Last Call

Can't help it. I saw this headline at Yahoo News:

Study Describes Bar at Center of Milky Way

And I wondered if it was a franchise of the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

So... what's on the menu?

Heh. And my gut reaction was something to do with the candy bar...

There is a knob at the center of our galaxy. Look at it! It's very clearly there for turning, and that's obviously what started the swooshing motion of the galaxy.

So...what kind of machine are we? The washing machine at the beginning of the spin cycle?

Whew. I was so worried that I was missing tiny letters that say, "Push Down And Twist".

LOL!

But my muse has clocked out for the day. The only drink I can think of is a variant: Sex on the Beach, Under the Stars.

Y'know, like a Slow Screw Against the Wall...?

I may bein love ... with your icon. May I use it, with all due credit, of course?

[video-savant.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, please do!

What else were you to think?

My daughter went as a starhop (carhop on rollerblades) from Milliway's at the con we attended this weekend. She gave out gargle-blasters (sonic pucker) and was quite a hit. I hope someone got a picture! I can't believe I didn't!

So basically I've been teaching it wrong all these years. The Milky Way is not a spiral galaxy but a barred spiral galaxy. Chalk up another one, time to change the textbooks.

Gee, I wasn't aware that was your daughter :grin:

Those things were definietly a slice of leom wrapped around a gold brick (both versions) :)

Tom, Tom, Tom. Clearly, there is only one thing it could have been:

A Milky Way bar. (/rimshot)

Meh, you beat me to the punchline. Drat.

If there's that much chocolate, that's reason enough to invent the warp drive and head on over. So let's head off into the Special Dark and get some! Give me the chocolate and nobody gets hurt!

I can see that episode of Next Gen now.
Capt. Picard: Captain's Log, supplemental. We are en route to the Milky Way Bar in order to fulfill the Federation treaty agreement with the Tholians. They don't engulf the Earth in cotton candy and we provide them with enough candy to get their whole civilization through Halloween. Shuttles Two and Three are preparing the million piece bags in near formation, Dr. Crusher has synthesized enough insulin to treat every diabetic on Reisa, and Mr. Worf has set phasers to "fun size."

And then Troi took over the ship -- possessed by crazed spirits? No, just hungry.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Actually, by implication, cheshyre beat you both to it, at the top. :)

[selenesue.livejournal.com]

Hush, you.

Chocoholics unanimous! Or caffeine addicts anyway. Janeway did once say, "There's coffee in that nebula."

I thought there was supposed to be this huge black hole in there. Or is that inside the bar?
