    Is that second bear in a pickle barrel or what? Is it because that bear is female? Is that some kind of bear pickle barrel chastity belt? Did Nick Denton send that bear into space? Is he jealous of that bear's legs, which is why he fired Sheila? Is it even legal to fire someone because her legs look better in black sheer stockings than yours ever will?


    These are the eternal questions that plague humankind.

    @Aaron Altman:

    Space: the final frontier for bears. These are the bear voyages of the bear starship Enterprise. Its continuing bear mission: to explore strange new bear worlds. To seek out new bear lifeforms and new bear civilizations. To boldly go where no one - where no bear - has gone before. Bear.

    Poor Yeoman Rand. She got written out because they didn't want it to look like Kirk was cheating on her. Damn you future patriarchy in space where we are all equal except for women who can't be captains! Remember "Turn about Intruder"? ST nerd has reported for duty.


    Now I am stumped as to which bear Mr. Spock would be. The Spectacled bear because he looks smart? Is that bearable to you?

    Lucky in Love on Dec 5, 2008


    Dear all:


    I would like to publicly announce that I am withdrawing from this site on a permanent basis because I am deeply unsettled by the vulgar attacks on my character by Booklatkeish and Helman. I made the awful mistake of lowering myself to Booklatkeish's level by fighting fire with fire earlier today and as a lady and a wife and a mother I don't want to put myself in that position again.


    I also don't want Booklatkeish and Helman to continue to pollute my mind with their vulgar language and virulent attacks on my fine character.


    Therefore I am withdrawing from this site on a permanent basis. I hope to meet you all again in cyberspace."
