What have we got : mystery

What have we got : mystery person ... tenuous connection to space ... outside of people's heads ... too obvious to give early clues ... an actor is less incorrect than the astronaut he played ... leaning in the correct broad direction with a classic SciFi writer who talked of The Moon.

I would chance Arthur C. Clarke. But that is probably too obvious. So no. I fear as his connection to space was rather substantial eg. suggested the geostationary orbit style for communication satellites.

So I'll go for Phillip K. Dick on the grounds that he had tenuous connections to many things, himself included. His SciFi is the stuff of legends eg. Bladerunner was a real gem. BTW Deckard was a replicant after all ....

Cheers, Mike.

You talkin' to me, replicant?
I hope not.
You know little of me here.
I am sometimes Bladerunner.
I am sometimes prot.
I shape shift and change to meet MY needs, and sometimes the needs of others.
I am a replicant, and a phsase shifter, and a mind bender, and many other things, as is my wont.

Some of you are obviously talking above my head. And this is obviously not the right post or person I am responding to.

I can just go back to kpax and you can pack your sneakers up hoping to catch a ride.
I could show you.........uhh, no.

You see........they banned me from Seti because they could not deal with the fact that..........I don't come from where you come from, Dr. Becker.

Thing I have said over time

Thing I have said over time and observations I have made have taken others by swideswipe. And so, I have taken a glancing blow from those that do not choose to understand or believe that I could be from other worlds than this one.
I choose to leave it at that, as prot does.
The movie has two endings.
Mine has many. And it is not mine to choose.

I have a place among the milky way and the stars the populate it.
Such a fine graveyard.

I could choose to have my body interred upon planet earth, thus staking my claim to have inhabited it. Interesting possibility.
Where I come from, there is some common knowledge that escapes some of you.
[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4XxWoKT7ks]And if this brings some of you intrigue or pain, I do not know.[/url'
Your little planetary searches joust at the stars.
And that is a wonderful thing, well noted by us.
Some of us are significantly interested by your search. And shall give it special notice.

I am going away for now, I may return soon, or not soon. It depends on my search, and the times waves that I am able to travel from time to time.\\
And time is not nearly what you think it is....

The fact remains......not one of you really knows who I am, where I came from, or where I travel from or to.
And I shall remain that enigma for all of YOUR time.
That is your problem, as it were. Not mine to answer to.
I can be your friend, but I could never be your enemy.

You see, I have no weapons. And I have no will to hurt.

I am kitty, hear me roar.

"I am Groot"...I like that

"I am Groot"...I like that quote too!

Hi everyone!! It is in the high 20'sF right now for me, but going into the low 40's later on when I fear the Washington Redskins will again prove just how bad they can be!! It's supposed to start raining on Tuesday and be in the 60'sF on Christmas Eve with a cold front coming in over night making Christmas Day in the upper 30's to low 40's!!!

YES THEY DID and we Redskins fans thank them VERY much, I think!! I HOPE it doesn't mean more problems though as RGIII played pretty well, he did make some mistakes of course, they have until May 2015 to decide if they are going to keep him and pay his 16.2 million for the 2016 season, or let him go and start over again!

The Niners were crushing the Chargers when I turned it off at the start of the 2nd half, it looks by the score I missed a VERY good 2nd half!! 8-(((
