I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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

Silly tommyrot. Every day is a happy holodeck day!

Happy Birthday Nilly!

Excellent development Dylan!

(The new generation is obviously in the early stages of taking over the world, do we old ones need to caucus? Start saving canned goods? Dig a shelter of some sort?)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

A friend of mine says that the whole time between her general-date birthday and her Jewish-date birthday should be dedicated for celebrations.

You should celebrate both days at the very least.

Yom Hoolledet same'akh, Nilly! May your year be full of joy.

So fluffy and Bubble is such an excellent name for a teeny tiny canine.

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

Also, it's the 50th anniversary of the Edsel. [link]

This week marks the 50th anniversary of the introduction of The Edsel, Ford Motor Company's iconic failed auto... From Edsel.com:

"Released into a nation struggling with a weak economy and fears of the Soviet satellite flying high overhead, the Edsel rollout couldn't have had worse timing. Combined with an undersupplied dealership network, radical styling and overhyped publicity, the 1958 Edsel undeservedly became a symbol of failure that endures to this day."

An assessment I agree with. (I happen to like the Edsel's styling.) The mid-price car market collapsed between the time they decided to produce the Edsel and the time it actually hit the market. In fact, the Edsel actually achieved the percentage share of the mid-price car market they were shooting for.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Happy Birthday, Nilly! You deserve all the happiness of the day.

Silly tommyrot. Every day is a happy holodeck day!

Only if you have a holodeck. And, you know, decide to do happy scenarios.

Also, did anyone ever use a holodeck for sex? Which seems to me to be the most obvious use....

That's what the holosuites on DS9 were for.
