But Hasselhoff did his before Marvel 'rebooted' Fury :-)  I'm not dissing Jackson's Fury -- they're, just, different guys.  You could *believe* Hasselhoff's *might* have come out of WWII :-)  Jackson is all kinds of awesome.

I loved Jackson's *expletive deleted*ing Fury ( AND THAT would be the awesome band name) but when Cap teamed up with some Howlers, I did have a pang of disapointment in the whole redo situation.

Furthermore, I'll take Jackson over the Hoff in ANY role.

The female of the species is more deadly than the male   

And around here, we tend to be better armed as well

If she is into SF, she has not yet answered a key question: Star Wars or Star Trek?  And her favorite SF author.

[280plus]

Oh, we're an "assortment" all right. 

[RocketMan]

Has Kitteh-Dragon read the "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee - Tales from the Apocalypse" thread yet?  I think that should be a requirement for membership beyond a probationary period.

[Kitteh-Dragon]

Started on it.  It's pretty long :-)

Huh, she's not yet run screaming into the night.  Either she's got ovaries the size of a M1 Abrams, or she's made of some stern stuff......


Welcome to the nuthouse forum!

[Scout26]

I think the true measure is Firefly.

[Tallpine]

something I grew up on (older brothers.  **Much** older brothers :-) )

Oh, yeah - sure 

 

[Kitteh-Dragon]

Oh, gosh.  Depends, there are so many permutations!

OK - I'm older than dirt.  I watched the first ep of Star Trek (OS) when it was broadcast, and have loved it ever since.  Next Gen is great.  Never got into Voyager.  DS9 sort of went off into la la land for me after a few years.  I enjoyed Enterprise (was a Quantum Leap fan, so Scott Bakula in a Star Trek thingy was a double win).  But it seemed to go weird there toward the last, too.

I also (see above, "Dirt: older than") saw the first ever Star Wars when it came out.  Enjoyed them immensely for what they were.  And love the music.  The later released 'installments'?  Not so much.  And Jar Jar Binks is an abomination to the Universe, IMHO ;-)

Do I *have* to have *one* favorite SF author?  ::whimper::  I mean, some of them are really good friends of mine!  You expect me to *choose*?!  Hmmm...

I enjoy MilSF.  And 'Space Opera'.  I will not tolerate dystopian defeatism.  So, in no particular order whatsoever:

Robert A Heinlein (in a class all his own.  Though I didn't go so far as Sarah A Hoyt a give birth to my first born son on his birthday and name him 'Robert Anson'! :-D But I might have if I'd have thought of it!!!)

Tom Kratman
Sarah A Hoyt
John Ringo
Andre Norton (only her early stuff.  After Witch World she went really, really woo woo and I am *very* picky about which of hers to read after that)
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Dave Freer
David Weber
David Drake
Terry Prachett
Keith Laumer
Jerry Pournelle
Philip K. Dick
Gordon R. Dickenson

And, in the interests of full disclosure - I *do* beta read for more than one of them who are still, thank God, among us and writing!  So, please, don't make me pick *one*! :-)

My hubby wanted to know what I was laughing out loud at.  I showed him.  Quoth the hubby, "Tell 'em "Try harder, guys"" :-D

Love this! :-D

Dear Kitteh-Dragon:

We are approximately the same age, and I also remember seeing TOS, Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Time Tunnel, etc. on my parent's B&W TV.

We also share tastes in SF and authors.

Please stop by and marry me if you are ever in the Seattle area.  

Thank you.

Now that's a bald proposal if I ever saw one

Now all I have to do is some sort of Vulcan mind meld on the current Ms. MillCreek so that she forgets Kitteh-Dragon's visits to the area.

Boys, control yourselves. Y'all act like you've never seen a real girl before and you don't want to scare this one off like you scared the last couple who dropped by.

Welcome K-D! I could use some 9mm and any old lager (because I'm NOT a beer snob, unlike many around here).

And while the boys have their rules about what you have to like and not like, BlueStarLizzard, LadySmith, and I only have a few. 1) We do not make sammiches for the boys unless they've EARNED them. 2) We do not cook bacon for them unless they've EARNED it. 3) When they misbehave, we throw shoes, grenades, or live ammo at them, using whatever tools are handy. 4) We girls do not exploit each other's weaknesses unless it's just damn funny or the opportunity is too good to pass up or there is nothing more interesting going on.

Stick around - this is a good bunch of screwballs folks.

No, I insist on Firefly. That's always a requirment.

And so far, not one of them has EARNED bacon. Just sayin'

[Kitteh-Dragon]

Quite the nicest offer I've had in a long time! Thank you!  But, hubby and I have been happily married for 25 years, and intend to keep on making each other laugh and be loved as long as possible :-)

WOOT!  My kind of place!  Thank you!!!!  Your ammo, your beer - and a case of old shoes for throwing :-)

OK.  Captain Tight pants is awesome.  But I prefer Adam Baldwin.  Oh, DANG!  I left Larry Correia off my 'favorite SF authors list'!!!  Because his "Stranger & Stranger" short stories he posts on his blog with Adam Baldwin are *awesome*.  And I enjoy his Monster Hunter and Grim Noir series, too.

Sorry.  Firefly - love it.  Have it in DVD *and* Blueray.  And 'Serenity' in both.  :-)

Oh - I knit Jayne Cobb hats for sale at cons, with the money going to charity (have a friend who sells them.  I just send them to her).  

No, I insist on Firefly. That's always a requirment.

I can't believe I left *Larry Correia* off the list!  Sorry.  Insufficient caffeine!

Wait, sorry.  I misread this.  I thought you meant "Bury my heart at **Kent State** - Tales from the Apocalypse".  Is there a different one with "Wounded Knee"?

Has Kitteh-Dragon read the "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee - Tales from the Apocalypse" thread yet?  I think that should be a requirement for membership beyond a probationary period.

[Pharmacology]

You should review become intimately familiar with:

Firefly
Zardoz
Monty Python
The Big Bang Theory
All of Robert Heinlein's work
Atlas Shrugged
External ballistics

Not necessarily in that order

BAPZANGO!!

I was just seeing if you are on your toes.  Yeah, that's it, that's my story.
