Does HI have a brick and mortar store?

Hmm, maybe neon-colored fiber-optics instead of actual neon would be better. A bit cheaper, easier to work with, and it would stand up to the meteor showers better. That way you could flash different colors, too.

The sign could use some loud speakers as well. Ones that play the Intermission theme from Monty Python & the Holy Grail. Very festive. Or is there already an HI theme song?

I like your work on the projected moon color job. Very nice. That's thinking outside the box. Have you settled on a material yet? Paint, colored nylon tarps, or multi-colored, oxygen-producing algae?

Also, I propose moon-based nuclear fireworks to signal the posting of each new Deal of the Day.

(lol, this is fun!)

Take care.
 
it's probably time for our esteemed moderator to move this over to the Cantina for further project planning.

i like the fibre optics idea, we didn't have them back in the mid-17th c. when i was last there with the Black Duck. we need air for the speakers to transmit sound, so we'l need to put in a short range gravity generator to hold the atmosphere, tuning it to maintain the traditional earth-lunar orbital distance will be interesting, we might need to wait for technological developements for that one. don't want to affect the tides or cause any more earth quakes, the one in late 2006 when most of kommiefornia slid into the ocean and turned my desert property in arizona into beachfront was a mixed blessing. sale of a few plots enabled me to outfit the Black Duck with it's Gravity Drive and inertial damper system (one of our forumites here invented it) as well as the tardis engine. it also rid us of jane fonda. i'll miss a few of the blonde beach bunnies tho, and i'll miss some of the wines...unfortuneatley france got a big boost in that area for a while till global warming improved our wine yeild here in the UK.

i might be able to take a quick run to the future and bring some interesting technology back. we could always broadcast some magnetic waves to induce vibrations remotely on earth in metallic objects.

i suggest we use multi-color bio-electronic LCD shutter bacteria/algae combo to spray the moon, varying the voltages used to feed them via the mag wave sound broadcast should provide an interesting event as it will change the colors based on the theme song. DOD announcements could be done via a similar direct induction effect in the ionosphere causing an aurora effect simulating the visuals of a nuke without the side effects.

it's a good thing that our current Monarch here, HRH Anthony Blair 1st is a good friend of your Emperor George the 1st., it should help reduce our mandatory contributions to the official bribery and corruption payoff fund. oh, wait you've probably not heard how they got into power after Osama Bin Laudanum was caught eating a ham sandwich on one of them video out-takes shows....Teddey K. seems to be satisfied with being King of massachusetts along with his court jester JFKerry and his new wife Hilary. the Chappaquiddock car flume ride on his funland ranch is doing well with the kiddies, it was a brilliant idea of his to put michael in charge .
 
Yeah, this is cantina material.

I'll make a note to visit Arizona Bay in summer '07 before the resorts start popping up like fungus.

I like what I'm hearing, but I'll have to defer to others. All this future technology is making my 21st Century head spin. I guess, man can't handle knowing his future (except that part about losing Jane Fonda, I'm sure nearly everyone can handle that).

It looks like the future is pretty bright, actually. A decent Vin de Anglaise. And of course a large HI moon sign, with obligatory multi-color bio-electronic LCD shutter bacteria/algae, and non-nuclear ionospheric auroral DOTD signals.

Though, politics haven't changed. But can you tell me when the second American Revolution begins (and is it called AMREV-2?), and if the conflict is between the Republic of Free Citizens, and the American Democratic Federation of Imperial States? Am I very far off?

Anyway... Anyone have any other ideas? Have we missed anything so far?

(the Osama crack is priceless!)

Take care.

what a thought; could a private corporation get ahold of the moon, and place an ad on the surface for all Earth to see?

In a Robert Heinlein story that threat was used to help fund the cost of developing a private moon ship.
To a re-named "Coke" the threat was that their great competitor "7+" could put their whole name on the moon large enough to read from the earth. But if you buy the rights from us, we won't do that.
I think the story was written in '41 or '42...
 
'Krocnk, that last coloured version is pretty good, where does it originate?
