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

8 Starship Enterprise Facts Every Trekker Should Know

That's right - the iconic starship wasn't always named USS Enterprise ... in the original draft, Roddenberry named it USS Yorktown after a World War II aircraft carrier. The starship was commanded by Captain Robert April, then Christopher Pike, before Roddenberry settled on James Tiberius Kirk.

Huh.

But they don't say which WW-II Yorktown aircraft carrier (there were two, the second named after the one sunk at Midway).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I get what Connie is saying. People apologizes for asking me questions at the library. I sit at the desk covered with question marks. Sometimes I just don't want to go through the ritual. I forestall the apology part ( which is followed by the 'that's what they pay me for . haha)by trying to ask if I can help them first

Our wings are not tired.

I don't know. We live in a pretty rude world. I am always glad whenever someone is polite. And I do see the question as a way of trying not to impose.

Helicopter has been circling my neighborhood for 45 minutes. Wonder why? Should I turn the news on?

Yeah, as much every time the civility guy P.M. Forni start pontificating, I want to curse and be really rude (seriously, every time he comes on the radio, I can't restrain myself from saying "FUCK YOU FORNI! SHOVE IT You POMPOUS OLD WINDBAG!!!" It's quite funny) it does often smooth things.

And my little black heart gets evil satisfaction at maintaining that smoothness in the face of rudeness. Little black heart hopes my civility makes 'em feel small. Bless their hearts. And in the face of rudeness, kill 'em with kindness often does ratchet things down.

Is this the worst Star Trek cake ever? [link]

It's supposed to be Picard, in case you can't tell.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

tommy, I can't quite believe I'm getting into this, but is it supposed to be a replica of the cake from the episode where Picard had to deal with the kids?

Ha! Tommy, that's funny! Only the emblem (insignia?) on the shirt gives a hint of Star Trek!

I don't know (I don't remember that episode) - I found it here: Captain Picard Day

eta: btw, Captain Picard Day is tomorrow.
