Why are you asking questions and then answering them?

I collected $1.40 in overdue fees.

Why not?

That used to happen in Amazon Trail, too.

only by divine intervention.

So buy an abandoned oil rig, declare yourself a sovereign nation, and write like no one has ever written before. Then you can flout nationalist conventions of literature. (And really confuse critics.)

I don't do art, but I will say that Dostoyevsky=/= Solzhenitsyn=/= Bulgakov=/= Radzinsky. Four writers, with totally different styles and totally different messages. None of them write like Russians, they write like people who want to share their individual visions. Not Russians. Humans.

This is the kind of question we used to debate over a bong when I was in college. And my response is, why does it matter? You write as an individual, not as a racial/ethnic collective.

Well, there's always Naugahyde.And air conditioning.

Isn't this the one who won't answer you?

And the appropriate gift for this anniversary is leather. Congratulations.

in your decidedly beta dreams.

Teddy bears are not particularly alpha. Do you even look at the little things you post after your sentences?

Think of it as achieving a goal - you can now lurk on all of the boards.

Yeah, but somewhere in there, you're going to need a nap.

Um, you do know that fuggs is a woman who prefers dudes...

Alright. Chastisement discarded - for now. Move faster next time

DAMMIT GHOSTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if she was married, underage, a lesbian, or a total jerk in non-Trek related things, you probably made the right choice. If, however, she was pleasant and friendly, I will yell at you, too.

Well, that's one of us who survived. If the spiders get me, I'll let you know.

Wil. One L. Plus, he always has his mouth open in pictures.

I'd be more worried about spiders. Not that I'm scared of them, it's just that sometimes they startle me, especially in the shower. Then I'll slip and die.

Yeah, I read that back in my Trekkie days. He had a reputation as a genuinely nice individual. But then again, he was Canadian, so maybe he was just being polite.

The Star Trek death that hit me was James Doohan - I saw him when I was in college (he used to speak about Trek, and he usually brought a blooper reel), and when my kids were still in school, he used to show up every year at the local highland festival.
