Those old PAO films prior to the 70's were probably the only things
the NASA PAO produced that were actually worth a ****. Too bad they
got "70-tized", because it stripped a *lot* of the patriotism out of
the Apollo films that should have been there and in the face of all
the hippies...

Let's just say that those medical sensors on my back may be shorting out
about the time I think about those two questions.

Let me guess...your favorite South Park character is Cartman, isn't it? ;-)

To some people, I bet even Cartman is a tree-hugging hippie :-)

....What most people don't realize is that Matt & Trey based that
episode on an "Outer Limits" episode called "Sandkings", which was
itself based on George RR Martin's short story by the same name, and
also graphically and beautifully adapted by Pat Broderick for a DC
Graphic Novel in the 80's. I'd heard some time back that Maxis was
actually considering a sim version of Sandkings that was essentially
SimAnt with the option of using your own photographs to influence the
temple and statuebuilding, but apparently a deal couldn't be reached
with Martin.

....Actually, I like the whole cast, with no real favorites per se. If
I had to pick one, it would probably be Chef. Chef reminds me a lot of
someone who worked for my Pop that had a lot of influence on my
upbringing, which is why he stands out quite a bit when I think about
the show.

You know, now that you mention it, I think I saw that episode.

I had Sea Monkeys. I left them in the tank one night and forgot to feed
them.
Next morning there was one really big Sea Monkey left in the tank.

....In what way? This was a guy who treated me as if I were his own
son, and took me at age 9 on not one but *five* different occasions to
see All-Star Wrestling down at City Colosseum, where I got to see the
likes of Johnny Valentine, Wah-Hoo McDaniel, Bronco Luvitch, Toro
Tanaka and Ivan Putski beat the **** out of each other live in person,
back in the days when rasslin' wasn't taken over by poofters and
phonies like Hulk Hogan and Rick Flair and their ilk.

[Shakes head in dismay *and* confusion]

You, a South Park fan, missed one of Chef's favorite lines?
I think that's his reply when the gang tells him that they may have had
a part in the death of Ms. Choksondiks because she was found with semen
in her stomach, and Cartman had put their Sea Men in the teacher's
coffee pot. :-D
