like the Sci-Fi Channel's series "Eureka" and get a corporate sponsorship from whatever that company is which they keep "product placing" serveral times each episode.

Mine's the one with the sweat-stained armpits.

As long as I'm being paranoid....

Far be it from me to say anything derogatory or of a suspicious nature about the same fine folks who dreamed up Operation Northwood, but...

If you were going to "appropriate" some of USAMRIID's anthrax to send to some of your unsuspecting pen pals (for whatever reason) and you knew that it might be possible to find out exactly where in USAMRIID the anthrax came from, from which scientist's anthrax stash would you pilfer, if not the one most easily made to look like a whacko?

Who will be the next Doctor?

unitron

Meanwhile, back in the states...

I have to rely on the Sci-Fi Channel for my Who fix, so I'm not sure how far behind I am.

It would be interesting to see a regenerated Doctor open *her* eyes and realise that he isn't a he anymore, but I had an idea the other day--

What if something went awry during regeneration and he came out as someone who morphs back and forth between two different incarnations, like say one moment he's Hugh Laurie and the next he's Stephen Fry!

(although what I really want to see is Fry's Gordon Wyatt character from the show "Bones" brought in for season or two of psychoanalyzing Hugh Laurie's character Dr. Gregory House on the show "House".)

Our greens don't wear collars

It's collard greens (for which I don't particularly care).

There's also seafood and hush puppies and real BBQ, not to mention the tomato flavored variety from the counties around Charlotte, which the people there seem to prefer for some unfathomable reason. :-)

They're responding to increasing demand by cutting back on production?

Why that practically qualifies them to run one of the Big 3 US automakers.

Battle of Britain pilots actually crap shots

unitron

They didn't have to be good...

...they just had to be better than the Luftwaffe. :-)

"The British pilots thought they had a death wish......"

They did. They wished for the death of the pilots flying for the country which had invaded and was occupying theirs.

Re: DS9

"DS9 ripped off B5"

And the result was two excellent shows.

What I want to see is a movie/TV version of the novel "Final Frontier" with Captain Robert April and Kirk's father.
