    He couldn't science his way out of a wet paper bag

      If you go to the dictionary and look up 'buzzkill,' there will be a picture of this guy in the description.

      From Wikipedia:
      "Other notable buzzkills include Alastor Moody (Brendan Gleeson), Eeyore, Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Axtremus."

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Man, that was cold on Christmas Day.

        Funny as hell, but cold.

              Well, what about gender?

              And physics...

              And....

              But, "Godspeed?" Really Neil?

              Is it possible that Rudolph self-identifies as male anyway?

                  I for one am upset that he uses an irrelevant biological feature to make assumptions about gender.

                    By the way reindeer is delicious. I had it a couple of times in Finland. As a steak and as a burger.

                        You know those conservatives - they're very sensitive about people saying funny stuff on Twitter.

                        I was only joking

                            TBH, I was never a big fan of Tyson, but I didn't think his Tweets were particularly egregious.

                            There's certainly a lot worse out there.

                              I don't think it's really all that awful, either, I just think it's a dick thing to do.
