[Zeke]

Welcome to Day 17. Lots of stuff today....
<ul>...starting with the Occupation Arc, which resumes today with Kira's "Favor the Bold (../ds9/fiver.php?ep=favorthebold)."
Second, Nic completes his pseudo-cliffhanger with "...And I Have Touched the Sky (../startrek/fiver.php?ep=andihavetouchedthesky)"
Next we have IJD with the midpoint of his second Starfract trilogy, Episode V: The Terran Campaign (../videogames/starcraft5.html).
Finally, here's another Top 10 list from Derek: The Top 10 Signs That You're In a Cliffhanger (../top10/74.html).
[/list]


Be here tomorrow for Day 18, when we can legally purchase tobacco... but will we?

[Scooter]

Your friend Cliff has just parked his airplane.
I just hurt myself facepalming, thanks.

[mudshark]

Dax: This is ridiculous, Ben! Are we really going to keep surrendering, endangering civilians, and running like little girls?
Sisko: No, and I really don't know what the Admirals were thinking with that strategy. We're going to retake Deep Space Nine or blow our special effects budget trying.
Dax: It's about time! What made up your mind?
Sisko: I have a sneaking suspicion that Dukat won't feed my fish. I want to get back there before they croak.
Dax: What about Jake?
Sisko: I'm pretty sure he can feed himself. Heh heh heh.
Jake: I know a way you can get your top secret message to Starfleet. I wrote a note to my dad on Morn's package.
Quark: Unconventional, but I suppose desperate times call for --
Jake: A package for his mother! Perverts.
Kira: Well, all right, as long as you think Morn can keep this quiet. *snicker*
Dukat: Ahh. Nothing like the sight of mine replication units being destroyed to make your day.
Weyoun: Yes, very nice.
Dukat: The window is over here.
Weyoun: Ah. Thank you. We Vorta have very weak eyesight, you know.
Dukat: Is that so? How many fingers am I holding up?
Weyoun: One, you bastard.
Dukat: I thought you said...
Weyoun: Oh, I didn't see it. I didn't need to. :mrgreen: :D
Female Shapeshifter: I said "Leave us alone." I need to speak with Weyoun. Go wait in your quarters.
Odo: Certainly.
Weyoun: Whap-tchh!
Female Shapeshifter: Did you just make the whip-cracking sound?
Weyoun: I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect.
Female Shapeshifter: Of course not. Here, have a Vorta Snack. OooOoo hoo hoo.

Running "Bite me" gag - :mrgreen:


Shiny tree frogs. Heh.
Spock: Read... the instructions...
Kirk: To disable... the Oracle... logically convince it to self-destruct. Oh, how very original.
Spock: Just... do it!
Kirk: Um... um... Episode II: Attack of the Clones!
Oracle: NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The Oracle's Message of the Day #4: GAK! :lol:


Stukov: Who are you, anyway?
Duran: I'm Samir Duran. But my friends call me Che. Like the beret?
Stukov: No.
Duran: Pfft. Some Russian you are.... Heheh.
Psi Disruptor: Not "Kaboom"!
Captain: Hooray!
DuGalle: Good work. It appears the Zerg forces are in disarray.
Captain: That means this last level will be a breeze, right?
DuGalle: I wouldn't count on it. You better hope for a cow level.
Captain: There is no cow level....
DuGalle: Exactly. *twitch*


And the number one sign that you're in a cliffhanger.... :twisted:


Good ones, all. :D Outta here for the weekend -- back Tuesday-ish. I'm guessing I'll probably have quite a bit to catch up on by then.

[evay]

He cliffhangered the bullet list! There's a bullet but no item! How meta-referential. 8)

[NAHTMMM]

Sisko: "Dominion deactivating minefield in two days. Stop. Reinforcements waiting on other side of the wormhole. Stop. Attempts at sabotage have failed. Stop. Recommend immediate offensive. Stop."
Ross: Your son must be a historian to write his messages in the style of old telegrams.
Sisko: It's not telegram style. Major Kira likes kicking people in the shins to make them write faster.
Heeheehee :D

Sisko: All right, men. We're about to set out on our mission. We may face many dangers, but I'm confident my baldness will see us through.
Heheh. Ripoff of Picard? ;)



Natira: I love you. I loved you from the first moment I saw you. 12.08 minutes ago. For a Space Italian woman who rides a warp bike, an eternity.
:D

Oracle's LiveJournal, entry #444447: People keep asking me questions about the nuclear-powered spaceship. If ANYONE asks me a question about the nuclear-powered spaceship again....
Natira: Hi, I just wanted to ask you again about the nuclear-powered spaceship.
(ZAP!)
Natira: GAK!
...I'm so going to kill that person. End journal entry.
:lol:

Kirk: To disable... the Oracle... logically convince it to self-destruct. Oh, how very original.
Spock: Just... do it!
Kirk: Um... um... Episode II: Attack of the Clones!
Oracle: NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
:D



Com Lady: Wrong. You're a different officer. You've come with the United Earth Directorate to invade Braxis
Won't the Flingons complain? ;)

DuGalle: Excellent. We will now begin our attack on Korhol. The desert planet. There you will either destroy the physics labs or the nuclear silos.
Captain: Can't you give a more decisive order than that?
DuGalle: Of course I can. DuGalle out.
:mrgreen:

DuGalle: I wouldn't count on it. You better hope for a cow level.
Captain: There is no cow level....
DuGalle: Exactly.
Heheh.



