Looks like something he'd wear :-P

What about guns....do we know what guns she has?

[Kitteh-Dragon]

I prefer not to share that information, sorry.  Yeah, I can be paranoid :-)

I need a cunning hat. How much and can you make it of a fire resistant yarn?

[Perd Hapley]

Started on it.  It's pretty long :-)

I'll pass up the obvious joke.

I glanced at that thread when it first started, but haven't read it since.

[lee n. field]

Doesn't it go way way way further back than that 

I missed a lot of that stuff in the Sixties - I was listening to Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard, etc.

Way much farther back than that. 

[MillCreek]

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 :-)

And here I was hoping to mind meld Ms. MillCreek into thinking that we had become polygamous Mormons.

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

Babylon 5 (despite the fact that the IA turned into a big space UN with teeth.)

[MillCreek]

For some reason, I never got into Babylon 5.  I see it is not available on streaming Netflix so I can give it another whirl.  Bummer.

 recursion /n./  See recursion. See also tail recursion.

hulu, I think, has some of it.

I honestly don't know what she charges for them.  Fire resistant yarn?  And here I've been trying to figure out how to make them out of *detcord* ;-)

I don't sell them.  I give them to friends, or I give them to the friend who sells them at her booths at cons, with the money going to charity.

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*! :-)

Hey COOL!  I go back to the original Trek as well.  Enjoy it even on DVD these days -- despite the fact the special effects budget was $2.69 + tax.  Still think the original phasers were hands down superior to "The Next Generations'" 'dustbuster' phasers.

And I like the Irwin Allen stuff as well. 
I remember Gordon Dickenson, of course Edgar Rice Burroughs.  And Asimov - - don't forget him.  Although not everyone liked him.'
And Martin Caidin was another favorite.

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.

They have weaknesses!

Soooo, +1?

I have a *very* basic one.  And it uses rather more garish colors than I think appropriate - but I had to match the others my friend is making.  Lemme see ... Here's the website.  She'll have to play with it for gauge and pick out her own colors :-)

I tend to uh, catch on fire on a regular basis...

Silly boy, you don't wear it on duty.

I think you're just worried your stalker might try to set fire to your head.

Didn't you tell us you regularly caught something else at work?  Brown, I think you said it was.

stay safe.

The correct answer is "Guns? I used to own guns, until the boating accident..." 

Then you give them the thousand yard stare.
