With progs, it’s sometimes hard to tell ~ story ~Whaddaya mean “we,” paleface? Then again, I don’t ever remember her actually sayin’ anything that could be classified as, you know… comedy. (What? No, comedy, satire, and jackassery are different but not mutually exclusive.)
Phase-II (watch vid full-screen) Phase-III: Gold, platinum, uranium… (What? Well, it’s harder than with underpants, but the process is clearer, and the return is higher.) Yeah, this is kind of a big deal for astrophysicsists, astronomyists, cosmicticians, and us season-ticket-holding fans.

Yeah, wonder how hard it’ll be to topple.) __________ Cultural ref-1 (as if anyone needed it) Cultural ref-2 (for those who’ve never been to a drive-in) Title cultural ref (for those who actually had a life last week) I was remiss in not pointing [...]
