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!

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

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....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gah. I'm completely blanking on the name of the software I need to buy to have a more detailed look at the mess that is my PC this evening--basically chkdsk on steroids. Help?

Norton Utilities? (Or am I showing my age?)

I think we're both old, tommy. Wikipedia doesn't even give me a decent current competitor.

What should I be poking around with, then? Other than a bootable Linux CD?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No help here -- the linux cd tends to be my first response and not my last ditch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is there a free (Windows) program to open a zip file? WinZip is pointing out to me that it is not free software.
