  1. LOST:

     

    One neon green bike. It's the funny looking kind with a big, huge front wheel. The handlebars have those nifty little streamers, and it's got a sidecar made out of a rusty old shopping cart.

     

    Last seen in the possession of the infamous Q, but I have reason to believe that the Tal Shiar, The Obsidian order, and the ghost of Richard Nixon are involved as well.

     

    REWARD: 49 cents and a packet of red kool-aid mix


  2. Sorry for a bit of thread necromancy, but now that I've started studying microbiolgy and fermentation (yeah, I'm majoring in beer, no joke), I have another two cents to add...with science! Here are my hypotheses.

     

    One: Romulan yeast are beastly: The reason why non-distilled beverages (beer, wine, cider) peter out at around 15 or so % ABV is is because alcohol is toxic to the yeast and after a point they die off. The exception is if you're the Boston Beer Company and you made mutant yeast to create your 20% ABV beer. Whatever ferments Romulan ale may just have an extremely high tolerance, thus allowing the brewer to make a high-proof ale.

     

    Two: There's more than alcohol in there: Kind of along the lines of how they used to think that the wormwood in absinthe caused hallucinations. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that perhaps there's some compound either from the ingredients or as a by product of fermentation that is also intoxicating.

     

    Three: It's not an ale at all: I try to ignore this possibility because it breaks my brewmaster heart. Romulan ale could very well be misnamed and actually a distilled beverage.

     

    Though, now I've got to thinking about brewing myself some Romulan ale. Hmmmm. Well, it'll have to wait until after my Pilsner, honey IPA, and Galway Hooker clone.


  3. Scotty: He's a funny drunk and would liven up any party.

     

    McCoy: Also a drinker and being a doctor can come in handy

     

    Janice Rand: Mainly because she's the hottest girl in the Trek universe.

     

    Yar: Well......we've seen how she gets when she drinks... :biggrin:

     

    Data: You always need someone to make fun of at a party.

     

    Geordi: Safe to have over since he never gets the girl.

     

    Sisko: He seems to know how to have a great time plus he can bring cajun food.

     

    O'Brien: I think he and Scotty would really get along

     

    Quark: Need a bartender and the use of his holosuite...

     

    Jadzia: She seems to be really uninhibited and would probably do a strip-tease by the end of the night.

     

    Leeta: Only if she leaves Rom at home and wears her Dabo girl outfit.......

     

    Absolutely no Vulcans (they haven't a clue how to party), Romulans (too serious for a party) or Klingons( they would wreck my house!)

    How could I forget Jadzia? Or Sisko's cooking!

     

    And I would teach the Vulcans how to party, and, mark my words, they would like it. :dude:


  4. Alright, so we all have a lengthy list of Trek characters we'd like to meet, so here's your time to say who from the Star Trek continuum you'd like to have over for a party. Don't worry about timelines, TOS characters can mingle with DS9 characters, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And, don't just give me a list. I want reasons!

     

    Spock: Well, what can I say? He's just wonderful. Seventy-two different kinds of wonderful, to be exact.

     

    Scotty: He's Scottish, what more do I need to say?

     

    Bones: This is actually more of a practical choice than anything. Whenever I have a party, someone gets hurt, and that someone is usually me.

     

    Valeris: Yay, conspiracy!

     

    T'Pol: Yes, I have a thing for Vulcans. I admit it.

     

    Quark: Gotta have a bartender!

     

    Horde of drunk Klingons: Can't have a party without them!

     

    Horde of drunk Romulans: Because Romulans are awesome, and we neeeds their ale

     

    Garak: You know how Spock is seventy-two different kind of wonderful? Well, Garak is seventy-one. Which is still pretty wonderful.


  5. The Romulans are also my favorite villians as well. "My Enemy, My Ally" is a great book. I read it decades ago and still remember it!

    Admittedly, I'm only about halfway through it. Just started the other day. Well, I'm far enough along to know that Ael is my hero in so many ways. Yay for us short butt-kicking people!


  6. Don't mind me, I'm just brushing the dust off of this topic.

     

    The Romulans are easily my favorite Trek species. I only wish we could have learned more about them.

     

    I know that the novels aren't technically considered part of the Star Trek canon, but this is still an interesting point. My Enemy, My Ally explains that Romulan honor has unique characteristics. Like, it's more personal and context defendant than something based on a rigid morality. I think that concept can still hold true with the canon sources. The Defector, anyone?


  7. I'm a girl, and I think farts are funny, even if they smell disgusting. The first time I kissed my boyfriend he farted; we laughed for the longest time. Another time, my dog was asleep and she farted so loud that it woke her up.


  8. Anyone here interested in art photography? I'm really into 35mm b&w. For the past four months I've been developing my own negatives and prints, and I've gotten to the point where I don't trust 1hr photo anymore >_< Anyway I'm making my own darkroom (just ordered the equipment!). Hopefully I'll be able to experiment with alternate printing techniques (such as lithographs and cyanotypes).

     

    Anyways, if anyone's interesting in seeing my work click me!


  9. I wear my TOS uniform in public, deinately a conversation starter. Once for a Halloween festival in my fave part of town I dressed up as a Trill, and I saw all these Klingons, and it was glorious.


  10. The end of Trek is a frightening thought. I give you: Stages of Mourning for Trekkies.

     

    Denial: Trekkies think it's all just a dumb joke.

    Anger: The hand phaser is invented for the sole purpose of exacting revenge.

    Bargining: Trekkies offer their souls to Paramount for some new Trek.

    Depression: Trekkies become withdrawn and confide in DS9 DVDs and ice cream.

    Acceptance: Wait, no, go back to anger.


  11. I give it an eight. It was good, but

    1) I'm bitter about it being over. The whole I time I was thinking "Oh, God, it's almost gone" and therefore could not fully enjoy it.

    2) IMHO, the holodeck idea was lame. I would have perferred the episode to be the events acctually happening, as opposed to a reflection on the events that happened. Yeah, that made no sense.

    However, I must say

    The end was so beautiful. I cried.

    I'll have to make a new sig now :tear:
