I think I have a vague memory of the rubber-band men from this episode. You’d think Lynda would have stood out more in my mind, but after all I got to see her each week.

I straight up think Lynda Carter was sexier in this than she was in the Wonder Woman outfit.

@BuffaloByGodDan We’ve got them in Blount County, again. Just in the mountains. I don’t know if I’ve spotted one yet, but I have trouble telling some of the magnolias apart.

@DrChrisCombs "...predict target movement." Uh-huh.

[Tim Hamilton @TSHamiltonAstro]

Now I'll have to look for these.

Checking a reference in Book III of ‘Paradise Lost’ and stumbled across the lovely STARS acrostic as Satan surveys the universe (one of several such acrostics in Milton’s poem):

@yuanyi_z Sadly, only available for Windows. I really miss this sort of naval strategy game.

@CharlemagneWest It was going well, up until the end...

@Boydesian I would have done a spit-take if I'd had anything to drink.

@avidfilm It got me interested in automatons, too. There are whole books on the mathematics of how to design them.

@WKCosmo Good job by Mr. Dao.

@JennMGreenberg As kids, I remember hearing a rumor that the author of the Nancy Drew books was the same as the author for the Hardy boys. I read both of them. I didn’t find out that they were both pseudonyms until well into adulthood, I think.

@sociologyWV Excellent. I especially like the slashed eye of the middle one.

@historybythpint We just finished off a bottle of Amontillado, as a matter of fact. It’s a bit dry for our tastes, but it worked well as a base for a cocktail with a little Drambuie.

@dangitdale66 I’m sure that’s why they broke the head off the statue of Marianne.

Best movie about writer’s block and a take-off of Hitchcock.

Finally starting to write up some short stories, light satire of academia, that I've had running around in my head the past couple or three years.

@uppityhobbit Seems about in line with normal Libertarian Party candidates, I’m afraid.

@dannydenfisch Thanks, Dan! It's my first foray into fiction writing in decades. I think I can maybe sustain a story just long enough to make a short story.
