It was actually worse than that .... a communal towel that was given a quick rinse with water, quick dry and handed back into circulation in the communal toilet where you all sat in one room staring at each other.

Isn't that basically the mechanism of how early complex cells formed millions of years ago.
First it was just basic cells ... they fed off one another and at one point ... one cell became incorporated into the other and essentially evolved into an organ of the cell ... like mitochondria inside the cell, isn't it basically thought that it was one it's own organism at one point and just evolved into an organ inside other cells.
Same with the human body. I think the estimate is that we are only about 50% of our own generated cells and the rest is just other beneficial cooperative bacteria our body has evolved to take advantage of.
So the Sarlac taking you in is just incorporating you into it's body for some function and keeping you alive to fulfill that role ..... you just happen to be conscious of it and unable to escape the entire time over a thousand years.
I insist with my Irish Canadian wife that we watch it every St Patricks Day ... she's getting sick and tired of it because she thinks its so cliche ... but once we watch again, she thoroughly enjoys it every time with me.
Yes, but now they are even weirder than before.
Fionnula Flanagan .... one of my favorite Irish actresses, she's amazing.
Played in my favorite Irish film ... Waking Ned Divine
I was totally blown away when I realized I had already seen her in TNG years before when I first saw 'Waking Ned Divine'
Ring of fire ...
+1 for The Chrysalids .... read it on English class in high school and loved it
They used to fire the shot gun randomly all over the place.
Now they fire it more in our general direction.
And they keep walking closer and closer to us with every shot.
It's a shot gun approach ..... they blast you at medium range with buckshot .... most of the little pellets will miss but a few will hit you where it hurts. Then they just keep blasting you like that over and over again until you bleed to death
This is like Satan offering you a glass of water in hell and everyone patting him on the back for doing something good.
For added entertainment they should sell a souvenir tear away t-shirt that you can rip off when you exit the polling booth.
It would put us all in a great environment where we could have access to our feces and an available target to throw them at, especially after a heated debate with some jerk.
They should create a communal toilet for all political discussions and public political forums everywhere.
