Skazz Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 But... I like when people sing Happy Birthday to me. I'm worried now. Should I revoke my membership in the human race?
Guard Dog Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 I sing happy birthday to my dog. I don't know when her birthday is or how old she is. But I found her on 7/12/2014 so on that day she gets a special meal and a treat from Woofgang Puck 9 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Whenever you go with friends to a restaurant just have one of them tell the waiters that it's your birthday. 2 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Gromnir Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 3 hours ago, Raithe said: image phillip k. d!ck, in the intro to a collection o' his short stories, spoke o' heinlein: Several years ago, when I was ill, Heinlein offered his help, anything he could do, and we had never met; he would phone me to cheer me up and see how I was doing. He wanted to buy me an electric typewriter, God bless him—one of the few true gentlemen in this world. I don't agree with any ideas he puts forth in his writing, but that is neither here nor there. One time when I owed the IRS a lot of money and couldn't raise it, Heinlein loaned the money to me. I think a great deal of him and his wife; I dedicated a book to them in appreciation. Robert Heinlein is a fine-looking man, very impressive and very military in stance; you can tell he has a military background, even to the haircut. He knows I'm a flipped-out freak and still he helped me and my wife when we were in trouble. That is the best in humanity, there; that is who and what I love. am thinking heinlein is misunderstood by many as some kinda jingoist warhawk. maybe he was. *shrug* regardless o' phillip k's opinion o' heinlein's ideas, am personal a big fan o' the moon is a harsh mistress and we believe job: a comedy of justice, is criminal underappreciated. HA! Good Fun! 4 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

Raithe Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I always remember Heinlein on E.E. "Doc" Smith... Heinlein reported that E. E. Smith perhaps took his "unrealistic" heroes from life, citing as an example the extreme competence of the hero of Spacehounds of IPC. He reported that E. E. Smith was a large, blond, athletic, very intelligent, very gallant man, married to a remarkably beautiful, intelligent, red-haired woman named MacDougal (thus perhaps the prototypes of 'Kimball Kinnison' and 'Clarissa MacDougal'). In Heinlein's essay, he reports that he began to suspect Smith might be a sort of "superman" when he asked Smith for help in purchasing a car. Smith tested the car by driving it on a back road at illegally high speeds with their heads pressed tightly against the roof columns to listen for chassis squeaks by bone conduction —a process apparently improvised on the spot. 3 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
