[color=#000000ost_uid0]-38. Your first reaction at hearing the phrase "J.C. Penney's" is surprise at the idea that the federal government would be minting a coin in honor of Voyager, followed by a sense of betrayal that your best friend would lie to you, even something as minor as "Hey, I heard President Bush is a C/7er. Honest!"[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]-39. You've started watching Trek series you previously hadn't just so you could read the fivers for them.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]-40. On the way home, you see a sign outside an Arby's restaurant advertising a "99-cent Chili Cheese Burger", and you immediately try to imagine a TJI in which the Chili Joke Police perform a sting operation against the place. ::blush::[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Zeke, are you offering to let Celeste pick the top ten and try to somehow get the list up on the site? Or are you encouraging Celeste to just sit quietly and wait for an event that will never happen? :S[/colorost_uid0]

Not to be confused with the Pseudepigrafivica (drafts of fivers that never got published).[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Celeste, If you [iost_uid0][bost_uid0][uost_uid0]really, really[/uost_uid0][/iost_uid0][/bost_uid0] want your TopTen list put on the site, why don't you hack into the site and [iost_uid0]place[/iost_uid0] it there? I remember I did that once when I...woah...too many details.

Let's try this little-known iB Code tag...

Captain Galactic is in orbit above Nicaragua!


EDIT:Cooool...it's all red...[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]-41: You start suffering withdrawl symptoms when you can't go to 5MV for one reason or another. (This actually happened to me when the site was down last month.)[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]-44. Every time you click on a topic and see that someone has used an extra ? or !, you instinctively bolt from your chair, charge heedlessly out of the house, and dive for the bomb-proof shelter you spent a week assembling for this very purpose.

-45. You wince every time you turn on the radio in the middle of "Land of a Thousand Dances".

(That was supposed to be self-deprecating. Go ahead, laugh already. )[/colorost_uid0]
