That is best said when you are serving roast beef with gravy to people whom you don't really care for, especially if they have queesy stomachs.

First time I saw 'Silence of the Lambs' was on a flight to London. I hadn't had enough to drink when the open the top of the skull scene came up. I felt like I was about to lose it so got up and sat on the edge of the exit door for about 15 min. No cabin crew came to see me, arrest me, or anything else. But this was pre 9/11.

If a Gorn had been on the flight I would have been toast.

There are some scenes in the TV series "The Pacific" that also feature smashed open skulls - don't watch the Peleliu episodes if you are still squeamish!

No, we regurgitate everything for our young.

What if you have no young ? Just leave piles ?

Good grief, there are always young. They're all over the place. Only a small percentage will reach adulthood so we have to come up with lots of gorn puke. That's just mother nature.

That was a fail …. try again …..

So why do so few young gorns reach adulthood ?

Are there other species which are higher on the food chain ?
Or do they merely get accidently stepped on or buried under an adult puke pile ?

For those not aware 'The Pacific' is the other side of the world version of 'Band of Brothers". I would say with better acting. And more actual 'real' history.

Band of Brothers is still stunning though.

One non-Gorn opinion.

That might be seen as me as throwing shade at the Gorn - it was not meant to do so.....but I did not want to wait to hit edit.

Many of us paint "Ranger Joe" on their backs so we won't make that mistake.

That just means that PIGS might spray their capsicum spray on you for seasoning while individuals will be upset because you consume all or almost all of their ethanol products. [:D]

OK, this I have never seen before. I was out walking the dog, and came across this on a house down the road. One hawk sitting on an air vent "Surveying his domain". But his sibling was wrapped around the house exhaust, hanging from the side of it. I walked up to them, they just stared back at me, no concern at all. Stayed like that for a couple of hours. I was getting concerned, when she righted herself. Now she's just standing on top of that vent.

All is normal, but I think that bird was enjoying the AC [:D]

'Pigs' was the name Italians gave to their manned torpedoes during WWII. They were generally successful, despite the British spraying 'oink oink' on their backs when captured...

Policeman In Government => PIG
Police In Government System => PIGS
Harley's Owner Group => HOG
So if you see a motorcycle cop, that just might be a PIG on a HOG! [X(]

But that then begs the question, if a PIG eats pork, is it cannibalism? [&:]

I wanna see the dinosaurs open a park with human subjects cloned from amber. They could get the Gorns to run it.

When meeting a Mongol for the first time, what should you ask him?

Are you an innie or an outie?
