I rekon if I were about 20 years younger,all family ties gone,nobody that would miss me if I were gone and if I were given a pardon for anything between now and the time I leave as far as debt was concerned i'd go. BUT, like previously stated, NO PIZZA NO BEER NO GO Grin

. Also, could you imagin the IRS trying to collect on you and you no longer live on the planet? Every 2 years there would be someone bringing you hate mail from those jerks Grin

Mike.....Guess I'll watch it on TV with a steady supply of BEER AND PIZZA Grin

Yeah, now that you mention it, a couple of specific ex-bosses and a few specific ex-co workers would make prime candidates, esp since they know each other. Let 'em get on each other's nerves instead of mine for a change.

When I was younger I heard Gerard K. O'Neill's plans for moon colonization. It all sounded eminently feasible. After all, Dr. O'Neill was a professor of physics at Princeton.

In an alternate universe we travel regularly to Moon Base O'Neill. In this one few people have ever heard of him.

A bad day at golf is better than a good day at work.

Now why would any sane person want to do that? Marooned with a few other nutters in a hostile environment for ever. I can't think of anything worse. Shocked

I like it right where I am on good old planet Earth thanks very much.

Domino's has locations everywhere else. If they won't set up a franchise for you on Mars you can at least hope for delivery...maybe Marvin Martian could be the deliveryman. Cheesy

and increasing their numbers daily. Whether we ship them or they ship us, there's some respite for a short while (sort of like the original Australian colony). To mildly state, overpopulation has its setbacks.
