I did, oh, call it seven years of concert band before I switched to stage band. Now I can't play straight eights notes anymore.

I'll bet it would still be a lot easier for you to get straight eighths down again than it would be for those "dotted-triplet figure = jazz " guys to go the other way. They've had rigid and exact subdivision drummed into their heads for so long that most of them wouldn't be able to get the feel of anything as abstract as swing if their very lives depended on it.

Sheesh, is it "mutate a thread as quickly as possible" week?

I also gotta ask why you guys don't create your own threads more often.

The fun would be having more topics to post in.

I'm all for posting in more topics. I'm also all for annoying you. It's a tough decision to make.

You know, you're not the first person to find the idea of yanking my chain amusing. I guess I'm just that sort of person.

I think it's more that I'm the sort of person who finds the idea of annoying anybody amusing.

I tend to only create threads if I really have something to say, or I need help. Although really, 'I need help' should probably be my motto.

What was I saying? Oh right, tangential thread topics, and annoying Nate. Um... asparagus!

(thus proving the 'I need help' theory)

Best Singer in Trek! Well I voted Seven. Vic comes in second. I have no idea who Kevin Riley is (I hear you all shouting 'for shame'). Never heard Uhura sing. The rest I don't like, at all.

I only voted Seven over Vic because I personally prefer female singers.

Kevin Riley. He was a recurring background character in TOS, kinda like Barclay or Vorik. Proud Irishman. Bowling afficianado.

I never watched TOS. I honestly wouldn't be able to, not with the effects as they were. Riley sort of rings a bell.

All I know about TOS I learned on this site.

Then watch the restored version. The effects are much less painful.

Hmm... Maybe. I don't know how much luck I'd have finding it for hire, though. I'll try.

Ehh. After '60's/'70's Doctor Who, and the 90bn variations on the 'rubber and CSO' theme there, I personally find Shatner's...ahem...'acting' more brain-haemorrhage-inducing than the tacky special effects.

Oh, absolutely - much like the dialogue

Doesn't make it any less dumb, though

Why do I get the feeling that I'd get about five minutes into the first episode before saying 'screw it' and just coming here to read the fivers?

Actually, I think I'll go do that now.
