Shit, Mike. You're gonna have to come down to Embry-Riddle sometime and party. You'd fit in real well with the Riddle Players, our drama club. We make running jokes to Wil Wheaton's acting and the joy that is Wesley Crusher. You'd have a ball.

Very interesting. CaptainMike's high school friends did not ridicule him when he came dressed up as a Starfleet captain? It seems like a fantasy. Wherever I go, I have to talk with my friends in secret about Star Trek, and if someone brings it up, I say "What are you talking about?"
Because "Star Trek" is gay, kids say, and you shouldn't watch that show with it's cheap special effects (Emmy-winning "cheap" special effects . They say you can see the wires hold up the ship in TOS ("they don't hold them up with wires, you fools!" I want to say to them). And all they ever say is "I hate that bald guy and Spock". They've never even heard of DS9! And they even get it confused with Star Wars ("Hey, Jona, who am I from Star Track (they can't pronounce "Trek"): 'Luke, I am your father!'" *a laugh*
I know this probably should be in the Flameboard, but modern kids only think its cool to watch "Friends" and the like. I'm tired of ignorant non-Trekkeies! My point is, at my school, wearing anything Star Trek is certain death of your popular life.

Whoa, hey! I should visit the Officer's Lounge more often.
Would a kind admin label me as "Master of Detail"?
Much appreciated.

Hey Phlox, I don't think you've made enough posts to have an individualized status line. Wait until you've made at least 250 posts. Then it can be changed.

Name: Dat, because my full first name is Datshon, but everyone couldn't pronouce it right, so a few friends just shortened it to Dat, which is much easier to pronounce. It's pronounced "Dot". I was PopMaze.
Status line: Well, that really is my current status. As of Dec. 15, 2001, I'm a college graduate with a BA in History. I've got no job and I really need one.
Sig: It still hasn't changed since last time.

Whoa, hey, haven't been in this thread for a while...
Anyhoo, someone asked what the origin of 'Fabrux' was. Well, a while ago, when I was still in my rabid kitbashing phase (if you want to know more please hop on over to www.starships.cjb.net) and I needed names for ships. So, I grabbed an Encyclopedia and wrote down names of craters on the moon. Now, because of my handwriting, I though I had writtin 'Fabrx' when I had really written 'Fabry'. So, I looked at 'Fabrx' and thought there should be a vowel there and added the 'u'. Then, I was getting a new Hotmail address (evil, evil Hotmail) and didn't want to have to add any numbers or anything, so I used 'Fabrux'. Since then, I used Fabrux for my ID on BBs and the like. Then when we could change our username here, I wanted to use my name, Chris, but it was taken so I used 'Mr. Christopher', a nickname my dad used to call me.
Oh, and could an admin please change my status line to 'Tanked'? Many thanks.

My displayed name is what I go by. It used to mean something but now it's just my user name. My status line is self explanatory and my sig is from the Onion.
