Why I Support President Bush and the ZOT!

[thousand dollar hamburger]

I think he has a sincere desire to help everyone. he has even gone out of his way to embrace people like Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. He does not hold grudges as shown by his willingness to bend over backwards to allow terrorist supporting nations to operate our ports. We need this type of benevolent leader.

Our President is not a cheapskate, as he has opened up our budget to give to anyone who might need anything.

Aliens from all nations are welcomed into our great country without having to deal with mundane bureaucratic State approval. Cutting government red tape -- that's the Bush way!

Yes, our Prseident even realizes that occupying as many countries around the world as possible is the best way to spread American ideals.

We are truly lucky to have this great man. I suggest that at 10:00 AM EST, we all stand up in unison and shout -- HOORAY FOR BUSH!!!

I dunno...but the plastic may act as a "bumper"...in case someone decides to literally tip her...;o]



*ahem*

It's Vulcan physiology!! ;)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Her legs???

[Monkey Face]

*ahem*

"You're outta your Vulcan mind, Irish!"

(Loosely quoted.)

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I have never gone Vulcan tipping.

Is it like cow tipping?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

For Vulcan's sake!!

According to that photo, it's quite similar...

Nah, physics says that without a counter weight she should have a forward tilt.

So, either she has a lead butt or they are using wires to keep her upright.

[Monkey Face]

I'd vote for the lead butt...I don't see any wires.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Well... she has a good curvy butt, so it would counter-balance her boobs....

[Monkey Face]

In your dreams...;o]

What's even more strange - Chekov is neither Irish or Canadian!!

Isn't he Russian?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I think so... not a Star Trek character I know much about... his roles were small.

[Monkey Face]

He was in the series/films, but I think he was American.

Bleeding hearts always remind me of our yard in Alaska.

They are so pretty, but I dislike saying "look at the bleeding heart" in a good way.

;-)

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Well I am stating a fact!

We had a fence full of them when I was a short person...the fence is gone now, though. So is the porch I fell off of. But the house is still there! And on a paved road!

Chekov?
His roles were small?
Us Chelov's are very useful you know!

"There was persecution on Earth once. I remember reading about it in my history class." - Pavel Chekov in 'Let that be Your Last Battlefield'.

It was the original series episode 'Catspaw', originally broadcast on 27th October 1967 and intended as Star Trek's attempt at a Halloween special, that introduced the character of Pavel Chekov.

Executive Producer Gene Roddenberry had been pleased by the performance of the ensemble cast in Star Trek's first season, but wanted to introduce a character with something called 'youth appeal'. However, Chekov was not simply intended as a (somewhat unlikely) sop to a teenage audience. Roddenberry wanted Chekov to symbolize the momentous political progress that had been made by the 23rd century. Thus, at the peak of the Cold War, a Russian completed the multi-racial crew of the original Enterprise on American TV screens. Even the name was adventurous in its honouring of the celebrated Russian playwright Anton Pavlovitch Chekhov.

As navigator, Chekov befriended helm officer Hikaru Sulu and was viewed by Kirk as something of a protégé. Indeed, by the programme's third and last season Chekov was beginning to show some of Captain Kirk's traits: he was hot-headed, deeply principled and a hit with the soft-focus ladies. Despite the height shortage and the 'bowl cut' hair, Chekov managed to rekindle his relationship with former flame and Starfleet graduate-turned-misguided-space hippy Irina Galliulin in 'The Way to Eden', a low point in both the history of Star Trek and the young ensign's career.

Chekov had risen to the rank of commander by the time of the Star Trek films and was First Officer of the star ship Reliant in 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan'. In this film the character was the subject of one of the most hotly debated continuity breaches in Trek history. At the start of the film, Khan says he remembers Chekov from the original series episode Space Seed, which was broadcast before the character of Chekov was even created. An unforgivable gaffe in the eyes of Star Trek's fans.

Walter Koenig played Chekov in the first seven Star Trek movies, and has appeared in many other TV roles, including Bester in the sci-fi series Babylon 5.

Key Chekov episodes: Catspaw, The Deadly Years, The Way to Eden, Day of the Dove, Spectre of the Gun.
