Hey all. Zeke here with a very special update. This, at last, is the TJI special I've been working on since friggin' February! Not one, not three, but six brand new articles await you in This Just In WUXTRY #1: Enterprise Cancellation Spectacular. Today, of course, the last two new episodes of Enterprise air, so there can be no better day for this update. This is my parting salute to a brilliant series that went before its time -- and not just the cast and crew, but also the many people and websites which have so enhanced my enjoyment of the show. Enterprise has been a great way to spend four years, and this is my lovingly vicious thank you to the whole community. And that's not all! I have two other pieces of good news. One, these articles should be appearing shortly as a special feature at TrekToday. Two, believe it or not, having to work on fivers offline has been exactly what I needed -- I've written three since the ban, two of which are Enterprise fivers from Season 3! That's right, I've finally sat down and written what I always meant to write for "Azati Prime" and "Damage." When I finish the other two, I'll publish S3's Final Four in a four-day event, and then get started on S4. Today's update is the beginning of our ENT coverage in the weeks to come. (Just for the record, though, I'm not technically back yet. Kira's still in charge till Tuesday or so.)

...Wow.
I'm in shock. Not one, but six articles? At once? :lol: That was a true piece of awesomeness.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Zeke, you rock! I so totally needed that laugh this morning. You're a peach. And I'm really impressed that you spelled my name correctly. You have no idea how the telemarketers screw it up.
To explain about, uh, that other site: We host six or seven websites, but we only own one IP. So we use software to create virtual domains. That other site belongs to a coworker of hubby's. It's the most recent site we added, so for some reason if you don't use the WWW, the triphammered name defaults to that one. It's amusing in an annoying sort of way.

Great stuff Zeke!
No wonder it took so long, that much humor doesn't just appear out of thin air!

^ Yeah, I had to Google that, since I didn't know either. Apparently it is newsboy slang for Extra, as in "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" Apparently as the word was said it sort of morphed into Wuxtry, so the cry would be "Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Read all about it!"
That's my half-remembered, 5-second Googling of the word, I'm sure someone more knowlegable will jump in soon and supplement my information.

^ I had run across it before (turned up in a Pynchon novel) but I had to Google it as a memory-refresher. From what I recall, it was in use during the 1940s, probably (my speculation, here) filtered through a strong Noo Yawk/Joisey accent.
Ah, here we go: Quote:

And all this time I thought they were saying Extry.

So indeed, I am back. And guess what? I got not one, not twelve, but five fivers done on paper while I was gone. I'm in gear again! Hail to the king, baby! Anyway, here's a link for today. Over at TripHammered, evay is conducting a survey on what readers want her site to do from now on. (5MV will be doing something like this soon, so take notes.) Let her know what you want!

Heh. True to form, Whettestone blew a gasket. :lol:
He seems to be better now. Looking forward to new ENT fivers.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, if I were you. Whettestone (like James Dixon) is always looking for an excuse to spew. If he can't find one convenient, he'll just spew, anyway. As I said, true to form.

There's a name I haven't seen in a while. I knew James Dixon back when he was a malcontent back on Fidonet. Does he still hate Okuda and every form of Trek after 1978?
