From Shemp: It was 45 years ago that I descended on to the earth plane. I think sometimes, that I may have pick the wrong planet!I would have to agree that he pick the wrong planet. Can anyone guess which one he should have chosen?

I like this. There are some more terms we can all share. I'll use them in sentence form for clarity.Ed Williams said:Since we're getting closer and all, it makes more sense for us to start using some of the same terms.
The very last thing I pay attention to when walking into a bookstore is any posters that might be in the window; I simply don't see them. I also tend to ignore posters hanging inside the store. That's not what I'm looking for, so I just don't look at them.ResearchGuy said:What I see displayed in the windows of bookstores I go to is not posters. It is BOOKS.

The planet was harsh and the government forced on the people there was authoritarian and arbitrary.

Very rarely, one could escape the planet; once out, they were very shrewd and tough customers. This whole story "resonates" with me when I think of PA

Hi Tarra, and welcome! I am an avid, daily reader of this thread and follower the whole PA -issue (not a PA author myself, though), so I recognise you from the PA boards. I have been to your website, too. I like very much the name of your first noveltarra74 said:Hello Everyone,
I have decided that it is time for me to come out of lurking. I am a PA author and so far I am happy with my experience with PA.

Maybe you, or anybody else for that matter, can help me remeber something, stirred by the "I'm with the Banned" slogan.

MartyKay said:I wrote a whole bunch based on a Harry Harrison short story (in the collection "One Step From Earth", all about Teleportation) that sounded a lot like you have above, and then realised you meant:
The Dosadi Experiment, Frank Herbert
One of the Jorj X. McKie stories (which to me were much better than the whole Dune series...), it deals with a planet much like as mentioned in the quote.
Ed Williams said:....I'm very sorry to have disallusioned you. In fact, instead of just sucking up to you like Dave just did, I've gone even further and composed a song for you that mentions Perry Como in a very positive way. You can read it on the "Lords Of The Prance" thread, and it's entitled, "Kick Shemp's Booty." (sung to the tune of "Shake Your Booty"). Let Dave top that! The link for it is right here:

DaveKuzminski said:Sucking up? No way! Everyone knows I speak my own mind. Not only that, but I own some Perry Como records. Yes, records and a turntable to play those on! Seattle is still the one song I liked best that Perry did. Of course, it drives everyone crazy when I follow it up with something from Metallica.
The barf bag, Ann? Please -- that would be unsanitary. We're buying them by the gross so everybody can have their own.Ann said:To me it sounds like that is what that whole thread is about....give me the barf bag, please.

Moe-Randa was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood to all her employees. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, Larry, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," Larry said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position, the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
Curlem shouted with excitement, "Cause yer feet ain't empty.?"
