Packard threads have topics?

But does it smell?

I understand that you want your lawn green and lovely, and that it hasn't rained in a while, but watering the pavement is not the answer.

They did that a lot - just off the top of my head, William Campbell played Commander Koloth in "The Trouble with Tribbles" and Squire Trelane in "The Lonely Squire of Gothos."

Depends on what you're doing with (to?) it.

I'd volunteer, but I'm too busy trying to pass 3rd grade.

I don't know - the only thing that makes Teenagers from Outer Space stand out to me is that Peter Graves isn't in it.

Once upon a time, I wanted to see Freaks more than any other movie ever made. Having knocked that off my bucket list, my next goal is to see Glen or Glenda.

Well, Plan 9 has the opportunity for many a drinking game, unlike Teenagers from Outer Space.

That's the problem - you have to be at least a little fussy. The poor scientist was trying to replace the body of his fiancee.

As stated previously, one cannot attach a head to a website. Where would you go to find a real body?

The operative word being "yet."

My daughter and I discussed the answers, and she was really enthusiastic about this. Her face lit up, her eyes glowed, and she was all, "oh, yeah, hiking trail, cut one out of the pack, people disappear on hiking trails all the time..." It was a little scary, but kind of nice to know that the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Well, fresh head, anyway. Body'd be gone.

The video I took of the neighbor's car getting towed was better than Plan 9.

"Rowsdowermobile, away!"

Ok, I guess, but if you're familiar with the movie, you'll recall that there was a time constraint. Could you set up and have a date within one or two days (I'm not trying to be mean; I've never done the online dating thing)?

But is that where you'd go to get a body? (I must have gone to a dull nursing school. We all had jobs at the hospital.)

The object of the exercise is to get a body. One can't stitch the head of one's beloved onto a website. So where would you go to get a body?

It's not as big a wave as you might think.

So where would you go?

See, this is what I thought, and not just for the aesthetics - I'd want my partner to have a fairly fit and healthy body (fit enough to open jars and take stuff down cellar, anyway). If somebody's going to the gym, they're at least minimally invested in their health, and it's faster than breaking into a medical database and reading charts until I find an ideal specimen.

Ok, so we were watching MST3K on YouTube. (I do own an unriffed copy of it - it's the original, which starts out with a black screen and the head's voice whispering "let me die," which was cut out of later releases.)

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the 1962 movie masterpiece The Brain That Wouldn't Die. It's about a scientist trying to find a new body for his fiancee's head (which was the only part of her that he was able to salvage from the burning wreckage of her car). My daughter and I were kind of watching it this afternoon, and what hit us both was that the first place that he goes to look for a suitable body is a strip club. I was of the opinion that this was a reflection of the time, but she disagreed. So, gentlemen, my question is, has anything changed in almost 60 years? Is a strip club still the place where one goes when looking for a body? Or are there other venues now preferred when looking for a body to put a head on? Where would you, if your partner were suddenly bodiless, start your search?
