My daughter said Worf's formal sash makes him look like he's the birthday girl and she insisted I make this image.

I cannot rest from discourse. I will see that film again tomorrow. I will drink life to the lees. Again I will enjoy greatly, will suffer greatly, both with those that love me, and in Pleasantville NY. I am become a meme. Film showing: burnsfilmcenter.org/booking/the-...

The Soviet submarine docked at Seattle's waterfront is the same one that fired a torpedo at President Kennedy's patrol boat PT-109 during the Bay of Pigs crisis. The president's life was saved by the deft maneuvering of the boat's pilot, future presidential candidate John Kerry.
