FNL - related. I couldn't figure out where I'd seen the new English teacher before and guess what? He played the Andy Roddick-like character in the movie Wimbledon.

I input my mother's maiden name in that database: not there. My grandmother's maiden name: 1044. Her mother's maiden name: 4736. My father's middle name (also a surname) - 10578 and his paternal grandmother's maiden name: 684.

I gotta go with Sisko, as always. But I'm predictable in my DS9 love.

I'm only up to season 5 so I have to withhold judgment. I only saw bits and pieces of Voyager.

I watched season 1 of DS9 and really hated it. However, I did tune in for the gay Dax episode back in the day and that was great! I find the guy who plays Sisco to be an awful actor. I can't stand to watch him.

Yeah, but it was butt-ugly.

Now you're dissing the Defiant? Just wait until the Borg invade. Or the Jem'Hadar. You'll be wishing you'd been nicer.

In other news:

A national commission today rejected New Orleans' bid to host a 2008 presidential debate, deciding that the city was not sufficiently recovered from Hurricane Katrina to handle such an important event.

Thanks, guys! That'll be news to the NBA All-Star game (scheduled for February) and the Sugar Bowl.

Seasons 5 and 6 were (IMO) DS9's best.

I'm #27,851! I'm always surprised at how many of "us" there are out there, given how few relatives I know with the same last name. But then, I also forget how many Germans there are here, too.

My name: 9878

My DH's: 5316

One set of niecphews: 45,024

The other set of niecphews: 54

The first season of DS9 isn't the best, they were kind of finding their feet and it was mostly stand alone episodes, as the series goes on it gets better.

Simpson= 142, Bouvier=13211, Skinner=531

Sadly, Wiggum does not rank at all.

Futurama edition:

Fry=848, Rodriguez=14 (Bender=749), Farnsworth=2,981, Wong=418, Brannigan=16,840, and Zoidberg and Leela do not rank.

My name is not on that list, unsurprisingly. Considering there seem to be 12 of us.
