"make sure you are looking at the sky"

... to the constellation Leo the Lion
Be sure to watch out for Harry the Horse, Donald the Duck, Cleo the Camel and Tux the Penguin while sipping your cocoa!

Whoa, time to go to bed.

I thought the title said "Leonard Nimoy Shower Observation Tips" I could feel my eyes trying to rip themselves from my sockets. Whew, thank god for second glances.

the 18th?

Wasn't the shower supposed to be on the 18th when this originally posted or did one of NASA's borked computers realize the universe stopped again and they failed to tell us?

I am SO on to them.

All very good advice

But, alas, it misses out the vital ingredients:

1) Invite ladyfriend along
2) Bring blankets (can get a bit chilly)
3) Bring whisky (see 2)
4) Remember rehearsed "Isn't it beautiful, the depth, the colours. Alas, still not a match for your eyes" lines and other "romanticisms"
5) Bring protection (see 1 + 4 + 3)

You know it makes sense.

At last somebody has filled in the plan:

1) Invite friend to geek event

2) ???????

3) Get lucky!

Very Cool

I try to never miss one. Grab yer girl and go out and watch. In the past it's not failed to get me laid. Unfortunately, this year I'm going to be at work, so I'll get to watch, but without female companionship.
Everyone feel sorry for me now.

You would think...

these things would happen in the middle of the day so we didn't have to wake up at three in the morning to see them!
