This is great Dan! Thanks for passing it along.
Dan,
That was pretty darn good. Not exactly the repartee of Hepburn and Tracy, but I suppose it’s the cuurent generational permutation…
Looks kinda like some of the threads that develop around here!
You say potato, I say spud gun. Let’s call the whole thing off.
Hilarious.
That’s a riot Pablo,
I should get one to keep the neighbors teenage kids, in line…
Since here in NYC they would take a dim view of rock-salt shotgun loads…
I’m having ginger tea. All day. It’s penance, I Ate a whole bag of pretzel chips last night. And a pack of crystallized ginger.
And some frosting after the santa cake incident. And a half-dozen fresh baked gingermen.
On the other hand, I used a star-trek episode to win an argument about court reporters today. Then lost it the same way, as ironically it proved the value of live stenographers.
Completely off topic, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
Stupid subprime lending!
I’m all for space-travel and warpfactor five and locking phasers on target.
Mm. Tea is delicious.
Paper of record, what is to become of you.
that was awesome… I’m still laughing.
Oooo… SarahW, what was argument? Original ST or the fairly lame NG episodes?
(I always thought Heinlein’s Fair Witness professionals were great update on court stenographers)
BTW, my tea at the moment is Republic of Teas’ Blackberry Sage.
I’m still on Twining’s English Breakfast.
Also OT: most awesomest Christmas song EVAR!!1!!
I think I might go with Long Island Iced.
Spies, yay to the Christmas song!
Darleen, The Original Series, but of course! In fact, the episode in question was the court martial of Kirk, which included pilot clips.
I was trying to convince my husband that court stenographers were obsolete.
As she sipped her tea, her brother, Gregor, awoke in the next room, combed out his antennae, gingerly shook his gimpy right metathoracic leg, then slowly crawled up the wall, making an alien clattering sound as he went…
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a tea-drinking asthmatic slut must be in want of a lithium fusion missile.
SarahW,
I think IIRC it was the court martial of Spock but I maybe wrong. And now that I’ve revealed that geekiness I’ll say back in the 90’s I bought the ST pilot on laserdisc.
The “Chamomile Tea” story is very funny and that is my favorite tea. It doesn’t remind me of anyone when I drink it though.
“(I always thought Heinlein’s Fair Witness professionals were great update on court stenographers)”
So, um, Darleen, you doing anything New Year’s Eve?
Seeing as how my wife is going to, er, ummmm, just recently passed away and all?
I also denounce myself.
30th anneversary next year and all…..
Soon it will be the “Age of Obama”.
Then the moon will be in the Seventh House.
And Jupiter will align with Mars.
And peace will guide the planets.
And love will steer the stars.
Chamomile tea tastes like boiled weeds.
Probably because that is what it is.
Spies – not bad on the Christmas song, but check out this beaut:

Teh awesome.
Actually, there was also a Kirk court martial episode, where he’s accused of jettisoning a crewman prematurely.
And here’s a link to watch the original series online.
Meh.. Here’s the best Christmas song of the year.
