**Aes** , I’m gonna put an Outer Limits on your tape Sat. and mail it Monday. It will be full by then. ---

Swank. Is it adaptations of the original series? I used to love the ones that came on Showtime in the mid to late nineties but haven’t watched them in years. Love your sig, by the way. 🙂 PS: Everyone sucks for not wishing me a happy day of birth. I didn’t even get a crummy card for the Great Bird’s sake! I see how it is now. Hmph. Just wait until the next time we run across an Orion Slaver ship. Just wait. ---

What **NoClueBoy** said. OK, fine. You want birthday wishes a little closer to the actual day, I wish you and your (less whiney) clue challenged compatriot the happiest of birthdays. May you both get a naked singing telegram from Hoshi and T’Pol. ---

**viva** ’s forgiven since she’s sending me a birthday present of some sort; **cplant** is forgiven for looking so cute in that dress; and \*\*Linus \*\* will be forgiven if he has Hoshi come by twice and have T’Pol stay at home. I still intend to sell **NCB** , **Corner** , and \*\*Wearia \*\* to the Orions though. That should be enough for a down payment on one of their girls. Totally off-topic: **Tars** , check out [this](http://pub64.ezboard.com/fhomeofthewhopperfrm16.showMessage?topicID=364.topic) thread at a message board I administrate.

I got your present today, \*\*viva \*\* and I love it… it’s awesome. The card was great too. Those damn weather balloons! [Front](http://sheldonstreet.com/pictures/mug1.jpg) and [back](http://sheldonstreet.com/pictures/mug2.jpg) of my present. 😃 ---

Drink up–or down, depending on your mood. 🆒 Glad it arrived. The Outer Limits is from the third incarnation that was on in the 90s. Don’t know which episode. I was gone at the time it was taping, out at the movies seeing **Monster**. :eek: ---

Happy belated birthdays **Aesiron** and **NoClueBoy**. So much for wanting to have it closer to the correct space-time coordinates. Can you forgive me if, instead of helping you on that down payment for a Green Orion Slave Girl, I arrange for a star of a signficantly lesser magnitude to bare its breast on international TV? ---

> [@tarragon918](#): > > Do you think it was Shran or Talis who sent the encrypted information to Enterprise?! My money’s on Shran … for now. 😛 That’s my guess. I think he sincerely sympathizes with Archer but has his duties and loyalties as well. I also thought the visual gag where you saw Shrann’s antennae over Archer’s head was funny. A cheap laugh, but a good one. Xindi Happy Fun Ball must be like the One Ring–it resizes itself to its owner. 🙂 Maybe I’m just too easy to please, but I really like Enterprise so far. I liked Voyager too 😛 ---

Hey, all: **Aesiron’s** pissed 'cause he claims to be the only ENT Doper who likes Reed, and Dominic Keating sent ME an autographed b/w photo with a personalized note on it. 😃 ---

Silly, Bakula can’t write. Nor read. That’s why he’s always furrowing his brow or giving the “who farted?” look. He’s trying to remember the line they just gave him. I have a tennis ball with dried Porthos saliva on it. 🆒 ---

No, but he is by far the greatest portrayer of Lieutenant Malcolm Reed that the world has ever seen. Aes, I thought you wanted Hoshi. Your tape is on the way. It’ll be easier to fill up tapes now that Feb. sweeps are in full swing. ---

Wait, no… scratch that last part. That wouldn’t exactly be something you’d hate. What I meant to say is that I only want their autographs to brag to you about how I have them and you don’t.
