‘Stunning’: James Webb telescope provides new view of Uranus

[Blast it Tom!]

All the technology in the known universe, and we use it to make pictures of butts.

God help us.

C. S. Lewis once remarked that there is something very odd about a creature that is half embarrassed and half tickled to death about their own creature hood. It's hilarious watching my grandkids go through the "butts" phase and such.

People are generally decorus in public, and thank God, but every once in a while I'll roll over in bed and rip a nice, dry, high pressure classic blast and me and the Mrs. will laugh ourselves silly.

I'm... happy for you both?

(but seriously never lose that woman)

Yup that’s true love

Wrong thread? I think this is for the "What does your screen name mean?" thread.

Wrong thread? I think this is for the "What does your screen name mean?" thread.

By glory, that's certainly a new interpretation! My original thought was a cross between "Blast off" and my wife's frustration with this "useless" hobby I've chosen.

For your 50th, maybe try spicing it up a bit with some pyrotechnics.

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on, baby, light my farts
Come on, baby, light my farts
Try to set my farts on fire! Yeah!

It took me a minute to get the tune to those lyrics, but then I LOL'd!

Yup please inform us.

Yup please inform us.

Ha Ha! It’s an old one from around when I was born, so it was already a bit dated when I was your age, and that was a long time ago.

Not enough drugs around for me to listen to the Doors. My neighbor in college played them over and over again. Really odd lyrics.

 

[4regt4]

Yup that’s true love

Even more true love if it were a big *wet* one....

Funny you should mention that...

Oh, no. Only dry methane. She'd be disgusted... everyone has their limits!
