What reminds you of Futurama: Part Deux

[Reply #440 on:]

Hey, jerkberg,(I feel like I'm calling you some kind of derogatory expression!), I still drink coffee and caffeine drinks not to those abusive levels- no more than 2 mugs of coffee in a 24 hour period.  Two mugs are about 24 ounces of coffee(or Three 8 ounce cups of coffee).  And no more than 4 Vanilla Cokes.  That's still abuse to me and keeps me up for a day and a half to two days when I drink that much.  So I try to not abuse my caffeine rations too often!!     
 
I'm going to go rewatch the Raging Bender episode to see if I agree with you about it reminding you of PEEL.

[Reply #441 on:]

The episode itself had nothing to do with PEEL. It's the fact that "Raging Bender" has been the "classic episode" for as long as anyone can remember.

[Reply #442 on:]

Yeah, I'm going to watch the Raging Bender episode anyhow---For, for homework as a noob in the PEEL organization, yeah, that's the story I'm sticking to for now- till you start torturing me then, maybe, I'll give you my REAL reason for watching the Raging Bender episode;  that's only if torture is involved.

I'll get the pliars and the car battery warmed up just in case.

[Reply #444 on:]

Ahhhhhhhh... er....ahhhh... I got somewhere to be... I'll figure out where ah, later... I'll take a rain check on that pliers and battery.. er... ah... thanks anyways!! HEE, hee.    I think this reminds me of an old Futurama episode.  I'll have to watch the oldies to name the exact one!!  You see how I brought it around to the subject of the thread- ain't I amasin'!!  Don't answer that!!      I'm afraid the pliers and car battery will come back out!!

Cringing in the corner with my hands over my head...nightmares of batteries, batteries,batteries...and pliers!!

Well my work here is done.

Good news, everyone!

[Reply #449 on:]

I know that smell that Don Pettit speaks of, too!!  I took arc welding in High School, tenth grade.  Boy, I had a whole whoosh of memories flood back on me just conjuring up that smell from my memory banks!!  Who needs Smell-O-Vision, just jump into an airlock and take a space walk- then scratch and sniff your clothes for that wonderful odor!! 

Maybe the arc welding smell is the smell of the oxygen missing from a space.      

[Reply #450 on:]

... Who needs Smell-O-Vision...

[*Toing*]
I wonder if this phenomenon has any bearing on using the smell-o-scope, or its operation (IE. 'under the hood')?

Maybe the arc welding smell is the smell of the oxygen missing from a space.

Umm...

• Oxygen is odorless, therefore its presence or absence is too.
• Vacuum (IE, space) is the absence of matter.
• Just as without matter present to support those vibrations (longitudinal waves) our bodies perceive as sound, vacuum cannot suspend particles, molecules, whatever that our bodies perceive as smells.
  
  Therefore:
  
  
• The aroma Mr. Pettit describes must be something the environment of space deposits on the suits, helmets, etc., that, when diffused by air, our bodies sense as a particular aroma.

I'm anything but an expert in welding, but I understand the by-products of arc welding include metal fumes, oxides, ozone, and so on - many of which might be present in near-Earth space, and combinations of which could produce the aforementioned aroma.

[*Crickets chirp*]  

Ahm... [*SpaceCase clears throat*] ... yeah...
If anyone cares, I'll be under my rock...

[Reply #451 on:]

 

Maybe the space deposits burn off in the presence of introduced oxygen.  Thanks, that makes more sense, Spacecase!!

You are smart, SpaceCase.  Never apologize for being smart.

While you're there, could you say hello to Venus for me?

[Reply #453 on:]

There was a sale on velour track suits in a shop today...

[Reply #454 on:]

Has anybody seen the rock Spacecase is under??  If you wash off the dust, I think it's the biggest Diamond in the UNIVERSE!!  Even bigger than the one the Native Martian Bug people flew away with after kidnapping Amy!! 
Huh? Huh? It pays to crawl under a rock now and again!!

Erh? 
That question is evidently based on the incorrect assumption that Venus is currently under the same rock as I.

The Harlem Globetrotters are coming to my town. I should make a uniform and try to join the team.

[Reply #457 on:]

But are you truly funky enough to be a Globetrotter?

Failing that, are you funky enough to organize the 'Trotters bake sale?

This is just to say I've met the guy now.  In fact, right now he and my friend N are over watching "Godfellas" with me.  And, he's surprisingly nice, and also a Futurama fan.

I love cool coincidences.

The music for the Knight Rider remake was composed by one Christopher Tyng.

[Reply #462 on:]

Did it mention the evil windshield wipers?

[Reply #463 on:]

The sad truth is I am not even funky enough to buy cookies at a Globetrotters bake sale.

Winter roads beget crashes.  Crashes beget debris.  Debris begets garbage.  Garbage begets trash picking nerds who raise large objects over their heads and roar like a Tusken Raider.



A passing car easily startled me, but I considered returning and in greater numbers.

[Reply #467 on:]

Cool garbage, DrThunder88!!  Did you hear the future saying, "good news everybody, my existence has been recognized in the far, distant past!!  Shall we deliver'em  a thank- you note using non-paradox time travel?!!"   

[Reply #468 on:]

Fifty points to Dr.T for the Sand People reference. Very nice!

I know there's two reasons why it remind me of Futurama, but I'll let you see why.

Xanfor: Holy creepy!
Nye: My friend showed that to me. Funny stuff.

Boy, I wish my audio worked.

I assume the sound in Xanfor's link is the Nixon "become bitter and crazy" speech from 2x03?

Xanfor that is amazing! 500 points! The scary thing is I wouldn't be surprised to hear that.

Look at #80.

Plus, since Nixon's popping up a lot on this page, that commercial for Lost Odyssey (I think that's the name) has that song that he "sang" in A Head in the Polls.

[Reply #477 on:]

That song is also the background music for the main menu in Battlefield Vietnam. Wow, never thought I'd segway Futurama to that.

[Reply #478 on:]

I just hope a car hits the street sign in front of my old high school, and I find the mangled metal in the trash.

Oh, the school is on Bender Avenue.

Ozzy Osbourne was exiled from  Texas for quite some years for peeing on the Alamo when he was drunk and high in his youger life, JBERGES!!  The state just, recently, welcomed him with open arms to perform his conerts in Texas once again.  He wasn't trying to make a political statement like the British guy in RIGA, Latvia was doing; he was just "under the influence" and needed to pee!!
