How many aliens did they have to fight off? Since they went to the Outer Limits.

When I first saw this, I assumed that the Saturn V image was less than full size (363ft) because I had no idea that the Washington Monument is 555ft high.

It wasn't just a static image. They made a movie showing the different stages dropping away.

I considered going, but it's been too damn hot, and I don't like going to crowded events downtown unless there is a really compelling reason.

Mother Abigail was born in Sri Lanka and belonged to the ethnos of burghers. Abigail was educated in France. She began her career with show business in her native country. In 1968, Abigail emigrated to Perth in Australia. Here in 1971 she studied civil engineering and at the same time was engaged in theatrical art, played comedic roles. Then moved to Sydney. In the mid-70s, Abigail became the sex symbol of Australia when she began acting in the series “Room 96” naked.

misik, according to wikipedia, Abigail Rogan was born July 23, and today is July 29th.

Close enough that I won't ban you for putting a link to what I presume was one of her porn movies in the post.

But you're very close to getting banned. Three posts and one link to porn. Not good. We are extra cautious with new users, but your other posts were on target, so I think you might be a real person.

So I had a cup of coffee, and slowly figured out what you misisk was up to. Copying posts from other members and passing them off as their own. And then that pron link. And to top it off, I kept misspelling misisk's handle when trying to look them up to ban them, I thought somebody else all ready banned them, but they were still there.

I need more coffee.

BigV · 07-29-2019, 10:40 AM

Coffee's good. I approve and recommend!

1848 – Vermont railroad worker Phineas Gage survives an iron rod 1 1⁄4 inches (3.2 cm) in diameter being driven through his brain; the reported effects on his behavior and personality stimulate discussion of the nature of the brain and its functions.

Groucho, I have always loved the quote.

Gravdigr · 10-02-2019, 01:38 PM

The only Groucho thing I remember:

Paraphrasing:

Quote:

Groucho, entering an office: Mr. Fragilly, I'm looking for Mr. Fragilly. I have a package for a Mr. Fragilly.

A man looks at the package and sees the word "Fragile" on it, and says: You imbecile, that says fragile.

Groucho says: Oh. I thank you. Mr. Fragile, Mr. Fragile, I have a package for a Mr Fragile.
