- He was, what, 15 at the time? -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:19
- I think he meant his character did. and yeah they both deny doing the show -- nm - Remlik Mar 19, 09:02 9
  - how can you deny it? i mean, it's not like people can't just google it up. -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 09:08 7
    - I think he a word. -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 09:10
    - Teri Hatcher's role wasn't credited. (I think they got confused between who denied it - Judd or Hatcher) -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 09:09 5
      - Ah, wiki says that Teri Hatcher asked for her credit to be removed because most of her role was cut. Maybe that's what they are thinking about -- (link) - Roger More Mar 19, 09:12
      - pretty sure Judd denied it -- nm - zork Mar 19, 09:11 2

My weird STTNG observation: Was it just me or did the crew always look very odd when they were out of uniform? - Spawn Mar 19, 08:51 7
- Costume design wasn't never their strong point. Took them a couple of years just to get the uniforms right. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 19, 08:56 5
  - Stewart always talks about how bad the uniforms were the 1st couple of years, in fact they were so bad they were damaging his spine... - Remlik Mar 19, 08:59 4
    - No wonder he got that captain's suede uniform -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 09:10 3
      - and a trademark for the Picard Tug® -- nm - zork Mar 19, 09:14 2
        
        You mean Riker. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:24
        
        Real captains wear velour. -- nm - Zapp Brannigan Mar 19, 09:23
- Yeah, but I think that about most people from the 70s and 80s too. -- nm - Ender Mar 19, 08:54
Wow. State of Texas doesn't have a single team in the NCAA tourney. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 19, 08:42 8
- Yep, first time in 36 years. 1977 was the last time this happened. -- nm - GregW Mar 19, 09:14 1
  - And that was only a field of 32. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:16
- Yet they play 2nd and 3rd round in Austin. And Sweet 16 in Arlington. *crickets* -- nm - Jammed Uzi Mar 19, 09:01 2

    - It is all part of Indiana's return to basketball! -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 08:49
A friend and I were discussing this: What do you think that over time, a man's affections level off while a woman's tends to grow? - Hotkiss Mar 19, 08:39 48
- i doubt you can make a real rule over that it's individual to each couple -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Mar 19, 14:00
- This sounds like an observation made by 1) a young man (under the age of 40) who 2) is trying to justify being too immature to commit. Are you friends - landbeck Mar 19, 09:28 1
  - *snork* -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:29
- I'm sure this is common, but just as common with the genders reversed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 19, 09:27
- I try my best to put in as little effort as possible and still skate by. It's not easy. Damn bitches be calling me on shit -- nm - CQ Mar 19, 09:13 1

- some women are just greedy and spoiled and can never be satisfied with what they have. -- nm - Max Mar 19, 08:45
- disagree completely. -- nm - Tim Mar 19, 08:45
- *piles on* rubbish. -- nm - zork Mar 19, 08:45
- yeah, that is so not correct. -- nm - decline Mar 19, 08:43 29
  - Wow ST really hates this. - Hotkiss Mar 19, 08:47 28
    - making generalizations about relationships simply doesn't work. - znufrii Mar 19, 08:59 2
      - that's a pretty big generalization you're making there -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 09:20 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Does it happen in some cases, yes. Is that a function of being a man in general. No. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 08:56 1
      - I think age might play a bigger factor than gender -- nm - zork Mar 19, 09:08
    - They don't hate it. They strenuously object to it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:54 1
      - Oh, you strenuously object. Then I'll take some time to reconsider -- nm - Jim Mar 19, 09:08
    - Or maybe they just weren't that into each other after all. -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 19, 08:47
    - well, people are individuals, not all men or all women act the same, but as a 'general observation' i'd say 'no.' -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 08:47 19
      - that's why I didn't answer this. There is no uniform answer. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 19, 08:57
      - If I had to say one way or the other, I would almost say the opposite. - Spawn Mar 19, 08:55 17
        
        [deleted] 16
        
        Just because *you* don't have to worry about it doesn't mean that we can't!!! - Spawn Mar 19, 09:06 15
        
        [deleted] 14
        
        Indiana. - Spawn Mar 19, 09:12 11
        
        actually, that would be inaccurate since the state has a surplus. one of the few. - fedup Mar 19, 10:30
        
        *falls asleep driving to the plant, never notices until stalks of corn start hitting the windshield* -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 09:15 9
        
        We do repair them like crazy in the spring. Otherwise they would have woke you up. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:16 8
        
        I wish Pennsylvania had the money to do that. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 09:18 7
        
        Sorry, but there is something wrong with a state that can not afford to fix their roads. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:19 6
        
        Well, PA's got all the key things - Will Hunting Mar 19, 09:21 5
        
        Uhm, pretty sure PA has a third less roads than Indiana. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:26 4
        
        Damn lying professors. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 09:28 2
        
        wiki could be wrong but it hit my guess pretty closely. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:30 1
        
        PA is a quarter bigger than IND, though. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:32
        
        Looks like Indiana has 66,000 miles of state roads while PA has 40,500. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 09:27
        
        NEWYORKCALIFORNIATEXAS! -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 09:10
        
