The Short SHORT version

[Cogito]

I'm not telling you my guess because you'd be waiting forever for me to write something, but I think that's a good 'un Putaro.

[Alelou]

Arghhh, we'll never get it. Unless it's the one with the Klingons and the deuterium extractors? (Why can I remember old TOS titles of episodes I haven't seen in thirty years and not ENT ones)?

[putaro]

It's not that one but resource extraction is involved.

I thought it was going to be too easy. I guess we all key on different things in the episodes.

[Distracted]

"We can't contaminate them" sounds like a prime directive issue. Hmmmm.

[Alelou]

Shockwave???

[putaro]

Shockwave???

Nope. It is, however, Season 2 and features a lot of our favorite actress.

[Alelou]

Oh man, you're killing me. Must go survey the list at Wikipedia...

[Alelou]

Doh. Carbon Creek!

I can't believe you literally meant a Stooge!!!!

[putaro]

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

You're up!

[Alelou]

Coming up, hopefully after a successful attempt at some stir-fried pork and rice noodles in spicy peanut sauce...

[Alelou]

Okay, here we go. Alas, the spicy peanut sauce is not one I plan to repeat, at least not in that combo.


She was exotic --
Shimmering and sensual.
It's still not my fault!


(This should most take people here about one second.)

[Distracted]

Spicy peanut sauce sounds interesting. Maybe you just made it too spicy?

Oh... ummm... Unexpected, maybe?
