I’m glad that putting on sunglasses doesn’t reveal wicked, anti-humanist propaganda concealed in ordinary signs and graphics.
42.2) Mice don’t ask difficult questions.
On edit: I AM thankful that Roddy Piper is here to save us all. Even Chuck Norris has to bow to that kilt wearing mofo.
Don’t worry I’m still trying to get that image out of my head shudder.
I’m just happy that the world didn’t end in August 10 years ago, although I could use a Cyberdyne system butler right around now.
The lack of an alien warship crash landing in the South Pacific in 1999 significantly reduces the potential of giant aliens attempting to sterilize the planet in the next year or two.
I’ve never once been stuck in the holodeck.
This is the only reference I don’t get. Can you give me a hint?
I think it’s a Robotech thing. Best explained here. Of course, I could be totally wrong :smack:
It’s Robotech.
Not totally wrong. More specific than I meant (I was including Macross and all spin-offs/remakes), but on target.
Ah, 1980’s Japanimation. That’s why I didn’t get it. Thanks.
I’m glad that we don’t have a pre-crime division of law enforcement.
What?
I’m also happy that governments aren’t opting for the death penalty for lesser and lesser crimes in order to execute people for the purpose harvesting their organs for transplants.
Oh, wait, I goofed on that one, too.
- I’m glad no Imperial Death Star has appeared to give a demonstration to someone’s ‘rebel friends’ of the efficacy of Imperial technology.
I’m happy that violent blood sports don’t dominate the airwaves and that corporations aren’t more powerful than governments. BTW I hope Houston Beats NY in the finals Go Jonathan E!!
I’m Ecstatic that Delorians haven’t become the vehical of choice for youthful looking time travellers.
Overjoyed that cat’s and dogs weren’t wiped out by a plague in the 1990s leading us to keep oversized super intellegent Apes around.
I’m greatful that the Eugenics war never occured and Kahn and his supermen never escaped Earth in 1997.
I’m also pretty darned happy I don’t have to Leave Earth on a converted WWII Japanese Battleship with only a year to get to some far off planet and back to save the Earth from deady radioactive bombs hurled by the Damned Gamalons…
I’m glad that Earth is not being quietly subverted by small numbers of either genetically-engineered posthuman slavers or megalomaniac lapine slavers.
I’m glad that I’m able to actually leave the matrix, should I ever choose to.
I’m also glad that I’m not pumped full of intelligent viruses that although highly beneficial to me also produce a world in which I’ll keel over and die suddenly around the age of 35 (from the Child Garden , in case you haven’t read it).
Lapine? Don’t get the reference. I presume you don’t mean “speaking the language of rabbits”.
I’m overjoyed that no one has yet worked out the Nine Billion Names of God.
It SOUNDS like a reference to the way-too-long Sluggy Freelance storyline where Bun-Bun (said “megalomaniacal lapine”) was a pirate in No-Time…
No, I can’t believe everyone’s missed the number one reason why SF should never come true:
JAR JAR BINKS!
