Haha! Thanks, I did have a bit of fun, I am pleased it made you laugh!Just Old Al wrote:That was a truly twisted rendition - all the way down to the Richard Petty hat...BRAVO! I laughed long and hard when I saw it.Hansontoons wrote: Yeah, I know. I shoulda drawed Obelix carrying a stack of tires (tyres for you furriners) like he carries Menhir.
Because laughter is the best medicine. Not necessarily the least painful, but the best.DinkyInky wrote:ROFLMAO
It hurts to laugh.
Oh why do I keep looking at these pages before I'm well?
The books have arrived safely, and there was much rejoicing in the land...lake_wrangler wrote:Huh... I used to have L'Étoile Mystérieuse, but do not seem to have it anymore. Neat. And I think I've read Tintin En Amérique once, a long, long time ago...Hansontoons wrote:Here are the two en français, let me know if you are still interested. If yes, they are yours.
The Mysterious Star cover has minor condition issue (tape stain) from being next to the book I did binding repair with packing tape.
So yeah, I'm definitely interested. If you can find out how much it would cost to ship to Montréal, Québec (postal code H2E 2C6, if they ask), then PM me the amount and your PayPal account, if you have one,or your address, if you don't, so I can send you the money. Of course, don't mail anything until I've paid, as it won't be immediate, but should be within the next 3 to 4 weeks at the most.
Excellent! I hope they provide enjoyable reading!lake_wrangler wrote:The books have arrived safely, and there was much rejoicing in the land...lake_wrangler wrote:Huh...

Well, in my home, anyway...
Thanks again, Hansontoons!

"It's manually operated."
"Manually?"
"You have to do it yourself."

Some of us resemble that scenario. It freaks out my boss every time he catches me talking to my Android smartwatch. Sadly, it doesn't respond in Majel Barrett Roddenberry's voice..lake_wrangler wrote:Star Trek IV wrote:[faced with a 20th century computer]

I'm less than enthusiastic - I'd say I have a negative amount of enthusiasm - about the idea of eliminating screens and keyboards. Because sometimes one needs to specify something *exactly* and then *verify* it before the computer responds to it.Just Old Al wrote:Some of us resemble that scenario.

I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with that as an option in the iPhone/Droid world... You can get ST:TOS sounds for practically everything else on your 'puter...Just Old Al wrote: Some of us resemble that scenario.

i'll bet that somebody ALREADY HAS done it... and then got slapped with a C&D Letter from the Roddenberry estate... thus it's in legal limbo and may never be released...jwhouk wrote:I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with that as an option in the iPhone/Droid world...

I think the only way flying cars would be feasible is if they were automated, and even then I'd fear someone hacking them...
