Well, I doubt it, because around here it's "Gak" not "Gack."

I think Gack is just the noise you make when someone starts strangling you to death.

Well, for all nonlethal stuff I think we use Ack.

Sometimes I use TACK!

You know. To stick stuff to walls.

I thought it was pfffpt. That's my best approximation of the sound Spider-Man's webbing makes when it hits a surface.

Oh, I'm well below xkcd's radar. If he ever reads this thread, he will laugh and laugh and laugh at the idea that I had anything to offer a juggernaut like him. Despite how much more experience I have and how similar our -- you know what? I'll just refer you to my previous rant.

Nate: "Kablazmo" was just standard fiver randomness. There really is no accounting for sound effects.

I live! I HUNGER!

A guy can dream, can't he?

Nexus: Ready or not, here I come!
Missile: Okay!
Enterprise-D: Kablazmo!
Missile Launcher: Kablazmo!
Veridian Star: Kablazmo!

Oh, and Wowbagger, it's stated quite clearly in the Glossary that FMV is Full Motion Video, and no matter how much I might dream about videofivers, they won't be happening soon. We used to be 5MV, emphasis on the "5."

Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

Also, comic books are halfway to video.

New point:

What is with these names? I know there's a Democratic representative from our state named Phyllis Khan. Are they all Khan names of immense obscurity or what?

Never seen the episode, but I'd guess that given
and Hollywood's racial makeup during the 1960's, Khan's followers all looked like they came from the other three-quarters of the world. ;)

Or possibly Khan's lackeys had weird names in the original episode, and GAFster ran with it and made them even weirder in the fiver.

We need a thread for "fiver jokes that occur to us years later." In this case, a counterpart to Paris' "Revenge of CONN" jokes, in this case, a CONN joke in the TWOK fiver.

You know, I'll bet we can use this thread. I mean, I really don't think we're exactly suffering from forum clutter around here.

Nate got me reading FM "Course: Oblivion". I never read most of the VOY fivers, I now realize, because, when I first found FMV, I hadn't seen most of the series.

Anyways, what's the double entendre here?

FMV? Still?

As to those names, I honestly don't know what to tell you. I imagine my thought process went something along the lines of "wow, I wonder what kind of unusual names I can get away with using here." Sorry to disappoint....

Would people PLEASE stop using F as a replacement for five? Please?

And the double entendre is that they're A. Fictional characters in a TV show and B. Clones of other fictional characters. Hence it's like one cartoon character doing and impression of another cartoon character.

This site shall always, forever, be Five Minute Voyager. And its voice shall echo through time long after FiveMinute.net has faded to a dim! Memory!

<__<

No, it's cool. The names are, indeed, absurd. I just did too much reading into them.

Nate, thanks. That does make some sense.

I don't have any problem with Five-Minute Voyager nostalgia, it's the perpetual use of the inaccurate FMV instead of 5MV that bugs me.

Yeah, Wowbagger. What is it with you and Four Minute Voyager?

Or even Full Motion Video.
