Best weekend, indeed, can’t be mad after that.
Kima is effectively engaged.
I have been watching something different for me.
Riley Gaines inquisition and Candace Owens talks.
Both these women are very smart and very calm,
most of the time.
I love the expression of the Colonel’s face, a moment of BUWAAA???
Heh, yeah she said that! And seemed about to drop that bathrobe
as well! O_o And How Glass jumped at the chance to ask him before
he sprinted up those stairs.
Sounds like Kima was just made the Terran envoy here! Unofficially
of course. More so if cross-breeding is possible, it would show that
many of the races are compatible or not. Sure, lab test would prove
that too, but where is the fun in that? 😉 That can of worms would
of opened sooner or later anyway, this way he can stay there and
both learn from them and teach the Bunnies what and how things are
in the Empire. And it might help getting them to join up! Hugh Hefner
would be spinning in his grave about now! Or someone walking by his
grave would hear a faint voice crying out “sign them, sign them all!”
(Twilight Zone theme plays)
I think the theme for the Colonel should be something like
The Cannon Ball Express. He does a Speedy Gonzales upstairs.
You’re right Twilight Zone would be good for Kima’s scenes.
The late Hugh Hefner was the original owner of the magazine Playboy,
with all the girls wearing bunny costumes,
I can just picture how he’d react to the real thing…
Hmmm… I wonder if Marise is tall enough to join the navy,
she clearly wants to travel in ships, or the IMM. I’m sure
once things calm down and the final decisions are made,
she’ll want to go with Kima. If only to act as an envoy.
Short enough. The Navy’s height restriction is in the other direction.
With limited space aboard a starship, the smaller the better. Use less
environmental resources, as well. Cecialia (Cissy) can’t join the Navy,
as everyone must be space qualified.
Ah ok I just wondered, I’d hate to see those two separated due to regs.
I’m sure there’s a limit to how short as well, My wife’s best friend is
a dwarf, I think she’s only 3’8″. Sassy gal too, We went to a local
bar/lounge and she was dancing on the floor with us and several of our
friends and some stranger knocked her down, I was about to go help
and she straight up kicked the ass in the shins!! So I did the best
thing I could think of: Let out a loud belly laugh while pointing at
the guy, while standing between them. He stormed off 😉
Never pick a fight with a little guy. They have a lifetime of experience.
I had a short, roundish friend named Milkey once. We were in a bar and
a bigger guy was making fun of him. Milkey told him to knock it off.
The guy asked “And what are you gonna do?”.
Milkey said “I’m going to kick your legs out from under you and when
you’re my size I’m going to climb on your chest and beat the hell out of
you.”The guy started laughing, Milkey stool-swept him, and as soon as
the guy’s ass hit the floor Milkey wrapped his legs around the guy’s
waist, grabbed his collar with his left hand and proceeded to jackhammer
him bloody with his right. After a few long moments, he stopped, looked
down and calmly said “He’s had enough”, got up and walked back to the
bar as if nothing had happened. (Milkey was an oil-field rigger.)
I had something similar happen to me, I hadn’t met my wife to be yet, and had just
got dumped by a girl I was dating. So I went to a bar and tried to drown my mood.
A couple of guys I had not seen before, a couple of road workers I think, decided
they’d have some “fun” at my expense. they were at a booth and I was sitting at
the bar on my 3rd beer. I was already in a bad mood, and the big guy started to raise
a stink about a kid drinking at HIS bar. I had already been carded, this guy was just
being an ass. I just ignored him until he grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.
To that my mug went upside his head and once he dropped I kicked his buddy
square in the chest. My reward was the bartender smacking me in the back of the
head with his “shut-up stick” and threw me out. The perfect end to a really sucky day…
“Hippie commune” was used to describe the relationships the Catians have,
free love for all. Only with the Laporidae, the doe’s can’t get preggers like the
cats do, so they have as much fun as anyone could, until it’s pregger time.
Dunno why, but I had the impression Hyraxa was the oldest and Marise was the youngest.
Looking back, you never said that I found. In a way, I hope this isn’t Star Trek and
