I'll bet their wimmen are smokin' hot!

Well, certainly their bizarre scorpion creatures would be.

Of course, these are most intriguing photos taken;

From Mars

Put down the vodka, komrade

I'm just observing the pictures Goatman, tell me what you think of them.

I think that semicircular thing looks like something from the spacecraft.

Yet they have not found any sign of a life amoungst the Drudge Retort posters

Something that "emerges, fluctuates, and disappears" sounds like a camera system on its last legs. Did they photograph any movement? I wonder which Venera mission this was? Article doesn't say

I thought so too, but that is just one of several photos.

More problematic is the photo on Mars.

The Venus 3 mission in 82'.

Reminds me of when Omni magazine (anyone remember that one?) did an April fool's article on the Giant Flying Vampire Toads going extinct. A lot of fools picked up on it and actually believed it.

a couple of months later Omni had to actually tell people it was an April fool's joke?

Anyone remember this? It was in the early '80s

EVERY species is endangered. All civilization must be ended.

“The giant flying vampire toad (actually a species of frog, Hylidae â€" and the only toothed frog at that) preys only on golfers. It weighs about 20 pounds and has been reduced to nesting in one copse of trees at one hole of the Valhalla Golf Club in Florida, waiting for golfers to pass underneath. It glides down on a slimy, leathery membrane stretched between its legs, fastens its two hollow teeth into the golfer’s neck, and sucks his blood. Golfers avoid golf where the toad lives, so the Federal government declared the toad an endangered species and ordered Florida to select golfers at random to feed the vampires. Florida sued, and the Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Endangered Species Act was not intended to protect species that deserved to be extinct. Last I heard, the Supreme Court had ordered that the case be re-heard in another Circuit where the judges did not play golf in Florida.”

OMNI, June 1980, “Save the Toad!”, Norman Spinrad

I subscribed to Omni for years.

Omni was a cool magazine. I miss it, National Lampoon, and Heavy Metal. Best magazines from the '80s

I outgrew it

Being hot doesn't rule out life. It is pretty hot though, so I doubt it. That said, they find stuff here on earth that lives near geothermal vents. It would be amazing if true.

Morphological determination is way to easily biased. Remember the "paper" published a few years ago by a guy at NASA (against NASA's wishes IIRC) claiming to have found fossilized bacteria and single-celled organisms in an asteroid?

It was nothing but oval-ish formations of minerals.

The "translation" thing is pretty childish but then again, it's hans.

No translation necessary, hans. I outgrew drugs. It's odd you find something so weird about that that you feel you have to "translate" my view on them.

Oh well.

Nothing wrong with a doobie now and then.

Hans, I notice that 4 of your last 6 retorts are posts about me. Your first post back after your last months long hiatus was about me. You obsess over and have repeated hundreds of times something I said over three years ago still today. You constantly bring me up in threads I haven't even participated in.

Do you think you'll ever outgrow me like I outgrew drugs? Or will I forever be under your skin and in your mind?

Just curious.

PS hans, if my question to you in post 30 would be too embarrassing to answer, I understand. I would be quite ashamed to admit that I am not able to get an anonymous blogger out from under my skin.

So though I would like an answer, I understand it if you don't provide one.

Happy obsessing, dude.

Vindicated!

Ahh, another child announces his mental age with "translation"

And another drug addict finds it odd that another person outgrew that phase of his life and tries to make himself feel better by chastising him.

Thanks for the declaration of your insecurity, dummerboy. But we already knew

Why is it drug users have this holier than thou attitude that one must use illegal drugs to be normal?

And you guys stupidly wonder why you can't get your agenda pushed. LOL

FYI, dull one, I quit using illegal drugs many years (about 15) before I had to take piss tests at work. I didn't think it was a good example to set for my baby son. Seeing as to how you and other users like you seem to think there's something wrong with that decision, assures me I made the right one.

Next strawman, please, druggie.

The one I raised, stupid. The mother of the other one took him to another town and changed their names as I've said. How could I have been an influence on him?

And it's people like you who can't figure out the most basic of questions that think drugs should be legal. LOL

You guys don't need people like you saying it's all OK and has no effect on the brain, dull one. LOL

Next strawman, please, druggie.

#39 | Posted by goatman

You should address that to the average American with a half-dozen scripts and a diet heavy in sugar, salt, caffeine, and fat, lardass. By those standards, I'm a teetotaler.

