LMNAO!!!!!!!! Reminds me of DS9, the ep in which Quark analogizes the Federation to a mug of root beer, being this tall, cold glass of dark stuff with a white, fuzzy top that sprays bubbles up your nose when you move to drink it. At the first sip, you realize how cloyingly, sickeningly sweet it is, and you put it down immediately afterward, frowning, saying, "That the worst-tasting stuff I've ever had! I'm never trying that again!"
And, a minute or so later, you find yourself sipping at it again, with the same result. You realize that those it is cloying and sickeningly sweet, you just can't get enough of it... ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Majel Roddenberry, wife of 'Trek' creator, dies Date : Mon, 5 Jan 2009 06:34:23 -0500 From : "Justin Mohareb" <justinmoha...@gmail.com> To : scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com I knew a guy who described Stargate as "Red State Star Trek".
