Apparently, i am still cynical about the moon landings

I was having an argument with my girl fiend the other day.

Her "When will you start taking women seriously?"
Me "When NASA think enough of them to send one to the moon(and bring her back!)"

- This conversation did not happen (allegedly)

@Gruntboy: what about aircraft carriers? I loved that comment of yours in the good, bad, ugly thread!

@EMINEM-congrats are in order for keeping with the original tone of the thread.

@Tamerlane-I love that Passions show! It's the funniest thing I've ever seen, that doll is sooo hilarious, it just takes the piss out of everything that happens.

Aircraft carriers are *good*

--SUVs

--If a movie shows a woman's breasts, it will almost always automatically get an R rating from the MPAA, but if a movie shows thirty or forty people being hacked to death by a professional wrestler turned actor, it can still get a PG-13 rating

--Oprah and Dr. Phil

--According to the American Federation of Teachers the average teacher's salary in the United States in 1999 was about $40,000 per year. By contrast, the average (American) football player's salary was about $1.18 million in 2001. That's 29.5 times as much pay for playing a game than the average teacher makes for molding the youth of our country.

--Janine Lindemulder

--Americans invent lots of cool stuff. Unfortunately, often the inventors find out that no American company wants to invest in them so we end up selling patents to things like photocopiers and instant-developing film to overseas companies who develop the technology and sell it back to us at a tremendous profit.

--Microsoft

--American sports fans may be obnoxious, boisterous and rude, but at least we don't have soccer riots

-- CBGB

-- 14 movie channels for $7.99/mo.

-- Fox Specials

-- McDonalds, Arby's, Burger King, Wendy's, RaX, Hardee's, White Castle. I realize some of these enterprises have gone international, but they started here. It is amazing how much money and marketing has gone into creating the fat capital of the planet.

-- Hollywood

--Vivid Video

-- a military that tested LSD on its' own soldiers; of course, we might not be alone here.

You forgot Krystal, Waffle House, IHOP, Jack in the Box, Golden Corral, Long John Silver's, Red Lobster and Denny's.

--Vivid Video

Amen, brother, amen. And don't forget the 60" HDTV projection television to watch your Vivid videos.

However, we do have injuries occuring over who was first in line at the grand opening of a doughnut shop. Note: I'm Flanders, not Homer, so I have nothing to do with it.

--The Simpsons

So the FA was formed almost exactly the same time as American Football was being invented.
