Fearing a "this is racist" outcry, I put it here. If you think it belongs elsewhere, that's cool with me. I was being cautious.

Were the Ferengi really modeled after the Chinese? LOL. I...have a...weird thing for...Quark. Quark *and* Odo. Hmmm, maybe Quark and Odo together...heh. No, not that. But they were a funny odd couple. I wish I saw more DS9. Alas, I cannot afford the DVDs.

I thought the Ferengi were supposed to be Jews.

I thought they were supposed to be fictional aliens ;)

One friend of ours has called the Chinese the "Jews of the East" - so there you go...

Don't worry! I'm sure the CDC can help you! It might be a while- there's this bird flu thingy going on right now, but I'm just sure they'll help you!


(You're not, like, doing that dysentary thing, or such, are you? Can a person purchase quinine O.T.C.? Or is that malaria?)

So, anyone ever try mixing tonic water and tequila? Anyone...?

I had a friend in college who mixed Tequila with Bong water... not quite the same thing, is it?

Hmmm...I dunno, Matt. Didi they inhale through the tequila, using it as bong water, or did they actually mix bong water and tequila, then drink? (Insert puke smilie here).
