Hey, guys! Hey, guys! I just discovered I passed the 1000 post mark!

I know, I know, it pales in comparison to most of you-all, but _I_ think it’s exciting, so humor me.

_I_ is a new pronoun I’ve been working on. Do you like it?

For once I will agree with you. 😉 It is past the middle of the semester, I have graded hundreds of papers with horrors far beyond those committed in these threads, and I have been badly influenced/infected by said horrors.

But I will try to do better to uphold my standards.

Pick, pick, pick!

[note to self] Do not read Dope Trek threads when you have a headache. The feeling will only intensify.

Looks like the creature from Day Of The Dove, but I don’t think it “took over” bodies.

Hope you’re feeling better, **Aesiron** … Well, you said you were in another thread, but that might not be true anymore, over here.

Hmmm… the guest cast listing on **viva** ’s link has a credit for “Cook” - I only wish that were “Chef,” but I’m guessing it’s either another food-service dude, or a guy who’s actually NAMED Cook. The mystery of Chef’s identity remains unsolved.

I’m fine. It’s amazing what a medical cocktail can do for you.
