And who would ever name something Uranus?

And it has rings around it. You can look it up.

Rings around Uranus? No comment.

Uh Oh.

It is getting dangerously close to midnight. I must never allow myself to type after midnight.

Nonie blamed this Moonlight Madness on the Manischewitz. I hearya, Nonie. Oh my! I picked up a nice cab today at Kroger. And I ain't talkin' yellow taxi.

And, Hey TH, I heard it was you driving that '57 Chevy. And if you do not know what I am talking about (I seldom do) please see earlier post in this intellectual thread.

And Tony, you are indeed a troublemaker. And I have a feeling that you well know that no matter which syllable is accented in 'Uranus' you can so mess with that word.

And I do love a good stream of consciousness going on once in a while. Too much fun. A little howlin' at the moon can be good for us.

I haven't read this thread, I thought it was just Judy howling at the moon again. Part wolf you know.

Now I find out I have to mark my man with Bounce so other women know he is taken.

These TOTV posts are just crammed full of useful information.

[graciegirl]

Please. I beg you please, do NOT start on Uranus.

[tony]

Barefoot's here. It must mean they have a moon in Canada. I don't think they have fabric softener there.

And boomer is playing with planet pronunciations that are beyond me. I tried to bring this back on topic with scientific discussion about uranus, but I suspect we're being diverted again by a bunch of English majors. Where are the scientific people?

GG, better Uranus than Myanus!

Tony! Was that you moonwalking down Buenta Vista???

Oh GG, thank you for trying to restore some dignity to this thread. As everyone surely knows, we Cincinnati girls are always quite dignified.

And Tony, Scientific. Schmientific. Everyone knows that in Greek mythology Uranus was known as Father of the Sky. He was married to Gaea, Mother of the Earth. Together they produced quite a brood. The Titans and the Cyclopes. Quite a house full of rug rats, huh.

(psssst...Hey, don't tell Tony, but I thought I had caught him. I was going to say, "Hey, Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir Science Guy, it is not Uranus with rings. It's Saturn that's got rings. I know stuff. I've seen 'National Geographic' a couple of times." -- But then, I looked it up and...uh oh, Uranus has rings, too.)

I have no idea what Chelsea is talking about. She must be delirious. I have never mooned in my life, and I will never it again, not on Buena Vista.

And now gracie is lecturing me. I didn't start this. It must have been some English major, and then the Cincy girls are trying to take it into the gutter.

Where are the physics majors to help get this back on scientific track.

You know when I was very young, when I got sick my grandma administered physics. It had something to do with Uranus, too, I think I remember.

It is true, we don't have fabric softener in Canada. We don't have electricity or any appliances. We wash our clothing in a creek and beat it with paddles, then hang it on the line to dry.

We smear our men with moose blubber to indicate ownership. Sara Palin taught the Canadians this trick.

What has happened here?
Went to work, been gone for a while and come back to; mooning, myanus, "cincy girls gone wild' and grandma's physics, and to think it all started with celestial visions of the moon and venus and saturn and uranuso my, o my, o my

Oh Whalen, I know. I was trying to be so dignified. Just trying to discuss poetry in relation to moonlight.

And then, well, you know what happened. Askew! Awry! Amuck, even! Off and running, for sure.

And then Mr. Tony, Mr. Admin, Sir, accused somebody of being an English major. An English major! Of all the nerve! Have you ever heard what Garrison Keillor does to English majors in those radio skits? Well, I certainly hope Mr. Tony does not think that I am an English major. I love to write in sentence fragments. I punctuate at will. And I am not going to stop. Hah! So how could I possibly be an English major.

And then, tonight, I was trying to put this thread out of my mind. I was listening to NPR. (even though I know that is the station that English majors probably listen to) Anyway, right there on NPR -- NPR of all places -- some guy with one of those soothing NPR voices started talking about how they have found methane gas on Mars!

Methane gas! On Mars! So what now? The Red Planet becomes the Blue Planet!!!!

And I know that I don't have to tell you which planet my mind wandered to when that guy started talking about methane gas.

Boomer

[tony]

Clearly the methane gas is from when the cow jumped over the moon.

You know what cows do most when they are standing around, mindlessly chewing like a former boss of mine.

[uujudy]

I spit coffee all over my keyboard. You guys are just toooo funny! Hilarious.
How on Earth (or Mars or the Moon) can I explain my lunatic laughter and the possible demise of the keyboard to Mr. Judy? Where in the world would I begin?

In the interest of science (but with some trepidation), I posted this week's information about Venus. (SOME people are interested in science) Out of respect for the dignity of the Cincy Girls, the poets, the cows, the backwoods Canadians & Sarah Palin, the Chinese women, and anyone else who lives on Earth, I also posted a disclaimer.

And to think I almost missed this!
