Because “The Devil in the Dark” was not among the episodes of _ST:TOS_ that I have on video tape, I’ve just ordered the DVD of this episode from [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) **just** so that I can check out this line.

I hope you’re satisfied. 😛

Damn, it’s all manly and stuff in here. I’m going to have to start painting my nails and braiding you-all’s hair, pretty soon, just to compensate.

I find it more than a little amusing how quickly we run out of things to discuss regarding the actual episodes and digress into random silliness. I suppose we could thank the show’s producers for providing a trigger for us to entertain ourselves, but then the “Trek songs” thread suggests we’re more than able to do that on our own. Says something about _Enterprise_, don’t you think?

Now, now, this is supposed to be a pants-free thread. There was a sign at the entrance and everything.

You might think that not being able to find your trousers is silly, but not I.

So, the satellite feed said “Judgement”. Is that a Canadian spelling? Mr. Webster lists it as an alternate.

I’ve been meaning to ask you guys…Does the guy in back look like Tars? Not the blonde guy. He looks like kn(\*)ckers. The green guy in back with the snake.

Wait, **carni** - which blond guy do I look like? The one with the sword or the one with the really big breasts? I don’t actually look like either of them. I look more like the snake.

BTW - the artist needs to study human anatomy. He got the sword guy’s arm all wrong. Looks like his triceps is attached at the wrist. Plus he has weirdly short little legs.

And, sure, I’ll guess **Tars** looks like the green dude.

Ok, I got my Correct Spelling Phaser TM from Wacky Al’s Phaser Cutting Phaser Warehouse of Savings. Cheap and non flamable!  
Anyway, it seems that the spelling it **Judgement** is correct. It also says “_ **FOOLISH AMERICAN PIG DOGS AND THEIR INCORRECT SPELLINGS! THEIR HONORS, THEIR COLORS AND THIER NEIGHBORS! ITS HONOUR, COLOUR AND NEIGHBOURS. ARGH! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! BURN IN HADES FOR ETERNITY!** _”  
It seems to be posessed. But it was good for the price!
