That's me though.

It's a race against time, depending entirely on how fast we can build robots that can build robots that can build robots that can build stuff that will let us survive the climate.  In that case we could hide underground while they rebuild the earth for us, and possibly the atmosphere, and then moonbases and whatever else.

I can't say who will win this race, or how long it will take, but I can say that I trust the robots.

I don't know.   What if it all ends up like this.

I mean... the TV show was bad enough.

I have no idea how this show slipped past me.  I just looked it up, and it was part of Action Pack, back when they made all those made-for-TV Hercules movies.  I remember watching those Hercules movies and their Knight Rider in the future movie, and some other crap, but I've never even heard of this genius work of art.  Cryogenically frozen due to complications during breast augmentation surgery???

Wow.  Thanks.

Well I still trust the robots.  I'm either going to be the first one to die, and accidentally aid their takeover, or I'm going to be the one that they choose to trust in return, so I can help bring about peace.

Not much longer. I give us about 500 years.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Yeah it actually replaced Hercules I believe.  That and Jack of All trades.  Which is also great for cheesy TV.

Plus it stars Bruce Cambell.

Perhaps in 500 or so years, we will be at war with a theocratic collection of alien species...

Damn!  I didn't know he got his own show on Action Pack!  Hm, these were on when I was graduating high school, which is when I stopped watching TV and started watching a couple movies a day instead.  I loved Bruce as the King of Thieves on Hercules and Xena.  He even had a time travel episode on Xena, which was great, because I'd just seen him travel through time in Army of Darkness, and on The Adventures of Brisco County Junior.  I kind of expected him to time travel in everything he did after those 3 in a row.

I guess I picked the wrong time to stop watching TV.  I should've held out for one more year for these shows.  I'll have to track them down somehow.