You should address that to the average American....

Too ashamed to answer follow through, huh?

I can't say I blame you, dull. You've proven beyond any doubt that drugs are mind damaging. I mean your last question to me alone is either the result of the sheer inability to figure out a simple problem, or the result of memory loss -- both of which are symptoms of heavy drug usage, dull.

Bla bla bla. I'd rather be a cannabis user than a deadbeat dad.

Good for you. I'd rather be neither. Look like we both win as I'm sure you're still looking for a receptacle for your seed. LOL

Of course he didn't quit smoking cigarettes. Somehow that was a good example to set for his son. What a retard.

"Why is it drug users have this... attitude that one must use illegal drugs to be normal?"

Because it helps.

I could care who you call what.

Changes nothing. I am may be a "druggie" by definition. I understand this. I also understand that by that same definition you are also a druggie but one in denial.

No examples? Just a baseless drive by accusation? LOL

And I'll bet you wonder why I call you dummerboy.

Goatman....are you really that stupid? silly question I know.

But, do you drink alcohol or not?

Its a simple question so it should be easy to answer.

Of course it's simple. I do indeed drink alcohol sometimes.

Why?

#52 | Posted by goatman

Then you are a "druggie". And a hypocrite.

alcohol is one of the worst drugs out there.

Care to compare side effects?

Then you are a "druggie". And a hypocrite.

One thing at a time. You asked me a question. I answered. Now it's my turn to ask.

Upthread you made two statements. Please cite them or admit you lied:

I also understand that by that same definition you are also a druggie but one in denial.

Show me the post where I denied using alcohol

Another Texan in denial who has somehow convinced himself that alcohol is not a drug.

Show me the post where I said alcohol isn't a drug.

Or admit you are a liar

Then we'll move on to your next topic.

Ok it's simple.

Alcohol is a drug. You know alcohol is a drug. You drink alcohol.

You go on and on about Nulli or whoever calling him a druggie. It's the DRUG you say! And all the while you drink your own drug.

So you are either in denial or you are a hypocrite.

I got a fifty fifty chance on this one but considering my past experience with you I am going with hypocrite.

Now you can launch into your goat weasel rant about how it ain't so and I say this and you said that.

Save it.

Best go have a drink (to steady you nerves and help you forget) because

I

don't

Care.

#55 -- dummerboy (again proving the name)

I said I would continue this conversation when you cited the two false claims you made or admit you are a liar.

I see neither in your post.

Don't come back until one of those two conditions is met, liar

Wow ... a hypocrite AND in denial. LoL I wouldn't have guessed both.

Guess that is just the kind of guy you are.

Hope that works out for you.

So was this you latest deflection from my request to cite your lies upthread dumemrboy?

Looks like it, liar.

I told you not to get back to me until you cite your sources for your lies upthread or admit you are a liar.

Which part of that are you having a problem with dummerboy?

LOL

So Goatman uses drugs, but only others are druggies.

Got that people? Pay attention.

Poor Goatweasel. Maybe he needs an intervention. Living in denial like that is so sad. First thing they do is call everyone liars. wish I cared.

But, I don't.

Living in denial like that is so sad.

???

Denial of what?

Oh, are you revisiting that lie you told up thread accusing me of denying alcohol was a drug?

Do you really think that making that accusation again, still without proof is meaningful?

Again,your world is very strange, dummerboy. But OK, if you want me to point out, again, that you are a liar, I'll do it for you.

You are a liar. Prove I am in denial, dummerboy.

The Sun-Venus conjunction occurs on:
June, 6, 2012, 1:09:22 UT (June 5, 2012, 6:09:22 PM MST)

This time marks the mid-point of the Venus transit. The transit starts about 3 hours before this time and continues about 3 hours after.

22:15:56 13 22:34:00 16 01:30:15 33 04:26:09 23 04:44:09out

I just tuned in C2CAM - this will be a topic tomorrow night.

If NASA and whomever have been lying regarding the chemistry of Venus then we'd have a starting point including the possibility of a lush tropical paradise planet with hot women posing for the Russian probe.. Is there any evidence backing this particular conspiracy?

That's why he was famously lampooned a couple years back. "It's the Goatman Retort! It's the GOATMAN RETORT!"

Lol. Funny shit. It hurt his feelings pretty bad at the time, but it was still funny.

Heh, it's been years: "Long live space race.. Long live MOLVANIA!"
