Speaking as humble cop, it’s a good ticket, but the Brunt of their support comes from other Combses. The Weyou-negotiate an election needs a broader base. Look at the Agi campaign of 2020; people said after the debates Agimus-t shore up his support, instead it Shran-k. So far the Combses have run a good campaign but hardly the crème-de-la-Krem; they need to Plek-ate their critics. Anyway, I Tiron this subject, better get back to busting that sci-fi writer Benny’s chops. Yours, Officer Kevin Mulkahey

If we’re talking extinguished timelines the Year of Hell Janeway would like a word. (Unless…did you erase her for the glory of the Krenim Imperium?)

That’s a half-myth it seems. There was a write in campaign from the fans to rename the then tentatively named Constitution (in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the US Declaration of Independence), to Enterprise. At the same time, Gerald Ford had the final say, and he himself served aboard the famous WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise (CV-6). It would appear that there is a confluence of two wishes to lead to the test vehicle being finally officially named the Enterprise. Certainly of recent years, NASA has seemed happy to not dispel that story though.

Some interesting tid-bits here though. The NCC-1701 was early on going to be named the USS Yorktown. Yorktown-class was the ship class of the CV-6 Enterprise. While we all know that the ship class of the NCC-1701 was the Constitution-class.

So, it’s my belief therefore that, in our timeline and Star Trek’s timeline, American men of a certain age seem to be obsessed with the symbolism of three particular names; and no matter what, the Shuttle would have been Enterprise in both.

Total happenstance! One of their workshops is right next to mine, and I walked past one morning and spotted a prop I recognised. I poked my head round the door and asked if it was what I thought and between various people being astonished that I had recognised it, they told me they were just starting the build and how to take a little peek. It was only half finished but it was really really cool nonetheless!

Fun fact: The cockney rhyming slag for Cunt is Berkshire Hunt. This is also the root phrase for Berk; a gentle term, commonly used by old women in the UK to call people fools. “That Dave is such a berk!” As most people don’t know the origin of the word, it’s funny how many times you’ll hear someone called a Berk in a year, by people not realising it means Cunt.

I get that this is just your opinion, but you’re expressing it in such a negative and snarky way that you’re coming across as plain rude.

See I’m sure that’s some of what I’m remembering, but at least when I played Klingon about 2007 it didn’t seem to be the same game.

(Btw, the Acti Zork games are acted DVD graphical adventures, unlike their text based precursors. Worth a go if you can. )
