I’ve been trying to get the thread back up for “The Breach” because I think they’re doing a double-header this coming week, but so far ain’t got nothing but “Website not responding.” Will make another attempt.

In the meantime, check out this perverse vineyard verse:

[ignoring **Linus**]I love the internet.

Tonight I was bored and had nothing better to do so I watched some show on NBC called “Dog Eat Dog” where people are paid to do stupid stuff while getting wet in skimpy clothes. Being a 21 year old male, I was obviously a bit intrigued by the concept and decided to watch and found one of the contestants to be downright yummy. I rooted for her and she eventually won $5,000. Whoo.

Anyway, hours later, I was bored again since the Dope was slow so I decided to fool around with some search engines in the almost infinitely small chance that she would have pictures on the 'net somewhere and I somehow found some screencaps. Whee!

I love the internet[/ignoring **Linus**]

Fellini, actually.

Remember, the protagonist director _was_ making a science-fiction movie in _8 [sup]1[/sup]/[sub]2[/sub]_ .

You _do_ remember, don’t you?

Besides, you see, if I were really a _Star Wars_ geek, I would know to respond to **Linus** ’s feeder line above by saying, “You’ll be _dead!_” except I’m not so I don’t.

See?

**Cervaise** , the fact that your explanation makes aboslutely perfect sense scares me more than I care to say.

However, I don’t believe you. I personally think you were trying to avoid the arm on the floor covered with ketchup because you know how hard it is to type movie reviews in that condition.

Rent _Evil Dead 2_ and watch for the scene where the rampaging cut-off hand is scuttling around the floor. Somebody finally slams a bucket down on it to trap it. Then they put a book on the bucket to weigh it down. And the book is…

_A Farewell to Arms_.

That’s worth the rental right there.

Malcolm is the tactical officer on _Enterprise._  
He does not rent “Evil Dead”.

What, you don’t remember the following exchange between Archer and Malcom in the water polo episode?  
ARCHER: “I’m watching water polo. Care to join me?”

MALCOM: “No thank you, Captain, I’ve rented _Evil Dead_ and it’s due back tomorrow morning, so I need to watch it tonight.”

ARCHER: “Right. Phaser-cutting phasers.”

Oh… I thought Quantum said “Which way to the armadillo?” to which T’Pol (not Malcolm) replied “A suffusion of yellow.”

You can see why i was confused.
