McKay destroys 5/6ths of a solar system, or a 10 billion dollar supercollider, whichever comes first

McKay destroys 5/6ths of a solar system.

Okay, actually, the world's largest supercollider has been damaged. But it seems the sort of thing McKay would wreck early in his career. "What do you mean, it wasn't designed to run fourteen hours at a crack? What sort of shoddy workmanship is that? Just what do you get for ten billion dollars these days?"

In other news, I am completely hooked on The Ventures. If you ask nicely, I'll upload one of the tracks not listed on their album, which I think is their best. "The Cruel Sea" is far too short.

wow, I have that album on the original vinyl. We played it until the tracks were worn off! I still have it though I have no turn table, and I'm sure it is warped beyond use.

It's fabulous. I only wish I'd found them sooner (credit [livejournal.com profile] rabidfan).
