That was a list of MY fiving techniques. It's hardly conclusive. Coffee in the nebula is a classic "fiving in general" technique. No doubt if I ever had the honor of fiving a Voyager ep--
Eddie: Hi, I'm Eddie your shipboard computer! I'm here to make your life more and more bearable! What can I do for you?
Nate: I need--
Eddie: An improbability forecast?
Nate: Based on improbability data, yeah.
Eddie: Sure! Did you know that the odds of a Voyager episode being unsaved is negative infinity minus one to one against?
Nate: Yeah, I knew that.
Ahem. Anyway, if I did five Voyager the coffee in nebula joke would be a given if at all possible. There are any number of "fiving in general" techniques. That would really be the topic of another thread.
Anyway, rule seven is something I try to do whenever possible. I still reread older fivers and find stuff that falls into that category that I hadn't noticed the first time.
