Natter 36: But We Digress...  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I have a photo of the sign down on the cliffs in northwest San Francisco, warning about sudden waves that might wash people away.

I do believe Victor's and Thessaly's ferrets are on the lam from the Mass. State Police. Or more to the point, they couldn't buy them in Mass., but nobody stopped them from being imported from elsewhere. Just like fireworks!

"Object is not immune to the laws of physics"?

Every office I've worked in, that has a TV, has it on a tall wheely stand with those Universal Language Pictures on the side, of a guy pulling it from and having the TV fall on his head. So, not only are warnings like that necessary, they already exist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gravity is just a theory. School districts prefer to teach "intelligent attraction" these days.

Gravity? Please. If gravity exists, why can't we see it? Since we can't see "gravity," attraction between objects obviously must be caused by magic, some sort of supreme being, angels, Satan, or the Harry Potter books.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

the wild cow ancestors of the steppes.

Oh, the potential Far Side panels...

I'm picturing cows with fangs, wings and claws. And tails with a stinger on the tip that delivers a deadly venom.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd just like to mention that I think 'Escalante' is as great a word as 'vermin.'

Ferrets were illegal to keep in MA until fairly recently (along with commercial tattoo parlors), with the argument being that they couldn't be properly vaccinated for rabies. So if you kept a ferret you had to take it to a vet in NH.

I'm not at all sure about the status of snakes as pets, except that I've seen them on sale in pet stores, which would argue for very VERY lax enforcement.

I'm still shocked every time I see a tattoo parlor in MA. In my day, we kept that kind of sinning in New Hampshire, where it belongs!
