    Sure, the old preacher guy is looking for a room mate.

      Pick any planet/moon from Sci-fi movies/literature or in our solar system. I think living on a moon oribiting Saturn would be awesome. :) Marc

      I kinda like the look of Earth mark 2 from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'd tweak Norway a bit.

        Last week I was at a dinner meeting for local business owners and someone mention the most odd real name I've ever heard. It was something like 'Darius Thunderbutton' The first thing that came into my mind was "My name is not important." The only person who seemed to understand why I was suppressing a giggle was a guy Greg who is originally from London.

          Risa - from ST:TNG. Of course they had a similar planet in which Wesley Crusher almost gets killed from early on.

          Damn, not only do I know Risa, I know the other planet you are talking about, where Wesley disturbed some newly planted flowers and was going to be put to death as punishment?    Damn me for being a Trekkie... :P    Peace!

            Yep. I do believe some of the people were butt nekkid at the beginning getting oiled up. Although Risa was known for its shenanigans. :)

              I'd pick the pleasure planet "Risa [sp?]" from ST:TNG series. Nothing beats an entire planet of hedonistic women. :)

                Wow. I cannot imagine what you thought when you got to the big party at the end - There are more references to other Heinleinia there than in any three histories of 20th century science fiction. Spider Robinson said that RAH wrote Number of the Beast for six million of his closest friends.

                          Is that the Dreaming Void ones? I'd seen them, couldn't decide if I wanted to buy them or not.

                          Yes and definatly get it! It's great, it's a cross between scifi and fantasy because the one lot of people are compleatly cut off from the galaxy :) and it's still set in The Commonwealth universe :D just 1500 years on.

                                    If I get the technology, then I want to live on Sphinx in the Honorverse. This is assuming that they would have cured all the allergies I'm suffering with right now via genetic treatments to my ancestors. Also I want to be a captain of a heavy cruiser or maybe a battlecruiser. I'd like to do this a few years before all hell breaks loose and the kingdom has to go to war. That isn't to say I wouldn't fight for my country, but I'd like a few years of the relative peace of fighting pirates prior to all-out war. Also the gene-therapy of prolong would be nice.
