I nominate William Shatner to lead the mission, on the twin bases of experience in the matter, and to remove him from this planet, and so making the acting world a better place....

You chaps contemplating a trip to Venus.

And to think that the philosopher Kant pretty well never left his home town.

Rather than visiting Venus, the Seychelles, or Outer Manitoba, I've visited parts of Rossini, Samual Barber, Myslivecek, an' sm uvvers what are just, just out of copyright, and all without leaving the maisonette. Except for lunch.

As a friend of mine once pointed out,"Travel narrows the mind."

On the subject of flunked Wasserman tests:-

My poor little baby, he's deaf and he's dumb,
My poor little baby's insane,
He's got nasty big blisters all over his tum,
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame!

Oh boy, the rubbish I remember!

Liz,

Someone had to do it, and seizing an opportunity to appear a witty smart ass I jumped all over it.

Thanks for not being a witty smart ass and beating me to the punchline, I get so few opportunities to intelligently (hahahaha)contribute to Mudcat.

At least I didn't make the joke about the Gaseous clouds surrounding Uranus. Wait, too late. I guess I got 2 stinkers in for the price of one. Oops, that makes 3. I gotta qut this thread or my sense of humour will go over about like a fart in church, or a turd in the punch bowl. How did this thread turn into a expose on potty mouth and toilet humour. Oh great, my brain has got the runs...

"Jane, Jane...Stop this crazy thing" parapharsing George Jetson...

This is Chip's brain, and this is Chip's brain when radiated with a large dose of general all around silliness.

Chip,

"I'd rather flunk my Wasserman test
Than write a poem like Edgar Guest"

"Venus De Milo was noted for he charms,
But strictly between us,
You're cuter than Venus,
And, Baby, you've got arms!"

"The scented flames of the sun throw me,

Telling me how to move--I tell them

How to bend the light of shifting stars:

I order their curved wash so the moon

Will not escape, so rocks and seas

Will stretch their elbows under her.

I am the sun's toy--because I go against

The grain I feel the brush of my authority,

Its ripples straying from a star's collapse.

If I travel far enough, and fast enough, I seem

To be at rest, I see my closed life expanding

Through the crimson shells of time.

But the stars are still at large, they fly apart

From each other to a more soulful beginning;

And the sun holds good till it makes a point

Of telling itself to whiten to a traplight--

This emptiness was left from the start; with any choice

I'd double-back to the dullest blue of Mars."

You people are insane! It's "OFF to Venus!", not "on"!

Look, we are all on the earth (with the possible exception of Tweed) right now. To get to Venus we have to get off the earth. Hence, it's "Off to Venus!" If we leave it as "on" we'll never even get past the launchpad.

For further insight into the purposes and origin of the glorious Mudcat to Venus Mission, look into some recent posts on the "Closed Threads & Deleted posts" thread.

It is indeed heartening to see that others have taken up the cry "On to Venus!" Yes, the time has come for us all to pool our admittedly meagre resources into one grand effort, the conquest of Venus!

Left the spots upon the cushion
Footprints on the dashboard upside down?
Since you met my daughter Nelly
She's had trouble with her belly
Don't you think it's time you came around?

Yes, I'm the guy that did the pushin'

Footprints on the dashboard upside down.
