Well, I kinda have this 'thing' for sexy alien cyclopses! 

[Reply #2 on:]

Dig those crazy transport tubes!

[Reply #3 on:]

Head-in-a-jars rule! I bet you could get your head chopped off and put in in a cryonically frozen jar and get unfrozen in 3000... and then be feed five thousand dollars for storage fees.

[Reply #4 on:]

All the Leelaholics mustn't have found this thread yet, I'm shocked! Only One vote for our favourite Alien Lady!

[Reply #5 on:]

Sexy alien cyclopses, in a second. Even if I am more partial to Martian college students. 

[Reply #6 on:]

Slurm of course... can't go a day without it.

[Reply #7 on:]

Transport tubes. I'd be more willing to use my transit card for these babies. No more crazy passengers and quirky bus drivers.

[Reply #8 on:]

I don't think I've seen a ship I don't like thus far

[Reply #9 on:]

I didn't read what this was about first. I thought you were gonna vote for what you thought would be real in the year 3000. So I voted transprt tubes. But I should have voted Head-in-a-jar technology or Slurm. Now that I thinkk of it the transprt tubes aren't so bad after all... hmmmmm

[Reply #10 on:]

I'm going to have to go with spaceships, as long as I owned a good one, like my van.  Call it the Thunder Ship or something.

I only just got here, no points for guessing who I voted for 

[Reply #12 on:]

Hmm transport tubes would be fun but that will not keep you warm at night. 

[Reply #13 on:]

I would LOVE To Fly a Spaceship...Watch out if it has laser *Makes Childish Laser Noises*

[Reply #14 on:]

Intergalatic Spaceships for me - I'd love to be able fly one of those things!

Sorry for being late. I would really like a PE ship, but there just is something about alien cyclopses I find irresistable. 

[Reply #16 on:]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm Slurm, so addictive.

[Reply #17 on:]

slurm all the way man.
i mean, those tubes sure rock and flying a spaceship is cool, agreed, but slurm is highly addictive. 

[Reply #18 on:]

I wouldn't mind driving a Ship-a-bago.

There's no solid evidence for that.

[Reply #20 on:]

It was a tie for me between 'sexy alien cyclopses' and 'self-microwaving bavarian cream dogs'. I chose the cream dogs. (Didn't Farnsworth call them 'electric frank-furters'?) Kleptomaniac robots are pretty cool too. 

[Reply #21 on:]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Bachelor Chow. mmmm.... now with flavour....

[Reply #22 on:]

The "Self-Microwaving Bavarian Creamdog" is in retail trade, the "Electric Frankfurter" was poo-pooed.

Hmm, career chips. Now that would be a timesaver. No more wondering what to become, just a quick scan, and BAM, you're a mortician, garbageman, scientist, what-ever.

[Reply #23 on:]

Sorry Teral, there just weren't enough slots in the poll for all the great new things available in 3000AD.    If there were, I coulda' filled 20 slots easily.

Like the dark matter engines, Brain Slugs, Popplers, Oh I'm not  going to go on. There's an endles list. There's also plenty of choice in the poll.

Edit: Besides, the Electric Frankfurter and Self-microwaving Bavarian Cream Dog are pretty much the same thing.

That's what I thought.

  I wasn't trying to promote either the creamdog or the frankfurter. I simply tried to point out that from the looks of it the two are different products. 

I have absolutely no idea, what a Bavarian Creamdog is, thus I can't judge whether it is a good thing. An electric frankfurter? I understand perfectly why it was poo-pooed. Not exactly safe food.

I'm sticking with Sexy Alien Cyclopses, with intergalactic spaceships a distant 2nd.

Transport tubes, i just hate coming home from school and you can't be bothered to walk home after the grinding day. This applies especially today as we had cross country (3 laps round LARGE school grounds) and rugby.

[Reply #27 on:]

My school had a quarter-mile square field, and we had to run all over it for cross country. What we did was all go slow, and about 100 yards from the finish, suddenly sprint. Heh. My whole class used to have the Games teachers yelling for us to put more effort in.

That's why I feel that Transport Tubes deserve recognition as a form of Civil Irony:

Imagine going to the gym, working out for a coupla' hours, and putting in a few laps at the pool because you want to lose a bit ofweight or tone yourself up, then catching a tube across the city practically to your door in order to get home when suitably worn out.

Heh. Maybe even the New New York Marathon could make use of the tubes in order to spice things up a little:

You take the tube to cut down on the time you spend running, and to increase your lead, but the only officially sanctioned route puts you about a mile away from the course, or you get jammed in the rush of others having had the same idea.

No, that's going too far. But the whole Civil Irony thing should be researched, and other examples of Civil Irony should be placed in every major world city.

Umm, ill be dead.

[Reply #29 on:]

Hmmm... Slurm seems tempting but I think I'd like sexy alien chicks even more. 

[Reply #30 on:]

Head in a jar technology! I want my future relatives to be able to berate Conan O'Brian!

"So, people are getting kinda worried about this Y2K problem, huh?"
"No! they fixed that 900 years ago!"
"Just... bear with me, sir. Anyway, I'm walking to work this morning..."
"I doubt it"
"Listen pal, I may have lost my freakishly long legs in the battle of 2012, but I still have something you'll never have... A soul!"
"eh..."
"And freckles!"
"ehia...wahhahaha"

[Reply #31 on:]

Without Starships we can`t bring sexy Alien chicks to earth    (or they can`t come here, depends on the point of view)

You may also be around to berate him too!   

[Reply #33 on:]

well der, isn't it obvious? sexy alie...  nope it's the transport tubes

[Reply #34 on:]

intergalactic spaceships.

[Reply #35 on:]

what about the Gay-Radars?

[Reply #36 on:]

Yeh, where's Gaydar?

[Reply #37 on:]

Gaydar is a top secret project, and therefore concealed inside the kleptomaniac robot, who nicked it from work. 

[Reply #38 on:]

I have to say spaceships. I want to drive one really bad. A car is fun, but you've got to stay on the road. That isn't as fun as flying in space.

[Reply #39 on:]

I'm going with Slurm.  Anything that comes out of a giant worms butt, and is highly addictive is going to sell well.  Gotta love Slurm...
