Man, I do not know what to follow up that comment with.

 

I'm watching The Running Man.  That movie takes place in 2017.  How many months have we got left before that becomes our reality?

Not until the collapse of the economic system forcing the set up of the american dictatorship.  Probably at least six months. (No empire lasts forever).

[Chptrk 86]

5823.

Yea, but as long as I end up the dictator then we'll be okay.

As Minister of State Security Secretary of the Department of Justice, I promise to eliminate all internal and external threats, both real and imagined, because we know that they're ALL plotting against us!

It's fun when things written to be in the future end up in the past, innit?

The original Duke Nukem (released in 1991) was supposed to be set in 1999. Duke Nukem 3D (released in 1996) takes place in December of 2007 according to the calendars on the wall that appear in various places in the game. Obviously by this point we can dismiss all this as an alternate universe timeline. 

I'd say the same of The Terminator, but they've hidden retconning under time travel enough times that it's totally plausible all that happened in our world and we just don't know about any of it because the time travel fixed it out of existence.

Everything is happening everywhere all of the time.  I totally buy into alternate realities and infinite space being home to infinite possibilities.  I probably read too many comic books...

Spoilers are great for keeping race cars on the ground.

[Larks2242 251]

5831.

They also ruin movies.

[Chptrk 86]

5832.

Speaking of movies, I saw Logan yesterday. It was really fantastic!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5833

 

I want to see Logan eventually.  I'll wait for the DVD.

[Larks2242 251]

5834.

You already saw Logan.

Man things have gotten quiet in here.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5836

 

Not for lack of trying.  I guess I probably could have broken the 2 post rule but it just seems especially wrong in this thread no matter how much time goes by.

[raynev1 1,886]

      Boy , it sure has been quiet here . I guess spring is in the air and people are outside doing stuff . My grandson and I have been out and about . Scouting for places to go metal detecting and treasure hunting . Wish us luck , the best thing I have found this year was a lead elephant and a cache of marbles . 

[Larks2242 251]

5838.

My grandfather met the person who invented the metal detector, Fun fact the minesweeper predates the metal one and it was not available to public until many years after the Navy had been using it to find artifacts.

I should have gone into geology.  I'd have made a good geologist.

[raynev1 1,886]

5840

Geology rocks . 

[Chptrk 86]

5841.

They're not rocks, they're minerals!

[metarvo 710]

5843

So that's why I'm seeing so much rain lately.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5844

 

I should take up tai chi.

[Larks2242 251]

5845.

I use to see people doing that in the park in the early mornings in Hong Kong, Didn't know what quite to think of it.

[philforhockey51 4,211]

5846

you didn't think of a really bad mime?

 

 

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

5847

 

It's not as popular in Japan.  I used to see old people doing croquet on Sunday Mornings.

[Larks2242 251]

5848.

 

After having to wait a week previously, I now get two posts in a 24 hr period.

[raynev1 1,886]

5849

We're getting up into the 60s tomorrow!  So we're going to Pictured Rocks to play in the sand and visit waterfalls.
