Fleet Admiral
So, back in 2006, I had a catastrophic external hard drive crash/failure and lost three years of work, fun, images, photoshop fun, video, music, all of it.
Today, I have roughly 114 of the 200GB hard drive restored, thanks to the efforts of a fellow poster here.
It is because of this recent retrieval of data that I can turn on my very own WayBack machine and re-post one of the very first TrekBBS Celebrity Jeopardy editions I wrote back then, simply copied'n'pasted from the very word file it was saved to nearly four years ago. Apologies for the dead links.
For all you newbies who weren't around, it probably won't make much sense or seem that funny.... but for you old soldiers, it should ring some bells.
Enjoy.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Welcome back to TrekBBS Celebrity Jeopardy. Once again, I’d like to apologize to all the Browncoats for what happened in our last round. That said, let’s introduce this week’s contestants. Insert_Name_Here, holding a commanding lead with -$5,000.00.
SJ: How many times do I have to tell you, my name is President SJ of the 12 Colonies?
DOUBLEOHFIVE: For the last time, you have to be elected to be President.
SJ: Not if everyone else died!
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Charming. Good luck in ’08. Our next contestant should be no stranger to our audience as he is one of our most prolific posters. With an impressive negative $45,000 please welcome Treker4747.
TREKER4747: Thanks, Doubleohfive. I’d just like to say, Serenity was the best gorram movie of all time! That, and those are some mighty fine looking ladies on your staff there.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: I know. Thank you. Moving on…
TREKER4747: interrupts Seriously. That one that looked like Jewel Staite…
DOUBLEOHFIVE: If you say so, Treker. Next up we have our returning champion, with an amazing $14.00 everyone’s favorite Flordian, Frontline… Doubleohfive shields his eyes
Good GOD man! You’re not wearing any clothes!
FRONTLINE: That’s right, Doubleoh. I’m the Other Naked Mod. Coaster and I just shot a low-rent movie down in Tampa called The Naked Mods: Two Nude Rude Dudes With ‘Tude. Look for it at your local MVC. BlackDog and SPOCKED even shot a cameo for it.
SJ: Sounds like porn to me.
FRONTLINE: Hey, do I judge you?
TREKER4747: Porn? Where?
SJ: It doesn’t involve any orange cars.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: *coughs loudly* Getting back on topic… lets take a look at the board. Today’s categories are: Potent Potables, Fan Films, Moderators Shaped Like Starfish, Things that rhyme with “Attlestar”, TrekBBS Celebrity Posters, Shiny Things, and Movies featuring the Jedi. Frontline, as our champion, the board is yours.

*Frontline buzzes in*
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Frontline.

*buzzer sounds*
TREKER4747: Who is Mal Reynolds.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: No, I’m sorry the correct answer was T’Bonz. Tuh-Bonz. SJ, please make a selection.

DOUBLEOHFIVE: No. No. No! You people are pathetic!
SJ: (*to Frontline*): I think doubleoh might be a Cylon.
FRONTLINE: Cylon eh? Think he’d want to be in the movie with me and Coster?
TREKER4747: Hey Frontline, I’d be in your movie…
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Back to the game at hand… since all of you are clearly more interested in your own worlds, I’ll pick the next category. Lets go with Celebrity Posters for $800. The answer is, “This poster’s name rhymes with “Blatna”

DOUBLEOHFIVE: No. Anyone else? All right, forget this. We’re moving to Final TrekBBS Jeopardy. Today’s Final Jeopardy topic is “Even using it I can’t find it” Our final jeopardy question is, you know what, just write whatever you want. Even using it you can’t find it. It could be ‘a clue’ if you all want an easy answer. Or maybe Treker, you could write in “spellcheck” Ok time’s up. Let’s see how everyone did. Frontline, you look pleased.
FRONTLINE: I had to pee. So I did.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Lovely. Let’s see what you wrote. “Clothes” Fascinatingly appropriate. Your wager? Ah, $5,000. Excellent you’ve brought yourself back to zero.
FRONTLINE: You better believe it hombre.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Moving on. SJ, you’re frowning! Whats wrong?
SJ: I misunderstood the question. You told me to write whatever I wanted so I wrote this [Image of a Jeopardy screen reading "LYNX IS A WANKER"]
DOUBLEOHFIVE: He is, isn’t he? And you wagered $10,000. That brings you to $5,000. Congratulations. But, since that response would be considered flaming, I’ll have to cancel out that $5,000. Sorry.
SJ: I’ll be on Galactica making out with AdamaJ if anyone needs me.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Swell.
FRONTLINE: You know, if we get a camera we just might be able to cut you into Two Nude Rude Dudes With ‘Tude!
SJ: No thanks.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Lovely. Finally, we come to Treker4747.
TREKER4747: We gotta hurry. The General Lee is double parked.
DOUBLEOHFIVE: Fine. Your answer was… “The Search Feature” I don’t get it.
TREKER4747: Ya see, how does one search for the search function when it’s been disabled? I don’t know. But I do know we need it back. Reminds me of a movie I saw once. Have you ever heard of Sere---
DOUBLEOHFIVE: And that’s all the time we have here on Celebrity Jeopar---
TREKER4747: SERENITY!!! NOW!!!!
DOUBLEOHFIVE: If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the Admirals Lounge. Flirting with Dama and KitKat. Good night!
