Personally, I would have enjoyed having them called Vulcan and Klingon, or even Romulus, since I'm a Trek fan. . However, since Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld, they could have named the moon for his Greek counterpart, Hades, and his guard dog, Cerberus. They could have also chosen Ceres and Proserpina. Pluto supposedly took Ceres daughter, Proserpina, to the underworld as his bride.

It took me a little while to find it, but I remembered a play being written for one of the Anthologies and here is the link to it, if you are interested. https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/lookawaydickie

It would definitely take a totally different mindset, since you would be totally focused on dialogue. Stage directions aren't nearly as detailed as descriptions in stories and leave much of that up to the actors. I'm sure you might have some interested parties though.

Douglas Engelbart, Father of the Computer Mouse, Dies at Age 88
Bill W replied to hh5's topic in The Lounge
Another contribution that changed the world, but I'm not sure how the term mouse applied looking at that. Obviously, the term must have been given to one of the later improvements on the device. RIP, Douglas Engelbart, and I shall think of you every time I used my computer. -
Happy 4th of July to all US GA members.

I wouldn't mind having my brain transplanted into a younger body, but who wants to keep an old head? lol

For a while, I thought the stocking cap was to cover up premature baldness. lol Marc, I'm not sure about the bitch fight - it might be just the security teams mixing it up or possibly someone pulling a gun. Hell, Justin might even try to run him over with his Ferari.

If he is the next Justin Bieber, is there a way to keep him from going off the deep end as Justin seems to have done lately?

Happy Birthday to my favorite carebear. May you have many, many more.

So that's what British men do in their garden sheds. Really cool and looks like something out of Stargate. I know this is what a lot of the early space pioneers pictured for space travel, such as the Flash Gordon Strato Sled or the original Buck Rogers spacecraft. I hope he can make it functional. .

Is it Jared Leto?

Andy, I'm glad you approve and you can thank WL for the suggestion of multiple endings. I rolled the dice several times, but never came up with Yetti Ones results. I guess I had better luck.

Rather than spend my money on coffeetiviti, I'll continue to use my music or the tv on low for background noise. However, this does prove why I have always relied on such background noises, even when writing papers in college.

Happy Birthday, Stellar. Hope it's a great one.

Not sure about the fascination with twinkies, especially fried twinkies, but it certainly helps to explain some of the obesity problem. Personally, my obsession is with chocolate, especially dark chocolate.
-
Thanks, Yetti, I'm glady you enjoyed it and to roll an 11 too. lol By the way, even though I may be old, I'm not old enough to have lived in a medieval etting.

They're cute when they're small, but you'll change your mind when they grow up and are hungry. lol

Looks as if it will be a riot to watch. You've got to love Ian McKellen.

Lisa Ling's Our America --Transgendered (9pm EST) and at 10pm Abou
Bill W replied to Cannd's topic in The Lounge
Cannd, welcome to GA, at least your first post, and I'm sorry I missed this program. It sounded very interesting, but I happened upon it after the fact. I hope it will be reaired at another time. -
Yes, the pull of the moon not only affects the tides, but as James pointed out, it can have other dubious effects as well.
-
Happy Birthday, Viv. I hope it's a great one.
-
Sure. Me and my big mouth. Since I made that last comment, about hoping the Braves don't collapse, they gone into a tailspin. They lost so many games since then that they must consider me a jinx.
-
Thanks, Joann, and I'm glad you tried it with the dice. I had Jem set up the choices so the odds were definitely in his favor, so he'd save as many as he could.
-
I enjoyed the role reversal. where the one usually taking care of the other suddenly finds himself the dependent one. I enjoyed their relationship and give and take. I pictured a really cute couple.
-
Great Job, Cassie. Loved how you tied the relationship to D & D, but enjoyed the twist at the end when Carter said he liked to stake the odds. I don't know about you, but there are 7 dice in my set, with the lowest possible roll a 4, so the odds were definitely stacked in his favor. lol Fun story.
