I vaguely remember a story from elementary school about a soldier in the American Revolution who couldn't march properly because he didn't know left from right. He was a farm boy, so a friend stuck a bit of hay in one of his boots and a bit of straw in the other. The story was called "Hay-foot, Straw-foot."

I, Mudd: Harry Mudd, now ruler of a planet of androids, captures the Enterprise and attempts to imprison Kirk for revenge. Not quite. The androids are keeping him prisoner and he wants Kirk and his crew to take his place.

"Stella, Dear.", says Harry. And at the end (spoiler alert from 48 years ago): "Stella, shut up!" She keeps yammering, then is joined by another. And another. And another. Harry notices that one of them has the number 500 on her neck and begs Kirk for mercy.

Fine, no one wants to guess... I might have gotten it if I'd read the question before you gave the answer. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Fine, no one wants to guess... Well, in fairness, I did wait like 11 Hours before posting the answer... :-O How much time did one need to guess Apple ][ and ][-e??? If I remember right, my ][-e actually had a 6502-B processor... The original ][ had the 6502. God, I miss the games Lode Runner and Castle Wolfenstein. TL TimeLord04 Have TARDIS, will travel...

Not sure if the international members will get my Freedom in response to Fries. In 2003, when France opposed going to war in Iraq, the U.S. took the next logical step: its House of Representatives' cafeterias stopped serving French fries. They served "freedom fries" instead. ![]() |

Fine, no one wants to guess... It was a lot longer than 11 hours between when I last posted in that thread (or any other) and when I came back and read this thread. I have Lode Runner for Windows, a really fancy version with like 20 or more levels. Gave myself good hand and wrist cramps over it.
