Top Ten Signs You've Been Hanging Around 5MV Too L - ong. C'mon, everybody have a go. S'fun

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]10. You use the word "spluck" in normal conversation.

Somehow I forsee this getting into negative numbers.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]9. You use the phrase "DIE! DIE! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!" when people anger you.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]8.You make a joke comparing an actor you dislike with "Wood Boy" and are flabbergasted when the joke is met with utter silence and strange looks.


(By the way, I'm guilty of Kira's #9 up there. But I haven't actually said it to anyone, just thought it.)[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]7. The word GAK begins to creep into other literary endeavours...and you add in more deaths so you can say "GAK" again.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]6. You rename your dog "Porthos" and start referring in mixed company to his/her adventures with chili and cheese.

(Edit) That's all right with me, Kira, but as Sa'ar mentioned, this can go into negative numbers. But I don't want to hog these either, and I'm out of ideas right now. So I'll quit for the night, I guess. :) :zzz:[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]No offense, guys, but give some of the other forumgoers a chance to chip in.[/color:post_uid0]

[mudshark]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]5. You are indecently amused by the response "Bite me."[/color:post_uid0]

[FatMatDuhRat]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]4.[/b:post_uid0] You begin to have online converastions where you
describe last night's episode as if you were writing a
Fiver version of it. [b:post_uid0][u:post_uid0]Example:[/u:post_uid0][/b:post_uid0]

[b:post_uid0]FatMat:[/b:post_uid0] And then the NX-01 got trapped, and Archer said...

Archer: Doesn't anybody on this ship know ANY-thing?
Trip: Don't look at me.
T'Pol: Perhaps you should ask yr dog.
Porthos: *Arf!*

[b:post_uid0]FatMat:[/b:post_uid0] So Porthos had to fly the ship, it was great!
:D :p[/color:post_uid0]

[Things Are Good]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]3. The word "pie" manages to creep into every sentence you say, relevant or not.[/color:post_uid0]

[Opium]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]2. Whenver someone says they like chili, you say "Grr, Arg, you dogeater, I'll get you with the Hammer of Crushing at Ludicrous Speed"[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]1. Whenever anyone says to you they'll do something "soon", you wonder if they mean the real "soon" or Zeke "soon".[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]rofl Derek's is the best.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]0. Your best friend: Hey, I want you to meet Katy here.
Katy: Hi, pleased to meet you!
You: (fighting back an embarrassing urge to reply "Ribbit")[/color:post_uid0]

[Kristina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-1. You feel compelled to make Sa'ar Chasm achieve prophethood (see, we got into negative numbers), and

-2. You weren't one bit surprised to see Reason #1 on the list, since your thoughts wandered off in just that direction.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-3. Your most common phrase is "Bite me."[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-4. After watching [i:post_uid0]any[/i:post_uid0] TV program you immediately wonder if there's a fiver for it already.

-5. ...and when you realize there isn't, you start wondering if you could five it....[/color:post_uid0]

[FatMatDuhRat]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]OMG![/b:post_uid0] I was thinking that [i:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]exact same thing[/b:post_uid0][/i:post_uid0] the other night
while my mom was wathcing [b:post_uid0]Columbo![/b:post_uid0]
:lol: :D
That's a good one, Derek![/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-6 You start speaking in acronyms starting with 5, and get upset when anyone spells out the word.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-7. Running late for a key demonstration against high zucchini prices, you accidentally grab the wrong sign, a worn, faded piece of construction paper reading "ZonK for President", out of sheer habit.

(Think about the implications of that one for a moment)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-8. The word 'clone' immediately brings a certain name to mind, regardless of the circumstances.

-9. You get a feeling of guitly pleasure every time you use the word 'the' in an acronym[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I've certainly done that last one.[/color:post_uid0]

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-10 When at the bowling alley, you constantly refer to the 'transwarp bowling ball of destiny'

-11 You threaten your friends if they use more than one exclamation mark in a sentence[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I like that #-10! :D

-12. When the optometrist asks you to read the 20/15 line on the eye chart (HARIWMW), you squint and say: "N...umm, A...H...I or T...M...Hey, not only can I read it, I know the guy!"[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]rofl took me a sec to get that one NAH.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-12.5: Every random song, Monty Python quote or Simpsons episode provokes the thought "I have to work that into a fiver somehow."[/color:post_uid0]

[Captain Galactic]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-13: Going into negative numbers in a top ten list does not surprise you in any way, shape or form.

