This is a bunch of bull. I'm watching an episode of Star Trek Voyager (my least favorite Star Trek) and my least favorite character (the doctor) made a family. His daughter dies in this episode and I'm crying. I swear I'm starting to get boobs. I don't know what's going on, must be my time of the month or something. I'm emotional and I don't want to be.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Is that the one where the son hangs out with those Klingons?
 
Get out of my state, woman.
 
awww.. sorry you're feeling weepy, trib. want to go shopping later? maybe get a manicure? c'mon, I swear it will make you feel better. we can stop by Godiva afterwards and get some chocolate truffles.
 
I'll donate my box of left over Puffs, it has dancing bears on it...that will surely cheer you up!

hmmm by any chance did you watch the skateing show again last night?
 
I think his testosterone shot wore off and he's going through withdrawal (he's needed those shots ever since that accident o:) at The Suggestion Box that left his boys in the pickle jar on the shelf :rolleyes:).
 
Ice skating?

Oh, the show just got here last night actually. I like it much better than "Dancing With the Stars," I may even watch it!

What the hell? Your like the most insensitive person on these forums and your crying over Star Trek? Man, I use to have respect for you, but now...

The only reason I'd watch Star Trek: Voyager is to either see a cool space battle or stair at Jerry Ryan's rack. Damn, those are some nice melons... What was I talking about?

I am not insensitive. I think I am probably one of the most sensitive people here. Only towards a core group of people. You have to prove you are going to stick around and are worth my affection before you get it. Once you get it though I am relentless in your defense. I think most of my insensitive remarks are aimed at people who have said something about one of my friends or about PF in general.

That's very true. (Tell me you don't watch "Dancing with the Stars"). :bugeye:

I don't watch dancing with the stars, regularly. I have seen dancing with the stars. I figured out that I don't like watching the dancing, I just like seeing people judged. That's why I watch all those kinds of shows I think. I want someone to win and someone else to fail. I wish I could get graded in everyting I do. I need confirmation that I am as awesome as I think I am. That's why I look for lols and lmaos. I'm sure this is a character flaw, but I like hearing "Wow, you are the best."

Cruel...Now you know trib would be supportive of us. We just have to maintain a safe distance from him so we don't get blown up.
