[from _Nemesis_]  
Picard: “Fire at Will.”

Riker [eyes wide open in surprise] : “What the hell did _I_ do?!”

Quantum [furrowing his brow into the shape of a _Kwispy Kreme_ donut (with lemon filling!)] : “Oh no…”

Ewan McGregor as Catcher Bloq : “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Sorry, man, just calling a spade a spade.

But I wasn’t the one who compared you to a weenie jackass. Sounds to me like you’ve got low self-esteem. You want to talk about it?

That’ll be 90$ an hour. You can book an appointment with my secretary.

Remember, Aesiron, “If you don’t pay, you don’t get better”.

Kn(\*)ckers, what is the significance of the asterisk?

\<Re-reads all the posts where **Aesiron** tried to compare me to loathed and reviled characters\>

\<Attempts to find some sympathy for Aesiron\>

I’m sorry captain, but if such a phenomenon exists, it is in such miniscule amounts that even our most sensative equipment cannot measure it.

Hey Kn\*ckers, I think you’d better make sure you schedule some of that time for Anger Management.

No sweeter a taste that you could find than fruit hanging ripe upon the vine. There’s never been an oyster so divine… a river deep that never runs dry.

The birds and the bees they hum along; like treasure they twinkle in the sun. Get on board and have some fun. Take what you need to turn you on.

Boys, boys in the girl’s room… girls, girls in the men’s room. You free your mind in your androgyny…

[_shakes fist at **Linus** _ You posted 'fore I could! :mad:]

Did you guys know that **Kn\*ckers** is only 22? I would’ve guessed she was 28 or so. :eek:

Hmmm. I don’t remember ever mentioning my age. Is it the way I write? Here, let me try again.

Yo, wassup. Gonna show my l33t skillz, d00ds.

Oh, the heck with it. How old _do_ I sound?

Note to self: Lie about age in future.

Actually, I’m 154.  
in cat years  
I thought **Linus** was about six. I think it’s the blankie thing.  
**carni** : Re: your asterisk-significance question. Damn, am I going to have to address this again? _Sigh_  
It’s a Monty Python reference. The \* doesn’t stand for anything particular in my mind (I never say Kn\*ckers out loud, so it doesn’t have to), but if you want to make up a letter or letters to replace it, that’s up to you. If you’d like to read more, go find the MPSIMS threads on the subject, from a couple weeks ago.

Hey, if you leave part of your user name ambiguous like that, you must expect peple to inquire.
