    Thank You guys for not wanting to leave me behind, even though there may have been a little bit of an ulterior motive involving coffee. :D I'm sorry I haven't been around lately. I've been trying to figure out how much power to give the hovercraft thrusters without blasting someone into orbit. I almost went into orbit myself. Wow, what a ride that was. Fortunately, I hit the loop around Phoebos just right to end up back here. Thanks for caring. Good friends are hard to find.
    :D

    I am glad you were able to get back after the hovercraft incident. And you are right, I would rather loose my new car than a true friend.

    I hope so! :eek:
    Judging from his expression, I think that he has had a critical dose of caffeine and his piloting ability is being severely impacted by it. Fortunately, the crater is not too deep! Phew! :D

    Don't worry. If I do fall in, I'm sure the Stooges will be glad to dig me out. Oh, that reminds me, how's our stock of shovels?

    Before we left earth A particle beam weapon was installed on Inifinity, it will take care of a seventy mile wide asteroid with no problems.

    Chief Engineers Log Stardate: 0412.5. Due to this terrible news, it would be advisable to remain here on Mars until after Aug. 5th.

    Cochise, I don't think that even Detox's shelter will really do you any good. Since an asteroid only 6 miles wide caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, what do you think a 70 mile wide one would do? I hope we never find out. :eek:

    Hi BJ, You obviously haven't seen Detox's Shelter....it's awesome..... :eek: You would be well advised to get your name down on his Fan-Club...NOW!

    Cochise, :cool:
    PS. It wasn't an Asteroid that snuffed out the Dynos....it was just sheer BOREDOM!.. :D :D

    I don't know about anyone else, but, I find it really hard to sleep without reading the next installment of "Life on Mars", and what is happening to our courageous and intrepid adventurers!! Will BJ crash into the crevice, would the Three Stooges want to dig out their competition for coffee? Can Ugeul (sp) keep her optimistic humor ;) with these caffiene crazies :D and keep them on schedule? Will Cochise and Paint have to ride to the rescue, or maybe she will detox Detox, draw a magical copy of BJ, build a transporter BEAM us ALL to Mars? :eek: Who knows? WHAT WILL they do next?? Ahh, the fear and frustration of it all!!! :doubt:

    Even if bush's astronauts did get to mars they wouldn't have near as much fun as the crew of the Inifinity. ;)

    Yes, it's a nice team; we agree pretty well together! ;)

    Uhhhh, BigC and Marja, I think we need to have an intervention for Beetlejuice. I think his caffeine kick is getting out of hand and he needs help getting things under control. :D

    UH, CAPTAIN UGUEL? Aaah, sorry to break the news to you this way, but, an intervention with BeetleJuice is probably not going to happen. It seems he may have caused an "interplanetary incident", this coming from the Martian Enquirer. It seems he tried to hijack the Third Ringo of Saturn's favorite coffee maker, it is quite a scandal how it all happened, they are holding him in a special brig at Martian Central. Again, sorry, sir, madame, we knew he coud no hold, Cap'em, an he BLEW!!

    Report to Captain Uguel:

    It seems the Third and Eighth Ringos of Saturn were throwing an engagement party for their son and daughter's wedding. Things got out of hand and Security was called to control the crowd. Many were drinking and well.... Saturnites will be Saturnites, it seems that gave BJ the idea to "borrow" the Third Ringo's coffee maker, which also caused problems with crowd control. Those Saturnites drink coffee to relax them and well, you can figure it out, Captain!! You have got your hands full when they figure out you and your team are exploring their zoo! Yes, it seems you are on the top of an underground zoo, oooh, who knows what's lurking about!!! Best be prepared!! I am sending along a picture of the party so you will recognize the Satunites. Regards.

    No no Marja, you've got it all wrong. I personally know Ringo. After I tested the hovercraft for safety, he asked me if he could go for a ride on it. We had so much fun. And after we were done, he invited me over to his pad for coffee. The Saturnites were just into some heavy partying. That's just how they are. See, I've even got this picture of him.
    :cool:
