Does moving in with the GF unit equate to putting on the Red Shirt?

If you wash said red shirt with her whites you will suffer the same fate as the guy in the red shirt on an away team

yeah, ok....i'll admit....its just a coincidence that when Argo/Yamato is hit, there's just damage and fire.....when Gamalon ship is hit......it blows up. I'll also admit that having a powerful REFLEX gun that nearly kills Argo/Yamato....despite being claimed as being more poweful than the WMG.....is mysteriously and completely unguarded allowing commando party to not only blow it up, but also the entire Pluto Gamalon base as well....is...well......interesting.

Still....a great trip down memory lane.

whilst it did indeed make me laugh out loud - is this not the campest pic of our 4 heroes - particularly your man Kirk, who can only be described as mincing across that barren land

All roads lead to Kirk since he is the center of the universe (At least in his own mind)[;)]

When in the woods, identify the leaf before using it as toilet paper.

hope no one has to learn that the hard way[:D][X(]

Well, when I was at Ft. Sill, we were out in the boonies, it was dark, no little bundle of very useful tissue anywhere to be seen .......

The doctor thought it was funny, too .... every time he gave me another cortisone shot, since the damn stuff would just not go away.

Of course, NOW (40 years later) I see the humor.

BTW, I got it again 7 years later at Ft. Polk, but not the same way. One of my tanks had rolled over down into a ravine and I jumped down to help pull out the crew. Saw the stuff, but did it anyway. I had it that time for five or six months. Same routine, cortisone shots every day or two.

I find it continuously amazing how much totally off-the-subject conversation can be generated by "Sorry, Wrong Forum."   Far more interest than I've ever recieved from a real post about a serious subject.  And far more that the real one generated on the right forum...
