Too Much Time On Their Hands
Jan. 25th, 2006 05:18 amBigoted fathead pastor wants people to buy Microsoft stock and then dump it because Microsoft won't hate -- ewww! -- gays.
If shmucks like this spent half the time they do freaking out about guys kissing ('cause you know it's the "guys" part -- funny how the outrage meter drops off when it's two women) on things that actually matter... well, they'd still spend half their time freaking out. But the world would still be a better place.

Terraformable?

Okay, we've found a malleable planet -- somewhere with water, maybe a little atmosphere, gravity not too far out of bounds. The colony ship leaves in a year. You have that much time to train, and to get your earthly affairs in order... or to decide not to go. Do you go, and, if so, what three things do you take with you that you can't do without? (Assume computers and whatever software you want, including games and movies, are covered.)
For myself, I don't know that I'd go at this point. Not too old, but too many ties that I don't want severed. (On the other hand, if a certain bunch of friends were going as well, sign me the hell up.) If I had to go, I take the guitar, Da Bear, and my hardcover copy of the Call of Cthulhu rules.
