LunarDisney World - A Possibility! (was Lunar Prospects)

It wasn't me who suggested it in the first place, pal! Hah! I was just
following on from your sarcastic idea! So don't point no finger at me,
I'm innocent!

Anyway, what's wrong with Disney? (Aside from the fact that they can
take a book like The Hunchback of Notre Dame and completely miss the
point by making Quasimodo *cute*!!!!!) Incidentally, is everyone aware
that Mr.Disney is himself in cryogenic freeze, awaiting the day when he
can be revived and reconstituted into a gigantic machine of unimaginable
size and inconceivable merchandising potential? (Well, he is in
cryogenic freeze, anyway! Or maybe it's just his head...)

Which reminds me of the Walt Disney send-up in a Dr.Who Missing
Adventure called "Burning Heart" - Luke (and James, if he's read it yet)
will confirm the story is set on a pathetic little moon used as a
stop-off station, the population of which built a large theme park based
around the cartoon characters of Ralph Waldo Mimsey (who he?) in an
attempt at promotion. Needless to say, it was a complete flop, and the
moon is in serious financial difficulty by the time of the story - and
furthermore, Mr.Mimsey's head is being kept in a jar of fluid, screaming
"Kill me kill me kill me make the world go away please kill me..."

Now tell me Dr.Who isn't in touch with the real world! (Please! Tell
me!!) It's rather worrying, isn't it...

something about me!)

None of him, actually. He wanted to be frozen cyogenically upon his
death, but his family said "Sod that" and had him cremated. He wasn't in
much of a position to argue, being, well, dead.

Do I understand this cryogenics thing correctly?

You pay LARGE amounts of money so that when you're dead, your body gets
frozen. When they find a cure for whatever killed you (being hit by a
bus etc.) they defrost you and try and bring you back to life....

Who thought of this? Captain Birdseye!!!!!?????!!!!!!

Er...
Well, they freeze you when you're *nearly* dead. (In that book I
mentioned, Ralph Waldo Mimsey's head has been preserved until a cure can
be found for what killed him, namely cancer of the liver... oops! I've
spoiled one of the jokes in the book, ooh, slap-on-the-wrist...)
That joke's been done by some sketch show, I forget which one - but they
basically said all these people would indeed get marketed by Birdseye
Frozen Foods! The one joke I remember was "Enjoy our Rump Steak - but
make sure it's not Maggie Thatcher's, or when you defrost it she'll be
able to talk out of it again!"

Later, cheers, the Heart of Gold told space to get knotted, the above
rantings do not represent the opinions of One-Chip Solutions, etc...
(me, jump on the bandwagon? Never!)

You maybe innocent of this but I'm sure that I'll find something to pin
on you someday.
It developed the idea of cute-ness and then mass marketing it, the
vilest crime ever committed.
<snipped Chilard's bit as I haven't read the book yet>
You're right. Any person who travels round with so many nubile young
ladies and doesn't try to score with them is definitely out of touch
wiht reality.
It isn't..... you are
