    Well,Hawai'i had a club in the old World Football League.I think the average football franchise makes so much money that the travel expenses could be handled fairly easily...but I'm not sure that Hawaiins would support an NFL franchise.Take the University of Hawai'i Rainbows.Unless the team is having a great year,they rarely sell out their stadium.

    Alaska.Hmm.I don't know. ;)

    I am eternally thankful to God for my family and friends.

    I have to admit that as I began cooking this afternoon,I became very depressed.My step-father (a man I've known since I was 8-years old) passed away this past July of renal failure after a 10-year struggle with diabetes.He was an awesome cook,and usually prepared the big Thanksgiving meal each year at he and my mother's house.This is going to be the first year since...well,the first year in my entire life that I will not have my dad (my real father passed away 20-years ago) sitting at the head of the table for Thanksgiving.

    I always try and find the good in everything,and I can at least say that I am Thankful that he is no longer in pain,and is in a far better place.

    However,I am determined to have a merry holiday for my own self,and my family's.

    I wish everyone here who celebrate's the American thanksgiving a wonderful holiday,too.God bless.

    I wonder why Julian was against the notion?

    Maybe there are health issues concerned with trill/klingon hybrides?You know,I would think a majority of halfbreed children(not human children with parents of different ethnicities,but children with parents of different races) like that would be subject to health problems and sterility?But maybe 24th century medecine has taken care of that?

    But then again,maybe there are benefits?My sister is married to an african-american,and my little niece was once ill with some virus (she got over it and has been in great health since),but I remember at the time my sister was terrified that it could be sickle cell anemia,as that runs in her husband's family....but the doctors said that mulatto children have a much lower probability of sickle cell anemia than african-american children.So,in that case,the caucasian traits helped.I'm sure the african-american traits have helped guard against diseases that are more common amongst caucasians,too.

    Hmm...I'd love to talk to the EMH or Julian about this. :lol:

    I was just over browsing the ez board 'Trek communities and found a Star Trek Fans Net,there.

    It has only 2 registered members,and 1 post.... :dude:

    I wonder if they are the beginnings of our evil mirror universe selves?

    This also begs the question,if that other startrekfans.net isn't as advanced as this one,will they send an operative over to this "universe" to kidnap VBG in order to make him upgrade their site? :(

    Spooky....

    No apology,necessary.I misread your post and would have replied sooner had I been here.I apologize to you,very sincerely.

    I'm afraid I've been in a bit of a snit all day,but that's no reason for me to act like an *buttocks* here amongst my friends.I am sorry.

    I listen to several musical genres.My favorites are jazz,the blues,big band,swing,and dixieland.Depends on my mood at the time,really.I'm not sure why I like those types of music.I certainly didn't grow up when those forms of music were popular.I'm a child of the 60's and early 70's...I should like Janis Joplin,Hendrix,and Three Dog Night.But I don't.Not particularly.I'll take Glenn Miller,Bing Crosby,Etta James,or Myles Davis anyday.

    Perhaps they can be removed to the normal person's satisfaction.  However, If a person's health is compromised by a progressive lung disease and is extremely sensitive to odors and residues, I don't think any measures are sufficient to take that risk.

    Oh,okay...so smokers aren't "normal"?Thanks for clearing that up.

    I remember Sliders.I loved that show.

    The sci-fi that pulled me into science-fiction in general were the paperback novelizations of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" and various compilations of sci-fi and horror stories published as "Alfred Hitchcock's Stories For Late At Night".Believe it or not,I was never very interested in television as a boy.There were a few shows I'd watch,like the animated Star Trek.But I always loved reading.Comics,paperbacks,magazines,anything.

     

    Around the time Sliders was on,I also liked that sci-fi series "The Chronicle".Other sci-fi shows I liked were "Red Dwarf","Lexx",and "Firefly".

    Anakin and Palpatine are excellent examples of absolute power corrupting absolutely.

    It happens all the time.

    I mean,just look at me...I should've known better.

    I am an all powerful Jedi.Last night when I was forced to remove I forum I had high hopes for from my site,I allowed anger to take control and temporarily became a Sith Lord.Now Invisionfree's second server is down,and maybe I'm to blame....a Jedi really should be careful what he wishes for when angry :clap:

    Sisko should probably stay.If he should return he'd probably be unable to exist in normal society anymore.Just a few moments of visiting the Celestial Temple and the wormhole aliens (during "vision" scenes on DS9) made my head hurt!I can't imagine spending years there :clap:

    The problem as I see it is that landlords are becoming entirely too invasive of their tenants privacy,and also too nitpicky about their properties.If they're worried about people smoking in or trashing their homes,they shouldn't rent them.

    What?You don't think a prospective tenant can't lie and say they don't smoke,and then smoke up a cloud once the landlord is gone?And I'd challenge anyone here to walk into My house and tell me if anybody smokes here.Saying that the odor of smoke remains in a home forever is a lot of BS!If you properly clean and freshen your homes,NO smell can remain permanently fixed in place.

    In another 10-years landlords will be telling people whether or not they can have sex in their homes,the way things are going.

    Its ridiculous.

    Everytime I encounter anyone who supports the idiotic rules most landlords force their tenants to live by,Communism makes more and more sense to me. :clap:

    APPARENTLY INVISIONFREE BELIEVES THAT ALL OF ITS MEMBERS ARE CHILDREN INCAPABLE OF HANDLING MATURE THEMES ON THEIR SITES.

    I WAS INFORMED A FEW MOMENTS AGO THAT SOMEONE REPORTED ME FOR BEING IN VIOLATION OF THE TERMS OF SERVICE,WITH MY "JABBA'S THRONE ROOM" FORUM (which I modeled after Risa).

    AN INVISIONFREE SITE CANNOT CONTAIN FULL OR PARTIAL NUDITY,PROFANITY (Oh,My! :(),OR MENTION GAMBLING,OR ILLEGAL DRUGS....

    WHAT SORT OF PRUDISH BULL$#@! IS THAT?

    I'M SO TICKED OFF RIGHT NOW I CAN HARDLY TYPE.I AM 43-YEARS OLD,NOT A CHILD.AND MY FORUM WAS CLEARLY MARKED AS AN ADULT FORUM AND PASSWORD PROTECTED!

    SIGH****(I really want to post a profanity laced rant... :clap: )

    WELL,THAT'S THAT.I'VE HAD TO DELETE THE FORUM IN ORDER TO SAVE THE REST OF THE SITE.

    DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN SET UP A SITE THE WAY I CHOOSE AND NOT BE BOTHERED BY SOME IDIOTIC RULES,OR SOMEONE LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER ALL THE TIME DICTATING TO ME WHAT I CAN OR CANNOT HAVE ON MY SITE?

    :clap:

    I am a Godzilla purist and have hated every American produced version of the King of the Monsters.American filmmakers just don't get it!

    I love the Toho films.The campier,the better.I like the obvious little rc tanks and plastic buildings.I like the Godzilla outfit with the zipper clearly visible up the middle.Its hilarious! <_<

    I own every Godzilla film there is,and place my orders direct to Toho.

    <_< Okay,here goes nothing...

     

    The link to my new site is below

    StarWarsGalaxy

     

    Now,the site is far from complete.In fact,I've only just begun to add the topics and such.I spent all night writing down site addresses,and formulating topics (most of which are not up,yet).Also,I don't yet have a banner and am still unable to add skins,buttons,and emoticons :)

    Remember,I'm new to all this.... :blink:

    Have a look.Even now,you can get a basic feel for what direction the site is going to take.Please feel free to PM me here (or there) with any suggestions,tips,criticisms,or whatever.

    Sirius. :)
