You weren’t really reading the articles before you were born? I should think not! ---

Yeah, I had trouble believing that, too, **a35362** … I thought maybe his mother was just very dedicated to teaching him to read at a young age. But if so, she chose some odd literature to start with… ---

no, i found Playboys that came out before i was born in the basement of a house we moved into. but it was post-Tars’s birth. Not that it mattered to me that those women were probably pushing 40 IRL. ---

All I ever found in basements of houses I moved into were mouse droppings and rotten cardboard boxes. I feel so cheated. ---

Well, you can come out if you want, but I should tell you that we sunk your lifepod to the bottom of the ocean, so if you come out, it may be a little… soggier… out than you expected. ---

Oh, c’mon! How was I to know that the Klingon ships we targeted had super duper disruptors and transporters that could work through shields? And I’m telling you, I was just making sure the lifepods _worked_! I wasn’t abandoning you guys! ---

Popcorn, Banjos and Playboy. Yep, this is definately an Enterprise thread. ---

:eek: Dang…I just got back from the wages-filching casino a few hours ago, and I return to One Scary Thread. Somewhere on those Federation ships there’s a Vegas-style lounge act and we just haven’t seen it yet. ---

Yeah, **Wearia** , we do seem to have strayed from the point, a bit. But then, that’s about par for the course, Enterprise thread-wise. I’m trying to imagine an Enterprise scene featuring banjoes, popcorn and Playboy. I think it would go… something… like… this: _Archer enters Engineering, and interrupts Trip, who is fiddling with some blinking doohickey thing near the warp reactor_ Archer: How are the repairs going? _Trip is startled, and drops some heavy metal thing on his toe_ Trip: Ow!.. Well, the refried coriander assembly is re-juxtaposed, but the pantaloon partical flux is still jumpin’ around like a scared jackrabbit. I ran a diagnostic, and the catalytic converter’s runnin’ fine, so that can’t be it. I figger it’s gotta be the- Archer: I don’t care. Trip: Oh. Archer: I came to tell you I got the latest Stanford-Duke game sent over by Admiral Tightpants, thought you might want to watch it with me… Trip: Water polo, sir? Archer: Do I have any other interests? Of course it’s water polo! Trip: I don’t have time - my banjo recital’s today; I have to go get ready as soon as I finish here. Couldn’t you ask someone else to watch it with you? Archer: But I don’t have any friends! I can usually depend on you for this sort of thing, because of our co-dependant semi-homoerotic relationship!.. [_suspiciously_] Wait a second - I thought you played the harmonica! Trip: Well, I did, but the writers didn’t think it was redneck enough for me. They’re developing my character. Neat, huh? Hand me those microcalipers, wouldja? Archer: When are we going to mention the popcorn and Playboy? Trip: Oh, I dunno. This is dragging on kind of long, and I think Kn\*ckers is getting bored of writing it. We might not get there. Mayweather: Anyone seen my pocorn and Playboys? Trip: Whew! We made it! Archer: I think Hoshi has them. ---
