It is, in fact, taught at high schools in San Diego, Ca. But this should not be surprising as San Diego has one of the highest population of Filipino's residing in the United States. I doubt, however, that my "singular-wit" use of the word "pookie" would be found in such a class.
At least, consider yourselves a bit more informed about an often thrown around bit of Filipino slang. Humor... such a subjective, thing. If it didn't amuse you, at least it amused me.

There is a relatively sizable (compared to the population of the surrounding area, at least) Filipino community in the town of Wapato, which was just down the road a bit from where I grew up.

Cool beans. I was up in those parts last year.

Seeing as this thread is already about the ST3 DVD, I wonder if anyone is willing to make some 'caps.
According to the January 2003 Magazine:
quote:...Burman's son even got to play a Deltan in the film. The character makeup looked somewhat like Persis Khambatta in the first movie, but with an egg-shaped appliance head. That same makeup can also be seen briefly in the background on the bridge of the U.S.S. Excelsior.
So apparently, there's a Deltan on the Excy bridge, and somewhere else in the movie as well.
And there are also some photos of barroom scene aliens. One of them looks similar to the alien in the Enterprise crew lineup (during the infamous "Enterprise is 20 years old" speech). Are there any clues as to where the bar is? And if any of those funky aliens could be Federation members?

What do you mean by where the bar is? There's the barroom scene where McCoy is trying to get passage to Genesis and that SF security guy comes in.

I mean "where" as in on which planet/starbase/station/starship. I haven't seen the movie in a while, so it might be a really obvious question...

I think I remember seeing the Deltan on the Exxy bridge... facing away from the view screen/styles I think. It's in the bit where they all 'strap themselves in'.
Sorry who is Burman?
