Wow! 462 comments!!! Woohooo!!!!

I have had an epiphany.

We are all saved. Do not worry. Technobear, a very cuddly bear, will save everything!!

Wooohooo!!

Don't worry!!! Infinite World is POSSIBLE!!!!

Be HAPPY!!!!

There is enough for thousands of years!!! Don't forget ZERO POINT ENERGY!!!! See!!! We have plenty!!!!!

Gosh gee golly willickers!! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!!!

See, you gloomy woomy shoomy gosh bewillickering silly ole doomy doomers!! We are all just basking in the sweetness and light!!!

Oh, cornucopia, oh sweet nectar. Oh innumerate bliss of the unwashed masses. We need no scientific hoohaaaa!!! We can just throw ourselves down like children before the television, our chins on our hands, waiting to hear the absolute truth from the anointed ones who speak in quiet tones and tell us, "Look children, sweet technology!!!!!!"

Yes, I am convinced. It must have been your cogent arguments, your impressive intellect, perhaps your invariant application of rather smallish words grouped in what some call "childish attempts at satire" but which I call the SMARTEST DAMNED ARGUMENT EVER PUT FORTH!!

Yes, you, you my amazingly erudite friend, my brilliant child prodigy, my sweet, sweet stoker of the truth, stokin' stokin' ever stokin' that truth, purveyor of tasty cherries of knowledge (pronounced in honor of you, kah-nowledge), I finally bow to your ever potent, ever erect, ever pointed and superior ego.

Yes. I accept defeat.

Now. Where is my flying car?

We're backed up on the flying cars, but we're fully stocked on "ever potent, ever erect, ever pointed and superior ego[s]".

What scent would you like with that? I'm guessing nectar, but one never knows...

[Edit: Maybe because it is past my bedtime I forgot to mention that technobear will be out for the week sick. I hope you can understand that this is why the flying cars are giving us such immense problems. They simply don't want to fly without technobear...]

Those memos are sneaky. I have doubts that anyone reads them at all (I've even seen some use them as dart targets.)

July 23 is autobiography day here on TOD.

That reminds me, I have to finish The Life of Henry Brulard.
