Many apologies. I shant bring it up again. How about "The differences between Americans and Canadians" jokes? Are those still ok?

Is this as bad, or worse, than two exclamation points?

Nate the Great 09-07-2006 10:51 PM

Shant? Haven't heard that word since the last time I watched the old Parent Trap movie. Wow.

Zeke 09-08-2006 12:02 AM

You hadn't really crossed the line yet, MJ. I was just letting you know before you did. And yeah, jokes about nationalities are fine, just not politics -- some people are very touchy about that. I learned the hard way.

Mighty Jalapeno 09-08-2006 03:46 PM

No kidding. I got temp-banned from NPF last night for talking about Iraq.

....

So.... Star Trek, eh?

Zeke 09-08-2006 05:50 PM

"Star Trek"? Never heard of it.

Can anyone hear that spinning sound? I think it's coming from the direction of Gene Roddenberry's grave..


(Had he been buried)

Mighty Jalapeno 09-08-2006 08:18 PM

We could wrap him in copper wire and power a city with him.

Don't you know? They've been doing that ever since Enterprise premiered.

PHJ, the correct statement is "Enterprise was okay, but all the extras made it hard to see Trip sometimes."

Anyone else enjoy seeing Roddenberry's Enterprise coffin in the Dilbert cartoon?

mudshark 09-09-2006 12:00 AM

Don't recall that one.


*hands evay another olive loaf*

What? http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2.../whistle-1.gif

I think the real irony of the bashers' constant "spinning in his grave" comments is that everyone knows Gene was cremated. Some of his ashes were launched into orbit, remember?

Mighty Jalapeno 09-09-2006 03:48 AM

Ok, so his urn is orbiting. Soon it will create gravity, and destroy the Earth in a hellish forestorm of condensed matter.

Zeke 09-09-2006 03:49 AM

I like the way you think.

That's not a compliment.

PointyHairedJedi 09-09-2006 04:15 PM

I'm terribly facetious sometimes, you know. ;)

If you were excellently facetious, I wouldn't have needed the olive loaf. ;)

PointyHairedJedi 09-10-2006 04:13 PM

I'm never excellent at anything - far better in my book to be really bad at lots of different things. If I'm going to be a failure, I might as well really excel at it!

Mighty Jalapeno 09-10-2006 04:51 PM

If you try to fail, and succeed, what have you done?

Gatac 09-10-2006 07:19 PM

Annoyed me. :)
