So as I was saying before I went missing for the summer, ``Boy, it's nice to think I'll be settling back into a normal routine without my laptop spontaneously dying over the course of twenty minutes and then my going into a whirlwind of week-plus trips spaced by barely enough time to get back...

So ... I understand why in the Prime Universe the successor USS Enterprise got an NCC-1701-A designation. It'd been the center of a major controversy, a cadre of its officers had just saved the Earth from an extinction-level event, and they apparently had a duplicate to spare and kind-of...

Inspired by listening to the Greatest Generation podcast review of Time's Arrow ... Once tossed back into the 19th Century, why didn't Data try contacting the Enterprise team on his communicator? And when Picard and company went back, why didn't they signal to him? Granted Data might have...

Hi all, and welcome to what's going to probably be the last of my Caption Competitions before I have to do some boring administrative changes in how my host is set up. I don't know whether this will break stuff, or how, but what I can say is: I'm surely about three weeks away from vanishing for...

First, I'd like to thank everyone in the group for being here. I once again let the competition run longer than I wanted to. I'd had a heck of a couple months, and losing the time to spend on TrekBBS was the least bad part of it. On the bright side, I finished the Michigan State Pinball...

Hello all and thanks for sticking around as November turned into another of those blindingly busy months. The height of it would be my getting to that Thanksgiving parade which got an actual thunderstorm squall dumped on it. I don't know if there's video of it on the Internet but if you can...

As we come to the end of the month I'm sure the question has crossed everyone's minds here: will I get through the end of Season One before we all get to the end of Year 2016? I'm not making any promises, but I do point out that 2016 is extra-long what with it having a Leap Day and a Leap...

I'm not looking to alarm anyone. But I do wish to bring you, for Caption Competition #111, the winners! Winning the 'Thinking Ahead' prize for the week: Reminding us that Naming Planets is hard and serious business this week: Winning the 'This Is A Real Problem, Especially On The...

I'd like to congratulate everyone for making it to this most special day: the 50-year anniversary of the previous Caption Contest starting! I know, I know. It's been a surprisingly busy summer and something had to give, and as fun as it is hanging out here it was also the best of bad options...

And now we've passed through the annual Glitch Where My Server Name Isn't Renewed Quite Right. And after a few days taken to clear that up we can look to the winners of the last Caption Competition. As I make them out, using Marquis of Queensbury rules, they were: Winning the trophy for...

OK, I think that I'm now out of excuses. I've got familiar enough with the way the New TrekBBS System works that I shouldn't have weird formatting glitches. I've got access to my server that shouldn't have its annual registration glitch for another couple weeks. And I'm not caught up in a...

Hi, all. I want to try something a little new, a little different, a little out-there compared to the normal pleasant goings-on in these parts. First of all I figure on awarding prizes to these people who captioned the last thread, which began sometime in early 1998, before...

No apologies; who's got the time for them? Clearly I don't. I haven't even seen the site redesign yet and what the heck is this all about? Yikes. All right. I don't handle radical change yet well. I don't even know that this is working but I'm trying not to give in and switch to the old...

Hi again all and welcome to the next round of Enterprise Caption Competitions. I had a little trouble getting the next round of stills ready, because for all there is to talk about in Dear Doctor it's surprisingly hard to find pictures that look goofy in that really good Caption-This! way. But...

I must start again with apologies. I didn't intend to leave this or any thread running unattended so long. I especially didn't intend to abandon TrekBBS for something like a month. All I can plead is that my schedule got busier than I expected, faster than I expected, and I had to pick...

Hi again all. Sorry to have let this thread run long, but it's been a busy month and long story short I was not stabbed in the parking lot of a Connecticut amusement park. I'm sure many of you can accurately make the same claim. There's a lot of line-jumpers at Lake Compounce is all. Quassy...

Hi again folks and welcome to the 103rd, or thereabouts, installation in the Caption Competitions. And again I want to thank everybody who's put up their riffs. And to answer the question on everyone's mind: no, there really isn't a picture of T'Pol making a face that I won't think worthy of...

Headsup for folks in the southeastern Michigan/northern Ohio area: the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor is playing Star Trek: The Motion Picture as part of its Summer Classic Film series. It's to run Sunday the 9th and Tuesday the 11th of August...

OK, so two weeks was a bit of an optimistic projection. I had computer problems, I'm sorry. Also pinball league. Nothing serious. I didn't play the Star Trek 2013 table in league play, although I did have a personal record on the most recent code patch that was pretty satisfying. Also a...

Hello again all, and I apologize for vanishing. May turned out to be a busier month than I imagined, and I just had to let my TrekBBS social obligations drop while I tended other things. On the bright side this gave people the time for a lot of very fine captions and Photoshop manipulations...
