Angelus ,'Smile Time'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think the worst thing that happened in the Reagan years is the divorce of policy from reality. We can cut taxes to increase revenue, welfare queens, we need a military buildup in peacetime, nothing government does is good. Reagan would get up there and say stuff that just wasn't true to advance policy.
To this day we get ridiculous bullshit like ending earmarks will make a big difference in government spending, that tax rates are higher than ever, etc...
Wait...so could they theoretically play for ALL ETERNITY?
Well, in five billion years the sun will start to go nova, causing the seas to boil off, making things rather humid. Next, the ball would melt....

No, it isn't that bad. The warming of the sun will result in the depletion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere wiping out all macro life-forms in about 500 million years.
Ha! I had to link that guy on FB, and I'm going to need to send the link to my parents.
Germany scores, 'what a bomb' in the words of the announcers. Maybe not the best phrase to describe a German score.
I am so in love with both these guys, it's not even funny. And the Guardian blogger, of course.

Yeah, but we'll have orbiting satellites to deflect the excess solar output by then. But I suppose if the game is still going on in 500 million years they can just have the satellites reflect a bunch of solar energy onto the Wimbledon court....
Yeah, I so would have conceded hours ago. But that`s why I am lying abed with a mild cold and not a world class athlete battling for pride.
Sunset here. Do they get to stop playing for the light, at least, or are there evil floodlights to play under? 'Cause someone really has to call a human rights violation at some point.

Nah, there'll be plans to do it, but they'll never get built. People on holographic comment threads will still be claiming it's a massive hoax by the money grubbing heavy-lift space elevator industry when the end comes.
