You’ve seen Mother?
Is Mother predjudiced against the Asteriskites?
Well, I’ll tell the others at the big secret meeting, and then Mother will be sorry she ever crossed us.
What do you mean you didn’t know there were others? There ARE others, I tell you, LOTS of others. You’ll see! You’ll be sorry you ever doubted me!
Okay, then.
Mother doesn’t usually let me play with people who have secrets.
I think it’s exciting.
Do I get a secret decoder ring?
Is there a handshake?
You sound like you’re in your 30s.
Another favorite Grandpa Simpson quote: “I used to be full of piss and vinegar. Now it’s mostly vinegar.”
carni: I could explain the secret handshake to you, but you have to be very flexible to do it. Why do you hink ms. twages does all that yoga and Pilates?
It’s all about the handshake.

Dammit.
Kn(In my head, I always pronounced it with an “i”)ckers, before you show anything to him, I’d make sure you meet his mother first. But only if you take a group of large men with you when you do. And whatever you do, if he suggests that a quick shower might be a nice way to freshen up, run!.
Don’t knock the blanket, BTW.
My little sister had a blanket just like that.
hink? hinky? 
Durn right. Last year I was wound up so tight(ly) that I couldn’t even manage a simple shoulder-stand. Now t’ain’t nothin’.
Elasticity, yes. I’m just being careful not to do any yoga-ing of my tongue, 'cause I don’t want to wind up with a tongue like Phlox’s. <–ham-handed attempt to return thread to Enterprise-ing state.
Never mind.
Kn*ckers: You being a young’n like myself makes you cooler. 
I was beginning to think I was literally the only twentysomething Enterprise Doper (aside from maybe Tars). Not that there’s anything wrong with that, though… most of my friends online are five to fifteen (and in some cases, twenty or more) years older than I am. 
Linus: I read some post of yours somewhere that you mentioned doing something twenty-five years ago or somethin’. Until that point, I’d assumed you were about 28 or so too. Again, not that I mind. viva’s pushin’ forty and she’s probably my favorite Doper. ducks tossed shoe 
sniff What I’m basically sayin’ is that I love all you guys… even tracer. Group hug!
viva, honey, you KNOW that tongue comment is going to get you flak from the fellas, don’t you?
Just making sure.
Bah, I overlook the obvious joke to compliment you and I get ignored. Hmph.
I’m all befuddled now, learning all the TrekDoper’s approximate ages, because they’re never even close to what I thought.
I give up. I KNOW you’re all fifteen, IRL, so just stop makin’ shit up, 'kay?
Gah.
Kn(seriously wigged out. Need to go home.)ckers
I have a learner’s permit.
still ignored
weeps like a little girl
I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before, but…Aren’t Vulcan MALES the only ones who go through pon farr ? Spock mentions this in “Amok Time,” Tuvok goes through it in VOY, and Saavik tells it to David in ST3.
So why does T’Pol have to deal with it at all? Only for the Panda’s sake?
I’m still waiting for Kn*ckers to thank me.
(On-topic, I’m not sure if it’s ever been said for sure that it’s only a male thing. Granted, T’Pring was rather reserved in “Amok Time” but I don’t remember there being anything said about only the male gender having to endure it.
Also, since Vulcans are betrothed by a mind-meld at like seven or so, wouldn’t their minds be linked and pon-farr be shared?)

Missing K that much? :dubious:
nah, I’m going out with the stripper
