Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Here on the mighty GLoP Podcast, we were social distancing long before social distancing was cool. Usually by at least a few hundred miles. As you would expect, this one is a riff on a single topic: interpretative dance and its effect on western civilization. Nah, you know what the GLoP-heads are going to freestyle on this week. So, wash your hands, settle in and hopefully have some laughs on us.

At the time, I often heard the movie referred to as “Where Nomad Has Gone Before.”
Actually, it’s easier to… explain… Khan recognizing Chekov, than that they somehow moved Gamma Hydra and the Neutral Zone to be an issue with the Klingons, when “everybody knows” it was the Romulans. Supposedly when that mistake was brought to the attention of various people including director Nicholas Meyer, the response was, “Who cares?”
Star Trek II had opportunities for other call-backs too, such as bringing back Lt. McGivers. But they were all dropped for various reasons.
Ah, the venerable Mr-Myagi-cam!

Why the snark for the Federalist from John? Because they don’t irrationally hate Trump?
Both John and Jonah have taken their shots at The Federalist in recent years, apparently for reasons dating back to the 2016 election cycle. It’s not at the same level of disdain Jonah has for the American Greatness website over their support of Trump, but it’s hard not to miss that they see The Federalist as being totally in the tank for the president (and you’d think any website that’s run by Meghan McCain’s husband would be cut a tad more slack on being mindless Trump supporters).

Goes all the way back to: Star Trek: The Motion Picture! And used a LOT after that.
Well, well. They’re all over the place! From “wall machinery” to “transporter test cylinder.”
Because they’re strong and full of air, my mates and I used them to build a single use raft for a boat race.
Who is the woman?
Irene Adler?
Madonna as Eva Peron in Evita?
A Japanese actress playing Madonna as Eva Peron in a Tokyo production of Evita?
In The Simpsons Movie it goes farther:
Justin Long of Galaxy Quest was also the “I’m a Mac” guy in the “Mac vs PC” ads.
