That’s the second time in the past couple of months that you’ve made a crack about cracks.

You…

On a more serious note, did you see that we have more posts and views on _Cafe_ except the Matrix thread?

Q. Ya know what “Teutonic” means?

A. Not enough gin.

**Kn\*ckers:** The only good part of those scenes in “Minefield” was Malcolm “I’m afraid of wawa and I gotta go pee” Reed’s behavior.

What? No bright yellow available in the color scheme?

Oh wow man.

Winona Rider _and_ Aliens!  
I’m in heaven.

Get this, we have a party to go to tomorrow and I don’t want to go. Not really, anyways. Neither does gf. Why are we going? you ask. I don’t really know. We’ve got stuff to do and places to go to and people to see all weekend. But, we’re going to this one because… I don’t know, really.

Oh yeah! _ **The swimming pool!** _

1st official pool party of the summer!

Yeay! [splash]

Hey! You got my phone wet!

Just for that…

CANONBALL!!!

SPLASH!  
Dammit. Now my phone’s soaked.

You really shouldn’t mix narcotics and alcohol that way. Oh, wait, you said codin **g**. Well you shouldn’t mix that with alcohol either.

Vodka, definately. Not my first choice, but better than gin. I can get much the same effect by licking a pine tree, then banging my head against it.

[Unabashed self promotion]  
**Aesiron** , I think of this as _Cease Fire_ Part Deux, now with more Linus! 😉

You bring back fond memories of the first month of my becoming an Enterprise reg, **Linus**. _sniff_ Brings a tear to me eye, it does.

Barkeep! A drink for the pianist\*, please! Put it on my tab.

Hello. Back to the OP, I like this show. Honestly. And I enjoy all the Treks except the last half of DS9 and all of Voyager.

I guess because I don’t take its mythology so seriously, I let my mind suspend disbelief and go with the fantasy. Just think: our lifetimes could be used to build the foundation for that depicted generation, if only we could get our heads right!

gives a shit about makeup. Feh

Bah, you don’t like DS9. Your opinion doesn’t matter!

Seriously though, I’m a huge Trek fanboy and I suspend my disbelief as well. Hell, I even like The Final Frontier and Nemesis 'cause the former was so bad that it became good and the latter 'cause it had **ROMULANS~!** (even if the main villain was a human clone and most of the aliens were Remans, not their Romulan masters) as the antagonists.

The only time I get worked up is when they take some really basic tenant of the franchise (like the Borg being unknown or the Klingons having browridges in the 22nd Century) and totally screwing it over. Otherwise, my brain just goes on auto-pilot and I enjoy it for what it is: escapist fantasy.

I’d seriously love to live in the 24th Century. I’m that big of a geek.

No, you misunderstood me. There’s only so much Bashir simpering and Cardassian shoe-pounding a guy can take…

I don’t think it makes you a geek, not to patronize. I just think you’re a little more in touch.
