I rekon if I were about 20 years younger,all family ties gone,nobody that would miss me if I were gone and if I were given a pardon for anything between now and the time I leave as far as debt was concerned i'd go. BUT, like previously stated, NO PIZZA NO BEER NO GO ;D. Also, could you imagin the IRS trying to collect on you and you no longer live on the planet? Every 2 years there would be someone bringing you hate mail from those jerks ;D ;D


Mike.....Guess I'll watch it on TV with a steady supply of BEER AND PIZZA ;D

Yeah, now that you mention it, a couple of specific ex-bosses and a few specific ex-co workers would make prime candidates, esp since they know each other.  Let 'em get on each other's nerves instead of mine for a change.

When I was younger I heard Gerard K. O'Neill's plans for moon colonization.

There is a competition coming up where 22 ballet dancers kick a dead inflated pig around a field..........
The question is, should we send them or go myself ;D

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Anyone wanna go to Mars?

Now why would any sane person want to do that? Marooned with a few other nutters in a hostile environment for ever. I can't think of anything worse. :o

I like it right where I am on good old planet Earth thanks very much. :)

I despair at all the discussions of we Human Beings visiting other Planets and Galaxies, and populating them...

...my "Common Sense Brain" comes into play then!... ;).... ;D...!

Paul...its lovely here..on Planet Earth!.. :-*...!

Domino's has locations everywhere else.  If they won't set up a franchise for you on Mars you can at least hope for delivery...maybe Marvin Martian could be the deliveryman. :D :D ;D ;D

and increasing their numbers daily. Whether we ship them or they ship us, there's some respite for a short while (sort of like the original Australian colony). To mildly state, overpopulation has its setbacks.
