When you hear "Odyssey Dawn," what do you think of?
« on: March 26, 2011, 08:15:15 AM »
That's the title of a poll over at Fox News' site right now.  I answered "What Gwyneth Paltrow would name her next kid," or something like that.  My wife said, "The Death Star is now operational!"  (No, that's not one of the choices.)

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

She sounds like a keeper. :-)

I'm reminded of a mediocre flash-in-the-pan one hit wonder from the 80's 90's of the de la Soul type.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

She wants me to give you an H5 for that.  Done.

Name of a female porn star.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

It is when you wake up on Christmas Day in the last 1970s/early 1980s and your mom has gotten you an Odyssey2 instead of the much more popular Atari 2600 because "it's educational."  It could also be what Ceres experienced when Odysseus visited her island.
“A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time”

:rofl:  I feel your pain.  I wanted a Commodore 64 or an Apple II and I got a Tandy 1000EX (a PC Jr. clone... the EX model was different from the full-sized and more expensive 1000).

A circa 1986 sci-fi 'straight-to-video' film starring a bunch of D-List actors nobody has ever heard of.

The latest drug craze.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

A thousand galleys full of Greeks, on their way to Troy to cause trouble.
Go and tell the Spartans, O traveler passing by
That here, obedient to their law, we lie.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting at least twice.
