I just got this image of Roddenberry trying to cheat on his wife with Nurse Chapel, and then saying, "Oh... wait a minute... I knew all along, honey!"

Well, I'm finaly back, so there should be no more mis-spellings like that one. :)

It must be nice to get back someplace where people don't all speak in funny accents, eh, Rochey? :wink:

Telling Cochrane the truth seemed like a bright idea to Riker - "Gee, he's so drunk, he'll probably forget about it when he has a drink or two!"
Unfortunately, Cochrane had some copies of the old Star Trek DVDs and made that ridiculous reference.
"So you're all astronauts... on some sort of star trek?"
Riker says: :wtf:

It got a wince from me. It was a rather poorly done pun, I have to say.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

I, on the first page wrote:I thought it was hilarious, personally.
I stand by that statement. :)

What was the other close reference made to Star Trek...something like 'trek across the stars'.....and who said it?
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to
know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”