You're almost an hour into your problem and there doesn't seem to be any easy solution.
...Not that you've been watching the clock at all for the past twenty minutes.

EVIL ALIEN NAZIS!
And the number one sign that you're in a cliffhanger....



Heheheh, good stuff. :mrgreen:

[Kira]

Heheh. Ripoff of Picard?
I prefer to think of it as an hômage (http://www.fiveminute.net/nextgen/fiver.php?ep=encounteratfarpoint), but yes. The "surrendering, endangering civilians, and running like little girls" bit is from the "Encounter at Farpoint" parody too, and I also made a sideways reference to that line in the Battlestar Galactica fiver, if anyone noticed.

[Sa'ar Chasm]

and I also made a sideways reference to that line in the Battlestar Galactica fiver, if anyone noticed.

I noticed quite a number of Farpointy references in both.

Female Shapeshifter: Ahhh. Well, Odo? Was it good for you too?
Odo: I'm... not entirely clear on what just happened.
Female Shapeshifter: Don't worry about it. If it will make you feel better, we can observe a custom of the solids as well. Cigarette?

*snicker*

Sisko: ...and that's how we're going to retake Deep Space Nine. Any questions?
Martok: Why is the back of your head covered in spitballs?
Worf: It is a human custom before battle. At least, that is what Commander Riker always told us.

Hah!

Jake: I know a way you can get your top secret message to Starfleet. I wrote a note to my dad on Morn's package.
Quark: Unconventional, but I suppose desperate times call for --
Jake: A package for his mother! Perverts.

That clarification does not help at all.

Odo: I should have been helping you undermine the Dominion occupation. I'm sorry.
Kira: You certainly are.
Odo: Phew. I'm glad this rift between us is -- hey, wait a minute....

*g*

Natira: Dammit Jim, I'm a priestess, not a dominatrix!
McCoy: Ah... My kind of woman!

Who says she can't be both?

McCoy: (sigh) You nitwits. Which part of "Breaking into the Oracle's chamber is a horrible sacrilege and you will be punished by death" didn't you understand?
Kirk: Sacrilege.

*znerk*

McCoy: So, will putting this instrument under my skin hurt?
Natira: (takes out a gigantic needle) Yes. Very much!

Hah!

McCoy: Nooooo! My love, dead! My last chance of happiness, destroyed! And all my dreams, torn asunder!

Someone's been watching Babylon 5 (or possibly stealing from the same literary sources as JMS).

DuGalle: Now, your next mission is an invasion of the Dylarian shipyards. We must commandeer battlecruisers there, and --
Captain: Um... wouldn't it be easier to make our own?
DuGalle: Of course it would. Have fun, DuGalle out.
Captain: Nuts.

*snicker*

Captain: How about these Yamayto guns?
Duke: You mean Yamato?
Captain: Meh, yamayto/yamato.

Let's call the whole thing toast.

Mengsk: I'm afraid my command center will be quite operational when your petty fleet arrives....
Mengsk's Command Center: KABOOM!
Mengsk: Crap.

The best-laid plans of mice and Mengsk...

Stukov: Just avenge me already. There's only so long a dying man can talk before he finally croaks.
DuGalle: Good point, Trinity.

You'd be surprised how long that can be.

Psi Disruptor: Not "Kaboom"!
Captain: Hooray!
DuGalle: Good work. It appears the Zerg forces are in disarray.
Captain: That means this last level will be a breeze, right?

Not in the slightest. I don't think I made it past that level.

You're clutching the side of a mountain.
Your friend Cliff has just parked his airplane.
And he's strangling you with the metal thing he uses to hang his jacket.
He'll probably go to the gallows for it.

*wince*

If I ever manage to meet you, Derek, the first thing I'm going to do is kill you. :P

Also, I should have killed Marc when I had the chance.

[Xeroc]

Oh! I really like the number one sign you're in a Cliffhanger!


It was absolutely ...


To Be Continued...

[Nan]

Natira: Dammit Jim, I'm a priestess, not a dominatrix!
McCoy: Ah... My kind of woman!

Who says she can't be both?

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to shut up and take it. *whipcrack*"

If I ever manage to meet you, Derek, the first thing I'm going to do is kill you. :P

Also, I should have killed Marc when I had the chance.

See, you regret NOT killing just as much as killing. ;)

WOO! Cliffhanger Week is awesome!

[Opium]

Eee! I love Top Ten Lists, and the cliffhanger one was a great, great, great

[PointyHairedJedi]

No "AHHHHHH! CLIFF!"? I'm disappointed. Although number ten on that list litterally happened in one Doctor Who story, though it was one of the bizzarrest cliffhangers that Who has ever had.

Yeah yeah, the other stuff was good too I guess (spitballs, heh).
