Yes, Denizens - I know it's Cafe Press. Yes, I know that they're a liberal-owned company. Yes, I'm aware that the quality of their garments may not be quite as good as ThoseShirts.com.
But unlike ThoseShirts.com, Cafe Press ACTUALLY ANSWERS THE EMAIL I SEND THEM!!!!
Got clue, ThoseShirts???

Hmmm, what am I getting this year, Dad?

[SCENE: Deep space. We see the newly-minted ISS Pegasus floating out amongst the stars. The senior staff having transferred over, Poseidon and Apparition have warped back towards Realm™ territory.
Cut to Pegasus' bridge, where the staff is gathered around Admiral Darth Venomous in the command chair.]
VENOMOUS: So once they found out who I was, they actually offered to rebuild Pegasus for us…
KORRIOTH: “Us”, m’liege?
VENOMOUS: Well…they actually knew me from my association with you. You & Kha have quite the fan club over there, y’know.
K’HADIBAK’H: Indeed. One wonders why we’re not the stars of this show, rather than you.
VENOMOUS: Because it’s my blog, bumpy.
K’HADIBAK’H: (grunt)
VENOMOUS: And with that, let’s get underway, shall we? Stations, please, and set course for the Badlands.
[All take their seats, and K'hadibak'h programs his course. He turns toward the admiral after a few moments.]
K’HADIBAK’H: Course laid in, Admiral.
VENOMOUS: Very well, Mr. K’hadibak’h. Warp four whenever you’re ready.
[Kha touches a couple of controls, then pushes the drive lever forward to engage the engines. The ship's great engine rev up...
...then rev back down & quit as the lights go out on the bridge.]
VENOMOUS: Soon as I find that damned ribbon again, some engineer is gonna lose his head.

No sooner do I pronouce my machine as fit, then it dies on me.
Then again, near as I can tell, it appears to have been of my own doing this time. Looks like I changed an access permission I wasn’t supposed to.
Oh, well. That’s how I learned Windoze; it’s how I’ll learn Linux.
I have already learned one thing, though: Whereas it takes about three to six hours to rebuild a Windoze box, it takes all friggin’ weekend to rebuild a Linux distro. (And fully half of that was spent coaxing the video driver to give me something slightly better than 640×480.)
Sigh.

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.
Ummm, the folks down in the radar room just reported to me that they have detected a large quantity of tribbles located in your computer core.
Better start the inquisition.
Damn Enterprise…!!!!!
You also MIGHT want to check your transporter logs. I bet you’ll find that someone had big party where that Romulan stuff was flowing like a river and thought those “little balls of purring fur” would make a real funny practical joke.
But then again I might just be thinking out loud…..
