I checked with an English major and they told me that “if” is perfectly cromulent.

As has been mentioned previously, the same network censors who would have lost their minds if Kirk kissed Uhura [much less Sulu] were fine with a white guy necking with a green hottie.

Thanks. They have another one along the same lines.

I remember seeing a Tarzan satire where the hero finds a lost city in the middle of the jungle.

All the men look like apes and all the women are beautiful.

The heroes ask each other how this could be.

There’s a note at the bottom of the panel, 'It’s because it’s easier to draw monkeys than people, but more fun to draw beautiful women

A lot of cartoonists have pointed out that most alien races are drawn with the males looking completely alien, and the females looking like hot human women with some makeup.

Old joke.

The Mafia gets ripped off by a professional thief. When they catch him they realize he only speaks French. They find a French speaking hooker and tell her to translate.

The thief says “You got me. The diamonds are in the hotel safe under the name ‘Charles DeGaulle’ You can have the jewels and my family will pay them a $5million ransom if they let me go.”

The hooker tells the Mafia, “He says you’re bunch of monkeys and he’ll never say where the diamonds are.”

Realistically, we have the technology to have universal translators on the shelves by next Christmas.

Well, that was a dive down a rabbithole.

Thanks for the explanation.

I thought it was some kind of computer code or a type of puzzle.

Explain, please.

It’s funny that in the classic Libertarian novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” the rule free society only works because there are no guns and literally everything is controlled by a single giant computer.

Objectivism creator Ayn Rand ended up on welfare after she lacked the will power to give up smoking.

Need I say more?

The new serfdom.

The company will provide you with food and shelter and you do what you’re told to do.

The ‘talented tenth,’ people who are clever enough to be useful, will be raised above their cohorts, but in most cases no one who isn’t already part of the ruling classes will be able to ascend.

Yes. If a 14 year old gets pregnant it’s because she was weak willed; if a 50 year old man gets caught with a 14 year old girl it’s because she seduced him.

“Hands across the water.”

Fun little time travel novel.

“Door Into Summer” by Robert A. Heinlein. The narrator talks about his cat. In winter, the beast will run from door to window to door. The owner opens the portals, but it’s never the door into summer.

And yes, my evil companion does the same thing.

I once read a Lil Abner comic where a billionaire seeks out the creator of his favorite comic book “Corporal Krok.” The rich guy has never been able to find issue #1, and he demands that the now elderly artist reproduce it. The artist tells him that he’ll need five dozen burlesque queens as models. The billionaire is suspicious, but the artist points out that he’s never seen the comic.

Try reading the first few pages of each book.

What one person finds fascinating bores another to tears.

Probably take much less time than doing any other kind of search.

Funny how the mind works. I remembered the concept, but had no idea Lohan was involved.

That’s a good answer.

Reminded me of this movie.

Never saw it myself, just remembered the concept and searched

Super good luck ala Domino of the X-Men.

Velcro has entered the chat…

So, with luck, by 2035 they’ll be back to where they were in 1973?
