My fianc�e. Who I'm marrying in three weeks. Jeff has this weird obsession with her, he has this compunction to drop her name whenever possible. It's actually becoming quite tedious, verging on creepy in fact, and definitely an intrusion into my personal life.

And there's as much chance of him or anyone else seeing any naked photos of her as there is of Omega seeing that pic of LOA in a bikini which Tim has. 8)

u know i hope Koi-boy (or girl, i wouldnt really know) isnt another Darkstar....whether that was alright to bring up i wouldnt know either.

anyway, lets add more to the dungheap while i still can:
[try not to respond to the ideas put forward in this post just think about them]
this tests the limits of On-screen Canon;[hypothetical situation] what if in the final version of an episode or a movie, for some obscure reason, there is an editing mistake and something makes it into the final version which completely contradicts what we know about the current Trek Universe. Do we take this as the 'truth' since it was said in dialogue?
plus wat if a filmcrew member was seen on screen (by mistake, naturally) is it Canon, that such a person exists on the enterprise.?

just something to think about try not to overreact, if this turns into something that isnt fun anymore i dont think its worth commenting.

Only as much so as that the E-D has at least one boom-mic installed in it.

i was just wondering what Koy actually thinks about the Akira-class himself.. is he just trolling up a controversial topic for shits and giggles, or does he have an opinion?

Perhaps KoiCarp'calledOtto is merely using us to plug his book. How humilating, to be reduced to the level of a daytime chat show. . .

(but on the other hand. . .)

Coming up next: Jeff Benson wil be showing us some interesting ways to kick roadkilled deer, and Frank Gerratana will be sending us a live report from the beaches of Tahiti.

It is best to leave dead deer alone. Better to inform the local police department so they can dispose of the body.

When hitting the deer, you want to strike it hard with the strongest part of your Jeep: usually, the front grille. Depending on your speed, an impact won't damage your vehicle, but will provide a killing blow to the deer.

It is best to hit the deer at the side. A head blow can be bloody.

If you don't want to hit a deer, be careful: deer don't run from headlights or moving objects. Repeated honks of your horn should be enough to entice the deer to move it's fat ass.

Mounting a computer-controlled 9mm MP5 to a drop-open slot on the engine compartment can also help kill deer without involving actual impact with the deer and your Jeep. I suggest the compact (non-stock) model, with CTC "Smart" Progressive Targeting Chip z3400, and fifty-round capacity magazine loaded with a mix of "hollow-points" and "exploding" rounds with mechanical mag-switch and infa-red targeting system (extra).

Now, depending on the time of day of your kill, you may choose to take photographs of your 'victim.' I suggest a Mark-VII Cannon (built in flash) All Purpose Camera with auto-zoom, stabilizer, and night-vision. After pictures are developed, mail them to Kate c/o Vogon Poet, London, England.

They don't have to make mistakes. They're doing this just fine in regular production.

i ocmpletely agree with u Dukhat, the points i put up were just for the sake of argument, and possibly shutting up this thread [Big Grin]

neways, on a side-note (i[m sure its been mentioned b4 but) has the Enterprise-E been confirmed as Sovereign class in dialogue?

No.

Also, I don't recommend using a cannon on the deer. You'll just make an even bigger mess.

If you tie the deer to the cannon's barrel (just over the big hole), it's even better. Obviously this requires quite a few people to move the deer, but believe me the end result is worth it.
