All you folks should come and see Nemesis in SJ. Tickets here cost $9.75 CDN for adult during regular hours, which is about $6.23 US. Lucky break for you guys, piss-poor deal for us

I'm well aware of where Fremont is. Both my brother and an ex lived there. I'm just up the road in Oakland (at Lake Merritt). Hell, maybe I've sat next to you on BART!
You know, a couple of years ago you were within striking distance of Andy Probert, as he used to be in Sunnyvale. I used to go visit him at home there.

It's possible! Although I don't ride BART very often...

Wow. That's pretty cool. How did you come to meet Mr. Probert?

Coincidentally, one week is the exact amount of time it'll take some twattish American teenager to decide that 'everyone' must have seen the film by then, so there'll be no need to post spoiler warnings anymore.

Heh, we're close enough to meet for a beer (assuming we're both of legal age Well, I know I am. I'm bald enough to prove it!)!

I contacted him about possibly doing some design for a 3D underwater sci-fi game back in 1995. That project got torpedoed (pun intended), but I stayed in touch with Andy and we became pals. I got to try on his Cylon helmet (hee hee). He was nice enough to pull out some of his sketchbooks so I got to see the development of the E-D right on his dining room table.

What's with the huge gap between the Australian and New Zealand release?
Or the U.S. and Mexico for that matter. Maybe something to do with a more lax inforcement of copyright law. But, like, I find it hard to believe that Belgium is a nest of IP thieves. I mean, moreso than Russia? Bootleg DVDs are fifty percent of the post-Soviet economy!

Not quite...I'm just about to turn 18. Two more years to go.
Isn't it funny how everyone seems a bit ageless on the internet like this? (I mean aside from the blatantly-obvious 12 year old every now and then. ) You can't really tell how old everyone is unless you start talking about personal details. (Like in the Officer's Lounge.)
I suppose it's kind of cool that we've got a wide variety of people on this board, and everybody's thoughts are given equal weight. (Well, except for Omega's... )

As I said before, pretty damn cool.

quote:Originally posted by AndrewR: Can you ask [Andy Probert] about that little Ferengi drop ship on the underside of the Marauder!?!
Well, we did talk about it once. He said it's a swept forward wing craft, so its nose is facing the same direction as the Marauder's nose when docked. I seem to recall it was supposed to be a landable "raiding" craft for bringing booty back from planets. I don't recall if I ever asked him if he designed the top of it. I do recall that after he pointed out where the nav deflector was on the Warbird I asked him where it was on the Marauder, and he said "I forgot it!"

Ok...no beer. Soda pop?
There is a pic of me in my Flare profile now.

That's CRAZY!! And really stupid. Half of the NZ Trek fans would probably have gone to Australia to see it before April! LOL!
And you can't compare NZ and Australia to the US and Mexico - considering that with the Mexico thing there might be something to do with language/subtitling??

The one in mine is a bit old, but you get the general idea. (I have more of a beard now though, it was just scruff back then... )

taken moments before a starship of the Enterprise-class crashed into your home. Of course, you didn't believe in the danger, since the Enterprise-class doesn't exist. But then again, just watch out for Constitution-refits, all the same.
