The "Buy Land on the Moon" thread.

Let's review it in a "Reader's Digest" form:

massive snip

"WHITE MAN STEAL INDIAN MOON!"

And I think that's about where it stands at the moment...

I think I recognize some bits of that.

You have far too much time on your hands. ;-)

Of course it's not true. Neil Armstrong handed over beads in
fair trade - just too bad that the Moon Indians hadn't predicted
the massive collapse of the bead market after first contact was
made. This led to the complete collapse of their economy in
short order, and thus the need for the 'apollo' missions to
continue their scientific and exploratory cover story soon ceased.

Now of course the Chinese are seeking to monopolise the cheap
Moon labour market - you didn't really think there were enough
Chinese for _all_ that 'made in China' stuff did you?

Pat has neatly condensed the thread into the equivalent of a styrofoam
dodecahedron. I think I'll refrain from ****ing onto it any further in an
effort to rehydrate the Red Shirts (15% of whom were probably gay to begin
with . . . ;-)

It looks like you read each and every post in that sucker.

Sorry, just had a Smothers Brothers moment.

It is an unarguable fact that there are now more Native Americans in
Columbus, Ohio than when Columbus arrived in the U.S.

I'll second that nomination, in my capacity (diminished though it may
