Take A Moment

[Boerseun]

A moment for bipedalism.

 

After many years of doubt, I've finally come to the conclusion that it actually rocks.

[Pyrotex]

A moment for total surrender to the necessity of collecting together all your tax related documents and receipts and forms. [sigh]

I would like to Take A Moment for a great author "Arthur C Clarke"

Space Odyssey author dies

 

The science fiction writer' date=' Arthur C Clarke, who co-wrote the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, with Stanley Kubrick, has died in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide says. He was 90.

 

Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s and sometimes used a wheelchair, died at 1:30am on Wednesday

 

<-->

 

British-born Clarke was regarded as far more than a science fiction writer.

 

He was credited with the concept of communications satellites in 1945, decades before they became a reality.

 

Geosynchronous orbits, which keep satellites in a fixed position relative to the ground, are called Clarke orbits.

 

Clarke's non-fiction volumes on space travel and his explorations of the Great Barrier reef and Indian ocean earned him respect in the world of science, and in 1976 he became an honorary fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

 

But it was his writing that shot him to his greatest fame. [/quote']

So sorry I didn't mean to double post, :)

I seem to have skiped a few posts when I hit the "view first unread" ??? :eek:

 

Lets Take A Moment for my friends at Hypography,

without them I would be Lost.

 

Thanks InfiniteNow ;)

[Boerseun]

A moment for bowel movements.

 

Without them, the world would be filled with very unhappy, frowning people. Bowel movements is the biggest single ingredient in basic human happiness, yet discussion thereof is not welcome at garden parties.

 

...gardens, of course, growing in topsoil, which is of course 99% humus, which is of course the result of millions upon millions of tiny insect bowel movements.

 

Imagine a week without any bowel movements anywhere in the world.

 

Wars would break out over the last laxatives.

 

I think a good movement deserves a moment.

take a moment for camping with good friends, the starlit bonfire, swimming holes, and the art of outdoor cooking. (a moment for these, and i elect to take another personal moment for renegade soundsystems)

booyah.

Take a moment for the passing of Tim Russert, longtime political journalist and host of Meet the Press. Tim, age 58, collapsed & died today at work in Washington DC. :msn:

 

Motion seconded.

 

 

 

The Associated Press: Russert and his Sunday morning grilling

Public figures brought their talking points to "Meet the Press." Tim Russert brought his laser intensity, a skeptical gaze and facts they'd rather forget.

 

"Let's watch," Russert would say week after week, the Sunday morning chef about to make the powerful eat their words. "Let's listen."

 

Out would come the videotape, the audiotape, the old quotes.

 

You could almost feel the guest squirm.

 

For the political class, perhaps nothing was more challenging — yet unavoidable — than a Sunday morning in the "Meet the Press" hot seat facing its tenacious host, who died Friday.

 

 

 

YouTube - NBC reports that Tim Russert passed away http://youtube.com/watch?v=iDN7aQTTr8w

 

 

[modest]

Most pundits and commentators wear their affiliation and ideology on their sleeve. Five minutes of watching Chris Matthews or most any other “news analyst” will tell you exactly what their bias is.

 

I never, after watching Tim every week for so many years, could tell how he voted or who he favored. He was one of a kind and my Sunday now feels ruined. This election year feels ruined.

 

It feels like all the Karl Roves out there were just handed a victory while the voters lost something of value.

 

Untimely in many ways. A real loss.

You beat me to it, Buffy, despite the fact that I'm in a time zone two hours ahead of you.

 

Take a moment for the Seven Words You Can't Say on Television and the Hippie Dippie Weatherman. {sniff}

[Loricybin]

a moment for george.

:rolleyes:

[Turtle]

Here's George from the grave. Miss ya Buddy. :P

The original seven words were, ****, piss, ****, ****, cocksucker, mother****er, and tits. Those are the ones that will curve your spine, grow hair on your hands and maybe, even bring us, God help us, peace without honor um, and a bourbon.

[Loricybin]

a moment for live music.

[Boerseun]

...and, of course, one helluva big moment and a round of applause and beers all round for the Hubble Space Telescope, which just completed its 100,000th orbit!
