Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Red Dwarf, Starbug, and Blue Midget are all accounted for.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Other Trek names: Yorktown. Truman.
eta: Lexington. Potemkin. Repulse.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What about names from Heinlein, Clarke, Asimov, or Piper?
Or perhaps even earlier? Tom Swift's rocket was Star Spear. And then there was Doc Smith's Skylark series.

I might have to do a Yorktown. I do have Botany Bay for one of my portable bus powered firewire drives.
I'm down to one last RAID to name.
The names added today:
Kobayashi Maru (internal drive on my office iMac)
Argo (Mac Mini)
Tardis (Mac Mini)
Hunter Gratzner (OS drive on MacPro)
Capricorn One (OS drive on MacPro)
Moonbase Alpha (RAID on MacPro)
Eventually all of those machines will also get windows partitions so that will be four more names I'll need, but that's not until at least November.

Star Trek trivia - originally, Roddenberry planned to have his starship named Yorktown, as it was a famous WWII carrier. (Actually, two different WWII carriers were named Yorktown.) But he changed it to Enterprise, a more famous WWII carrier.
Oh, Essex is another Trek starship.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I am happy to report that I managed to stay out of bizarro world today, and even managed to have a very enjoyable day. TCG's gig at the street fair went well, and afterward I went to a friend's poetry reading, while TCG unfortunately had to come home and prepare for a meeting.
I cannot think of any starship names, sorry ND.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
While cruising Cake Wrecks, I discovered a cake filed under wrecks, that billytea would delight in - [link]
Yay for finding a roommate, smonster.
I think we've found a car.

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

Hee. That's actually pretty good. (In answer to a comment in-thread, there are other mole rat species with fur, if not an Old Navy seater.) Mole rats lack a subcutaneous layer of fat, which is what makes them look all wrinkly; it'd be hard to represent that properly in a cake.

All is well that ends in pizza.
What about names from Heinlein,
Dora, Gay Deceiver, City of Chillicothe, Evening Star, Valkyrie, Vanguard, New Frontiers, Envoy, Champion...
Hmm or from Firefly...
