Remember how 2008 was "The Year of Communication" at Panther? What happened with that?

The night before 9/11 I enjoyed dinner with a friend at the restaurant on top of the WTC. The morning of 9/11 our plane lifted off the runway at JFK at approximately 8:00 bound for Los Angeles. The flight was diverted to St Louis, where we then learned of what had happened. Rental cars were...

"He was fairly articulate and conversant..." You left out, "clean and smelt good". :D The press builds 'em up, then tears 'em down. That's what they do. We did get to see a little glimpse, possibly, of how the annoying questions can get under Obama's skin. He had little patience for Ed...

Star Trek, The Concept, was Wagon Train to the Stars. :D On the show, and in the concept, yeah, there's a one-world government, and if looked at in today's context, that's not a good thing. But in the 23rd century all the separate countries of today have evolved into a single planet with far...

About a year ago I happen upon her when she was doing a book signing at a Barnes and Noble. I didn't know she was there, so I was a little surprised to see her. We talked, she was very nice. I'd like to do stuff to her with EVOO. Maybe some basil, too.

No, you're thinking of Star Fleet, the dominant military component of the United Federation of Planets. Star Fleet is a very narrow segment of life in the universe, and a very small part of Star Trek. But even at that, their primary function is one of exploration and self defense. Most of the...

You don't think that's funny? It's hilarious. The fact that it's actually true makes it even funnier. AA meetings at a lounge. Overeaters Anonymous meetings at a buffet restaurant. Gamblers Anonymous meetings at the casino. Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings in a trailer park. Funny stuff, man.

I wanna do things to Rachel Ray with EVOO.

Warp Speed is the epitome of expediting. What will kill the "local" transportation industry (local being Terrestrial) will be Transporter Technology, where you can beam whatever you want to anyplace on the planet in mere seconds. Add to that the Replicators that are matter re-arrangers that will...

Oh, well, here's how it will go. On April 5th, 2063 Zefram Cochran will use a fusion reactor on board a spacecraft to heat plasma, and by sending this plasma through warp coils, he will create a "warp bubble" which will be used to move the spacecraft into subspace, and hence, exceed the speed of...

I can't seem to locate the article at the source you referenced. I found one article dealing with container freight, but it uses different numbers and different time frames. I also found one about air cargo being down more than 23% in January, which in and of itself can usually be an interesting...

Take the tests, answer honestly Internet Addiction Test (IAT) Blogthings - Are You Addicted to the Internet? Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) was first proposed by a doctor as a satirical hoax, using pathological gambling as the comparative diagnostic model. But since then, people have...

Ever seen Star Trek? It's gonna happen. :)

Part of the problem here is we don't know what the tribute to Kissinger was the day before the remarks, what promted the remarks, or what role Kissinger actually plays in the NSC. The other problem is when Kissinger utters the phrase, "new world order" he does not utter it with the same "OMG...

Actually, it was from the Wall Street Journal, March 19th, 2009.

He'll be back. He got a little tooooo into things, realized it, and took a step back. Happens to all of us.

You really need to learn the difference between a Private Message and a Public Forum. Trust me, no one here ever speaks for ATeam, they speak for themselves. Me included. But you semi-skillfully avoided the non-rhetorical question. I'll ask it again, rephrased to make sure you understand it...

The bigger question is why do you think that every piece of advice that comes from Phil's keyboard seems to mean something other than exactly what was written? There was never any hint, not a clue, that "my way or the highway" was any intended part of that post. For whatever reason, you came up...

Yeah, that's TheBeemer. I don't need to post my picture. I'm pretty recognizable. Wouldn't it be ironic if the person that gave TheBemmer that $20 so long ago was....

Turtle Wax, of course. :D