-14: When anyone pulls out a large, engraved hammer, you cringe and run.

I've done #9 before, whislt playing football. American football.[/color:post_uid0]

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-15 You refer to all of your relationships as " 'ships ", and only use your initial and your partner's, seperated by a slash.

(example: Z/K)[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Damn, all the good ones are already done!

Hmmmmmmmm...

-16: You've had a joke in mind for [i:post_uid0]months[/i:post_uid0] but haven't had time to five anything. You're slowly going insane waiting for an opportunity to use it.

I do exposition, not humour. ;)

~Nan[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I've done an entire fiver solely to use a single joke I thought up.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-17. You discuss your favorite episodes with a friend and are either hopelessly confused or convinced your friend has an awful memory when he insists he doesn't remember seeing anyone wearing little hats in "The Trouble With Tribbles". :smile:[/color:post_uid0]

[MmeBlueberry]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-18. Occasional discovery that thoughts are being processed in "Topic Title" format.[/color:post_uid0]

[Things Are Good]

[quote:post_uid0="MmeBlueberry"][color=#000000:post_uid0]-18. Occasional discovery that thoughts are being processed in "Topic Title" format.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Damn, I was gonna use that too. :)

Oh well...[/color:post_uid0]

[Opium]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-19. Whenever someone says something stupid, you have the habit of replying "Illogic makes Baby Surak cry".[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]:lol: That was a great one, MmeBlueberry!

-20. You are firmly convinced that you could take over the entire galaxy, if only you could find a cute-enough little monkey.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]What about a cute enough little dog? :D

::waits for someone to say "I thought you were a cat!"::[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[quote:post_uid0="Kira"][color=#000000:post_uid0]I've done an entire fiver solely to use a single joke I thought up.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Oh? Which one?

I have bent and twisted entire sections of fiver around to fit a joke I thought was funny. Hehehe.


~Nan[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[quote:post_uid0="Opium"][color=#000000:post_uid0]-19. Whenever someone says something stupid, you have the habit of replying "Illogic makes Baby Surak cry".[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]*falls off chair laughing*

So funny and evil... in SO many ways. :)


~Nan[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0="Nan"]Oh? Which one?[/quote:post_uid0]
"Alliances", for this scorekeeping joke:

[b:post_uid0]Seska:[/b:post_uid0] Ha! Seska 1, Chakotay 0!
[b:post_uid0]Culluh:[/b:post_uid0] Ahem.
[b:post_uid0]Seska:[/b:post_uid0] Oops. I mean, Maj Culluh 1, Chakotay 0.
[b:post_uid0]Culluh:[/b:post_uid0] That's better.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-21. You've been hanging around 5MV too long when you can recite from memory, verbatim and in order of publication, every single fiver reference to J/C from all the sections combined. :O

(Edit) I didn't say that it applied to myself, Zeke. I merely hypothesized a qualitatively high probability that the trait postulated is invariably characteristic of a being who has spent an undesirably lengthy time suspended from any of various supports which are in immediate proximity to the "Five-Minute Voyager" website.

But since you ask, well, I do remember Chakotay got a cameo in "Broken Bow", although that was in connection with the running "wood" joke. Maybe there was something in an ENT fiver about one of the men and one of the women being stranded on a planet together...?[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Oh yeah? Name one from Enterprise without looking.[/color:post_uid0]

[ijdgaf]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]-22:[/b:post_uid0] You find yourself thinking of "5M.." abbreviations for shows, then try as hard as you can to resist asking Zeke if he needs another section head....

wait, that sounds entirely too familiar :D

[i:post_uid0]edit: stupid second page interfering w/ my numbering system...[/i:post_uid0][/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-23. You take pride in your ability to tell who wrote a new fiver by reading the first few lines of the fiver (kinda like that game show where you name the song titles). You take great offense at any suggestions that you merely cheat by looking at the author line beneath the episode title.

