The shot of it on the web site reminded me of the ear parasites from Star Trek II.

Those are revisited in the most recent Trek film, except they put them down their throats instead of in their ears. Looks like the same creature to me, though.

We showed The Wrath of Khan (ST2) to the girls last week. They got fired up about seeing all of them... then last night we watched ST1, that put out the fire.

Now we can choose better.
 We got them a copy of the new movie which was everything 1 wasn't. 1 does a tour around the ship that goes on forever while the new one takes a quick peek mid action. Much better played.

Hahahahaa...we get students coming in saying they saw an ad that Obama will give moms money to go to school.
It's nothing different, just the regular FA stuff. Well, I guess if it gets people into school...

double dare -tripple dare -whatever
!?
http://sendmesomething.org/ What will you send me? It’s a surprise. But just so you know, it will probably not be something of great monetary value (like a set of buffalo nickels), or something overtly grotesque (like cat vomit). Can I send a self-addressed stamped box? Yes. You can send any size of envelope or box, as long as it self-addressed and stamped. We will fill it with as many items as we can, given the postage. If you send a big box with a lot of postage, it may take us longer to fill, and therefore, longer for you to receive it. Please be patient. How long will it take to receive my self-addressed stamped envelope? It’s hard to say. Our goal is to have it back to you within 2-3 weeks. But if we get overloaded, it may take longer. Will you send me something outside of the U.S.? We’d love to! Just make sure you put enough postage on it. Can I request to be sent something specific? Well…generally, speaking, no. However, if you ask really, really, really nicely, and the request is for something in a category we are plentiful in, then maybe. How are you funding this? This is a totally self-funded endeavor. We are not receiving sponsorship of any kind. The items we send are not of great monetary value, and you are paying the postage, so it’s a fairly free/cheap project. Can I send you something? Yes, you may. As long as it is not overtly gross (like slime mold) or sent for advertising purposes. What’s the catch? There is none. You just send us a self-addressed stamped envelope, and we send it back to you with something inside. Please note that we will not share your address with anyone, for any reason, or any price. |
