Sadly, I figure the auction value of such gems has probably gone **down** since the establishment of eBay. Now that everyone can get an instant picture of what Trekaphernalia are available nation wide at any given moment, the desperate yearning to have a certain piece “at any price” has doubtlessly diminished.

yeah, but add 25 years to their age, and that will make up for the price drop now. (plus we got all my mom’s old comics, including the first appearance of the Justice League of America)

Yeah…well, I’ve got an 8 by 12 glossy b/w photo of Kirk and Spock with the Enterprise. And a Jar Jar Binks watch. And a blue light saber. And a TOS watch with a little teeny Enterprise that serves as a sweep hand, AND it plays the theme song.

My brother has topped me for sheer geekery, though. He has a Star Trek MasterCard. And he’s not afraid to show it.

A friend of mine gave it to me for my birthday a few years back. Does that help? She did it just to torment me, see? Did you actually think I would have spent my own dough on such a contraption?

Yep, I’m reopening early, for next week’s “re.”

**Aes** , did you need this one taped? Did you get that last one I sent yet?

Still no tape.

All I have to say is…

**So this is where the whole stupid phaser cutting phaser thing came from!**

(pant, pant) (oh, sorry… earlier in this thread they said that this was supposed to be a pants-free thread. Ow! Who threw that?)

Anyway, foolish me. I thought that that silliness had actually appeared in one of the episodes that I had missed.

Nope. Just **Cplant** and his mastery of the English language.

It’s in the Canadian version, Mr. Smarty Pants.  
Ask Wearia if you don’t believe me.

i saw the Canadian version, all these Hosers were drinking beer, eh, and this Yosemite Sam guy told them to take off, eh, but they were like, “No way, eh!” and fried up some bacon, eh, but then they were killed by a beaver, eh.

They should have used their phaser-cutting phasers on the beaver.
