...and then Spock killed Mr. Rourke with a NERVE PINCH
1999-12-10 00:40:47
So I was watchin' that Star Track movie the other day, "Star Track II: The Grapes of Wrath of Khan," and I was wonderin', whatever happened to that feller who was Khan in that, who also used to be Mr. Rourke on the Fantasy Island? So imagine my suprise when upon reading the newspaper, I found out that Khan has a whole new career in San Francisco, sculpting statues of people like Donny Osmond!
You see, that wily Mr. Khan, far from bein' blown up by the Death Star like what happened in the Star Track, is now workin' for the San Francisco Wax Museum, and sculptin' statues of the big stars like Donny. Some of the other famous Hollywood celebrities Khan has sculpted include Marie Osmond (because what good exactly is Donny without Marie?), Leonardo Dicrapio, and the Kate Winslet who was naked in the Titanic movie. Also he made a statue of Willie Brown.
Apparently folks are quite impressed with Mr. Rourke's sculpting abilities. He's been given high marks for his "lifelike hair," and the thickness of Donny Osmond's nostrils. I hope he makes a statue of Spock.
Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure Khan died in that Star Track movie. What the hell?

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

All this talk about death, wakes and Moloch recently has, frankly, got me a little worried. What if I'm next to go?

Who will talk for me when this terrible day comes? (More...)
