I'm being followed by a moonshadow . . .
classicman • May 21, 2008 10:41 am
Is Van Morrison there too?

from a nasa page--a satellite orbiting antarctica caught the same phenom.

Shopped? How can you say that? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a genuine looking "shadow crossing the moon" shot? Hmmph. Here it is from another angle:

Wasn't that from Star Trek, you know, the movie where the Borg go back in time?

Van Morrison? Cat Stevens!
Clodfobble • May 21, 2008 3:01 pm
I have that song on my iPod right now, as a matter of fact.
Flint • May 21, 2008 3:04 pm
My sister was killed by Cat Stevens on 9/11.

Dammit, another SCF.

I like the song "Moaning Has Broken"
Clodfobble • May 21, 2008 5:12 pm
...

Um... I can't tell if my joke meter is broken or not...

You do know that song is named "Morning Has Broken," right?
Shawnee123 • May 21, 2008 5:25 pm
lol...yes. And your joke meter isn't broken, I was making a very unfunny joke!

My cousin and I heard that song in elementary school, it was the "soundtrack" to some filmstrip (you have to be of a certain age to remember filmstrips!) so we asked for it for Christmas. Grammy got each of us the album. I had no idea what a Cat Stevens was. :o

Perhaps you were thinking of Moondance.

Actually, I think that's a scene from Independence Day.
Sheldonrs • May 21, 2008 6:42 pm
Eh. I've seen lots of moons that appear to have holes in them.







And then i fuck them. :D

Fuckwad said Salman Rushdie should be killed.

That's no moon shadow...that's a space station!
HungLikeJesus • May 22, 2008 12:53 am
That's no moon shadow...that's an asteroid about to strike the earth!

(BTW, what's the difference between an asteroid and a hemorrhoid?)
spudcon • May 22, 2008 8:30 am
Asteroids are big ugly thing on your ass, and hemorrhoids are big ugly thi... never mind.
Flint • May 22, 2008 9:59 am
Oh... Moon Shadow ... Moon Dance. Never noticed that before.
classicman • May 22, 2008 10:44 am
Moon Shadow ... Moon Dance ... Dancing with the Stars ...
We should start a thread for that sorta thing!
Shawnee123 • May 22, 2008 11:00 am
I am of the opinion that we should replace anything that ends with "with the stars" with "with the has-beens."

Dancing with the Has-beens

Battle of the Has-beens

Battle of the Network Has-beens

Circus of the Has-beens
Imigo Jones • May 23, 2008 8:05 pm
Hear, hear! :) Furthermore, Shawnee, we should replace anything that ends with "Idol" :mad: with "Will-Have-Been" :neutral:.

American Will-Have-Been

Junior Will-Have-Been

GB original: Pop Will-Have-Been

Polish Will-Have-Been, Swedish Will-Have-Been, etc.

I'd like to see an FCC ban on ads from Oxwill-Have-Been and Mwill-Have-Been.

Hey, is that Sara Swill-Have-Been still on CSI?

Also, until China cleans up its earthquake mess, how about a voluntary, temporary network moratorium on news reports on the Been-Have-Will Lama? :3_eyes: :p
skysidhe • May 23, 2008 8:41 pm
I like Sara! ( would have been a good wife for what's his name)
I havn't watched CSI since Sara took a taxi out of town.
xoxoxoBruce • May 24, 2008 12:35 am
Don't forget, Sunday evening about 8pm EST, the Phoenix Mars Lander will be touching down. Here's the poop on how to see it on TV or the Internet.
Imigo Jones • May 25, 2008 2:00 pm

skysidhe, maybe good for Grissom, but would being Mrs. Grissom be good for anybody? :headshake
Besides possibly Lady Heather. Sara did, however, always seem to be under a strange cloud and in need of something, like the approval of an emotionally challenged man old enough to be a surrogate for the father who never made her his princess.
skysidhe • May 25, 2008 4:48 pm
good point

they were both messed up ...only Lady Heather had her head on straight.
Cloud • May 25, 2008 4:55 pm
I was sooo hoping for a Grissom/Lady Heather 'ship!
