    Being punched in the face: No.

    Wanting to stop a suspect from escaping: [...] NO.

  10. Okay, everyone, we get it. All you PhDs in theoretical Astrophysics are just SO [...]ING EXASPERATED when you watch movies where the science of something we've never seen or accurately measured is just NOT REALISTICALLY PORTRAYED.

    But here's a tip: if you're looking for REAL, HARD science, a Matthew McConaughey movies probably not where you're going to find it anyway. The movies are for entertainment. Mmkay?

  11. Does anyone have time to format the run-off round 4 sims into one PDF doc that we can share, so that people can read via their email / hand-held readers? (Use this as a guide: http://forums.starbase118.net/index.php?/topic/10803-downloadable-september-october-collection/ )

  14. Polling closes at 11:59pm Pacific on Sunday, December 7th. This is a run-off poll, where our general membership will choose from the top sims of 2014 Rounds 21-26 to find the best sim that will proceed to the final round of the contest. Please read the sims below, which were chosen by a panel of judges (one from each ship) to find the best sims from each round of Set 3: ROUND 26: Luna Walker: "To Sleep, perchance to nightmare"ROUND 25: Sky Blake & Tristam Core, "A holographic step"ROUND 24: Quinn Reynolds & Alleran Tan, "Symmetry"ROUND 23: Alleran Tan, "The Broken Mirror"ROUND 22: Ben Kaji, "To the Briefing!"ROUND 21: Della Vetri, "Extreme Babysitting"Vote for the sim which is best written. We recommend looking for strong characterization and evocative or descriptive scene-setting. If any crew is found "stuffing the ballot" -- having everyone on the crew vote for the same sim to ensure it proceeds to the final round -- that crew will be eliminated from the contest for the remainder of the year. Good luck to the nominees!

But also, I have terrible allergies and am a mouth breather when I sleep. Teeth need saliva to break down bacteria, and as a mouth breather, my teeth don't get much of that at night. And for the bonus: I can't use mouthwash because it causes mouth ulcers (not cold...

  18. Nothing like a mint chocolate shake and some vicodin to make me feel better after painful dental work.

  19. I dreamed that, after the apocalypse, a woman tried to sic her tiger on me, and I scared it away by waving my plastic fork and screaming "I will eat you!"

  22. Slowly, I am learning that if writing a Facebook comment takes me more than 30 seconds of editing to get it right and avoid an inevitable argument, I should just not post the comment at all.
