How can Houston move away from being associated with the worst tag line known to man. "Houston, we have a problem". I hate NASA for this, besides lying about going to the moon.- OT, but What ideas can you come up with to rid the city of Houston from ever having to hear that every time we loose a game, or someone gets injured.. Discuss..
Just wait...JUST WAIT til one of these teams become dominant or a constant contender It's going to get WORSE.
The far more discussable thing is your fake moonlanding comment. Houston should feel lucky to have a tagline. Some places don't even have that kind of simple claim to fame.
It's posts like this where negative rep would be handy. Do you know where "Houston, we have a problem" really comes from? Don't blame NASA for its overuse. It wasn't some journalist trying to be cute the first time that phrase was uttered. Secondly, you really believe the moon landing was fake? Bahahahahaaaaa... Haters gonna hate.
You got to be crazy to think we faked the moon landing.. it would be theoretically impossible for thousands of people to be "in on it."
The thing is when Houston fans typically hear it is when there is something bad happening and the non-Houston commentator thinks he's being funny. Yao Ming breaks his foot for the 10th time. Houston we have a problem. The Bills cap the greatest comeback in football history. Houston we have a problem. Lidge gives up a 500 ft game winning blast to Pujols. Houston we have a problem. Man f*** you!.
All this stemmed from a recent Yao article that I read, and you are right.. I just wanted to say F*** You to every Commentator / writer that thinks that tag-line has never been used before... I love Houston Sports teams, but I am sick of it.
I wish the city of Houston had something to make it unique-In a good way.. I guess for now we will remain one of "the fattest cities in the world", and commentators will continue to give "liftoff" or "Problems". I swear I think Beyonce is the closest thing we have / had.
I love it, actually. It's like our version of "beat LA". I'd rather other teams hate us than not care. As far as your asinine fake moon landing comment.... <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FUI36tPKDg4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Moon Thing was a joke, but ok, lemme ask you.. So you think it was possible (in the 60's, within the decade of JFK's speech, with the tech they had back then, etc, etc..) to land on the Moon??? - we have more tech in our iphone than they had in a whole room back then. - Undisputed proof on original photos they took "on the moon" with numbers on rocks in the backround (indicating it was a set) - Original video evidence on the first transmission "to the moon" that they were "halfway" there- as they cut away you see the earth as if they were just orbiting it. - I will give them that they got to space, but no way they got to the moon. - NASA just recently announced they will not be able to go to the moon "again" till 20 years.. due to the lack of technology. -I understand that these points are very arguable, and to some people it it seems just crazy, but take sometime and youtube it. make you own opinions... Bash me all you want. But, I happen to work for company "XYZ" which gives me an even better understanding about how it was impossible.
Nope, and nope. I generally think conspiracy theorists are idiots, but I'm not angry about it. I'm more of a cutup. And Dad used to beat me at basketball but that's about it. :grin:
My dad used to beat me at b-ball too, but he played college ball. I dont conspire, I just don't like taking the Media's word for anything. As soon as you see even a shred of evidence about anything.. conspiracy turns into possibility. Like I said I've been "behind the scenes" in certain industries, and you learn that media is a propaganda machine. Did you know GE owns NBC?-Major advantage to that company. Anyway, intention is all that matters at the end of the day.
