I don’t know what’s going on most of the time, but I never let a little thing like that stop me.

Who are you?

_grimacing with immense psychic effort_  
Nnnnyyyyeeerrrrrggh! Must…stay…on…topic. Must not mention love of cheese, Utah, or **viva** ’s adorable habit of making a line of dashes under quotes…

As I recall, there _was_ no shirtless Travis this week, was there? I remember seeing Blue Suited Travis, and Less Conspicuously Attired Travis, but I believe both were completely shirted. This is a puzzlement to me, since the transformation between the two would have been a perfect opportunity for the reintroduction of Topless Travis\*.

\*No relation to Topless Hoshi. See, they have the same first name, but different last names. Like Yogi Berra and Yogi the Bear (who weren’t related), but NOT like Herbert Hoover and J. Edgar Hoover (who were sisters. I think). And this is not a hijack. It is a parenthetical clarifying statement, from which the parentheses have been removed for the sake of lucidity. No need to thank me.

Yogi Berra is not related to Yogi Bear?

But they look so much alike…

</div>

if they were both Chinese, Topless Travis and Topless Hoshi could be brother/sister (but not spouses, since the women keep their last name).

And to keep it on topic, they could also be Bajoran.

Poor **Kn\*ckers** …Since you were denied your undies-peek-of-the-week, I am providing below a link to a comic strip featuring same. Scroll halfway down after the frames load.

Better luck this week, perhaps? I hear our boys are going spelunking. (I’m sure **Aesiron** thinks “spelunking” is something naughty.)

“Once you have their money, you never give it back.”

I misquoted.  
Contract is no. 17.

Well, that would depend on what sort of orifices you’d be exploring. ;j

Well, Mayweather and the fam didn’t give us very much to begin with…Oh, you mean the _off-topic_ stuff.

Topless Travis is okay, but I prefer Topless Hairy-Chest Archer.

No matter what anybody posts, **Aesiron** can find a kernel of Something Naughty within it. That still doesn’t explain the Orthodox Jewish smilie, though…

> Enterprise is asked to evacuate a group of Denobulan geologists from a world that has been taken over by a militant faction, and since they are located deep underground, the effort requires some treacherous spelunking by the rescue team. Meanwhile Phlox faces a dilemma when another evacuee, an Antaran afflicted with a fatal dose of radiation, refuses to be treated by a Denobulan because of very old bad blood between the two races.

Okay, you know things are getting desperate when you rip off a Voyager episode. And a Neelix one at that!

I’m going to pray for basketball this Saturday.
