Pervasive? I'll assume a linguistic anomaly between Earth and the 8th dimension, and assume you meant "persuasive" and let that one go, Lord Whorfin.

Yeah, but they got her thighs right. Seriously, Michelle has very hot hip and thigh musculature. That's a reason she makes her fashion look so good: she gives it all a true feminine shape. Designers must love her.

Truthfully, thoughtfully and artfully answered, Matt. Well done; you're a big reason I visit pert' near every day.

Aww, c'mon. This is completely, thoroughly, utterly, and in all other ways COOL.

I'm there with you. But everything about Kat is big...to which "things," specifically, are you referring? Her bodacious eyes? Bodacious lips? Bodacious ta-ta's? Bodacious legs? Bodacious talent?

The best part is the Starfleet logo. Most appropriate.

My wife and I have hosted a cat or cats for over 30 years, and the function of purring has always intrigued me. Certainly, based on what stimulates purring, it is a response to pleasurable sensation, either physical or emotional. Cats purr when being massaged, while eating, or simply resting in my lap.

Terrific post, Esther...thank you.

As shall you, Sir.

That does sound like a fun job. Just stay the hell away from that dragon's tail...

I'm not convinced Paul wins this round, Kaiser. Kant himself contributed much to the schools of paradigmatic thought and the development of cognitive behavior, neither of which were in overwhelming evidence in the Chicago hospital's decision, as I see it. An alternative reaction might have been to roundly welcome and…

See it, you'd like it. The film captured the "era" nicely. Paul Newman gives a really one-dimensional performance, but there's still a lot to like. By the way, the blue glow was reported by eyewitnesses.

Tragic it was. His decline and death, as experienced by Laura Dern, was heartbreaking.

Indeed it is. Dramatized in the film "Fat Man and Little Boy."

"Is it wrong? To wish the chewing of lion-kill looters?"

Agreed, CJ. Some performances can't be replicated.

I'm happy to see the classic AR-7 posted, but the fact is, the AR-7 Explorer has been around for decades, and the collapsibility is neither new or improved. I have the Charter Arms Explorer from 1980. I also have a more recent (2007) Henry, who acquired the tooling from Charter and made a few minor mods, but it's…

Spent many happy hours with R&T over the years. And none happier than with Peter Egan's unfailingly insightful, adroit and pithy "you are there" musings. Sitting down to read Egan is like enjoying your favorite scotch in front of the fireplace you've built into your garage, with a cooling Lotus Elite I4 ticking in the…

That, or in Beaverlick, Kentucky.

I would love to live life from the point of view of the people who believe this crap.
