I will Fear no Evil was heterosexual in that sex was between a male body and a female body, but the female body had a male brain. And, somehow, the woman's mind, which survived the removal of her brain, so it was housed somewhere else.

Eh, I had misremembered the title as Double Star, oy gevalt.

And just what call was there to inject a complexion?? Shame on ya. How do you escape leaving the impression you've only known Heinlein's works second- or third-hand, from invidious persons lacking RAH's personal virtues, and apparently resentful of them into the bargain? He knew they existed, and had some choice words for them, too. (A couple of examples stole... a donkey's gravestone.)

Really, "competent adult with etc." would have been much more accurate. Certainly less sloppy of conception.

Farg, I bet there is a biiiig bowl of buttered popcorn in your future after your big bowl of smoke.

n.b. to whom it might concern: The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress had the Lunar population as millions of convicts and descendants of convicts -- maybe into the third or fourth generation. Polyglot. Whites only? Puh-lease.

I am going by what he wrote, not some idealized version of what he wrote.

Bacon saved as pig triggers blaze after eating pedometer

A fire marshal, who had to find the source of that fire, clearly had a dirty job.

It must have been for him to come up with that fairy tale of copper reacting with pigshit. :rolleyes:

Right!

Especially when you can clearly see the fire brigade responding and no coppers in sight!

Not sure that this adds much in the way of explanation but, FWIW, this is from the BBC report...

How did it spread to multiple sheds when each was separated by metal?

Through the straw all around them.

More likely the pedometer had a lithium battery the pig bit through sparked the blaze, but not copper.

The end of civilisation as we know it.
 

A map is thoughtfully provided at the website so shocked readers can see for themselves the location of this most terrible and heinous crime against humanity.

Might've been zombies … they've got brains for shit.

No.

Bear in mind I've read every book he wrote except his first, We The Living. I don't see too many signs in your philosophy of life that you have, Luce. Now would be a fine time to display some.

MSNBC just had an on-site reporter giving a report on the increasing New York death rate. Her name, Cori Coffin....

Nominative determinism strikes again!

I just spotted richlevy!

Good Morning Rich.

well that was a post worthy of a reappearance.

I just came to see if anyone wanted to participate in a knob-eating contest.

apparently there's also knob tossing (a sister thing apparently), although the Brits don't use that exact term, not sure why.....

:eek:

So, do knobs taste like Brussels sprouts? At all?

Well, they're brassykinda.

oof

Heroin user, pack-a-day smoker for 36 yrs, terrible diet, Hep C, 54 yrs old...

What killed him?

Nope, it was 3 weeks of licorice.

Ha ha, I'm sitting here gnawing on a piece of licorice.
It's the first piece I've had in probably 20 years.
It was in a gift box someone sent me from a place in MA.
It wasn't one of the licorice specific boxes.

black licorice matters :bolt:

Damn, who ya gotta blow to get a fitty dolla box o'candy?:eek:

She was my first girlfriend 63 years ago.
I made a lasting impression.

His poor diet consisted only of several bags of candy a day, so was that a licorice restaurant that he died in?

I wonder if it was the candy store variety like Twizzlers or the real licorice?

Real. I read the same story a few days ago in the paper, and it said he had switched recently from Twizzlers to black licorice.

California Governor Gavin Newsom's office tweets that when eating in public, the public should put their masks back in place between bites of food and presumably sips of their beverages.

This is colossally silly. Don't hold your breath for me to report having seen anyone eating this way. Democratic Governor, into the bargain.
