Actually, Mac users have learned that it's ok to click on just about anything. Worst thing to happen is that you have non-event or get a page full of giberish. Once something nasty is on the loose, it'll go through Mac users like Sarah Zero's Barracuda through sidewalk bistros.
Heh, I remember the early '90s when I said (after discovering Giffy Girls), this 230MB hard drive is not enough. Need LaCie Joule hot swap drive tower.
Actually, after working 7 years college tech support, 2 years retail tech support and 2 years MIC corporate tech support, I've come to the conclusion that the general populace have totally given up on standard telephone courtesy. Now, I'm currently supporting very well educated industrial researchers and a small percentage of them still have horrible phone manners. Sigh.
Was Halloween party at cousin's vineyard. I'm in the SCA so did the armor/cloak thing. Think my girlfriend did Morticia (something black and tight anyways). While the kids were getting hay rides around the vineyard, we snuck off between the rows. This was back in the early '90's. Just wish cheap digital cameras were available back then. That girl was a major freak for sex. Never met one like that since.
Wasn't Quantum Psychology one of the technologies you could develop in SMAC-X?

Do you think Apple's following this with iPods? I've only bought one (4th G) last year, but haven't really followed the feature march, other than noting the video player bit last fall.
Maybe a post-apocolyptic Star Trek universe, where all of humanity is confined to a system with 15 habital planets but they have to use chemical rockets to get around? And wear cowboy hats?
Maybe they could have the cadets on a ship captained by Leslie Nielson, that lands on a planet with a gigantic alien complex with just a loan inventor and his beautiful daughter living there. There could also be an invisible monster and a robot that makes bourbon. That would be cool!
What if Spock was an instructor at the academy? He could wear weird black robes and make snide remarks about how Potter/Kirk isn't living up to his fame.
Oh hell, I've cussed out a second looey, and I was only a senior airman (E-3). I was up in a tanker (KC-135a), doing a refuel when numb-nuts comes clambering up the ladder, slamming the floor grate open, with fuel fumes all around. Damn fool could have caused a spark, blowing up the entire plane. Before I'd even turned around to see who it was, I was cursing a blue streak, telling 'em to get the fsck of my plane!
I turn around and there's this wide eye'd guy, about my age (21) stammering something about forgetting his hat. I think he must have dropped straight down the ladder, he tried to leave so fast. Found out later, the captain dressed him down as well. No one ever said anything to me about it either.
They had the chance (and I thought they'd taken it when I saw DS 9's ship there) to have a real drama between Cisco and Picard. Cisco hates Picard, doesn't trust him because of the Borg crap but now they're thrown together back in time and have to team up to fight the borg. Real human drama, ala the Illiad (Akhilleus hating Agammemnon and all that). That would have been cool.

I just want to see the two guys with bras on their heads create the cylon chick-bots.
Security is Freedom?
Wine orchards offer great privacy. Especially if they're contoured around a hill side. Also helps if you have a large cloak to lay down on.
So...is this like cable? If I don't like it, I can cancel it and send it back?

and now I will say good day to you sir
Time to invent a time machine.

Prof. Spock: Why is that toy on your head?
Cadet Kirk: Because if I wear it any place else, it chafes.
Was Indiana Jones?

What if Sean Connery played Kirk's father?
Kirk-a young Christian Slater?

Thought his name was Whelp?
The Star Trek equivalent of Animal House. Crazy co-eds, the antics of Star Fleet Academy's most crazy frat house.
Finnegan: How does it feel to be an independent, Kirk?
Kirk: How does it feel to be an asshole, Finnegan?
McCoy: Pavel, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You fucked up - you trusted us!
What about the Young Frankenstein-ish Putting on the Ritz "Noooooooo!"? There's a bit for the Smithsonian.

I saw this in Ishtar, when the blind camel stepped on the guy's foot. Ouch!
