Yes, yes. Point is I don't care for Space Opera and so do not encounter galaxy-threatening conspiracies. I'm too worried about democracy-threatening conspiracies, but that is for a different thread in a different area.

TV writers have the same problem. They can't create anything that doesn't have an ongoing giant conspiracy in the background. Silly is the most polite and generous term I could apply.

Are we going to need gasmasks to continue reading and/or posting in this thread?

As you said Zodwollop, there is a section for P&R; why are these drive by posts necessary. I expect such posts from the progressive lefties who must have to post their opinion whenever and wherever, but I guess this should be discussed in another section also.

Why start the snowball rolling?

I fart in your general direction!

I cannot believe you've never seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I recently learned that "fartkontrol" is an actual Danish word. Unfortunately, it actually means "speed check."

"Fart" means speed in Norwegian too, and "smell" means "bang" (as in a sudden loud noise). There a silly joke about a Norwegian person trying to describe a sledding accident in English, and saying "I started out with a great fart, but ended up at the bottom of the hill with a terrible smell"

I guess I've seen it in the ancient days of my youth, but I remember almost nothing about it. I'm not big on movies and it's not often I watch them.

Thanks for the explanation.

The applicability being that there is a line something like "I fart in your general direction".*

* as I recall, I'm to lazy to look it up.
