If you had to write a jingle for ex-lax, what would it be?

C + C Music Factory - "We know, how about The Thing That Makes You Go Poop?"

[geofflambert]

I know. I'm from Gorn. We all have warped senses of humor.

Yah, the thing that makes you go poop, poop, poop

I don't yet know how to moderate exposure on the camera I have, but here's the best I can do at the moment. A full Moon and a full Mars.

[geofflambert]

Sorry that I don't have a good pic of one, yet. Any night I spend even a little time watching my back yard I will see at least one o'possum patrolling it. My question is this: Why are these marsupials considered to be Irish? I know, I know; if they were called McPossums they would not be considered to be Scottish, rather they would be part of a Happy Meal.

Because they are often seen staggering clumsily along at night? And looking for your potato peelings?

[geofflambert]

If you're peeling potatoes, throw away the starch portion, it just adds pounds to your bathroom scale. Keep the skins, that's where all the vitamins and minerals are. The o'possum will be perfectly happy with the starch.

I believe I have discovered the answer to this ponderous question.

In biology class we cut a slice of potato and stained it with iodine to show the distribution of starch. Most of the starch is right next to the skin!
I like the taste of potato skins so I eat the whole Irish enchilada!

Is this a UGO? (Unidentified Gorn Object)

[geofflambert]

The red arrow points to my starship, waiting to beam me up, if that's what you mean.

[geofflambert]

The green arrow points to a Klingon Bird of Prey just uncloaking. When they realized they were in the presence of a gorn battlecruiser, they behaved themselves.

Here is a sequence of a female Downy Woodpecker feeding a juvenile at a peanut feeder.

We often have 'name this ship' challenges on this forum. Name this one.

[BBfanboy]

I think that is a BB - Bridget Bardot.

[Orm]

I counter with this one.

[geofflambert]

Ellie Mae Clampett?

nope

More of a BC if you ask me.

[Orm]

Mine was Donna Douglas.

[geofflambert]

If you're throwing Donna I'll just have to throw Dawn back.
