Phones should be multi-taskers.

Still waiting for my shoe phone.

I've seen something similar to that in the past.

How Buddhist! Nothing says "detachment from worldly concerns" quite like a gold-covered phone.

Yeah, but did you even listen to Edith Keeler's speech? It embodied the ideals of the Federation. She was right. She was right decades and centuries too soon. Too much unfinished business to get sorted out before those ideals could grow and bloom.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking...

This whole conversation makes me think we need a Top Ten worst Star Trek episodes.

If you are a certain age (like me aka old ... really, really old) that third Xelibri phone reminds you of both birth control pill holder and the compact communicator phone thing used by Lady Penelope on "Thunderbirds".

I saw this and thought "I wonder how many Marlboro Miles" it took to earn this.

Gotta disagree. "Spock's Brain" isn't even the worst TOS episode. Are we forgetting "Turnabout Intruder"? Or "The Alternative Factor"?

The first mobile phones were strange and awesome.

It's like they're trying to disguise a cellphone as a contraceptive pill holder. I could maybe see doing the opposite, but . . . ?

'The Trouble with Tribbles' was rated far too low, IMO. Top ten for sure.

I am so fucking jealous!

I saw that once. And, as you point out, nobody saw me sobbing openly. There were two baby bunnies. TWO OF THEM. NURSING. RIGHT THERE IN OUR BACKYARD.

That sounds incredible! And I don't know you, but I love you. Because anyone who has this reaction to a baby elephant so close to them is a good person.

I did that when I saw a baby bunny nurse because it was the fucking cutest thing I have ever seen. No one saw me cry so I am still a badass.

I managed to go to South Africa for the first time back in May. There was a park I drove through, and I wound up driving through a herd of elephants. Amazing.
