Another Near Miss . . .

Tara Conner, Miss USA 2006, is in danger of being dethroned. It turns out that the 20 year old beauty queen likes the night life and likes to drink.

Of course, the judges should have known that, when for the talent portion of the competition, she was able to chug 64 oz. of a beer-like substance from a funnel and hose contraption while keeping a spoon hanging on her nose. And while the other girls were putting Vaseline on their teeth and touching up their hair, Tara was looking for a breath mint.

Here is a picture of her with the reigning Miss Universe. Tara Conner is on the right:



She seems a little distracted. One of the lighting crew must have mentioned going to Hooters for lunch.

You know, I like to kid around here at Escape Velocity but every now and then we hit upon a very serious subject. Most people, especially young people, don't appreciate how their present actions can affect their future lives. They don't appreciate the fact that other people are looking to them as a guidepost for their own futures. And, in their quest for momentary fun or pleasure, they sometimes unwittingly give their enemies the opening to do them harm..

I am, of course, talking about Tara Conner -- future mother of John Conner, the only man who can prevent The Rise of the Machines. Even now, the cyborgs of 2029 are searching their history for the perfect moment to send one of their own back in time to prevent the birth of John Conner.

Next week, Donald Trump and the Miss USA pageant organizers are going to meet to determine Tara Conner's fate. Ironically, it may already have been decided in 2029.

And what if one of Tara's drunken, lost nights in the Big Apple has already resulted in the conception of John Conner. Is The Donald justified in protecting the dignity of the pageant and a money-making franchise? Will the cyborgs from 2029 find . . .

Excuse me a moment . . . what? . . . Ohhhh! . . . It's Sara Connor . . . and that's Connor with an O . . . and I'm a big . . . Hey! Wait a minute . . . Haven't you ever made a mistake? . . .

Well, anyway, under-age people shouldn't drink. It doesn't matter how smokin' they are.
