Sweet! I fucking love watermelon!

I'm quite content to let the average simpleton stay on Fæcebook. G+ is great, and one of the best things about it (out of so many) is that it isn't a giant 'tardfest.

lol.

Choose your own adventure!

Welp. Guess it's time to shave the junk.

Well, if you're in any of the higher-ranking countries (and there are many), probably carry on raising our educational standards along with everything else. Don't worry, though, someday you may catch up (just kidding; you won't).

I believe the word you're scrabbling for is "Cue".

I laughed ridiculously hard at this. +1

That word...

For some reason, the term 'social leakage' just makes me feel dirty.

In honour of the old days, as well as your perspicacity, a heart for you. Cheers.

Early sea explorers needed to deal with hunger as best they could, and islands were a source of nourishment and water. In space, we are an island. The SETI broadcasting project was the…

And as representative of a ridiculously advanced race as far as humans are concerned, I just see you as a self-advertising food source. Thanks for coming out. Really. You have made our protein needs so much easier to fulfill.

I want so much to do this. But while on acid, and without 30 other people. The involvement of 30 other people in such an enclosed space would be the makings of a bad one, I'm sure. However, someone in DARPA must want to study my presumed euphoric reactions, so where do I sign up? :-)

Thank you for this, Esther. Very cool story indeed.

Før yøu, and well døne.

Your quaint and foreign vowels are quite adequately rendered in English through the phoneme system, but thanks for coming out. http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/activities/phonemic-chart
