You think _YOU_ offended someone? I keep getting assigned minor characters! And the one person who accepted me as **Q** _threatened_ me with sanctions from The Continuum! Well, if I can’t be **Q** , then I will apply for **BabyQ** , **Trelaine**. But, I gotta be _some_ **Q**. I mean, think about it. I’m a trouble maker, I’m very interested in humans, I have great power with no morals, I’m arrogant, I change clothes alot, I’m constantly climbing into bed with different people, I like horses, I got stuck in a comet, er…, closet, I look good in period costumes, the list goes on and on… BTW, falling for a 3 yr old is weird, even if the species starts to mature at 1 1/2. “Hey, how was I supposed to know she’s only 2? she looks 2 1/2.” ---

Not quite apropos, but does **NoClueBoy** ’s behaviour in this thread remind anyone else of Bottom from _A Midsummer Night’s Dream_? Let me play the lion, as well! ---

I am both offended and flattered. ---

"Hey, how was I supposed to know she’s only 2? she looks 2 1/2."** I’m shocked that you should think so, Mister **NoClueBoy.** Perhaps we can agree to disagree. If you can see fit to overlook my idiosyncrasies, I’m sure I can learn to accept your interest in horses and “period costumes.” We could even “trade recipes,” if you take my meaning. You’ll…you’ll always be _my_ **"BabyQ."** ---

I reserve the right to recast anyone at any time. Okay, it’s settled: **NoClueBoy** is Kevin Riley–especially when he’s singing “I’ll take you home again, Kathleeeeeen…” 😃 ---

_You know what Joe’s mistake was? He wasn’t born an lrishman._ Sure, I’ll take the continuing role of Kevin. The play is the thing. ---

Cripes, so this is what happens when I’m away from my computer all weekend? Man, I miss all the fun! Cute thread, **Aesiron]**. I want to be Torres, just so I can be a big bitch and then blame it on my Klingon ancestry. As it is, the Irish temper thing only goes so far… ---

Most of us, unfortunately, might wind up being Barclay. Which, in and of itself, is darn scary. Legion of Barclay! Failing that, I’d give Harry Mudd a good shot. ---
