Me neither. We're non-nerds evidently.
Famous Star Trek episode, at least to scifi geeks. Bit of a classic to the fans.
I hope you didn't get charged for that because I gave you the "wimp" diagnosis yesterday for free!
Might have a minor setback for the old man. Dat foot that drove me to the old runners home was aching last night around midnight. Iced it down and it does not hurt much this morning. Crossing my fingers that if I keep miles low and run in the more CG cushioned shoes that I can make this work.
Nope, just did a phone call

Fan of TOS, but don't remember every scene/line. Assuming you mean TOS.
It hurts less then the torn rotator cuff which is my new point of reference for pain stuff. I'll probably get that fixed once it gets bad enough i can't lift my coffee cup.
Pro-tip: Lift the wine glass a few times to loosen it up before you lift your coffee cup.It hurts less then the torn rotator cuff which is my new point of reference for pain stuff. I'll probably get that fixed once it gets bad enough i can't lift my coffee cup.
I watched it some but I never considered it must see TVNext Generation with Capt. Picard .
Yep. Close to Uptown. I believe that's the neighborhood Boxster used to afterhours with the waitress at the prominent lawyer's house.
The county fair sucks now. My sister and I have lifetime passes. They're basically a credit card, just with a bar code on it. This year they started scanning them as you enter. In past years, my sister and I wold walk in, go to a different gate, get stamped and exit, then give the passes to our parents so they could it in free. Now you have to get an entry and exit scan. Mom was telling me that a friend of her's who has a lifetime pass left for a bit, came back and almost didn't get back in. They said that her pass wasn't showing an exit scan. She had to show her ID to prove it was her pass.
They've also hired a 'fair manager'. This suit and tie guy is making $80,000 to basically do nothing and yet the fair is trying to make a profit for the first time in 6 years. He has no idea how a fair works.
There's a new rule now that you can't bring any food or drink, including water into the animal barns, not even the people with the animals. There's people at the entrances to the barns checking. What *********. Most exhibitors live in the barns for the week. They bring fridges and coolers. The fair spent money building a whole new barn just for the exhibitors to go eat. Again, fair is trying to make a profit.
Also they're charging to sit in the grandstand for all events. That includes the rodeo that was Wednesday, truck and tractor pulls yesterday and last night. Monster trucks are tonight, Scotty McCreery on Saturday, Skillet (who?) on Sunday and the usual demo derby Monday. They never charge for anything. They have a couple times in the past for track seating for some concerts, but the grandstand has always, always been free. Then to top this all off, the put up tarps to block people from viewing the events for free. People always gather on the sides of the grandstand to watch. They put a stop to that.
It's just boring now. They never have any big names anymore. Usually they have 4 concerts. Last year was 3 now it's down to 2. None of the implement dealers bring their stuff anymore because of vandalism. Long time vendors are gone. Food prices are too high.
It's just not what it used to be. The only reason I go now is to get a cinnamon roll.

Three people have legitimately wanted to know where I got my Hawaiian shirt at. I could possibly be a king here.
