Yeah, if your the new cadet on the away mission that no ones ever seen before.. your gonna die.

Captain - "Ensign Smith, go off by yourself with nothing but a tri-corder and check out that strange glowing gascious anomily over there..."

Ensign Smith - "AHHHHH.... arghhhh"

Captain - "Enterprise... get me another ensign down here."


I like how a guy who never carry's a gun can foil more evil plots than scooby doo... and build things like an ultra-light and parachute out of a tent... or fix bullet holes in his radiator with boiled eggs. McGuyver't the man.

stunningly attractive villainous women always want to sleep with you regardless of the fact that you are trying to thwart their plans or kill them.

Funny you should mention that, KT, but my son laughed at one show where a guy squealed his tires in dirt. The next morning I took him out and showed him how it's done. His eyes lit up and wanted me to do spinout several times.

But, it has to be dry, hard, fine dirt with not much rock.

Hey Big Orn:


I have done it on dirt roads too,just never had any luck on grass,

One more,No matter what 4banging rice burner they are driving it always sounds like a V8,or how about,they do a close-up in the car and you see the automatic shifter on the column,but yet you hear the guy banging gears?

Remember the new "Chainsaw Massacre"? That beat-up Plymouth? It ran on maybe 6 out of 8 cylinders, but when that girl ran Ol’ Ermey over, it was supercharged!

You know it's time to diet when Scotty has to divert warp power to the transporter to get you on board!
