Need more data. Is the future like Planet of the Apes future, RoboCop future, MadMax future or Looper future?

Good question - you'll have to ask Showroom Dummy.  I assumed more of an Eloi future.  But if we're going for "the most likely future," I'm guessing 1984.  Not much of a leap.

Frankly I'd rather find a nice Class M planet and start from scratch, than leap ahead to any of the probable nightmare futures here.

This thread bites. Don't you all have a queen or something to keep up numbers? Well whomever your queen is we are taking her crown. We'll melt it into something useful. All threadsters you are free to post wherever and whenever you want now. Now go forth and post!

Yes, Socialists aren't supposed to have a queen anyways. Firing up the smelter as we speak.

I don't want to waste a pick on my differential calculus book if I don't need it.

[TigerLily]

New one tomorrow and probably some open lines, aka me screwing around on a stream, too.

Are you talking X-Files? Correct answer = no

[(Sandman) Logan-5]

The thread keeps freezing. I think Darth Sandra has fired up her torsion powers against my traitorous ways

Let this be a lesson!

Has anyone ever truly understood Jim Morrison?

I'm calling in to talk about Olympic curling. Add hours.

[TigerLily]

A Vishnu what? That caught my attention

That's a show in itself.

That's the upside to leaping to a new planet altogether:  you can decide whether you want a future with differential calculus or not.

[TigerLily]

It's alright GS:  it's not cheating if it's sharing ;

Whatta guy <3

[SciFiAuthor]

That's a show in itself.

Yeah, that shit's good for 7 hours at least.

Is that a soccer match?

Shhh..Revolution code 

[TigerLily]

I didn't say you had to move. I am trying to embrace the concept of sharing the wealth.

Oh I invite everyone to post here. But I am not really in the mood to post tonight which is why the thread blows. It's all based on my moods, which are quite extreme!

Where is the vodka and sleeping pills?

[PrairieGhost]

So what have I missed?

[GravitySucks]

1977. St. Moritz.

Duly chastised

ello ello..as for what you missed..just the normal motley crew of ...things

[Sandra Kristen]

Duly chastised

I am forgiving and kind to my sister princess

Nah that was easy - the Kama Sutra: a civilization has to be built on the proper foundation.

now if  its planet of the apes future  you basically screwed?

Oh I dunno - a good book on bioweapons could pull your chestnuts out of the fire in that scenario ;

logans run  depends on your age when you arrive

"How to Look and Feel Young" would be a best-seller in that case =)

[SciFiAuthor]

Not much, PG, we're just talking amongst ourselves because the show is blah.

[TigerLily]

Tell Chronaut to turn off his animated avatar.

I like the Darth Sandra conspiracy theory better

Where is this guy going from fishing on a boulder with bamboo stick then learning a glacier dropped it there fast foreword to a rock concert in (of coarse) the "summer 69" seeing more boulders that then something clicks in his head that some river valley flooded ....where are we going, I'm so lost....and now hoagie is talking about a hyper-dimensional flood...I can't be the only one wondering what going on...they both get and are feeding off one another so I'll go with it
