Seems NASA and the other countries involved involved in the design and construction of the new International Space Station have suddenly come to the shocking realization that they don't have a name for the durn thing.
Personally I'd like to see something commemorating the lives of the brave men and women who gave their lives in mankind's pursuit of space. I've come up with this: Space Station MACAW.
"Memorial to Astronauts, Cosmonauts, And Whatnauts"

Whatever became of the Space Station "Freedom"?
And couldn't we just call this one "New Freedom"?

well, lets see...
the russians are veto'ing anything that signifies a "first" since they've been flying space stations since salyut 1 back in the 70's, so the name "alpha" is out.....
"freedom" has obvious cultural problems amony many of the countries involved......
the japanese have a cultural problem with naming things after people, seems it might insult thier ancestors or some such.....
"peace" ("mir" in russian) has been taken......
hmmm.....
have to think about this....

New Freedom? If I'm not mistaken Kotex(tm) is already using that name.

Space...the final frustration. These are the Voyages of the Starship Stayfree. It's 5 year mission, to control bloating, find better chocolate and to boldly dare to talk to a woman on her heavy day.

It's only a dream of mine for a long time, that our goverment would see the need,a dn the absolutely logic behind a space station for every woman to go to for 7 days out of every month. Come on people, it just makes sense!
Re-entry? Zircon excrusted condoms of course!

I have a new slogan for the WEB Nunz...No fancy WEB pages, no startling graphics. Just a palce with a bunch of nice people that realize that beer, porn and having fun are 3 of the most important things in life.

Could I get a large profanity with that, and a side order of adverbs, to go?

You did forget free webcams, or does that fall under porn?

There's a guy who (for a modest fee) will photoshop the clothes away from any image, turning a picture of your high-school teacher into an x-rated fantasy. The results vary from strange to impressive.
I can dig up the link if anyone's interested.
However, I bring this up because it occurs to me that soon this technology will be available AUTOMATICALLY. In the very near future, you'll be able to apply a Wizard to an image and turn ANYTHING into pornography.
Turn the dial from "PG" to "XXX" and watch a naked Tom Brokaw give the news on MSNBC. Crank up the nudity on ANY website or webcam.
(Nudity != Porn, necessarily, but it's a start...)

Thus removing any need to have FKiss installed on your computer... I'm gonna miss messing with computerized anime-style "paper dolls"

Yeah, but the saving alone in virtual band-aids from the paper cuts will be worth it!
