Let me know specifically when and where that event will occur. I'll bring kerosene! 
Nice spot GeeMack, I admit I couldn't force myself to read the lot. I'd like to come and help, but the time and dollars for the trip to Canada (assuming his profile is correct) make that an expensive proposition.
A second point, anyone who has that much data on such important work in just a single hardcopy form, deserves to lose it!

That's not very altruistic of you.
Don't you want to be remembered as the Man Who Gave Us Flying Cars, just like Nostradamus is known for bringing us the Horoscope, and the Prophecies? Or Ian Flemming who gave us the Vaccine, even though it was an accident?
. . .
Ian Fleming gave (sold) us James Bond and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Maybe you meant Alexander Fleming, who gave us not a vaccine, but penicillin?

I suppose pointing out the development and subsequent scrapping of the Canadian built Avrocar (Avro-Canada VZ-9AV Avrocar) would be piling on?

Sorry! I'll try to think of a way of doing that over, with humor next time. Problem is, I'm in a humor slump. Trying to force out a new story right now, while hoping the effort won't be too mechanical or formulaic. Maybe that has out me in a nasty mood. Nothing like humor to get someone really pissed off, especially the author.

You might try adding more fiber to your diet. If you add enough you won't have to force anything out.

It's harder to get them out the way I do it, but once out, they are much more solid. Of course, they often remain crap, either way.

Jumping across the Grand Canyon would certainly loose its appeal. I have always said "We don't need flying cars." But I would not mind that 4-D TV that the exhaust fumes produce. I mean a TV that has time literally bent within its LCD display! That is cool! |

Indeed, Ghost. Flying cars would be of benefit only to mortuaries and salvage yards. The human and mechanical carnage would be horrific.
And this is nothing new; it's been done ad nauseum before. Here's a google on them, and I remember this one from the early '50s. There was quite a to-do about it at the time.
Don't use kerosene to start the fire; it will make the hot dogs and marshmallows taste bad.

I gotta admit that I'd stopped reading when I first realized the fellow was fully psychotic. I see you found some even better stuff, Neur. How could I blame you for laughing at this poor, and possibly dangerous, nut, when I'm laughing so hard, myself?
Hey, maybe he's spoofing us. If so, he's good.

He is good. He is not the best writer in the world but so far out there is doesn't even matter. I highly suggest reading the whole piece (in tiny portions and with a sense of humor to prevent the qualm of rationality). There is some seriously funny stuff in there.
Edited to ask: Would a flying car piece in Moonscape be in poor taste, or in violation of copywright (he relinquishes all right within the post). You could probably out do him. |

No, I suspect the best I could do would be to clean up the grammar and syntax a bit. I could do nothing at all to improve the hilarity of the piece, or his wonderful sense of the ridiculous. The guy's good.
