GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not complaining. Lamenting.

Lamenting is the word. There was lamentation afoot. You did a fine job; some groups are always going to be slower than others, be it due to more claims on their time or whatever.

Maybe I should have tried the naked thing that BT says he does. I suppose it's an advantage to living alone.

I have to say from my experience that the naked thing is more advantageous when you're not living alone.

Yes, thank you. I did remove it from the board (so I would have caught that eventually), but I forgot to adjust the spreadsheet.

Exactly. We had a number of scheduling issues last time, with Drew working the cruise ship, DQ (or was it Laga?) moving, etc.

Which one was it?

Finally, and most importantly, I am not naked.

Man, there sure is a metallic tang to the air this morning. Sorry to see you go, Kara. I take a moment to jut out my chin in a resolved sort of way. We must not grieve for the past, but move onward resolutely.

At the risk of being too obedient to the good Admiral, who I am assured has only our best interests at heart, despite the whole worrisome bit about the hips and the bitterness and the ashes, I'm going to go with his basic plan.

Baltar is actually shorter on cards than Helo, but it's a bit sooner to his turn, and Helo's right there in the Press Room, so he can take best advantage of getting us back shipshape cardwise.

Therefore I move to Weapons Control and take action by playing my G1 to XO Helo.

Let's see what fate has in store for us.

Correction to Starbuck's discards: She had 9 cards and discarded a B1, P1, P2, R1, R2, and R2 to get down to 3.

Awesome. I'll go ahead and Activate the Press Room. Twice, I guess, since I'm not moving.

Cross Kara Thrace of list of future wives. That whole hybrid baby plotline was ultimately disappointing.

Okay, this made me laugh and laugh, both parts of it.

Okay, I've sent Helo his politics cards. He is really making up for lost time isn't he?

And now it's Crisis-time. That's like Hammer-time, but without the dancing. Sorry, Admiral.

And you are facing Mandatory Testing (13 YG). Details to be sent shortly.

Sigh. Yes, good of the people, etc. Happy to prove my innocence. I can help a reasonable bit on this one if we need to.
