Yeah, but the one in the East is in Quebec, which means you can only use it to access websites in French.

It appears to be a sentence fragment.  
Quite common. \<----acceptable use of fragment 🙂

**Tars** : That’s pronounced “E-squared.” It’s supposed to be “Classic Trek,” whatever that means. We’ll wait and see.

Just saw this one last night. I’m apparently one of the few people that hadn’t read any spoilers about the episode. For the other few people that haven’t also:

How many of us figured out it was a ruse when Archer mentioned the “bloodworms”? I mean, Phlox mentions them almost every single episode.

I had bloodworms last week. Always cook your pork. My mistake was taking a big bite while the pig was still running around the barn.

All right, it sucks!  
The concept that TV time is the same as real time fellates with great allacrity!

There, are you and your @#$%^&\*! fragments happy now?

Now, that’s the kind of post that makes me wish there were more female “regulars” around here to take some of the heat off of me. There’s **tarragon** and, um…Well, there was **Kn\*ckers** –bless her, wherever she is.

I blame the free bar food, amaretto sours, and lack of sleep I had last night. Those combined can make your synapses fire in interesting ways.

You were a cop. No hijinks. I didn’t even steal your pants.

Well, just re-watched this week’s episode and UPN had the previews turned up to the MAX! And it was -all- about the **PANDA!** Seriously, they showed at least -four- previews of the show this coming Wednesday and naturally all of them were the sexual innuendo.

And **Aes** , you need to be cautious with those Amaretto sours, me thinks! 😃

This is probably the wrong thread to mention this in, but when TOS was first on, I was in HS and had a -huge- crush on Spock. 🙂

Pft. In High School, I had crushes on both Daxes (especially Ezri, whom I still worship) \*and \* B’ellana.

The really freaky part? I didn’t think Roxann Dawson was really all that cute under those brow ridges. :o

I wonder just how far they can/will go with the Trip/T’Pol deal. If Spock was supposed to be the first successful joining of human and Vulcan (was he really, or is that just something we figured out along the way?), then T and T won’t be able to reproduce, or it will all go tragically wrong. Why am I thinking this far ahead? Can’t help it; must have been the Pandapromo.

## Aes, I will tape the repeat of “Stratagem” tonight and get it off to you tomorrow. Full tape this time. Will start another tape soon.

ENT Doper Esoteric Knowledge Quiz:

1. Who coined the term “Panda”?

2. Who came up with the phrase “phaser-cutting phasers” ?

3. Who recently named the “Xindi Super Happy Fun Ball” ?

* * *

I only know the 3rd one for sure.

Survey says: 2/3  
Nice try though, you some lovely parting gifts. A Quantum action figure with ale drinking action, and a T’pol with auto inflating floatation devices.

I finally saw the episode by the way. Quite good too. Althought, I couldn’t understand why Archer had some of his hair in the little ponytail and the rest of is thrown about his face. I mean, I know you’re trying to look shabby, but have some respect for yourself.

I thought Panda was **elf6c**. Where’s our Trek Doper FAQ? I lost my bookmark with my upgrade.

It was **EnderW24**. I checked an old thread before answering.

That’s no moon …

Oh, and I believe **Wearia** also had a hand in coining the immortal words “phaser-cutting phasers.”

Bragging rights.

I think **tracer** may be right about **Wearia’s** role, however.

**Ender** , where the heck have you been lately?  
P.S.  
UPN actually showed FIVE promos for “Harbinger” during tonight’s rerun. It was Pandamonious. They’re no doubt tired of my persistent nagging. Now if they’d just run multi-promos on Wed. nights, I might stop bugging them. But not for long.
