An actual picture: Aug 21... but rough sketches or a cutaway on a control panel might appear earlier.

Well, I never thought that last post would be so subject to misapprehension. Glad to know there were loads of people to explain it to Loseychops. 8)
And as for my .sig, you gotta remember my Dad is Scottish. Such blatantly American slang sounded hilarious coming from him. He's becoming seriously clued-in as it is, he even knew what happened in the Buffy finale! It was a bizarre conversation anyway, I used the term "stud muffin" then had to explain it to my Mum (unsuccessfully; what IS the definition of a stud muffin?).

Erm... I think it's basically just a physically attractive guy, isn't it? I don't know. Honestly, I don't usually call people that. Actually, I don't really ever call people that... *L*

Yes, but you're a very boring person. I can't recall the exact context the term was used in, either describing someone ironically or being sarcastic about their own self-image.
There are now books devoted to the collection of (or creation of) obscure words to describe obscure concepts.
We need to invent one for the concept of beginning a thread on one topic "When will the first images of Enterprise be released?" and ending on another "My dad says Angel is a stud muffin".
'Non-sequitor' does not cover it. It has to be web-oriented, high-tech, and capable of crossing the planet is a few hours.

I'm sorry Lee. You have my sympathy
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

It would appear Bernd is set to be our big winner, with his guess of July 9th right-on-the-nose of the release of a new TV Guide with a pull-out poster of the Enterprise in it. (One would guess this'll be a fairly detailed pic of the CGI model rather than a sketch, but no promises.) Now, this actual issue is dated for July 14th with a street date of the previous Monday (the 9th), but that might mean a few copies could be scanned earlier, possibly this weekend. *shrugs* I guess we'll have to wait and see.
But barring it appearing tomorrow, I think Bernd has it in the bag. Congrats, Bernd. Now let's hope he likes it... *ducks*

Vampire, sucks blood - get it, got it - poor joke, but still funny.
