No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

We had one of those! My brother and I used it to carry our James Blish books of adaptations of Star Trek episodes.

tommyrot, my brother in geekwadiness.

I still have my James Blish Star Trek books.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Me too.

The status is NOT quo.

Thanks, guys. It's not the hard drive, I don't think. Sean and I determined last night that it's probably the optical drive or some such. I can't find the os CD (ND has it stashed somewhere in his office. Anyone who has seen ND's office understands.), and since there is now a music CD in the drive that doesn't want to come out, we're doubly screwed. (Yes, I put it in there to see if distracting the drive with a shiny CD would help. What.) So I have a genius bar appointment for 2 today. Thankfully I took today off for Byron's surgery anyway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I had the Star Trek books, and I hardly even watched Star Trek. But I still read the books! And I have them still!

I actually read the books before I started watching the show.

I was greatly surprised when things I remembered from the books didn't happen in the episode.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I also had the books and was also surprised.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm reading a James Blish Star Trek book RIGHT NOW! AIFG!!

(I'm not really, but it needed to be said)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Recently I grabbed all the Blish Trek books from my parents' house. They were all in good condition. Out of curiosity, I went on eBay to see how much they were worth.

Not much. There must be a ton of those books floating around....
