Those of you who have read me for any&#160 length of time – well, you probably knew it was coming all along, didn’t you? – but you know damned well what this is.

For now, click the link.&#160 Go ahead.&#160 Click it.&#160 I effin’ dare&#160 you.

And turn it up.&#160 Waaaaaay&#160 up.&#160 &#160 )

That’s right, sportz fanz:&#160 It’s vacation time for His Rudeness&#153.&#160 A chance to Get Away From It All&#153 for the next 10 days or so.

Thanks to Bambi & his shitty economy, though, Mrs. Venomous & I are staying in town and not doing a helluva lot, due to the money just not being there.

MRS. VENOMOUS:&#160 Ohhhhhh, don’t worry, sweetie.&#160 We’ll find plenty&#160 of things to do. (wink)

VENOMOUS:&#160

Vicar, General – you guys have the conn.&#160 General…when you’re done chlorinating the gene pool of Occutards down there in the Southern Command&#153, could I borrow another squadron of those black helicopters…?&#160

KORRIOTH:&#160 M’liege, a moment, if I may…?

VENOMOUS:&#160 Certainly, Captain.&#160 What’s on your mind?

KORRIOTH:&#160 You maintain that the current countdown has eight days remaining, is that not so?

VENOMOUS:&#160 That’s right, Kor.&#160 So?

KORRIOTH:&#160 Far be it from me to question your reasoning, Admiral, but…

[His Rudeness&#153 slowly raises one eyebrow]

VENOMOUS:&#160 This better be good, Bumpy.

KORRIOTH:&#160 …but Mr McCool & I, in going back over the archives, noticed that whereas Zero Hour&#153 this year occurs on a Monday, previous&#160 countdowns this time of year always occurred on a Saturday.&#160 We were simply curious as to what changed.

{Two and two come together in His Rudeness’&#153 mind as glowing purple eyes widen to near the size of quarters.&#160 He snatches Korrioth’s padd from his hand.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Gimme that…&#160 (scans the padd)&#160 Well, whaddya know?&#160 You’re absolutely, bang-on, right-on-the-nose right, Kor.

[The Klingon-Vulcan hybrid stands just a little straighter at the sound of his commander’s approval, then his own eyes turn into quarters at Venomous’ next words.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Nice work…General.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Uh…sir…?

VENOMOUS:&#160 A long-overdue promotion, Kor.&#160 This just confirms what I should’ve done a long time ago.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Th-thank you, m’lord.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Report to the quartermaster immediately and get re-outfitted, General.&#160 I’ll see that they expect you.

KORRIOTH:&#160 At once, Admiral.&#160 [He turns to go.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 …General Korrioth…?

[Korrioth stops short and turns.]

VENOMOUS (nodding):&#160 Nice work.

KORRIOTH (straightening):&#160 Thank you, sir.&#160 [He turns and leaves.]

VENOMOUS (muttering to himself):&#160 …Venomous, you senile old bastard…

Okay, then.&#160 Eight, seven, six.

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
