It's from the Simpsons episode where Homer went up in the shuttle.
Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, er, we've just lost the picture, but,
uh, what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft
has been taken over -- "conquered", if you will -- by a master
race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this
vantage point whether they will consume the captive earth men
or merely enslave them. One thing is for certain, there is no
stopping them; the ants will soon be here.
And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to
remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful
in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar
caves.
The PC I'm posting from is a Micro ATX 2.2GHZ Celeron in a VCR-like case. Above it is a EPIA-M Nemiah in a K-Mart toolbox.
The mini-itx MB is about 40% smaller, and the Micro ATX is pretty small. I just wish I could find a better heatsink for the Celeron. This skinny case is too small for one of those massive copper ones and the fucking fan sounds like a vaccum cleaner.
Captain James T. Kirk would be forced to take his stolen klingon bird of prey back in time by slingshotting around the sun, A manuver that has never been done before!
That whole story was blown *WAY* out of proportion. Basically, me and Scotty went back looking for Scotch and babes.
I got lucky, he came back with an antique computer...
Trek has always been big on the "reset button" and other such plot devices.
I don't agree with you on the "one time stream" theory. In the TNG episode "Parallels" there were infinite streams. In "All Good Things" there were alternate futures and pasts (Q inspired, but there).
On the other hand, with the future altered, there would be no Voyager;-)
"Enterprise" takes place in a different time stream, caused by the Borg attack on Earth during "First Contact".
The events mentioned in the other movies and series' don't apply, it's a whole new ballgame.
There have been many hints. Picard once mentioned a "disasterous" first meeting with Klingons. On the "Enterprise" pilot, we helped the Klingons.
Earth was not due to meet up with the Romulans for a while, then the meeting led immediately to war. On "Enterprise", the first meeting was peacefull (for Romulans). The Romulans also had cloaking technology about 100 years too early.
Finally, the attack on Earth by the Xindi was never mentioned on the other series.

If you think that's true, you should read this.
Being true does not keep it from being funny.
I call it the 80% rule. 80% of people are morons.
Keep that in mind and a lot of the shit that goes on in the world makes sense.
If there were any real journalists left
It wouldn't matter if there were. For the most part, big media is one way or another connected with RIAA members.
No, the point is, "The RIAA is the Bad Guy, We are the Good Guys".
The Forces of Light will get the good press on CNN, etc.
The ebook is just a cute idea until electronic paper becomes cheaply available.
Add a WiFi link and you can surf pr0n too!
A computer without Microsoft is like ice cream without ketchup.
mmm, ketchup sundae...
How about we use an Orion, but leave off the shields to "save weight". One shot oughta do it...
The only rationalization for the design is if you're going to bring stuff back from space
Nixon signed off on the shuttle because he was told we could use it to steal Soviet satellites. He thought it was a cool idea.
Like the Russians wouldn't rig the satellite to blow up. Guess he watched "You Only Live Twice" too many times...
If you like Ringo, check out Stirling and Flint. They're fun too.
I'll take all three, covered in whipped cream.
Can I get that to go?
Then there is FLCL, which is just plain incredibly fucking weird.
For some stange reason, it's also incredibly watchable, in an Adult Swim kind of way.

And one ugly chick.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
There are at *LEAST* half a dozen ugly chicks that hang out here.

Does freeze dried spam count as cargo?
So, in order to buy amnesty from the RIAA, I have to sell them my identity? Sounds fair...
I got an email from them. Except they wanted my credit card and bank account numbers. And they were in Nigeria.

Good one. We're in the middle of a release so I didn't have time to come up with a good acronym.

Ray gets $1,000,000 per episode. That aint cheap.
I `et a cat once.
Damn thing was tough, but tastes just like dog.
What's this "SPORTS" you are all talking about?
Who keeps giving the monkeys the mod points?
Ooo, ooo, ooo-ooo, dammit.
Don't make me throw this poop at you!
