Majel Roddenberry Dies At 76
unassimilatible writes "If there was ever a sad day for nerds, it's today, as Majel Barrett-Rodenberry has passed away. The widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry is best remembered as the gorgeous Nurse Christine Chapel from the original series, the pesky and officious Lwaxana Troi from The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and of course the ubiquitous voice of Star Trek computers in movies, TV, and animated films (who hasn't used her voice as a system sound on their PC?). Majel also attended Star Trek conventions yearly and was a producer of Andromeda. Fortunately, Majel just finished her voice over work for the computers in J.J. Abrams' latest Trek movie. I have to admit, this made me sad, just having caught up on the entire TNG and DS9 series on DVD."
Please designate me as your foe so I won't notice any of your feebleminded and hopeless crap in the future. I should at least point out some of your internal contradictions where you are by definition lying on on at least one side--but you aren't worth it.
Why? I've decided I've suffered far too many fools, if not gladly, then at least without saying much about it.
Freedom = (Meaningful - Coerced) Choice != (Speech | Beer^2), and sad sock puppets' bad mods avail them naught.
Seconded.
Men: go to the drugstore and pick up some Veet(do NOT use Nair!). After you have the Veet, go home and bring something pithy to read(Dilbert works well) with you into your bathroom. Then, manually trim your pubic hair down to approximately 1/4-1/2 inch long using scissors or clippers. Anything less than 1/4 inch is gay, anything longer is sloppy unless you've perfected shaping.
Apply the Veet as directed on the tube, but deviate from the instructions(we technical folk like to call it an "engineering change order") in the following ways:
1) Don't listen to the instructions as far as having it on your pubic area. It will work safely, painlessly, and effectively all the way up to the "comdom zone" on the base of your penis. It is safe for removing scrotal hair, but do not get it on your dickhead. I like to apply it with one hand while keeping the other clean so that it can quickly remove the excess should it get somewhere I don't want it to be.
2) Apply the Veet to all bodily hair below your beltline and above your mid-thigh(important: on, but not in, your butthole if you have a hairy one) with VERY important exceptions outlined in rule 3.
3) In order to avoid being confused with a fag, you must leave some pubic hair between your beltline and mid-thigh. The most common configuration is an inverted triangle beginning at the uppermost base of the penis. I prefer to use an isosceles triangle with the two like vertices terminating prematurely at the sides of my dickbase. The key here is to make it look natural, yet trimmed. Let it fade into the width of your treasure path. Silly mohawks or "lucky charm" shapes are best saved for women on April 1st.
4) Stand with your legs slightly spread while you read the Dilbert book for 5 minutes. Yes, I said 5. What are you, a pansy?
5) Get in a warm-to-hot shower. Do not use the included hair scraper, instead use your own fingernails(softly, though, and preferably trimmed) and cover all areas which have Veet applied. Clumps of half-digested hair will fall to the shower bed, pay no mind and kick them toward the drain.
6) Step out smooooth, repeat the process in 1-2 weeks depending. Men who remove their bodily hair in places above the beltline or below mid-thigh are fags. Yes, fags.
7) The process is painless except for very minor irritation along the crease where thigh meets taint. Speaking of pain, do NOT do this after working out or when your pores are opened. Nair may be used instead, but unlike Veet, Nair is as unfriendly on the scrotum as 40-grit sandpaper is.
wasn't the same star trek formula rehashed a million fucking times, like DS9 and Voyager
Voyager yes, but DS9 is usually lambasted for not being a proper Star Trek at all.
As for Enterprise, as with Voyager, a good concept with a bad case of TNGcloneitis.
