Are you sure? I think you'd know too

It taste's like chalk, or so I've read.

Please use her full title from now on. It's Special Correspondent Michelle. Consider this a warning.

Very Special* Correspondent, more like.  :



(Note: I am referring to her frightful tediousness here, not her sexuality.)

[zeebo]

all right..night folks...dont...blow things up

have a good weekend

[Nobody]

The first science fiction story Hoagie ever read was printed using wooden blocks.  :

(Uh, oh: reverb on Skype.)

[adomol]

Hoagie should get Michelle's thoughts on pan spermia.

He probably will

[Sandra Kristen]

Just because we don't like Michelle doesn't mean we shouldn't honor her preferred pronouns.

[Étouffée]

Wow Hoagie reference to a Clarke reference back to Hoagie.

Yep, the Hoagie mobeus self-referential thing.  I heard a hint of a smirk in the Doctor's reply that "Clarke was gracious about acknowledging everybody".

[Nobody]

That shopworn Pioneer plaque story of Hoagland's is total bunkum.  Hoagland was with Eric when Eric made the suggestion, yes, but Hoagland did not actually make the suggestion himself.  :

[Sandra Kristen]

it was on the sopranos  lol

Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee

[zeebo]

Hoagie was just making fun of Lubin's Starshot idea for being too simplistic, now he's mocking them for being over-ambitious. 

Which of course leads into another Sagan story.   :

[norland2424]

Nice, I didn't catch that ... perfect comment haha.

We would have been kicking ourselves if Hoagie hadn't nailed that plaque onto Voyager.

"The Milky Way is fully connected, biologically."  - this guest

[Sandra Kristen]

We would have been kicking ourselves if Hoagie hadn't nailed that plaque onto Voyager.

Is that the one Christians threw a fit about having drawings of naked people on?

[Sandra Kristen]

lol Hoagland no longer cares about the face on mars

[zeebo]

We would have been kicking ourselves if Hoagie hadn't nailed that plaque onto Voyager.

I hope his broadcasts w/ Cronkite are on there to impress the aliens.

[norland2424]

Is that the one Christians threw a fit about having drawings of naked people on?

yes you cuck

[Sandra Kristen]

yes you cuck

Of course you'd be the expert on porn. Space porn. Space Jizz.

[norland2424]

lol Hoagland no longer cares about the face on mars

i think its a composite of his own face too

[adomol]

Is that the one Christians threw a fit about having drawings of naked people on?

Yeah, those drawings were fit for an issue of Hustler!

[Sandra Kristen]

i think its a composite of his own face too

So THAT is what Hoagie looks like without a beard

[Nobody]

We would have been kicking ourselves if Hoagie hadn't nailed that plaque onto Voyager.

I wish someone would give Hoagland a damn good kicking for trotting out that utterly false Voyager plaque story again.  What an utterly despicable man. 

[Étouffée]

I hope his broadcasts w/ Cronkite are on there to impress the aliens.

They're probably snickering along with us right now.