        Pennslyvania. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 09:09
- Sounds like excuse making to me. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 19, 08:43
- Hell no. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 08:43
- Then he's just not that into her. -- nm - Jim Mar 19, 08:42
- i don't buy that at all. -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 08:41 1
  - (it's just not my experience in life. a lot of my friends got divorced and it wasn't the man instigating it.) -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 08:42
- there's a tumblr for this. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:41 [Image]
The best STTNG episode is of course the one where Data bangs Tasha repeatedly. -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 08:26 18
- I never liked the Lt Barclay episodes. He was lame -- nm - Strongbad Mar 19, 08:33 7
  - I also never liked the eps with Moriarty. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 19, 08:38 1
    - Ship In A Bottle (top 10 TNG ep) - Jovian Mar 19, 08:50
  - "Tie both consoles into the Enterprise main computer core utilizing neural scan interface." - znufrii Mar 19, 08:37
  - His first one, the Holodeck obsession, is in my top 5 - amoxy Mar 19, 08:35
  - Oh hell, no. Barclay was actually the center of the STNG universe. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 08:34 2
    - yep. Barclay was the sh*t. -- nm - Jovian Mar 19, 08:49
    - yup, always like his Voyager eps when they are on -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 08:35
- heh. and I was always of the opinion that Data continued to bang Tasha right up till she got eaten by that Tar Beast -- nm - Jovian Mar 19, 08:33 1
  - Skin of Evil -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 08:34
- 2nd-15th best: the one where Riker uses his rank to nail young cadets -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 08:30 5
  - I hated that "I'm gonna get me some" dopey smile of his -- nm - zork Mar 19, 08:31 3
    - Wouldnt you have a dopey smile too if you were 2nd in command of the baddest starship in Starfleet? -- nm - Jovian Mar 19, 08:51 2
      - I always figured he turned down his own commands as he knew he would have to tone down the jamming of the crew. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 08:52 1
        
        yep exactly. dude had it made in the shade. -- nm - Jovian Mar 19, 08:55
  - 16th - 27th best: the ones where Troi's boobs are lopsided -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 08:30
- "In every way of course. I am programmed in multiple techiques. A broad variety of pleasuring." -- nm - Data Mar 19, 08:28

- that's right. (On the Waterfront had 12.) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 19, 08:26
zork: Are you serious? That's the direction *our* language is evolving. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:23 17
- A friend of mine was just remarking on facebook the other day, of the overwhelming urge to explain things using tvtropes examples. - znufrii Mar 19, 08:32 2
  - This is what I'm saying. Every clique develops an internal dialogue (cheerleaders, SITMOP, etc) - it was just being expressed species-wide -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:37 1
    - 312.50! -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 08:37
- although it's been pointed out to me that it's an extremely impractical language for a technologially minded species - Reagen Mar 19, 08:26 7
  - I would imagine if it's happened to any one of them before, there's a story about it to remind them. -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 08:34 6
    - "impractical" in the sense that communicating numbers, in that instance, is faster and more efficient than referring to a metaphor -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:39 5
      - except they never would be able to create tools that exceed their ability to describe through metaphor in the first place. - znufrii Mar 19, 08:42 4
        
        who made the first one, and the first thing it was used for -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:42 3
        
        (And frankly, that would certainly clear up 5-16th and 3-8th confusion! :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:43 2
        
        so were monkey wrenches first used on or by monkeys? -- nm - zork Mar 19, 08:44 1
        
        that would be their first conclusion upon hearing the term, no doubt. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 08:44
- people use that stuff in non-critical communications (arts, entertainment, etc.) but not in survival or first contact situations. - zork Mar 19, 08:26 3
  - Ironically, Shakespeare invented the word "critical"... -- nm - Ender Mar 19, 08:53 1
    - he also invented the word nonsense - zork Mar 19, 09:09
  - You're kind of overthinking what they were going for though - Reagen Mar 19, 08:28
- "Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra" is simply that culture's "PC LOAD LETTER? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?!" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:24 1
  - Right? You say that to the right person and you'll instantly get a smile and a particular response. It's funny how that stuck. - Mel Profit Mar 19, 09:27
Hilarious. The diet coke and the camper are good ones ... -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 19, 08:23 1
- the camper is pretty incredible. i love all the phantom camera videos. -- nm - colin Mar 19, 08:37
I coulda been a contendah -- nm - B2 Mar 19, 08:21
ST videogame Poll 2: Is there a better baseball game than the original RBI Baseball? -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 08:21 13
- Dun dun da-dun. Dun dun da-dun. -- nm - David Mar 19, 08:51
- I love the games that they put out now, but I get bored with them pretty quickly. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 08:43
- I think the worst might have been the original Atari with the base running glitch - JD Mar 19, 08:41
- Probably not. I got a bunch of Reddit karma the other day for a comment about how awesome RBI baseball was. I'm so old. -- nm - Krusty Mar 19, 08:33
- my fave was Baseball Stars -- nm - Strongbad Mar 19, 08:31
- Old Time Baseball for the PC was by far my favorite. - spamlet (iPhone) Mar 19, 08:26 1
  - Hardball. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 08:36
- I loved the bug that enabled you to throw a no-hitter every game unless you gave up a homer. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 08:23
- I always like Intellivision Baseball where you could inexplicably get a HR with a ground ball. -- nm - Reagen Mar 19, 08:23 2
  - I loved Intellevision baseball. I could handle any hit ball with my pitcher. nm - Jim Mar 19, 08:40
  - Wrigley Field? -- nm - zork Mar 19, 08:32
- No. Bert Blyleven's sinker (St Louis) was murder and the Yankees lineup was in-sane -- nm - Beaker Mar 19, 08:22
- yes -- nm - Don Homer Mar 19, 08:21
