[color=#000000ost_uid0]Zeke again with the third day of Next Generation Week: TNG. Â Here's Five-Minute "Hollow Pursuits," by Marc. Â (Hands up all who haven't noticed the pattern yet... yeah, that's what I thought.)
[Edit] Well, well! Looks like there's more to say today than I thought. I just recounted the Fiver By Author pages in About (the Stats links) and noticed that Marc now has 41 fivers -- which pulls him out in front of both IJD and Derek, who are tied at 40. Given the friendly rivalry the staff have had going for a while, this may not last long....[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Holo-Picard: You make me laugh, sir! I, Porthos, am quite able to handle you on my own!
Barclay: Hah! Come one step closer and I shall skewer you like a cube of cheese, you dog![/quoteost_uid0] I should've seen that one coming... Funny stuff. :smile: Oh, and yeah, now that I look at it, I see the pattern. Heh.[/colorost_uid0]

As in Elbonia? Great stuff, Marc. And Zeke, does this mean that TAS fivers aren't being counted as 0.5 anymore?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes, for two reasons: (1) I decided that was dumb because those fivers aren't much shorter on average, and (2) I noticed I'd already forgotten to count IJD's TAS fivers as 0.5, inflating his total.[/colorost_uid0]

Great stuff, Marc.[/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0] [color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm thinking: Elba, as in a place to keep Napoleon (or at least someone who might be crazy enough to [iost_uid0]think[/iost_uid0] he's Napoleon. :insert coo-coo smiley here: ) But yes, great stuff.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]>> I'm thinking: Elba, as in a place to keep Napoleon <<
Yup, it's where Napoleon was first sent into exile, to get rid of him. There's a famous palindrome on this subject: "Able was I ere I saw Elba."[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]The Porthos tie-in was very amusing indeed.
Good job, Marc! [/colorost_uid0] |

[/quoteost_uid0] For the record, I was going to say "Oh, sure, exile the poor guy" before everyone beat me to it. Well, you could transfer him to the USS[iost_uid0]Elba[/iost_uid0] until his next appearance and then send him to the [iost_uid0]St. Helena[/iost_uid0].[/colorost_uid0]
