Darn! They could have called them the BCPMs. Behavorant-conditioned Pigeon Missiles. What the world will never know, alas.
I would be there right now.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Eventually, the army cut off funding, because they decided it was impractical.
Skinner showed that it was practical (for bombs, at least, during WWII, I don't know about missiles). It was more like this: if you invest in a new electronic bomb sight, and it doesn't work, it's too bad, you try the next thing; If you invest in Skinner's pigeon idea and it doesn't work you are the laughingstock of the whole country. No one in the Army had the guts to try it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Nilly landed safely at home.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Thanks for letting us know, Allyson.

I was thinking about her when I got up in the middle of the night. Glad she's home safely. Can't wait to see her on the board again!

Oh, good. Thank you, Allyson.

Thanks for the word, Allyson.

Thanks, Allyson. And thanks again for all your work organizing this.

Sad that the Nilly tour is over, glad to hear she arrived home safely. Looking forward to reading what she says about it all. Thanks to everybody who made it possible, hosts, organizers, guests, and all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Katerina Bee speaks for me.
(I love the way that sounds, I may need to find other opportunities to say it.)
Thanks to everyone involved. Just hearing about (and seeing pictures of) NillyTour '04 was a wonderful experience. I think I'm gonna have to get me one of those nifty tote bags.
