Woot. That's Newcastle taken from the quayside. That's the swing bridge with the high level bridge in the background. It was designed by Robert Stephenson and build 1846-1849.

And our destroyers are now larger then that batteship.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

WallysWorld

First US Navy ship to be deployed with a laser.

After successful testing last year, the Navy is preparing to deploy its first directed energy weapon to the fleet. When it puts to sea this summer, the afloat forward staging base ship USS Ponce will be equipped with the Navy's Laser Weapon System (LaWS).

While the Navy will still depend on missiles and guns to defend against bigger targets, the LaWS system is designed to cost about a dollar a shot without the fuss and muss of the depleted uranium bullets spewed by the Navy's Phalanx Close-In Weapons System (CIWS).

Nicely placed shot low on her hull.... good thing she didn't get through
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

I'll have to dig around for it but I recently saw an incredible model of this ship.
