[mopaul]

anything i need to know before i go?

[ZombieNixon]

1. Meh...

It's not all that. I mean, once you've seen one endless expanse of nothingness, you've seem them all.

[mopaul]

2. so there's plenty of parking?

[ZombieNixon]

3. Yeah. No one goes there anymore...

it's too crowded. :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. I've been to the end of the universe, but never the edge

[mopaul]

5. damn, i've always wanted to go, but could never afford it

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. All ya gotta do is hitch a ride!

Just go wave your towel outside.

[BikeWriter]

6. Wear plenty of warm clothing. I spent a year there...

[mopaul]

7. a regular year, or a light year?

[BikeWriter]

8. It seemed an Eternity, but it ended.

[mopaul]

11. i spent two weeks in east st. louis one night

[BikeWriter]

16. I've heard East St. Louis can be secluded, but...

Not as much so as the mountains of Alaska.

[BikeWriter]

33. It's -4°F at Sparrevohn right now.

9. Please send a post card. I've always wondered what

was there. Is it a wall? No, that couldn't be it, because the universe is expanding. So what is it expanding into? More space?

[mopaul]

12. having singularity time, wish you were here

[mopaul]

10. i've heard bad stories about those black holes, are they THAT bad?

[El Fuego]

13. Bring a towel.

[supernova]

14. But back away when you reach the event horizon

:-)

[mopaul]

15. yeah, i saw that movie, that would put a damper on the whole thing

[Ptah]

17. Don't worry, we'll bring you home

Happy trails to you,
until we meet again.

:hi:

[mopaul]

29. since you'll all be centuries dead when i return, goodbye forever

[Ptah]

36. Please leave a wreath at the tombstone.

:pals:

We waited a long time for you.

[mopaul]

37. yes, and i appreciate the statue, great job

although destroying mt. rushmore to put my face on it was a bit much.

[Ptah]

40. When you get here, turn left:

[mopaul]

41. thanks! i'll stop and visit hendrix while i'm there

[Ptah]

42. Excuse me, while I kiss this guy

[Initech]

18. Just go to Las Vegas Blvd.

Casinos, booze, bad lighting, no exits, and poor ventilation - you'll easily feel like you're at the edge of the universe!

[mopaul]

20. i hope they don't have one of those 'star wars' bands playing

space jazz sucks

[Initech]

31. I think they do at the Vegas Hilton.

[mopaul]

19. how long of a drive is it? or would a train be more better?

[bridgit]

22. take some thermal underwear...

:thumbsup:

[Fox Mulder]

23. No advice, but a question...

take me with you?

[mopaul]

24. i dunno agent mulder, trouble seems to follow you

and i don't need any unexplained plotlines.

[supernova]

25. The Smoking Man

is your go to guy.

[JitterbugPerfume]

27. There is a

very cool resturaunt there


interesting entertainment

[mopaul]

28. what's the atmosphere like?

i hate restaurants with no atmosphere.

[JitterbugPerfume]

45. as long as you have your towel

you got nothing to fear

[mopaul]

26. is it best not to mention that i'm from earth?

i hear they don't like us too much anymore out there.

[spindrifter]

30. Don't forget to take a jar of peanut butter.

[mopaul]

32. but of course, jiffy, creamy

i hear the natives consider it gold out there beyond the perimeter

[mopaul]

34. what about those snobby advanced civilizations?

i hear they get snippy when you don't tip enough

[mopaul]

35. a friend of mine went last year, but was attacked by romulans

nasty foreheads on those devils, ruined her whole vacation.

[qnr]

38. You're gonna need a really long extension cord if you use one of the new

electric spaceships.

[mopaul]

39. luckily i rented one o' those new plasma pulsar jobs

and i don't mind stopping every few million light years to gas up.

[antigone382]

43. I hear there's a really awesome restaurant there...

You should check it out. Incredible view.

[mopaul]

44. yeah, and they got that Residual Echo Lounge i heard about

[mopaul]

46. I'm BACK! and it was FABULOUS!

gosh my head is absolutely SPINNING! words just can't describe it, i should've brought a poet along. when you first see it, it just takes your breath away and you feel like you're being sucked right into it! cameras don't work there which is a damn shame, NOBODY TOLD ME...DUH.

the trip seemed like it took forever while just whizzing by at the same time and we were there in no time at all, because there was no time at all.

everything they say about it is true, and hash is legal there! and i met a butt load of really nice entities and life forms, most of whom were friendly and in a physical form, although the floating ball of light types were a bit surly of course.

aside from the initial discomfort of being stretched out into a single line of atoms spanning several million light years upon entry, the arrival went swimmingly, and i was re-atomized on the tarmac.

going through customs wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, although i didn't care for the anal probe and molecule scan, but i'd do it again. i couldn't believe the stuff they let me bring back, like a hurricane in a can, a klingon skull, a shape shifting cactupus, and 40 tons of primo alpha centauri hash! killer!

visited marvin the martian's nightclub, which to me was the highlight, cause marvin was there and jamming hard! and those waitresses! don't get me started!

all in all i had a great time and i highly recommend it.
