Boy, I can't believe it's been 250 years since the last episode of Angel aired.
Can you imagine what it must have been like to watch the episodes on those 2 dimensional 'Telivisual sets'?
How wierd must that have been.
I LOVE the retro look that we've adopted for the anniversary, by the way.
Look at us! We're posterers on the 'Intranet'! How 21st century!

Speaking as a poster from your distant past, um, welcome, and ... how'd that global warming thing turn out?

Oh just fine. No big whoop.
We're all just constantly on fire now.
Well, those that don't live on satalites.
Ironically, the most frustrating part about the future is the way that it was eventually proved that the religious far right was actually right about everything. SO frustrating.
STill, after the second and third comings, it was pretty hard to deny.
STill- Those early episodes of 'The Rapture, this morning' are considered video classics.

Oh no, not the year 4000, just the 4000th Caritas.

Although we did switch to base 11 after the extra fingers started.

Of course. I see what you're saying.
So, just out of curiosity -- fine, it's to settle a bet -- everything was ultimately determined to be Neil Bush's fault, yes?

Now... to be fair, you pretty much knew that in 2005, didn't you?

I do have to add- here we are 249 years in the future and we STILL don't have freakin' hovercars.
Boy, were the sci-fi serials wrong about THAT one.
We have, however, all begun to wear identical jumpsuits, thanks to the congressional 'Jumpsuit act' of 2297.

* has trouble with the base-11 environment, skates right on past it *
Y'see, I was pretty sure about Neil, but there was this whole mind-control thing that was happening to everyone through FAUXnews and ... say, did they ever pull the plug on that?

An amusing side note on Base 11 mathmatics-
Due to an unfortunate lack of forward planning, they named the eleventh single digit 'penis'
Unfortunately, yet predictably, this led to the complete collapse of all electronic equipment globally
as a vast percentage of electronics was preprogrammed to edit out the word as it was, apparently,
some form of archaic reference the the Schw********8lug%tuber
Can you believe that?

Nowadays, all schoolchildren are taught it as a matter of course in their basic numbers
Zero,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,penis,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,1penis,20, etc.

It is ... difficult. But the words "google" and "googleplex" used to refer to numbers, so I guess it's not impossible.
The GEN. Ah. They must've been insufferably smug on the day of the Rapture, hiding under their desks, pretending to have been saved.
You've chosen as your screen name the name of one of my contemporaries, actually, a youthful Midwesterner who had this charming habit of knowing many things, writing with surpassing eloquence and also, as it happens, being gay. Are there gay people in your ... * racks his brain for a metaphor for posting ahead * ... time zone?

Are you kidding? There's nothing BUT!
It turns out, all that talk about just wanting 'equal rights' and not 'coming for your children'...

It turned out, they WERE attempting global takeover. Pretty succefully, too!
I can't BELIEVE you guys didn't see it coming.
