I TiVo FNL and give myself at least a half-hour buffer. I watch it by myself, because I tend to flail and make a lot of incoherent noises.

Why would one need one's suede cap to be shock-absorbent?

For the nuclear bomb's shockwave, of course!

Why would one need one's suede cap to be shock-absorbent?

I think it might have something to do with the thought transference.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

In the Future, we will have very poor depth perception, and fragile heads.

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

For the nuclear bomb's shockwave, of course!

Ah. And then the barrage-balloon trousers would be to defend one against enemy aircraft trying to sneak under the radar....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why would one need one's suede cap to be shock-absorbent?

To avoid concusion when one trips on the balloon cloth trousers. More importantly... why would one need stick on eyebrows?

Who came closest to predicting bluetooth earpieces? Empire Strikes Back? Or was there something earlier?

I'm guessing that all of the radiation made us lose our hair or something.

Uhura had a wicked earpiece in Star Trek.

Oh, I just read this one now:

Jacques Heim thinks a popular wardrobe item in the year 2000 might be a fishnet costume treated to protect milady from atomic radiation; a full skirt would be designed to envelope the wearer completely.

I told you it was all about the nuclear bombs!! The stick-on eyebrows were because all the hair falls out with the radiation sickness.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Checking my lame-ass math skills. 14 is what percent of 86?
