NoClueBoy and Kn\*ckers, report to this thread. NOW. * * * Well, I saw the “First Flight” tidbit on a Trip site, so I don’t know how accurate it is. I’d wager it is, though. ---

Are **Kn\*ckers** and I the only Trek chicks? We sure are spreading ourselves among the rest of you. 😉 ---

Ooh, I’m tardy. Sorry, **viva** , for not reporting for duty on time. Tuesdays = bad. Are we the only Trek (Peep!) Chicks? My, we’ve certainly got our work cut out for us, what with the thin-spreading you mentioned. I have a very busy day planned - first, I have to go peck at some gravel, then I’m taking a dust bath. Ah, the daily grind. 😉 ---

Re: Molting it all off - there is nothing uglier than a naked baby bird. Nothing. W/feathers: cute fluffy little adorable cuddlies. W/o feathers: pathetic demon lizard beasts from hell. It’s one of the great mysteries of the world. ---

Dinos decided one day to start growing their own clothes. Then, while watching _First Flight_ on their time travel TVs, they decided to learn how to fly. Now, millions of years later, we have flying feathered dinosaurs. Tastes like chicken. ---

And flightless feathered dinosaurs. And feathered dinosaurs that TRY to fly, but just flutter about ten feet before smacking into a wall and getting caught by a farmer with an ax. Peep. ---

Flutter? How the hell can a dinosaur _flutter_? Hummingbirds _flutter_. Frenchmen jumping off the Eifel tower with cardboard wings _flutter_. Dinosaurs **SMACK**. Get with the program. ---

Well, I was talking about little chickens (one of many feathery dinosaurs). Which don’t flutter, really, either, but I couldn’t think of a better verb. ---

So what about the farmer with an ax? Where does S/he come into it? More importantly, what does my post have to do with Enterprise? ---