-23.b. You do not, in fact, need to peek at the author line to tell who wrote it.[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[quote:post_uid0="NAHTMMM"][color=#000000:post_uid0](Edit) I didn't say that it applied to myself, Zeke. I merely hypothesized a qualitatively high probability that the trait postulated is invariably characteristic of a being who has spent an undesirably lengthy time suspended from any of various supports which are in immediate proximity to the "Five-Minute Voyager" website.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Right. My mistake.

[quote:post_uid0]But since you ask, well, I do remember Chakotay got a cameo in "Broken Bow", although that was in connection with the running "wood" joke. Maybe there was something in an ENT fiver about one of the men and one of the women being stranded on a planet together...?[/quote:post_uid0]

Bingo. "Strange New World" has several references to "Resolutions".[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It's quite all right, Zeke. ;) The first thing that came to mind was a comment about lizard offspring, but then I remembered that wasn't even J/C... :D


Heh, I just saw the St. Paddy's Day addition to the 5MV homepage. Nice work! :)

-24. Having been given a writing assignment to discuss a specific work of satire of your choice, you write a five-page essay claiming that "Episode II title causes AI research catastrophe" is the single greatest satirical story in the history of mankind.[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[quote:post_uid0="NAHTMMM"][color=#000000:post_uid0](Edit) I didn't say that it applied to myself, Zeke.[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]No offense, NAHTMMM, but I find it disconcerting when you edit your posts after other people have posted below you. Typically, whenever there are new posts, I just jump to the bottom post and don't re-read any of the previous posts to see if anyone has amended their previous posts. I know that I personally would prefer that you just append a new post to the end of the discussion (especially since there is no max reply limit), but maybe that's just me.

Edits strike me as being tools for correcting misspellings and grammar, but new thoughts and amendments seem more appropriate as separate posts. (Then again I may just be despising Edits because they keep striking me.)[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I'm with Derek on this one. (In fact, Kira and I had just been discussing it.) Let's keep the discussions linear, folks.[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It's not just you. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-25. You don't bother reading synopsis' of Trek episodes to find out what happened any more - you just go to 5MV instead.

I was also going to say something along the lines of being able to name half a dozen fivers off the cuff in which you'dve liked to see the quote "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off", but I think thats just me.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]Let's keep the discussions linear, folks.[/quote:post_uid0]

Linear? What is this?

(Sorry, Zeke, I had to do it. My name is sarcasm, after all.)[/color:post_uid0]

[dsbs]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]- 26. You've memorized entire fivers and scare your friends laughing randomly at lines from them at completely inappropriate times (it's not necassarily funny, but it's true.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hmmmm... dunno how funny this is...

-27: Pie has considerable significance in daily life.



~Nan[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-28. If you've ever pored over the Apocryphive (early drafts of published fivers), trying to find hidden predictions foreseeing the appearance of C/7 and the resulting collapse of the universe. [img:post_uid0]http://3sygma.com/fiveminute/forums/html/non-cgi/emoticons/eek5.gif[/img:post_uid0][/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-29 You knew what the Apocrophive was without having to have it explained.[/color:post_uid0]

[ijdgaf]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-30: You type "http://www.3sygma.com/fiveminute/" preceding every series and episode name yet to be published, hoping to find unpublished material.

And yes, i did this -- but not for very many episodes before I gave up (and this was before I was privy to the info to begin with :) )

-31: You have a gut-wrenching feeling this will become the next "Topic Title".[/color:post_uid0]

[Captain Galactic]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Wonders who will make this another "Topic Title".
Wonders if that made sense. Wonders who invented this. Hits head with hand.[/color:post_uid0]

[Things Are Good]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-32: For a fleeting moment, you wonder why newbies are posting in this thread. :p[/color:post_uid0]

[Captain Galactic]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-32.12482: You feel compelled to mention that even though you are a [i:post_uid0]board[/i:post_uid0] newbie, you are not a [i:post_uid0]5MV[/i:post_uid0] newbie. (right back at 'cha, Things are Good :p)

-33: Your friends think it is perfectly normal for you to quote parts of fivers at random.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-34. You react to the third post above by laughing evilly and congratulating yourself for having corrupted another mind.[/color:post_uid0]

[Opium]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Captain Galactic, I've been posting only for a short time but have been READING fivers for a while. So a big "NAY NAY We've crushed you good" to Things are Good!

