Not a good idea, now or at any time in the future. Presumably the final summons to the White House will go something like this:

Depends on what you're bringing to the table: 6 or 40, know what I'm sayin'?

Has Mr. Pogue mellowed over time? I remember him being so fucking annoying in the first few episodes after he took over that I stopped watching the show.

Er…No, K?

They've been just fine. You have a tin ear for wordplay.

Yeah, I don't know if the article does suggest that either Mr. Rock or the other gentleman really are no longer welcome at Waffle House. But in general, kids, "banned from Waffle House" is a really, really good time to start re-evaluating your life.

I certainly don't mind Snagglepuss being openly gay. But suggesting that we always knew so somehow, presumably on account of his mannerisms, is unhelpful stereotyping.

I had no idea this whole time! Poor Snagglepuss. He's like the fucking Hydrox of pink wildcats. I'm sure he's having a good stiff drink with Heathcliff at some cartoon milk bar somewhere.

Still hadn't forgiven the French for their occupation of the Papal States, huh?

I remember that! How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I believe it was called. Didn't have a damn thing to do with Kaufman; it just had enough travesty to catch about forty unrelated legacies in its orbit.

See, I like that kind of thing. I'm a hardcore TNG-DS9 man myself, but I do like a lot of the little details of the rougher, less "advanced" utopia that the earlier Trek brought to bear—probably for the most part due to the less "advanced" futurism invoked at its earlier time of creation. It probably would have been a…

The Really Rottens alone have to have about a dozen potential new Dark Age antihero reboots waiting to be put to ink.

I always figured Snuffy was bi and that whole invisibility thing was just a very tortured metaphor.

Do they actually have a code of conduct posted or something like some low-rent strip club (or a universally understood unspoken policy like one of them classy strip clubs I keep hearin' 'bout)? Really, I can't imagine that the whole thing is a much bigger deal for female employees than the average bar job (though that…

They are the kind of thing I have trouble imagining were even sexy in the 80s. I have always imagined that Hooters was popular in America's exurbia and such, though, places where you do not really get to see an endless parade of attractive young women in revealing costumes all the time.

Has anyone actually said this in fiction? I recall lots of awkward exposition I've seen over the years, but none really using that phrase or a variant, in or out of Trek.

This is true. Anyone who assigns any kind of inherent value to "following Gene's vision" has absolutely no business complaining about any level of "fanservice" that actually made it to the air in any portion of Trek. I do think that the average Trek fan holds said vision in far less importance than is commonly…

She did. She helped make that character one of the better things about that series. (Yes, you can all too clearly and tantalizingly see, in inevitable Voyager fashion, how it could have been much better. But at least in this case what it was wasn't a total shitshow. We'll take what we can get, fellow Voyager viewers.)

My God she was hot. (Although one of the worst characters in Trek history, and not one of the actors with the best attitude IRL.)

I am an openminded man who makes it a rule not to judge anyone else's sexual preferences, but I draw the line at seeing Harry Kim as a sex object. That is just sick and unnatural.
