“For the life of me, and I’ll never know how to explain it, when I met that young man, I felt like I was the one shaking hands with the president,” then President Ronald W. Reagan said, after meeting future President Donald J. Trump. “A chill ran down my spine,” the former president continued, “After all, people voted me into the highest office in the land for hosting Death Valley Days. Even with my Alzheimer's, I could easily imagine what all of those dumb-asses would do if a reality TV star ran for the Presidency of the United States.”

I've already heard more than enough. Do you really want to listen to it for the rest of your natural life?

You mean, over and over?

Exactly.

Buddy Holly was the musical equivalent of store brand diapers.

Nobel laureate Bob Dylan is A Living God. And, I'm here today to testify that I have witnessed, with mine own eyes, the worshipers gathered in reverent silence on The Holy Ground where Jim Morrison is buried, his discarded body thus further sanctifying that already sacred place.

But, to denigrate the memory of Buddy Holly is not only blasphemy, it is heresy!

May The True Gods of Rock 'N' Roll™, both living and ascended, curse you to listen to The Bay City Rollers, Gary Puckett & the Union Gap, and Tommy James and the Shondells for the rest of your natural life!

Dude, Crimson & Clover rocks

Buddy Holly. A guy wrote a song about it.

Buddy Holly was okay, but he wasn't in the same league as the holy trinity of Lemmy, Bowie, and Freddie.

Buddy Holly was just okay?! Blasphemy! Blasphemy I say!

The battle-weary officers of the Border Patrol wavered, as the vast, alien hordes broke through their weakened, defensive perimeter. Undeterred in the face of near certain death, a lone cadet, ignoring excruciating pain radiating from his bone spur afflicted feet, limped bravely to the forefront. And it was while rallying his completely non-xenophobic band of brothers forward to close the breach, that he uttered those unforgettable words, “Remember Bowling Green!”

The Latest Science News in the War on Cow Farts

Study shows potential for reduced methane from cows

As per the article:

“An international team of scientists has shown it is possible to breed cattle to reduce their methane emissions.

Published in the journal Science Advances, the researchers showed that the genetics of an individual cow strongly influenced the make-up of the microorganisms in its rumen (the first stomach in the digestive system of ruminant animals which include cattle and sheep).”

Here's the link: https://phys.org/news/2019-07-potential-methane-cows.html

Out of all the things adversely effecting Climate Change these days, cow farts is way, way down on my list of concerns. But, I guess every little bit helps. I guess …

Glittering bayonets fixed, the Royal Marines charged the Security Scanner Post at Baltimore/Washington International Airport. The patriotic, red-blooded American, citizen soldiers of the Continental Army held their ground, and turned away wave after wave of the imperialist invaders, until the “lobster backs,” with heavy losses, gave up and slunk away to their wooden ships.  And, to this day, the Stars and Stripes flies proudly above Fort McHenry, except on nights went the illumination lights go out due to infrastructure problems with the power grid.

What To Do in the Event of an Alien Call?

As per the article:

“In the age of fake news, researchers worry conspiracy theories would abound before we could figure out how — or if — to reply to an alien message.

The answer to this question could affect all of our lives more than nearly any other policy decision out there: How, if it all, should humanity respond if we get a message from an alien civilization?

And yet politicians and scientists have never bothered to get our input on it.
 
At long last, that’s changing. A group of researchers in the UK this week released the first major survey on the question. The responses could help inform an international protocol for responding to first contact.”

I'm all for hiding behind the curtains, not answering the door, and waiting for them to go away.

Please Note:

Alien contact was discussed, earlier this year, in “The aliens haven't contacted us because” thread, as per this link: https://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php/topic,38575.0.html. I started a new thread because now we're getting Officially Sciencey about it.

Cain,

What is your take on this Daily Mail article? Is it legitimate?

“Britain's man in the the US says Trump is 'inept': Leaked secret cables from ambassador say the President is 'uniquely dysfunctional and his career could end in disgrace'”

Here's the link: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7220335/Britains-man-says-Trump-inept-Cables-ambassador-say-dysfunctional.html?ito=amp_twitter_share-top

Thanks.
