Congratulations to the happy couple!


Honestly, I'm so pissed off about the condition of our nation that I almost don't know how to feel positive about it. But then something like the California Supreme Court decision comes along, and I suddenly have a new reason to start feeling at least a little optimistic!

2. Is the honeymoon going to be on Ceti Alpha VI?

I just have to know.

[pokerfan]

7. Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

[krispos42]

26. khaaan!

[EstimatedProphet]

30. NO! CETI ALPHA V!

Ceti Alpha VI exploded six months after Khan was left there! Captain Kirk never went back to check on them!

From Hell's heart I stab at thee! Revenge is a dish that is best served cold!

[Kutjara]

8. I'm betting on Risa.

Anyway, Ceti Alpha VI exploded, so it wouldn't make a particularly appealing honeymoon destination.

[galledgoblin]

24. Risa would be too tacky (n/t)

[Orrex]

18. Ceti Alpha VI was a hellish planet, and massively unstable

You're thinking of Ceti Alpha V, of course.


:evilgrin:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Right. Except that after Ceti Alpha VI exploded, Ceti Alpha V got knocked off orbit...

....and it became all the more hellish.

I think it depends on whether they go during Ceti eel season or not. That could make or break a vacation.

Okay, I am really channeling my inner Star Trek nerd right now. But come on, Wrath of Khan was just great.

[Orrex]

20. But if only one of them gets the eel, it would cut down on disagreements

Still, you'd think that the folks on Reliant would have figured out that a planet was missing!


But you're right--a fine film!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

27. "You....I don't know you.....but you.....I never forget a face!"

[Orrex]

29. He must have one hell of a memory

IIRC, Chekov hadn't yet debuted by the time that the events in Space Seeds occurred...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

38. Chekov was just a member of the engineering night crew at that time.

However, what happened was that during Khan's stay on the Enterprise, Chekov was actually holding up the toilet on Khan. He opened the stall door, having left no toilet paper, to find an angry finger being pointed in his face and was told, "You! I'll NEVER forget you!!"

That was Walter Koenig's theory, at least. And a damn fine one, may I add.

[Orrex]

40. In that context, Khan's wrath makes a lot more sense

I thought that he was just pissed about the whole "Kirk killed my wife" thing.

[pokerfan]

21. Kirk never bothered to check up on their progress

Thnks only to Khan's genetically engineered intelligence they were able to survive.

Khan was the hero; Kirk the villain.

[Orrex]

23. "You moved the headstones, but you left the bodies! Didn't you? Didn't you!?"

Wait, wrong film.

[AlCzervik]

3. Sweet!

[NewJeffCT]

4. Congratulations to Mr. Sulu!

always seemed like a good guy when I heard him on the Howard Stern show.

[Blue-Jay]

5. Congrats, George!

:toast:

[terrya]

6. Congratulations to George Takei and Brad!

This is delightful news. :-)

[noel711]

9. It's so romantic...

I heard him interviewed on the radio,
and He's so damn funny....

I think it's at the Japanese Heritage center...
near San Fran...

[Orrex]

16. He's tremendously funny, and he has a hell of a life story to talk about

I know that he and Brad will be continue to be very happy, at least until they destroy America along with all the other gays and lesbians.

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Remember, there're still some 1.1 million haters in Kollyforniya

determined to re-impose their fucked-up values in November on people they don't even know.

[Blue-Jay]

11. They don't have the votes for a constitutional amendment.

So.....fuck 'em.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. They're claiming it's a revision, not an amendment

Of course, that alone could bollocks it up in the courts if it passes.

[Orrex]

15. Then I'm claiming that they're a bunch of assholes

And I suspect that I'm not alone in that sentiment!

[redqueen]

12. Awww that is such a sweet story...

feel positive. It's a ray of light in a sea of crap and more crap.

Scrape up the joy where you can!

[LucyParsons]

14. That makes me so happy I want to cry.

:applause:

[TZ]

17. I think its nice that so many of the cast of ST:TOS

remain good friends...

[hunter]

22. I'm hoping their are many exuberant weddings like this!

Let there be so much sunshine that the supporters of this vile anti-gay marriage initiative are forced back into the cold dark miserable holes they crawled out of.

[Parche]

25. Congratulations Sulu

[av8rdave]

28. Congrats to them!

That's a great story!

[NJmaverick]

31. Congrats! and might I add that I am sorry it took so long for you to be able to do so

[NJmaverick]

32. Congrats! and might I add that I am sorry it took so long for you to be able to do so

[succubus.blues]

33. Aw! Congrats to him!

:toast:

[Zavulon]

34. The biggest event in his life since the explosion at Praxis, I'm sure.

Although blowing up that Klingon ship so close to the Kittimer accords was pretty big, too.

Congratulations, George.

[Initech]

35. Congrats to Sulu!

Will there be any Klingons in attendance? :evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

36. How the hell is there a deleted sub-thread in here?

[TZ]

37. Somebody made a joke

that was meant well but was in a bit of poor taste and people took exception.

[demnan]

39. Its great that two people who have been together

so long can finally get married.