the word species really doesn’t mean anything because everyone can make babies together,
unless specifically engineered to not, like the Catians. I’m also surprised Does switch
to monogamy suddenly with fertility. Maybe that’s to keep the genealogy charts readable,
and “exploring” while already pregnant by your lifemate is still accepted or even
expected. Heinlein would approve.
In my mind it’s more of a stability thing, and the Doe making sure that
her kits would be well cared for. It’s not necessarily sudden, by the time
she becomes fertile she’s probably picked out her mate from the crowd.
Not a problem for Kima, before he went into space he had sperm frozen
and his tubes snipped.
Ships are generally well shielded, but still… there are limits on what can
be done, especially on smaller ships or fighters.
Usually, It’s a matter if the DNA is compatible or not, like Zebras and horses,
they are close to each other so it works kinda. But in the case of great apes
and humans, not so much. So Marise, being a prey species/rodent, and Kima
being part of a predator species/apes, it might take a doctor to tweak the
DNA to make it work. Like in Star Trek, Vulcans and humans can have kids, IF
a doctor gets involved. Humans have iron in their blood while Vulcans have
copper, its why Bones was always saying “you green-blooded SOB!”
Years ago the first study to compare modern human and Neanderthal DNA, which only
involved mitochondria and not nuclear DNA, seemed to indicate there had been no
successful interbreeding. Discovery magazine published an article by some self-declared
expert that compared the facial features and claimed our ancestors hadn’t interbred with
Neanderthal because they just looked too different. A rapid response I still chuckle over
said “You realize you are talking about a species known to mate with barnyard animals
and inanimate objects, right? -If- our ancestors didn’t mate with Neanderthal, it’s because
they -couldn’t-, not because they -didn’t try-. Of course, now we know that we, most of
us, DO carry small amounts of nuclear Neanderthal DNA, and that of another variety of
early human we call Denisovans, although it’s unclear so far if that was direct or through
interbreeding with Neanderthal who had already acquired Denisovan DNA. We don’t
have enough bones to know for sure what Denisovans looked like. I wish the Peking Man
bones hadn’t been lost. It would be interesting to know if they were Denisovan. Most
surviving Denisovan DNA and fossil fragments are from Asia and points east.
fossils – now we are in the ‘Conspiracy theory” zone.. i know of 3
different fossils, that are documented,. BUT no one knows anything
about them.. as in they disappeared. before they could examined or
cataloged. (common theory is, ‘they did not fit a prominent professors
belief, and was removed and destroyed.’ ( just like the “Busts” of
old, -are all white-. were actually colored,. BUT the leading
professor did not like the colors and had them ALL cleaned and
bleached,, “and that’s how they will be displayed from now on.”)
The last theory I heard about the cro-magnons and the neaderthals was the cro were
able to breed anytime while the neaderthals were based on the females monthly cycle.
That simple fact had a lot to do with the neaderthals survival, or lack there of. Several
great apes have the same issue, and we see the same thing happening to them as
well. Low birth rate and higher stresses on the species (including man) will cause an
extinction there as well. I found this: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/19428/neanderthal-vs-cro-magnon-whats-difference
look again,, (TGW-1115) there are 6 people there,.
and they are drinking wine. .. it would be very
uncivilized to drink whisky out of a wine glass.!
also Colonel, the ‘Captain’ is a minion here..
Hmm. After probably 7 or 8 times reading this, I just
noticed that Captain Glass is ‘John’ in panel 2, but in
episode 1115 he was ‘Jim’. Well, that’s what middle
names are for I suppose. My grandmother had a perfectly
normal first name, Nancy, but she always went by her
middle name, Wilma. Weird, at least to me.
Could have been worse, Wilhelmina, try saying that after
you passed the legal limit a long time ago heh. Maybe she
was a “Flintstone’s” fan?
(bang bang bang) WIIIIIIIIIILMA! (bang bang bang) heh.

Did he get an apology from the guy on the floor?
I doubt if anyone got anything from the guy on the floor for quite a while.

I am liking the thinking of these rabbit people.

not survive hanging out with the captain :{