-35. To my post, you picture me crushing Thing Are Good with a big hammer, even though you have never seen us...or the hammer[/color:post_uid0]

[Things Are Good]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-36: You have an urge to defend yourself in list format.

-37: You seem to be making comments to others in list format.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-38. Your first reaction at hearing the phrase "J.C. Penney's" is surprise at the idea that the federal government would be minting a coin in honor of Voyager, followed by a sense of betrayal that your best friend would lie to you, even something as minor as "Hey, I heard President Bush is a C/7er. Honest!"[/color:post_uid0]

[Derek]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-39. You've started watching Trek series you previously hadn't just so you could read the fivers for them.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]K, now i've done that one :D[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-40. On the way home, you see a sign outside an Arby's restaurant advertising a "99-cent Chili Cheese Burger", and you immediately try to imagine a TJI in which the Chili Joke Police perform a sting operation against the place. ::blush::[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I think another ten will be more than enough.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]I think another ten will be more than enough.[/quote:post_uid0]

Right now it's at prairie-winter level.

(See, Kira? Told you we'd get here).[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]::waits for zeke to pick the top ten and put up a list on the site:: :P[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Shouldn't we have at least another seven, Celeste? ;)

Oh, wait, technically we already passed that...whoops. Never mind.[/color:post_uid0]

[Zeke]

[quote:post_uid0="Celeste"][color=#000000:post_uid0]::waits for zeke to pick the top ten and put up a list on the site:: :P[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Can I hold you to that? 'Cause I'm not going to be doing so. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Zeke, are you offering to let Celeste pick the top ten and try to somehow get the list up on the site? Or are you encouraging Celeste to just sit quietly and wait for an event that will never happen? :S[/color:post_uid0]

[Kira]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]The latter, doubtless.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Zeke, you shoulda just said "Soon." Then we all would have understood. ;P

btw. you're mean. hmph :P[/color:post_uid0]

[Marc]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]>> the Apocryphive (early drafts of published fivers) <<

Not to be confused with the Pseudepigrafivica (drafts of fivers that never got published).[/color:post_uid0]

[Captain Galactic]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Celeste, If you [i:post_uid0][b:post_uid0][u:post_uid0]really, really[/u:post_uid0][/i:post_uid0][/b:post_uid0] want your TopTen list put on the site, why don't you hack into the site and [i:post_uid0]place[/i:post_uid0] it there? I remember I did that once when I...woah...too many details.

Let's try this little-known iB Code tag...

<span id='ME'><center>Captain Galactic is in orbit above Nicaragua!</center></span>

[MPQ]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-41: You start suffering withdrawl symptoms when you can't go to 5MV for one reason or another. (This actually happened to me when the site was down last month.)[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-42. Holding of tearful annual candlelight vigil early each March for "Topic Title".[/color:post_uid0]

[Anonymous]

[quote:post_uid0="Things Are Good"][color=#000000:post_uid0]-32: For a fleeting moment, you wonder why newbies are posting in this thread. :p[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]In case you were talking about me - I've been looking at this site for years, I was just to shy to talk or anything until now. If not, then scratch that.[/color:post_uid0]

[dsbs]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-43. You think and speak in 5M format.

It's really quite sad. (and i meant dsbS on the last post. Sorry).[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-44. Every time you click on a topic and see that someone has used an extra ? or !, you instinctively bolt from your chair, charge heedlessly out of the house, and dive for the bomb-proof shelter you spent a week assembling for this very purpose.

-45. You wince every time you turn on the radio in the middle of "Land of a Thousand Dances".

