I still have my appendix, but I no longer have my wisdom teeth or _vas deferens_. ---

I am missing my tonsils and adenoids (if that’s the correct spelling) but have everything else that wasn’t cut off when I popped out o’ my mama so far as I know. ---

Those would be altoids. I rewatched this episode. Did you see the part where the last surviving Avian is talking to the Aquatic about the problem with their intake manifolds? When broken down like that, it makes so much sense now. ---

Here’s the twist that no one’s speculated about yet regarding T’Pol. She’s Romulan, not Vulcan. 😃 ---

Well, if I remember correctly, alcohol is also toxic. Perhaps, in very small quantities, Trellium-D is an intoxicant to Vulcans. If done well (though I’m not holding my breath) it could be a good episode on addiction. **NoClueBoy** , was it the part where Travis brought the jar marked “Abby Normal” to Phlox? (Trip: “Nice knockers” T’Pol: “Sank you very much”) Well, I have some good news. I finally have a job. It’s contracting, currently scheduled though the end of this month, almost certain to be extended for another month or two with a small possiblity of long term. It’s pretty dull so far but it pays well. ---

> [@Ghostwind](#): > > Here’s the twist that no one’s speculated about yet regarding T’Pol. > > She’s Romulan, not Vulcan. 😃 Egad, brilliant! And she falls in love with Tom PARIS who goes in through a time warp and runs away with him, causing Romulus to launch 1000 ships to hunt her down, starting the human/Romulan war! It will make billions! ---

Good for you, **Linus!** 🙂 Okay, I’ll get around to Act IV again some time today. By now the prize will have dwindled to the level of dehydrated water. ---

If done well (though I’m not holding my breath) it could be a good episode on addiction. [spoiler]Possibly but I still think my lead analogy is better. Or maybe mercury instead. After all, this is an element that causes madness… not something that is ingested for a buzz. And you know this will just be a rehash of the AIDS episode if they do it. Apparently, Vulcan stoicism is only a myth and they’re really Bacchuses or something.[/spoiler] > [@](#): > > Well, I have some good news. I finally have a job. It’s contracting, currently scheduled though the end of this month, almost certain to be extended for another month or two with a small possiblity of long term. It’s pretty dull so far but it pays well. Good job. I’m still looking for something myself. I was offered a temp job this Thursday but since I’m reliant on my roomates to get me places (the bus system here runs only thirteen hours out of the day and not on Sundays at all) and they’re not going to be here either this coming Friday or next Monday, I had to pass on it, which sucks. Hopefully, the background check I am having run on me right now for an INS job will come back clean (I’ve never commited a crime but my job record isn’t what you would call stellar) and I’ll be able to get the position there. $10 an hour, Monday through Friday with mandatory overtime on some Saturdays, insurance, and paid federal holidays. That would be really, really nice. ---

**Aes** , I should be able to send you the latest ep. of Joan as soon as I put some more new stuff on the tape, probably later this week. I’m including last night’s SNL only because it has a spoof called “The Passion of the Dumpty.” ---

Not as interesting as my idea, but it sounds entertaining nevertheless. Can you tell me when in the broadcast it is? I don’t want to have to … y’know, actually watch the show to try to find it. ---

gah, they could have done anything ridiculous and made it a Passion parody and it would sound better. Passion of the Barney the Dinosaur, Passion of Big bird, Passion of the Spock, Passion of the Klingon. All done in Aramaic, Vulcan, or Klingon! Or Passion of the Papa Smurf, Passion of the Optimus Prime, Passion of the Guy who likes being whipped and is enjoying it, Passion of the Pokemon, Passion of the Robocop, Passion of Enterprise threads… ---

> [@Aesiron](#): > > Passion of the Spock? :eek: > > I though \*\*viva \*\* was the only slash afficianado amongst our merry little group. Well, there was whippings of Kirk and Spock in the Nazi episode. I could just edit those scenes, dub it in Klingon, and make billions!!! ---

It’s only about 10 or 15 minutes into the show, so just fast-forward it until you see the Saturday TV Funhouse animated bit. ---
