Looks pretty cool. Can I get some of this skin to cover the one I have now on my face? Maybe my wife might not have nightmares anymore...

"Saving Private Ryan" and "Black Hawk Down" were very good. actually, "Black Hawk Down" was fairly accurate, as far as what an RPG can do to a Helocopter. and from what I understand, talking to my father, brother and brother in law, War movies don't do the real thing justice...give me two or three weeks and I'll confim that for ya.

hey, with respect to the Seahawks, they played a great game. but Al Harris read Hasselbeck's mind. and the Pack have declared open season on all NFC teams named for Birds...which means the Eagles are in for it. by the way, how did the Packers game look on Fox? it looked pretty cool from the North end zone at Lambaeu!

My father in law is a lawyer, he would have told the person he was nuts, and to call the cable company and demand it be shut off, and if it isn't, to unscrew the cable going into the back of his Television.

I like DS9 the best, followed closely by TNG, and if I want to get a feel for what my parents watched as kids, I certainly have no problem with watching "Trouble with Tribbles"

if I may, I am a Bostwain's Mate 3rd Class in the US Navy Reserves, and perhaps I can shed some light here. Starfleet, in it's organisation, is a military force. As is the United States Coast Gaurd. if you would, I would compare Starfleet to the USCG because, like the Coast Gaurd, their PRIMARY mission is the safety of others, and they also do alot of scientific work, including exploration and mapmaking. however, in a time of war, the USCG is activated as an auxilary force for the US navy. I'd also note that the majority of Coast Gaurd cutters have some form of weapons system aboard, and Coast Gaurdsmen are armed. In fact, as we speak, there are USCG vessels operating in the Persian Gulf, supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom. so, yes, Starfleet is a military organisation, but it is more along the lines of the Coast Gaurd than the Navy. and by the way, the Navy also operates a number of exploration and reserch vessels <USS Dolphin, AGSS-555, for example.>
