WARP CORE OVERLOAD IMMINENT. EVACUATE NOW!

[Darksheare]

Nope.
I'm afraid we're stuck here until the new thread appears.
Kida like being in Limbo without Dante to help talk us through it.
Or worse, a DNC convention.
*shudders*
We can always cut loose and crack odd jokes and such.
Where's Milo?
I see you have Bill the Cat up there.

[Darksheare]

Veggie Tales!

Someone's got to run in there and flush the plasma gas, and then eject the warp core!

We love you guys.

Morning PhilDragoo.

You're always finding pictures I know I've seen and want to use for a thread and can't find on the net. Thanks for your work in tracking them down and posting them.

PS. You also gave me ideas for two threads in your post. :-)

[SAMWolf]

I figured I'd let Snippy sleep late one day of her trip and wanted her to be able to post the thread herself.

Looks like you and Darksheare were having fun, you guys cracked us up this morning.

We Didn't Sink the Bismarck


Way back in Ninteen-Forty Two or maybe Forty Three
We sailed with Captain Tuna, the Chicken of the Sea
We didn't sink the Bismarck, no matter what they say
Fer when we seen the German ships, we sailed the other way.

Oh! we didn't sink the Bismarck and we didn't fight at all
We spend our time in Norfolk and we really had a ball
Chasin' after women while our ship was overhauled
A-livin' it up on grapefruit juice and sickbay alcohol.

We saw torpedos comin' and we saw a periscope
We were full of fightin' spirit and our souls were full of hope
The captain yelled; "Now hear this!", He really flipped his lid
We haven't yet began to fight, what's more we never did.

Tony - our Italian cook was a-settin' on the deck
We wuz a-peelin' 'taters, we musta peeled a peck
The captain yelled; "Hey! Tony! Is that a U-boat I see?"
Tony says; "It ain't my boat, she's-a no belong to me!"

Then they made me a Frogman on the Demolition Team
I sunk a Battleship, a Cruiser and a Submarine
I blew up ammunition dumps, I did my best to please
I did it all before the Navy sent me overseas.

And now the war is over and our story can be told
About our Captain fighting and the young ones and the old
We stayed in San Francisco, away from the battle scene
We spent our time on Treasure Island a-fightin' the Marines.

Oh! we didn't sink the Bismarck and we didn't fight at all
We spend our time in Norfolk and we really had a ball
Chasin' after women while our ship was overhauled
A-livin' it up on grapefruit juice and sickbay alcohol.

All before being sent overseas..
