Upvoto ergo sum!

The eczema on my hands has flared up again and may be spreading. Which is really annoying, but on the plus side it's a) controllable with over-the-counter lotion and b) not the goddamn bedbugs again.

TOS: Spock. Duh.
TNG: Worf. Expanded on below.
DS9: Quark. Funny, clever, and quick to call the rest of the cast on their bullshit. Plus, I like characters that enjoy being themselves, and Quark just seems to have the most fun.
Voyager: Ain't seen it.
Enterprise: Ain't seen it.
Discovery: Worf again (fingers crossed).

He's lying, Captain.

I'll second Worf. Honrable, straightforward, crack comic timing, and juuuuust not enough patience for the Federation's incessant preaching and philosophizing. I'm making my way through season 3 of DS9 right now, and I can't wait for him to show up in the next season. These Dominion rubes need a good old-fashioned

I'll have more work than usual the next couple of weeks. Hooray for additional money!

Let's not start that fight again, or at least not make another crappy movie out of it.

He's lucky Kiki's dream was such a direct metaphor. Another layer of abstraction and he'd be totally lost.

Finally, Steven gets to put his dreamwalking powers (again, this kid: alarmingly overpowered) to non-terrifying use. It's a good thing his neighbors are so unusually accepting of weird magic crap and that he's so well liked, because I think in most communities the news that a fourteen-year-old boy could wander into

Well, it's a dream, so he can do anything edam well pleases.

Hell, if he manages to get the whole Homeworld situation sorted out before he hits adulthood, he should look into becoming a psychiatrist. Being able to actually enter people's dreams and see their issues firsthand would be quite the asset.

For those keeping track (pretty much just me), this is the fourth article to be filed under "Democracy, The Ability To Work Thereof." Presumably not the last. Also, the third to be filed under "Nuts!"

My interminable job search is as frustrating as ever, but I've been making some progress on creative work. I finished another comic script just yesterday, and I think it may be getting good enough to be worth finding an artist for. But I don't have any money to hire someone, so I doubt there'd be many people

Have fun, Ahab.

Works for me.

I don't think so, but I have neither the means nor the inclination to actually check. This is the Internet, though, so someone will.

I recall both fry stands and pizza stands being available structures in Rollercoaster Tycoon, which is all the evidence I need.

I'll maintain the identical-twin hypothesis for the moment, on the grounds that it's funnier.

Yes, I too am very curious about Ronaldo's erstwhile paramour. I assume she's from out of town, since no one else seemed to know her and Beach City only has like a dozen people in it. I assume it was an Internet romance, for obvious reasons.

What, you think I'm only pretending to be a lizard person? Who are you, Bizarro David Ickes?
