  1. Since we lost Word Association, heres another thread. How about a Caption Contest. Heres the first pic. However thinks up the best caption will get to post the next picture and choose the best caption for his or her picture. Sound good? Rated (atleast) PG, please.
  2. I dunno, I think I like this one better... <http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Threads-by-Gale-Trek-Uniform-Costume-II-VI_W0QQitemZ130350386296QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item1e597d0c78> It costs a little more, but it's a lot more classy than the first one AND it has more jewelry. =0]
  3. OMG, Will! I LOVE EAP! "The Raven" especially!
  4. There is nothing like a good game of StarCraft, playing the Terrans of course. "Let's burn" "Move out!" But, I am also into Nintendo computer emulators for Zelda and Super Mario 3. They are oldies, but goodies!
  5. Squid: "When he's not looking, I'll make my move. Wait for it...wait for it..."
  6. Look at this, everyone: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091102/od_uk_..._uk_space_hotel Can you imagine? =o]
  7. "No, no, I said 'anchovies'! Yeah, delivery, unless you can tell me how to drive this thing through the drive-thru..."
  8. "Hey Koda, Kenai and I are playin' freeze tag and I can't get move! Get that fly, will ya! Hurry! If I sneeze, I'm out!" Or (That long-standing childhood game) "I'm not touching you!"
  9. Perhaps they mix better on a Sunday night?
  10. LOL! I like it, I like it! =0] OK, K'hal's turn!
  11. Wow, Im so honored! =0] This'n made me chuckle. OK, have at it!
  12. If a drive way is where you park and a parkway is where you drive, what do you do on a speedway?
  13. "My wife told me I was becoming more and more like a piece of furniture. I don't see it."
  14. I see what you mean, Will, about being off topic, that is. =0] CONGRATULATIONS STSF members and here's to 100 more! ::raises tea glass, then gulps it down:: Ahhhh!
  15. Man: "OK, ::pant pant:: do you give up yet? ::cough pant:: Just admit it! ::pant:: Your hide would look much better on ME!"
  16. I think DeForest was one of my favorite actors, not just in Sci-fi. He just had a fantastic spirit and I loved seeing him on the TNG episode. I cant believe its been 10 years already. He is still missed and I hope his family is together right now just remembering how much fun he was. May God bless them all! =0]
  17. ::yelling into the cargo bay:: "Captain! We have a little problem!" Or "Nice horsey, easy now, wooaahh..."
  18. The Motion Picture: Since I haven't seen this movie over and over, like I have the others, I probably don't appreciate it the same. But, I have seen it and it just didn't impress me like the others did. The Wrath of Kahn: I really liked Kahn, but I dont know if it was my favorite, which seems to be the consensus here. I asked my husband which movie he liked best, and he said Kahn was his favorite, too. There were some good fight scenes and, since I was raised by my father, I like good fight scenes in my sci-fi movies (thought Star Trek is the only sci-fi I watch, besides Enemy Mine). The Search for Spock: I don't know, I really like Leonard Nimoy and the Actors who played his parents (Mark Lenard, especially), but this movie just didn't do much for me. It was OK. The Voyage Home: I think Home was my favorite of the TOS line of movies. Nimoy was killing me and I loved the interactions with the people of San Francisco. The other actors were killing me too, especially "Noo-clee-ah We-sselz!" It was just a lot more light hearted and fun, and I loved the ideas of truly saving the world while saving a species from extinction. The music was a lot funner, too. The Final Frontier: I honestly don't remember Frontier as well, probably because, like TMP, I haven't seen it nearly as many times as the others. Was that the one where they went to the end of the Universe to see God or some entity claiming to be a god? If so, I probably dont remember it because I blocked it out of my memory. The Undiscovered Country: I wasn't crazy about Country. I dont like Iman, is that her name? Or the idea of going to prison. It just didn't keep me interested. Generations: I anticipated Generations because I was so sad to see TNG go. I love the saucer crash scene and the ideas of re-writing your past due to regrets. Or just going back in time and staying there forever. What a great thought! First Contact: Probably my favorite of the TNG movie line. The Queen was just icky and I loved the fight scenes when the fleet arrived. Great flick! Insurrection: Bleh. Kinda boring. Another one I haven't really seen over and over. But, there's a reason for that. Nemesis: No, no, no, totally wrong. Too dark, to icky, not enough fighting going on. The idea of Picard's son was just off. We needed more space fight scenes. Definitely not nearly as good as it could have been. So, there you have it, the Knollwatcher's two cents. =0] (Not worth much, is it?)
  19. ::"Heavy Metal" song plays:: ...it's the only way that you can travel down that road...
  20. OK, I think we have the Black hole debate hashed out. How about space debris? I imagine most things burn up in the atmosphere (which I dont really fully understand yet), but what about those things that make it through? Why aren't meteors landing on garages? Or making craters in national parks? Or whatever? Do things bounce off the atmosphere? Just had a thought, too. When the space shuttles come back and they re-enter the Earths atmosphere, I know they come down on a curve to match rotation (Is that right?), is there a point when, like a piece of space debris, it is no longer flying towards Earth, but being pulled, or is it always being pulled? The velocity and strength/force it must take to slow down any object coming to Earth must be incredible. It messes with your head!
  21. Cool! Thanks, Sorehl! I actually didnt think there would be a way to understand the scientific gabbilty-gook, but I completely understood what you wrote here. I dont think there is anything going on in my area until the 13th, but Ill keep my peepers open and let you know! =0]
  22. "Is. Slightly Obsessed. With Mirror."
  23. They still keep saying their rocket made it into space. That Jong Ill is a nut case! Hey Sorehl, do you know of any way I can figure out the information on Heavens-above.com without going through a year of calculus? Its giving me positional data of certain objects in longitude and latitude, but I still have no idea where that would be relative to my position on the Earth.
  24. I have another question for this string, though it may be a little off topic. Why is this satellite issue with N. Korea such a problem? Don't other Countries launch satellites regularly? Why worry about N. Korea?
  25. Neat! I know that as you gradually move away from Earth, things become more and more dimensional. Things are that way now, but, its like you say, its comparable to driving a car (two dimensions) or flying a plane (more than two dimensions). If there is no air in space, is there also no vacuum? Would it also stand to reason that when a ship or an object flies by something, it doesn't effect it, like it wouldn't cause a gust of wind or any other kind of displacement?
