What did they say? I was too afraid to listen to it.

That was the coolest thing I've seen in a long while

"Our cousins will be arriving in 2286. Don't be alarmed."

There's a "Holy crap!" and a pretty muffled "Holy shiat" near the end. That's it as far as I could tell.

Yeah, translate that shiat and figure out the language. It could save us a lot of temporal incursions.

That's funny, I just watched that the other day on Netflix, the first Voyager episode I watched in like a decade. It actually made me respect the show. A little.

Year of Hell is one of the better episodes. I'd also recommend Blink Of An Eye and my favorite, Living Witness.

Lucky for the men humpbacks eat krill or that fishing rod would've helped the whale catch dinner

They always remind me of pickles with those bumps.

Sweet jesus. I'm sure that's an experienced diver, but damn, that would terrify me. I got freaked out when I was canoeing in Florida and got nudged by a manatee, simply due to their size. I cannot imagine what being in open water with a 40? 60? ton animal would be like.

Niveras		2012-08-10 11:49:19 PM

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias was "Oh no, not again."

Maybe it just wanted a chup

Whales are smarter than you.

You just didn't know that yet...

Well, as long as there wasn't a flowerpot anywhere near it.

I sense shoop.

LadyMech		2012-08-11 12:09:28 AM

Surool, I love it.

I don't suppose anyone could photoshop some water wings on the little guy/girl? Yes, I know they are bad, but the picture cries out for them. Or maybe just little bows on the fins.

Listen, just because their giant brains can compute outside space and time and they exist interdimensionally doesn't mean I'm going to let one borrow my favourite coffee mug.

Very cool. Seeing Grey whales in Baja is on my list.

bigstoopidbruce		2012-08-11 12:36:34 AM

I think whales are awesome, but that would have scared the crap out of me.

The "Jeezus" in that context might also offend some particularly sensitive religious people. (I am not one of those. And I barely register turd-based expletives as rude anymore. So there's that.)

/Yay for desensitization.

Two thumbs up. For a third thumb, make them pink with white flowers. My daughter has floaties that are pink with white flowers, so she would like that.

//location of third thumb is dealers choice
