MemberOvomorphApr-03-2012 1:32 PM1st of all, please accept my humble apologies for my absence of late...I have had many things happening in my life which have been keeping me quite busy not the least of which hasd been my Internet Nightmare & Dilerma.
The story goes like this.
About 2 months ago, after 12 years of frustration wiht overbilling for my internet connection I decided to Dump the Canadian Internet provider {I'm in Montreal, Quebec} named "VideoTron".
I signed up with na company called B2B2C.CA and on 5 seperate occassions for which I took the day off from work without pay, the assigned Bell technicians did NOT show up between 8 am and 5 PM on each occassion I stayed home.
Long story short, about 1 hour ago, my nightmare finally ended and I got myself set up with a new provider at home.
The ONLY thing I can compare my excitement for this film to would be the birth of my first child...this...coupled with the fact that I am going to be 50 on June 15th...has had my mind in a state reserved only for ROCKETMAN and SCI-FI FILM JUNKIES. So you can imagine my withdrawl symptoms not being able to get on the net from home.
As a result for taking sooo much time off from work I eventually lost my Job...but it had more to do wiht me not taking an6y of the bullshit the the booss was suddenly hurling my way seriously enough to want to stay...I am worth much more nthan he evidently realized at the time.
So, here are some things I just could NOT WAIT to share with all of you guys while
I have been away
#1-Ruhyani sent me the most awesome gift...yes...another one...it's home made and I took a picture of it for you which I will posty as soon as I transfer it from my cell phone a bit later today...I think we should find a way to mass produce these puppies, we'd make millions...and he is the coolest IMO...lol.
#2-How Many times exactly does Dallas say "Knock It Off" in Alien?
#3-I never really got why Lamberts idea of squeezing everyone into the Narcicuss "wouldn't work" according to Ripley, after re-watching Alien about 79 Billion times these past 2 months it certainly looks to me like there was enough space, oxygen I donlt know but space absolutely.
#4-Parker, has far better hearing then everyone else on board the Nostromo...he actually hears the Alien Howl as they drop down to LV-426 to begin with...and so do we.
#5-Why for the love of g-d did Ridley Scott and Giger & the 3 stogges plus the Fox Suits decide that the Derelicts signal interval should be "12 seconds" and not "10 seconds" instead?... Doesn't the Ancient Astonaut Theory suggest the creatures that influenced earth worked of the decimal system? Or whatever that multiples of ten thingy is called?
#6-Regarding the Derelict...It represents the One Question created by the film Alien I have that I want an answer to more than any other in Prometheus...perhapas even this new films very last images and sounds...Has the Derelict's signal been "Screaming In Space" for the past 33+ years???????
THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW!
I'M BACK FINALLY
CHEERS.

MemberOvomorphApr-03-2012 1:44 PMConcerning #5, if I follow your logic they would have used 8 seconds. One of the oldest counting systems, used by the Harapan culture of the Indus valley was base 8. We also have many instances of base 8 from the ancient world including the musical octave that was inspired by the number of the heavenly bodies. I am sure I could think of other instances.

Veteran MemberMemberOvomorphApr-03-2012 11:32 PMCongratulations on the your new spawn! I hope you find a better job....as for the Bongtakular Maxi Toke, it was not my invention but I'm glad you like it. I got the idea from a guy a know who built one to help him get off crack. This idea should be free...they are so easy to make yourself. Prosperity is generosity it's self!
