Steph, in Natter:
SWF, 33, wordnerd, bookslut, jazzbo, comics freak, seeks golden calf to worship. Must not be in any way affiiated with or speak through George W. Bush. Looks unimportant. All serious replies will be answered.
Did I beat the rush? Gud, in Natter:
You can worship Gudanov! Why Gudanov? No goat or chicken sacrifices are required. Choose your own holy texts, the collected works of Neil Gaiman, Spiderman comics, whatever works for you. Bathrooms with the holy image of Gudanov on the back are strictly optional. All you need to start is a Gudshrine(tm) available in three easy payments of $19.99. But that's not all, with your Gudshrine(tm) you also get a mug with a picture of Gudanov on it, a $30 value.
Gudanov worship does not guarentee any benefits in your current life or any potential afterlife. Gudanov worship has not been shown to provide any advantage over more established religions in scientific studies. Gudanov worship should not be performed by pregnant women or men with pickup trucks with a gross vehicle weight exceeding five tons.

Gandalfe:
I was just talking about this with someone yeasterday, and I was trying to think of SF films that are truly thoughtful, and I could only come up with about 5 - Alien, Blade Runner, 2001, Solaris, and maybe Andromeda Strain.
Polter-Cow:
Alien is thoughtful? I thought there was just the killin'.
DavidS:
Did you think about the killing? I thought so.
Also, I think there was a lot of thought put into the design, creating a credible, lived in future.
tommyrot:
Also, there was a scene (that was cut) of the Alien reading "Atlas Shrugged."
Nearmiss, you'll want to post that in the thread where it actually happened:

Hec in Natter regarding an unusual wedding gift:
We got two little coaster sized things of the highly unfortunately named "rimming salt."
Nutty and ita on fashion don'ts:
Nutty: If you are wearing tiger-print stacked heels, and you have spider-toes that run over the front edge of your shoes, you may not have french-tipped pedicured toes
ita: You're really patient. I'd have offed this person way before noticing their nailpolish.
