What types of dogs?

My dogs are Ridgebacks.

I LOVE CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one, and two dogs (get along fine). I used to have a horse and a fish.

So, what sorts (if any) of pets do people on here have?

I tend to post insanely once I find a board I like; I don't think I'll mind it.

Correction: I don't.

I'd be interested-- but the only reason that I'm not signing up for Klingon is that I'm already taking Spanish, Latin and trying to teach myself how to recognize the Cyrillic alphabet, along with a few hieroglyphics. (I'm serious.) Once I get those cleared away...

I'D LOVE TO LEARN IT!!!!!!!!! (Romulan, Klingon, Tribbleish B) , whatever)

Hey, why not?

I don't recall smilies at all being mentioned in any Star Trek series... B) ! Maybe phasers would be more appropriate, but I rather like the cut little fuzzballs cutting each other up with lightsabers.

And I don't seem to recall :( as being all THAT Trekkish.

As a Washingtonian (DC) myself, I'm going with my native city... never a dull moment.

Where else can you get TractorMan? Or snakefish?

I also liked Taormina (might have misspelled that) in Sicily.

Lana'i City, Hawai'i, also has some interesting moments in school board campaigning-- they take it quite seriously.

And I love the island of Nevis, and Norfolk, and Williamstown/North Adams/Bennington, MA/VT-- Sunshine, Chrysalis, MassMoCA and Farmer Wade, anyone?

So many great places... I'm going to go with DC, in the end.

What a fitting tribute!

Sometimes you can find OK trekkie talks on scifi.com (note the "sometimes"), and very occasionally on the (Kitchen Table is a link to the forum where any would be, although you'll have to look. I don't think any are up right now)

Good luck.

Be sure to visit Nautilus (I'm pretty sure that's the name) while you're there. It used to have a fun VR ride.

Also, you might see a ship being christened. A few years ago, any interested civilians could get tours (I did). But I'm not sure if that applies anymore, after 9/11.

I'm surprised at the exclusion of certain civilians.

DCI George Tenet, for example.

The poll needs a "Yuck, how can you people stand it" option.

Hoshi, Ro, Wesley Crusher The Flaming Mary Sue, Pulaski or maybe Neelix.

VP reminded me of the TNG episode where Geordi & Ro (I think, been awhile since I last saw that one) were thought to be dead, but they just couldn't interact with the stuff around them-- no one could see them, that sort of thing.

I think it involved a transporter as well.

Given that nothing can approach a tachyon (as I understand it), how could measurements involving them be taken?

I understand the send-a-message-to-the-past theoretical application, but what about measuring them in real time, no time travel involved? If they're tachyons (I might be misspelling that), then how could whatever you're using get close enough to measure them?

Any given schadenfreudey death is funny.

What's the canon explanation for what happened to the Number One, Capt. Pike et al.?

I already watch TNG on it-- with Trek, it definitely won't only be guys watching.

For that matter, do any guys watch some of the shows?

Sounds interesting.

Someone will have to tell me how it was; I don't get that channel.

Funny you should mention Pern... I found this by following a bunch of links from a fan site for Anne McCafferey.

I like the idea of Dune, too.

How about Valdemar?

A few more years would have been nice for TNG, but they might not have felt as 'fresh'.