(That was supposed to be self-deprecating. Go ahead, laugh already. ;))[/color:post_uid0]

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Man, I found this topic a little too late. Oh well.

-46. You believe your version of the fiver would have been much better

-47. You base your friends on whether or not they believe in the same star trek relationship as you, like J/Cers

-48. You refer to Technobabble whenever you are dealing with a technology problem that is over your head.[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-49. You read war propaganda promising victory "soon" and don't believe it.

-49a. The reason for this is not cynicism.[/color:post_uid0]

[Captain Galactic]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-50: You are proud to be the fiftyest of anything, because 50 is a multiple of 5.

EDIT: Is "fiftyest" a word?[/color:post_uid0]

[Saxamaphone]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ooo - can I backtrack?

-47a. You make a big deal about the 47th anything.[/color:post_uid0]

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Duh! How could have I missed that *hits head on desk 47 times*

I am also wondering why my name is never listed in the "Active Member" list. I am clearly logged in, and I all the options set right.[/color:post_uid0]

[entei]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-51. You let out a guilty little laugh every time you come across a certain character in Watership Down.

(Oh come on, you knew I was going to say it) :D

-52. You instinctively keep going to 3sygma.com/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi, and wonder where the forum is[/color:post_uid0]

[Saxamaphone]

[quote:post_uid0="Captain Galactic"][color=#000000:post_uid0]EDIT: Is "fiftyest" a word?[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]No, but "fiftieth" is.

And [b:post_uid0]Neo:[/b:post_uid0] no worries man, your 47 was great - it was just an opportunity that I personally couldn't pass up.

By the way - I've heard from some others that they've had trouble with showing up on the active users list - nuts.[/color:post_uid0]

[Celeste]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Like meeeee.[/color:post_uid0]

[Wonko The Sane]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-53. After discovering that you are not on the active members list, you go on a hunger strike (yes...pie included) until the problem is fixed.

Sorry, had to be done. :D

-54. Your business plan revolves around money making moths.[/color:post_uid0]

[Opium]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-55. You insticntivly ask this question: "What do have agaist !!!'s and ???'s in "Top Ten Signs" form :)

-56. After taking a break from the 'net to play way too much Sims, your first stop back is 5MV.[/color:post_uid0]

[NAHTMMM]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-57. You are disappointed, but not surprised at all, to find zero updates awaiting you after an entire three-and-a-half days of vacation. You do however feel the beginnings of a classic case of Update Withdrawal.[/color:post_uid0]

[MmeBlueberry]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-58. You can't watch certain episodes without laughing at inappropriate times as you remember the fivers for them.[/color:post_uid0]

[PointyHairedJedi]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah, you can tell by the fact that I didn't back up any of the Fiver By Committee first. :eyeroll:

Now Topic Title, on the other hand, Owen and I [i:post_uid0]had[/i:post_uid0] discussed "accidentally losing." Temporarily, to freak you guys out. And I wouldn't have had to pay him -- it was his idea.[/color:post_uid0]

[NeoMatrix]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]We already have an undercover Topic Title, 3 of them to be exact, lol.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]What's wrong with bringing dead topics back to life? After all, then they'd just have 20 years left at the most (barring sickness or injury). ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-91 You've come to expect B5 references from certain forumgoers.[/color:post_uid0]

[taya17]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It could be worse, his name could have been John Starkiller instead of Stargazer. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]-93 If you don't get a reference, you look at which forumgoer made it, and know more or less what to look for.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]98. When you get bored in class, you think of ways to kill John Sheridan, and are disapointed when someone else has already killed him twice that day.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Indeed... I must have read hundreds of them in the last few weeks, after my college went on Christmas break... And I`ve written more posts in the last two days than in the last three months, :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][quote:post_uid0]And I`ve written more posts in the last two days than in the last three months[/quote:post_uid0]
I noticed. You're not going for first, are you? :p[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Actually, I won`t stop until I outdeliver your number of posts, :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]*Grumble*

Taking in mind Sa'ar thought I could never get there at first, get on Yahoo. I need to hypnoti-- make a deal with you. Yes, that'll do.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yahoo? You mean, Yahoo Messenger? Actually, I`ve never used the thing... I`m rarely on Yahoo now, I`ve switched completely to Excite.

