Today we've got a new Original Series fiver: Five-Minute "The Cloud Minders" by IJD GAF. Thought for the day: PHP subsites are indeed easier to update.


By the way, on Wednesday and Thursday last week we hit a new daily hitcount record, breaking 1000 for the first time. (The new record is about 1110.) This is largely due to being linked from a porn site.... (That link [iost_uid0]is[/iost_uid0] actually work-safe. Apparently there's a filtered version of the site.)[/colorost_uid0]

On the other hand, the homepage says that the fiver is "by Zeke". [/colorost_uid0]

Charming.

[quoteost_uid0]Uhura: The High Advisor of Ardana has requested you beam down to the cloud city below.
Kirk: We will therefore beam down to the entrance of the mines on the surface.
Spock: Why do you not trust Advisor Plasus' coordinates?
Kirk: I knew the guy once. He was a scoundrel. [/quoteost_uid0]

Heheheh. The "Empire" references were great.

[quoteost_uid0]Vanna: You idiot, you really thought I believed that "mask" crap? Now get on all fours and mine this zienite.
Kirk: Ooo, kinky!
Vanna: And don't enjoy it!
Kirk: Aw.
[/quoteost_uid0]

The S&M references were also very funny, if not slightly disturbing, And considering the influx of visitors from the porn site, it makes you wonder if the 5MV is taking some new direction? [/colorost_uid0]

Plasus: Hence the "ACK!"
Kirk: Oh, you meant that piece. I was looking at the Pollock. [/quoteost_uid0]ACKtion paintings?

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Kirk: Yeah! We're here to undress you!
Droxine: I wanna be undressed....

...
McCoy: I studied a sample of zienite, and discovered that the mineral emits harmful radiation which retards the brain.
Kirk: Huh?
McCoy: It makes you stupider.
Kirk: Huh?
McCoy: Me smart. You grow dumb.
Kirk: Ah, gotcha.

McCoy: ....so you see, by using these stylish filter masks the Troglytes will be smarter and cooler.
Plasus: (on screen) That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. I won't allow you to pass them out.
Kirk: Even if we include them in "Vote for Plasus" baggies, with badges and stickers and miniature lawn signs?
Plasus: Ooooo.
...
Spock: Can't I blame the zienite like you?
Kirk: The what?
Spock: The "magic hurty stuff"
Kirk: Oh, that.

...
Spock: So are we on par for a happy ending now, or what?
Kirk: A what?
Spock: An "Episode make feel good"?[/quoteost_uid0]

LOL! I remember that old Nickelodeon TV show! The one with the guy who played the black Power Ranger on it, and the kids who were from places that it would be impossible for them to be from! Like Mercury! Or the Andromeda galaxy! Crazy, silly show! I love the obscure references!!

....

Anybody remember what it was called? Space Cases, maybe?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid11]The thought of a children's show created in part by Peter "I'm a One-Trick Pony" David is distinctly disturbing. I hope you aren't referring to the Star Trek writer... [/colorost_uid11]
