- What piece of art would you steal?: I'm from the Midwest; we don't steal.
Sandiai That's a rather personal question. OK, I'm typing into some sort of blog, of which I am only vaguely familiar.

@25,
Word. Plus, "HEY, you think you know me, Bub?"
Never been sure why "prude" is such a drastic insult anyway. As character flaws go, prudishness is a pretty mild one. It also doesn't hurt anyone. In fact, the only person in the world my apparent "prudishness" affects is the asshole I just said "no" to.
"I've discovered that "prude" is the favorite first insult of assholes when I don't want to have sex with them."

My outrage is not so much, how-you-say, "real."
They certainly do have "some" control over gravity in the Star Trek 'verse. They line the floors of spaceships with "gravitons" which we now know are Higgs bosons. And, they can warp hyperspace/subspace so dramatically just outside the warp bubble that the ship falls into the manufactured gravity well faster than the speed of light.
It's fun discussing speculative science with you nerds. Thank you, you guys for giving me my nerd fix. I had forgotten that about the stocky Intrepid class.

Half of Oprah's Book Club suggestions are classics and half are miserable crapfests that aren't selling for a good reason ("Bridges of Madison County"? Thanks, Oprah!).
The Good Earth: we read that in Freshman English. Would love to see a new book by Buck.

@100, *raising hand*. I've also been on both sides of that equation, and I can say very comfortably that I was neither exploitative nor exploited. 'Course, in both cases, we were hetero. I can tell you when I was the older party, cops who tapped on the car window at the lake always only were worried that the activity was consensual FOR ME, not him.

And, not for nothing, but why the hell wouldn't the Enterprise be able to enter a planet's atmo?! We can do it with spacecraft NOW, for fuck's sake, and we don't have deflector shields.
That's like saying interference in the planet's atmosphere is causing the transporters to malfunction, even though they worked ten minutes ago when our guys beamed down (joke comparison, because you know why).

I can't get over how effective a pedophile he played in Atonement.
He's a very good actor, and has great hair and symmetrical features, but Spock (former and current) gets my nerd heart fluttering more effectively.
