Well, my theory is the Ringworld is God’s wedding ring that he threw away after his divorce left him a single dad. But we will see how my theory plays out, they are about to land or dock with it.
If the guys ejaculate, what shall we gals do? Dare I ask?
Aes, I sent your tape this morning. I’m filling another one so it’ll be ready to go out next Th. morning. I almost put Joan of Arcadia on it, but decided not to. 
Some spoilers here for an episode that sounds interesting. I just hope they don’t “Tuvix” the poor fellow:
“Archer: Phlox looks at me and T’Pol and sees sexual tension. Of course he’s going to look at a corpse and see brain activity.”
Actually, Joan was pretty good. But I still didn’t think Aes would care for it.
I think it’s time for one of my little ENT teleplays. I wrote about four of them in these threads last year. And Kn*ckers always enjoyed them. Maybe it’ll bring her back!
Will have to do it tomorrow, though; not enough energy left tonight.
Actually, I watched Joan of Arcadia last night and was going to ask if anyone else had today. I liked it… assuming it doesn’t get cancelled, I’ll probably watch it regularly. What about it made you think I wouldn’t like it?
Because Joan of Arcadia doesn’t have any naked Hoshi in it?
Which order should I read 'em in? Should I just jump right in and start reading Ringworld cold, or should I read Tales of Known Space first, or what?
Here is a simplified Known Space chronology. This site has some details.
I would start with Ringworld. Even tho it is far off in KS, it’s the best of the early stuff.
Abby says, “Hi!”
Lots of new stuff.
Say Hi to the Pak!
Bibliography. Many Known Space works are not even Niven. He authorised others to write stories set in Known Space.
After Ringworld, read the anthology Tales of Known Space. Sometime in all this, you must read The Mote In God’s Eye. Not part of Known Space, but an amazing tale of it’s own.
Did I miss anything?
Ummmmmm…'cause you’re an atheist?
Sorry, shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions. I figured later on that you might like Amber Tamblyn, however.
I could tape it next time to help fill up an ENT/Jake tape.
Already read Mote in God’s Eye. And i have the Crashlander collection i got for $0.10 at a bookstore.
I, too, am most decidedly in the non-theist camp, but I can still enjoy movies and TV shows with a decidedly Christian worldview. Like the two Left Behind movies they’ve made so far. I approach such films the same way I approach the X-Men: they take place in an alternate reality where God/the Antichrist/Mutant powers really exist and follow their own laws. Just because I know there is no way on Earth a genetic mutation can give you optic blasts or teleportation doesn’t mean I don’t root for Cyclops or Nightcrawler. (Or Cyclops’s brother Havok. He was always my favorite. He had that whole terrible-power-I-can’t-control angst thing going for him, and wasn’t afraid to get all mushy with girly mutants.)
Gotcha.
I haven’t seen it either. I was out of town last week and wasn’t in the hotel room on Wednesday night. I was expecting there to be a repeat broadcast this weekend, but it doesn’t appear to be on the schedule.
I didn’t really read the thread, because I didn’t want to spoil the episode; I saw I was referenced via a vanity search when I got back into town, and skipped right to viva’s post to respond. So I don’t know if the episode sucks or what. I gather osmotically, though, from the context of viva’s post, that it probably wasn’t very good. I’m so surprised all the hair on my head shot out and stuck in the walls of the living room like tiny little spears.
Without a rebroadcast, I don’t know if I’ll get to see this before the rerun. In that case, I’ll wait for the inevitable bump in a few months to comment.
What tracer* said re: (a)theism. You do remember that my user name comes from Norse mythology don’t you? God(s) can be entertaining.
Havok? Pft. Everyone (if everyone is defined as me) knows that Nightcrawler, Collossus, and Archangel were the coolest X-Men.
And you actually liked the Left Behind movies? Are you a masochist?! I admit to reading the first eight or nine novels (I got tired of waiting for the next installation and lost interest by the time it was released) but gah… the movie was ten thousand times worse than Star Trek V: The Final Frontier ever thought of being.
Is it weird that my aside is longer than my post?

Heh. What’d I tell you, viva?
