Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
No, not Pratchett. The guy from earlier who was ranting about KISS.

I am super late to this, but I really think it is a good idea for all the American Heapers here who are eligible to vote to go ahead and vote. I understand that you might not feel knowledgeable enough to vote on certain things, but doing a little research might help you make up your mind. At the very least, I am pretty sure that you can usually just vote in the races you know about and leave blank the part of the ballot for the other races.
Even if your vote is not really going to count much, it seems to me that your vote is your voice. It is not all of us have such a great opportunity to influence government. Plus, you can probably bet that not voting is going to give politicians an excuse to not care what you think. I apologize if that all sounded preachy. I just believe that if you can vote, you should.
The accident on the Apollo 21 Lab Station couldn't be contained. Rescue missions sent to the station disaster hurriedly collected the lab's most recent studies of the sun's relations to a quantum vacuum. Unexpectedly the teams broke all protocol and transmitted this data openly and unencrypted. The data was a garbled mess of obscure information and bizarrely outdated language. What could be gleaned from it though were very clear specifications for angles and spectral configurations for viewing specific parts of the sun. Attempts of following these directions using remote viewing from earth through space telescopes ruined the orbital equipment. All other manned orbital stations that attempted it immediately cut off their contact with the earth.
After a prolonged silence the medley of military presences in orbit unleashed themselves unilaterally unto the earth. Orbital kinetic bombardment weapons carved strange symbols across the earth's surface. The attacks on heavily populated areas however were primarily carried out by manned reentry drop-frames: armed suits intended for quick reaction force insertion. Millions of these orbital drop frames blazed through the atmosphere, unfurling into their squat insectoid shapes upon landing. The were covered in hastily painted glyphs. Downed drop frames always proved to have dead pilots hanging limply within.
Their only communications were being piped back and forth between the millions of drop frames: an endless loop of a synthesized voice saying
"Burn a path to earth. Prepare them for the Sun's arrival."
Recently in Japan, Kit Kats have come packaged with CD singles, and a special limited edition double pack of Kit Kat Crispy Monogatari came bundled with a mini book featuring six short stories (one of which written by Koji Suzuki, author of the Ring cycle series).
Yeah but the thing they always talk about whenever they're on some documentary or Howard Stern or whatever is how it's such a wonderful happy show that finally taught these grown men how to make friends and get along with others and then there's the whole positive message the show is supposed to convey
and then they're all like yeah wouldn't it be cool if they all beat just the shit out of each other
^^^ A work's fan base tends to exponentially increase in diversity, insanity, and potential for missing the point relative to how wide the periphery demographic is and how unexpected that demographic is/was. This is the logical conclusion.
Hogwash, you're probably up to at least ten by now! :B
Fun fact: My webcomic. The one that like a half dozen of you followed? Yeah, I got PMs on SmackJeeves about how hot-n'-sexy Spannith is (not from anyone here, mind). Not really one to begrudge people being attracted to my characters--kinda weird, but whatever--but at no point do you need to tell me about it.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
I've received some wierd-ass emails about my comic from people who took the time to track down my email address (as I left it off my site or any other contact info)
A good portion of them were asking about Deco and Lunchbox's relationship. Another was this other guy who apparently went all detective on me and wanted to verify if I was actually a Marine. Another was a guy who sent in photos of all his old and new shortwave/etc radios all tuned to 11.975MHz.

Well see, I'd understand if it was someone asking about character relationships, but this was "ZOMG SPANNITH IS TEH SEKZ". Which is really weird considering she's intentionally a Plain Jane.
Personally I always assumed Deco and Lunch were too young to really be into each other in that way.
Corporal Forsythe is a reasonable person, who is intelligent, and probably a descriptivist.
Anyways, I realized today that National Geographic was actually a soulless corporate entity coldly calculated to appeal to those of certain concerns, and not an actual unbiased observation of the environment and human culture.
Also, today I learned that people can afford cars but not encyclopedias.

I think I'm missing something here.
Are you saying that Pratchett was demeaning autistics?
herp-a-derp
