Nicolai,
I'm sorry. Truthfully, he ticked me off. I responded. I suppose
I should have cooled off before responding. I future, I will. When I
typed the above, I was hoping to get his attention. I stepped over the
line on this one. For that, I'm sorry. I promise to be good from now on.
At your Service,

Thank you, they sound delightful. I like picking up stories like that
for several reasons. First, I really like fanciful stories. I'm a bit
of a romantic. Second, as a writer, I like seeing how everyone else does
it. Finally, I'm putting together a library for my children (assuming I
ever get the chance to have any) before the government decides to take
all these books from the shelves.
Oh, and thank you for the spoiler warning. A read it anyway, as I'm a
very curious man. But I do appreciate the consideration. Yes, I agree
with the idea of trying it on some politicians.

Okay, here it is. I've read almost all of the Star Trek and Star Wars books
around, and I need to know a few things. Also, I seem to be one of the only
people to have read the Dragon Knight series. If anyone else has read them,
I'd like to talk to you. Later.

Star Trek..
JH> I enjoy watching DS9, but Voyager, sometimes it's good, while at

JH> slowly starting to push me away. Unless they start coming up
JH> with good scripts, I may write it off too.
CL> I was concerned about DS9 for a while...and really leary about Worf

CL> finding a friend in Dax...it's interesing how quickly he replaced
CL> Deanna Troy, isn't it?
JH> Worf's relationship with Odo is somewhat interesting, in fact,
JH> it's beginning to look a little like Odo's relationship with
JH> Quark.
It seems that Odo has that effect on people. Maybe it's one of those Love
Hate relationships....I think if it came down to the wire Odo and Quark and
probably even Worf would give everything to save the other.
JH> Last month, I got the chance to see Terry Farrel at a
JH> convention. She's a very entertaining speaker. Seeing her
JH> handle a 10 foot albino python was also interesting.
Bet that was interesting....where did you get to see her?
JH> The ghosts of Battlestar Galactica and Space 1999 still haunt me
JH> when I see Voyager.
CL> I really like Battlestar Galactica...but then I was a teenage with a
CL> HUGE crush on Dirk Benedict, too...As for Space 1999, I couldn't stand
JH> I enjoyed Galactica's first few episodes, but it did later go
JH> down hill for me. It's spinoff, Galactica 1980, was a major
JH> disappointment for me. Space:1999 during its first season had
JH> some good stories, but the second season(which included Fred
JH> Frieberger, the producer of Star Trek's last season, and the
JH> introduction of a shapeshifting alien) really sucked the sewage.
JH> I still have my 2.5 foot long Eagle One playset around here
JH> somewhere. I also have a toy Cylon Raider spaceship, one of the
JH> ones that fires missiles, that were pulled from the market after
JH> a child suffered a choking accident.
I must say, I did like the ships in Galactica. I really thought the cylon
ships were the epidomy of a "flying saucer".

Speak for yourself!;)

Hi.. well, I've been watching the show itself for about a year and

What do you want to talk about?

That's the FILK echo, the tagname is FILK, and it can be picked up off the

:->)
BANNED FROM ARGO
by Leslie Fish
When we pulled into Argo Port in need of R. & R.,
The crew set out investigating every joint and bar.
We had high expectations of their hospitality,
But found too late it wasn't geared for spacers such as we.
Chorus
And we're banned from Argo, everyone.
Banned from Argo just for having a little fun.
We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four,
But Argo doesn't want us anymore.
The Captain's tastes were simple, but his methods were complex.
We found him with five partners, each of a different world and sex.
The Shore Police were on the way--we had no second chance.
We beamed him up in the nick of time--and the remnants of his pants.
Our Engineer would yield to none at putting down the brew;
He outdrank seven space marines and a demolition crew.
The Navigator didn't win, but he outdrank almost all,
And now they've got a shuttlecraft on the roof of City Hall.
Our proper, cool First Officer was drugged with something green,
And hauled into an alley, where he suffered things obscene.
He sobered up in Sickbay and he's none the worse for wear,
Except he's somehow taught the bridge computer how to swear.
The Head Nurse disappeared awhile in the major Dope Bazarr,
Buying an odd green potion "guaranteed to cause Pon-Farr".
She came home with no uniform and an oddly cheerful heart,
And a painful way of walking--with her feet a yard apart.
Our lady of Communications won a ship-wide bet
By getting into the planet's main communications net.
Now every time someone calls up on an Argo telescreen,
The flesh is there, but the clothes they wear are nowhere to be seen.
Our Doctor loves Humanity; his private life is quiet.
The Shore Police arrested him for inciting whores to riot.
We found him in the city jail, locked on and beamed him free--
Intact except for hickeys and six kinds of VD.
Our Helmsman loves exotic plants; the plants all love him too.
He took some down on leave with him and we wondered what they'd do,
'Til the planetary governor called and swore upon his life
That a gang of plants entwined his house and then seduced his wife!
A gang of pirates landed, and nobody seemed to care.
They stamped into the nearest bar to announce that they were there.
Half our crew was busy there, and invited them to play,
But the pirates only looked at us, and turned and ran away.
Our crew is Starfleet's finest, and our record is our pride.
