If I were an alien living inside a comet that had just been attacked without provocation, what would I do to retaliate?
Invade Mars?
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Invade Mars?
No, I thought aliens were the excuse to invade Iran. Or was that North Korea?
I get my excuses and targets all mixed up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh! Oh! Next time ask her what happens when the planet x or sedna is in your astrological chart! I'll bet she goes crosseyed.
edit: if she baits as easily as my father does on this topic. Woo, it can be fun.
Hehehe. I think Christmas dinner just got a lot more interesting.
ION news, Aerosole just sent me an email saying they are having a sale. I think I may need these: [link]

I can't even.
Portia, with the red collar.
Am I the only one who thought "At Tenagra" when they read this?
Portia, when the walls fell.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Planet X. I used to know a wee bit about strange beliefs regarding a Planet X, now my mind is drawing a blank.
I think the angry aliens in the comet are conferencing with Tom Cruise at his evil lair, with plans to blame the demise of their homeland (the comet) on Brooke Sheilds and psychiatrists.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Planet X by way of the 8th dimension?

All this planet X and angry aliens talk has led to me being earwormed with Orbital Be-Bop (dancing in heaven). It might not be so bad if I knew more than 8 of the words.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
You people are funny. Especially "Operation Comet Spank."
I got out of an all-morning Meeting of Doom with people who have in their heads the notion that they followed up/did due dilligence/suggested something, but do not actually pursue any of these notions outside of their heads. We all had to be very diplomatic and play along with their version of the events (blaming us for problems), and then we privately went out to lunch and blamed them! Blame blame blame. The problem, of course, being that there's not even an expectation that they will not do the "in my head I did it" thing again, because we were under orders not to mention that part.
Stupid people. Can't live with them, can't call them stupid to their faces without getting fired. What to do??
I spent last week at a genetics convention in LA. There was a Scientology convention at the same hotel
Oh, oh, that's almost as much fun as the time that Boskone, a regional science fiction convention, was in the same hotel complex as a mega-evangelical Christian convention. Double points, because the Christian folks were carrying around Jews for Jesus shopping bags. (?!?) It was one of those same planet, different universes type of situations (in thoroughly polite fashion).
