Are We Stlll Here?
Stealing the premise of Space: 1999 (and Michael Bay’s wet dreams), NASA will be blowing up the Moon about a half-hour from the time of this post. There’s no Rapture Insurance for this, alas, but the good news is that we probably won’t need our Porn Buddy to cover for us.

Cloudy day here, alas, so I won’t be able to see the Moon explode. That said, the GOP and Teabaggers are about to have their heads explode when they open up their morning papers and learn that the Nobel Peace prize has been awarded to the Kenyan president. LOL!
@Serolf Divad: Thats what I thought when I woke to it. And really, isn’t this like giving the Heisman out after only the first three games? He’s barely played any in-conference peace games!
The Nabisco Quiver are Go!: Mind you, his games against Wyoming, UNLV and Dartmouth were tour-de-force wins.
I don’t think NASA will rest until we meet aliens that look like Space Spaghetti or hook up with shapeshifting babes with freaky eyebrows (yes, I am a nerd who loved this show as a kid.)
Wells Time Machine might be more relevant. didnt they blow up the moon?
That’s Phase II. They haven’t built the moon condos yet.
I loved it too, in all it’s bizarre, cerebral, psychedelic glory.
And the theme song! With all its 70s wockety wockety geetars!
So, is the moon still there? Is it wobbling and off kilter? Fuckers!
@JNOV:
For now, I guess.
