In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
You’re right, they wouldn’t fight. What they would do is each select five characters from their own films and send them into a Battle Royal. So, if you are David or Stanley, which characters do you direct to fight your battle?
I’m only qualified to speak to Kubrick’s bench. HAL9000, of course, to totally ruin the opposition’s day. Jack Nicholson from The Shining to do the dirty work. Oh, I almost forgot the boys from A Clockwork Orange!
How about Feats of Strength…a good friend that I worked with took a promotion and is being transferred..go down to the pub with the wife..I drank 8 Corona over 2.5 hours. Didnt get home and need a pee until 3.5hrs in…
So are we going to see some “BABES” with tuck friendly swimwear here on the IMAO babeswatch? Come on now, do be inclusive. Everyone must be represented. Like this years Sports Illustrated cover “girls” and the new Adidas “swimwear model. After all now that Target has “tuck friendly” swim wear you should be able to feature “babes” with chest hair, beards and Adams apples along with all the other beauties.
Saturn Reclaims ‘Moon King’ Title With 62 Newfound Satellites, Bringing Total to 145 Space| May 12, 2023 | Robert Lea
Sorry, Jupiter.
Astronomers have discovered 62 new moons orbiting the ringed planet Saturn.
The satellite haul brings the planet’s total number of moons to over 100 and also means the gas giant takes back the crown as the solar system’s “moon king” from Jupiter.
Prior to this discovery, Saturn had 83 moons recognized by the International Astronomical Union, so the new batch brings the total number to an incredible 145. The discovery marks another milestone for Saturn, with the planet becoming the first world in the cosmos known to be orbited by more than 100 moons.
Space Force — on the payroll of Saturn — instead takes out a bunch of Jupiter’s moons, to widen the gap. KJP calls it a tremendous success in reducing Saturn’s moons.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Nice tankdemon..good call..thanks for taking the time…cheers..
It didn’t take much time, just copy and paste.
How do you do that?Magic?😉
I don’t know how the interwebs work, I just use its shortcuts.
Well, I must say that this open thread is positively scintillating. Let’s get some sort of discussion going. Here goes–
In a battle to the death, who wins, David Lynch or Stanley Kubrick?
Why are they fighting?
You’re right, they wouldn’t fight. What they would do is each select five characters from their own films and send them into a Battle Royal. So, if you are David or Stanley, which characters do you direct to fight your battle?
I’m only qualified to speak to Kubrick’s bench. HAL9000, of course, to totally ruin the opposition’s day. Jack Nicholson from The Shining to do the dirty work. Oh, I almost forgot the boys from A Clockwork Orange!
If I were Lynch, I would select:
Paul Atreides
Duncan Idaho
Sailor Ripley
Frank Booth
Henry Spencer
For Kubrick, I would send in:
Animal Mother
General Buck Turgidson
Alex DeLarge (pre-Ludovico Technique)
Spartacus
HAL
I just saw I missed an opportunity. I should have responded to your question, “Why are they fighting?” with, “It’s how they air their grievances.”
Looks like Lynch won this one back in 1999. Given the circumstances, a re-match would be pretty frightening.
A battle? To the Death?
I believe Kubrick already won. He got there first…
How about Feats of Strength…a good friend that I worked with took a promotion and is being transferred..go down to the pub with the wife..I drank 8 Corona over 2.5 hours. Didnt get home and need a pee until 3.5hrs in…
Your bladder was just stunned that you were celebrating Veintiséis de Mayo.

Saturday Morning Open Thread:
In astronomy news Saturn’s rings are slowly disappearing like Brandon’s brain cells.
But what if moons identify as rings?
Brandon: “I am ordering the Space Force to immediately start nuking some of Saturn’s moons. It has way too many and it’s unfair to other planets man.”
Space Force — on the payroll of Saturn — instead takes out a bunch of Jupiter’s moons, to widen the gap. KJP calls it a tremendous success in reducing Saturn’s moons.
WWlll has begun. Everyone get under your desks!
