This is an obsession, Dad. I’ve never understood it. Never. Neither did Mom.

**Aes** , since last Thursday’s shows were reruns, I’m gonna tape new ones tonight and a new Joan to go with the other. I also put on a Frasier rerun that had a funny Trek theme running through it. Also got you the Xindi rerun so you can see it on a clear tape with no jumpies, and Jake was a rerun, so I will tape over it.

Shouldn’t that be: **Aesiron** : Ummm. Muuff?

So, **Aesiron** , you’re the male of the species from the same planet as Isis?

Muuff? What are you implying? :dubious:

I didn’t know Dr. John Carter ever had a wife. He dated Abbey and Dr. Lewis in the ER and a host of other women but never settled down. Maybe he’ll hook up with Gillian.

I meant a very vulgar reference to the fact that the “woof” sound would sound like “mooff” especially if Porthos was barking it while nestled in the … [sub]muff[/sub]. Maybe I’ve gone too far into the gutter?

_While y’all are very generous with your segues, know that you are pushing my brain cells to the limit coming up with these ripostes and I thank you for the witty workout!_

Wouldn’t it be a more fitting metaphor if Mars meteors penetrated Venus?
