I like Chuck's version better than the original. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Beam me up, Scotty!

AG3Y.. yep, she agreed to come.. after all, Mom's tend to support their sons even if they don't understand what they do! (That's what Mom's do! :D

Plus, thanks to her being there I can claim I played before an audience... as long as I don't mention HOW many were there!

<grin>

P.S.. CD's will be available in the lobby for $6.95. Get 'em before they are gone and all I have left are 2 cassettes for $5.95 that show up on late night infomercials.

Then it has achieved its purpose. I wanted to add a little levity. I'll be cutting back on it in the future, but I am reserving the right to use it occasionally. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[ai4ep]

http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I have it narrowed down to one of 3 options why SCOTTY does NOT beam him up:

1) weak batteries in communicator

2) wrong sideband he is on lsb other is on usb

3) he dont WANT to beam him up !!

Wasn't it old Doc McCoy who said, &quot; I don't want my molocules scattered all over the universe ! &quot; # or words to that effect? #What an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy! #Kind of like some of us O.F.s here on qrz.com !

Hey! I just thought of something, instead of being referred to as O.F. , maybe we should be referred to as O.F.F.D. ! Whatcha think ? ? ?

McCoy never did like the transporter, that's for sure. But my favorite thing about McCoy were his arguments with Spock. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Why you GREEN-BLOODED HOBGOBLIN....!!!!!

DAMMIT, JIM!! I'm a DOCTOR NOT A BRICKLAYER!!!!

[AG3Y]

Especially those lines about &quot;that green stuff coursing through your veins ! &quot;

Great stuff.

My favorite scene with Spock was when he applied the finger grip to that &quot;rocker&quot; on board the New York bus and took him right out !

Here is &quot;Star Trek&quot; encapsulized in only two words!

( Doc ) JIM ! ! ( Kirk ) BONES !

(ya had to see it to fully appreciate it ! )

[N7AAO]

If you want a good laugh from a book, pick up a copy of Spock's World... McCoy gets to argue with the entire planet of Vulcan!

For an audio laugh, check out &quot;Spock vs. Q&quot;... Leonard Nimoy and John deLancie go at it, live. It's hilarious, trust me!

I just finished re-reading &quot;Spock's World&quot; and Spock even congratulates Bones for WINNING the argument..

But BEWARE!! DO NOT let the pan pizza bite you in the leg! IT HURTS!!

For sale.. 2 Gruntles... Good to have around in case you find yourself DISgruntled and need a quick replacement!

And remember!

&quot; THE PURSUIT OF PERFECTION IS NO ERROR!! &quot;


Can ANYONE tell me where the 'nuclear wessels are located? I've got to pick up a google or two of photons'

Actually, I was reading another Trek book recently and a person the ship rescued was a bit &quot;disgruntled&quot; about how they did it... the Captain looked him in the eye and said, &quot;Get gruntled.&quot; http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[AG3Y]

I need some &quot;gusted&quot;s, because some of the threads that I have been reading have left me totally DISGUSTED! !

By the way, FT, the pan pizza wasn't invited to that event. It was the glass spider that bit the person on the leg. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

True.. I changed channels back to the description of the Horta that one of the bridge crew members used to describe it. I shudda told you I was shifting frequencies!

Dammit, Jim, I'm an engineer, not a captain!

Speaking of which, have you read the book The Kobayashi Maru? It details how Sulu, Chekov, and Scotty all dealt with that scenario. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

AG3Y -

Not to be too picky, but I think that was a San Francisco bus.

[AG3Y]

You've got to be right ! I mean, who would be stupid enough to park a &quot;Nuclear Wessle&quot; in New York Harbor ?
