    Thatā€™s not really a San Diego Chargers football uniform that Ox has onā€¦ heā€™s with the electriciansā€™ unionā€¦.and has a gig with the Power and Utilities Companyā€¦ Heā€™s now ready to go out into the fieldā€¦ to collect from angry customersā€¦ ā€“ Quillā€™s actually in a play called Everything! ā€¦ itā€™s a one man show, where he reads aloud stories from the newspaper for everyoneā€¦ you know, just in case they donā€™t have the internetā€¦. ā€“ I see G-man has earned a Nobel Prize for combined studies.. He helps launch astonauts into space, and he also made sure they ā€œrepresentā€ earth well, by making their suits.. That way, Klingons wonā€™t think that ā€œTerransā€ arenā€™t fashion conscious.. Thatā€™ll impress the neighbors from Cardassia, too! ā€“ And, of course Knute will land a gig on ā€œSesame Streetā€ā€¦ here he is demonstrating the letter "Z"ā€¦..

    I like the ladsā€™ dreams. Knute is the punch line, as the others are more or less practical. Oxford probably has a good chance of playing professional sports, though the way the football draft works, he may not get to choose his team. Gunther will have to persuade the Nobel Committee to create an award in math and sewing, since there is no such thing just now. Quill may have that ambition toward stardom, but must realize that very few, no matter how talented, actually attain it (although cheap, ersatz celebrity status is available today for those willing to whore themselves out to the gossip industry and supermarket tabloid press)ā€¦.

    Gunther wants to win the Nobel Prize in Math and Sewing. Sorry, Gunther, but they donā€™t offer the Nobel Prize in either of those subjects.

    And they never will. This award is actually for a single new field called ā€œMath and Sewingā€.

    Actually in math. Yes.. Sewing.. No. but the boy can dream.

    In actuality Quill will do quite well as a character actor. As those type of actors end up with more employment. Rather than always aiming to be a lead.

    I offer this Hollywood veteran. He was in ā€œA Few Good Menā€1992. Kevin Pollak was the the LT. that followed Demi Moores character around. A great supporting actor.

    Kevin Pollakhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001629/?ref_=tt_cl_t6

    He has stayed employed from 1984 and has projects going into 2015.

    Though Knute will either be just another guy asking you do you want fries with that or the next fast rising entrepreneur. Considering Crystal is his girl friend. I am betting on the latter.

    According to ā€œSheriffā€, we donā€™t get that kind of exposure hereā€¦. as far as ā€œpushing downā€, everybody uses their screens and reads in a different manner. Itā€™s not going to affect the order, just more ā€œscrollingā€, but this one doesnā€™t make it so that itā€™s too, too far down. ā€“ I agree itā€™s ā€œhugeā€, but really, a flag in theory is going to get them in trouble, when it could have been just an honest mistake, and the simplest thing could be just to post to them and just kindly, tactfully bring it to their attentionā€¦ and Iā€™ll just say I have reason to believe that it wasnā€™t intended the way that you think it was. ā€“ And I donā€™t think anyone would be flagging you or admonishing youā€¦ but if you donā€™t feel you should be admonished, (though maybe someone else could probably argue they too have the right to flag anyone they feel is in ā€œviolationā€, whether truly justified or not ), what about someone else? -

    Now itā€™s also my favorite. Moby and Muse have some interesting arrangements. ā€“ Speaking of which, I had just caught their performance on Palladia. I hadnā€™t realized synth tech had reached that level on an instrument (Chris Wolstenholmeā€™s bass that he used in that performance)!
