In the same vein, sadly, David Tennant is not going to suddenly pop up and kidnap me into a London police box.
I’m glad that Farrah Fawcett(-Majors) isn’t trapped on an isolated research station on Saturn’s third moon with an 8’ tall, gleaming chrome homicidal robot. I mean, hasn’t that poor woman suffered enough?
What?
I’m glad I didn’t have to eat tree-of-life at around forty years old and turn into a wrinkly, sexless, xenophobic, paranoid old biddy.
Oh, wait.
Well, then, where’s my super intelligence?
Communism never conquered the world. Nor is the Soviet Union even around.
Giant asteroids have yet to lay waste to the world.
A time travelling grandchild has yet to show up and murder me.
I’m also glad there aren’t any gun-spewing anti-sex propaganda spouting giant flying stone heads around. Also, I’m not at risk of running into a diaper wearing Sean Connery.
Give him a couple of years…
Well, as long as he wears PANTS!
Aye, you’d like THAT, wouldn’t ye, Trebek?
We haven’t been overrun by those damn Klingons, Kryptonians, Martians and others of that ilk. It’s bad enough that our jobs are outsourced to other parts of Earth.
I don’t have to worry about going back in time, stepping on a cockroach and coming back to find Hitler won Warld War II.
If I had simply put on the hood of knowledge, I wouldn’t have gone to college and learned about sex, gambling and drinking.
I don’t have to waste my money on a book called To Serve Man only to find out it’s a cookbook.
I’m glad that radiation doesn’t produce spectacular terategenic mutations, “only” cancer and weakened immune systems.
I can’t believe everyone’s missed the number one reason why SF should never come true:
SPANDEX JUMPSUITS.
(ETA: I know that it’s practically a forum law that any time someone says ‘I can’t believe everyone missed x’ someone upthread has already mentioned X. Feel free to quote the X I missed back at me.)
So far, the giant ants, grasshoppers, tarantulas, and fire-breathing Japanese monsters produced by underground atomic weapons testing have failed to make themselves known.
Mars does not apparently need women after all.
Heh that’d be the OP then, it even comes with a handy dandy photo guide
Dude, I carry a telephone and a tiny computer with me whereever I go. Science fiction has become reality.
Considering your name, I would assume you are the luckiest person alive :D.
Wow. I suck tremendously. I think I got distracted by the robot part of that one and missed the jumpsuit bit entirely.
Well, technically a lot of the stuff in the OP still has time to happen.
I’m kind of happy the moon hasn’t gone hurtling off into space, yet kind of sad we really haven’t had the opportunity to try.
I’m pleased to not be a living battery for my robot overlords.
- Earth has yet to be destroyed in order to make way for a hyper space bypass.
