Great news Doc! Ask them to install x ray eyes on the next go round.
Thanks, fellers. I honestly can't remember the world being so vibrant in colour. It's a minor miracle.

Also, as I was waiting for the surgery to start, I had the thought, what if the lens being implanted allows someone to see everything I see, that I would become an unwitting spy on myself. Not quite x-ray eyes, but in the ballpark.
Sounds like an episode of The Twilight Zone ;)

The fact they're singing about the destruction of rock and roll at the hands of manufactured, overproduced pop, yet they're deliberately performing it in that very style.

Ahem, as a representative of Big Optics I must inform you, that you really shouldn't be spreading this sort of disinformation.

We'll be watching. ;)

This argument is still like people rationalizing Trump's evil senility as 53-dimensional chess.

That Marconi guy ain't so smart.

Take two wires, then take one away and what you got?

A wire less. Easy.

I heard this at the grocery store last night:



Same LP as We Built This City (I believe).

I found to my dismay that it was kind of catchy in a cheesy 80's way. I also might just have been nostalgic for the simpler times of 1986.
