Funniest/strangest planetary flavor text

It looks to me like the planetary flavor text is randomized still like it was in Elite, which provides for some funny or strange combinations. Anyone have a good one to share?

i.e. This world is very well known for it's inhabitants ancient loathing of discos and the Esustiian spotted cat.

Upgrade before ship swap or after?

Way back when all I ever flew in the original Elite was the Cobra MK III. I don't even know if you had other viable options in Elite. It's looking like there are some other ships I could try to make good profits here in oolite and I'm considering buying my first non Cobra to fly. It'll be a little w...

Absolutely. Get it. Flaunt it... :wink: ... The Military Booster doubles it by half as much again... hhhmmm... I don't think that quite makes sense... :? I think what LittleBear meant was this. Adding a Shield Booster doubles your shield strength (shield x 2). The Military Shield Enhancement t is a...

Blue circle thingy?

I'm guessing this is from an addon but I've added several at once and am not sure what it is. Can someone identify this?
Thanks!

Migrating save from 1.65 to 1.73.4

I want to bring my 1.65 save game over, I copied it from the old one before updating to the new version, putting it in the folder C:\Program Files\Ool...