And what exactly is this dark, shadowy deal you have in mind? :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Then why do you have your Yahoo name in your profile?

I take it you donŽt have MSN either, then?[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I still occasionally use my old Yahoo and Hotmail email accounts, but I`ve never used Yahoo and MSN Messenger... I am on ICQ though... I`ve been rarely using that as well, but here`s the number: 95289699 (I`ll also put it in my profile, I forgot about it before...)

So we can discuss evil! :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Not right now, I'm afraid, I'm spending New Year with my friends, so I'm not home.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]No problem... whenever you`re free, :D

I was supposed to go out with my friend too, watch some fireworks on the main square, but... he cancelled on me, in the last minute. And I got stuck home alone for New Year`s night. Oh well... at least Enterprise is on TV, :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]You should have come here, I had double plans. :D

I believe some cousins are still mad at me for not spending New Year with them. :eyeroll:[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Thanks for the invite, but my transporter is malfunctioning, :) I`m still waiting for Scotty or O`Brien to come and take a look...

Besides, I don`t know where exactly do you live, which city. Let me guess:

Is it Waalwijk... Alkmaar... Sittard... or Roosendaal?

If I didn`t guess, all my hopes of developing telepathic abilities are gone. :D

Anyway, my current problem is that all my best friends are on college in Zagreb, the capital city, where I live, but during the holidays they are all scattered across the country. Either in Rijeka or Karlovac or Daruvar or Brod... And the only really good friend I have here in Zagreb is the one who cancelled on me today. Still, Christmas/New Year break on my college ends next week, so they will all return here very soon, :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]None of the above. Sorry for your telepathic abilities. :p I fact, I don't live in a city at all. I'm currently in one, though.
Beautiful fireworks here, too bad about all the buildings.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Why? What`s happening with the buildings? :D

So, where do you live, and where exactly are you now? In the spirit of Captain Archer, I`m very, very curious, :D[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, they were blocking my view so I had to thwap them down.

I live in the Netherlands and I am home right now. :p

Two words: Public forum. I'd be happy to discuss this over ICQ though.

I think Sittard is closest. ;)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Approximately, but my parents wouldn`t dream of giving me the car.

Perhaps because I still haven`t gone to driving school, :D

When I get the money to buy my own car, then I`ll learn how to drive. It`s just a waste of time and resources until then...[/color:post_uid0]

And it's still a little far to go by bike, so don't you have some kind of way-too-expensive-train-company like we do?

[quote:post_uid0]/big-country superiority complex (ask Cat)[/quote:post_uid0]
Yeah, he thinks Canada is bigger than Europe, which, of course, it is.[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yes, but I hate trains. They`re always late. And I hate buses - they are extremely uncomfortable and always play horrible music!

Yes, Canada`s big... To quote Mrs. Hansen, Seven of Nine`s mom: "It`s MASSIVE!"

Still, Croatia is bigger than The Netherlands :grins wickedly:[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Maybe so, but we have more coast. :p

And why are you not on ICQ? You [i:post_uid0]are[/i:post_uid0] this "Vik" person, right? :eyeroll:[/color:post_uid0]

[Nic Corelli]

[quote:post_uid0="catalina_marina"][color=#000000:post_uid0]Maybe so, but we have more coast. :p[/color:post_uid0][/quote:post_uid0]
[color=#000000:post_uid0]But, we have one thousand islands! I can`t imagine who has more. Canada and Norway maybe. Bwahahaha! :D

Sorry about ICQ, I`ve been very busy these last couple of days (busy= going out in the town, drinking coffee, black). I`ll be on ICQ today...[/color:post_uid0]

[Sa'ar Chasm]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]We have 1000 islands in one of our lakes alone, plus more coastline than you can shake an icebreaker at.

So nyah. I don't know what any of that proves, but nyah just the same.[/color:post_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It proves it can't be... companionable? Yeah, I heard once there's no proper English word for that. Anyway, the country is way too big for only twice our population.[/color:post_uid0]
