I wonder more about *what* the next series will be, if anything, then when it will be. It seems like they've done everything now. Except maybe something around a different species, but I doubt they'd do that.

The next series, before anything else, will be accessable. Or it will fail.
That's the bottom line, and that's certainly how the studio is seeing it. I imagine, concept-wise, it won't be all-together different than TOS, TNG, and ENT. People on a ship.

I hope they learned that lesson. Accessability is crucial.

So, what, they'll be offering free wheelchair ramps with every pilot episode or something?

Even if they did, they'd probably clash with the rest of my stuff.

Will the wheelchair ramps be made of jello?

With or without fruit suspended in it?

Okay, you just may have stumped me. How do I turn that into a joke without treading on a LOT of toes?
Okay, here we go. Gas mask on, phasers on stun, Kevlar zipped up. A. Lutheranism aside, I am Minnesotan, and one stereotype (still basically applicable in farming communities, though not in the metro) is the use of exotic add-ons to Jello. B. For the record, I'm not Lutheran. I shouldn't be ashamed of saying what I am, but this is a public forum. E-mail for elaboration. C. I actually don't like Jello. The harder edges creep me out and I find them a little gross.

Didn't mean for it to become a big deal. I probably wouldn't have said anything at all if I hadn't recently read through a whole list of Lutheran jokes -- more than a few involving Jello (some with fruit and other bits suspended therein) -- passed to me by... that's right... a Lutheran.
Sorry. Forget any of it ever happened. (waves hand) You don't need to see his identification. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

The Jedi Mind trick can be very reliable. It really is amazing how many people there are in the real world that are so simple minded that a simple variant of the JMT will actually work. Not necessarily a hand wave, but more of a query about something in the distance that's absolutely inconsequential. The other person's mind will quietly follow this algorithm:
1. What in the distance? 2. What about it is important? 3. How does this apply to the current topic? 4. It doesn't, so he must mean something else. 5. Repeat 1-4 until all likely objects are rejected as the intended target. 6. Fail to come up with something clever. 7. Nod and smile, mumbling something positive. 8. Fail to recall original topic. Lather, rinse, repeat as needed.

FiveMinute forae is a somewhat condensed version of that. It explains why one must check the original page to figure out the point of the topic.
See how many jokes you can spot!

Q: What's a Minnesota Millionaire?
A: A Norwegian with a safe-deposit box full of lutefisk. An oldie but goodie.

You could apply most of that list to "old-school" Minnesotans.
In Minnesota we pronounce it "Luthrun." I can actually pronounce "Silent Night" in German. I once had a very zealous choir director. She made us sing in German and French as well as English. McLefsa. Groan. In case some of the viewers don't know what lefse is, it's basically rubbery pancakes rolled up in powdered sugar and butter. I'm simplifying.

Yeah. You don't know difficult singing until you sing it in a choir. I have no formal singing training, so even though people call me a "tenor" I have no idea what that really means. The choir director tried to teach me, but to me it sounded like she wanted me to sing off-key (at least off my personal key) in a foreign language (German and French) to an imaginary line of music (the tenor part). Maybe she should've just put a bow tie on me and made me juggle on a big rubber ball while she was at it.

All I know of Lutherans I have learned from Garrison Keillor.
