THOSE UNIFORMS!!!

...the uniforms are a bone of contention since they feature the Delta insignia. At this point, the Delta was exclusively the Enterprise's logo, and was not taken on by all of Starfleet as the main insignia until after Kirk's 5-year mission...about 15 years from this show.

I'm also bothered by the lack of colour-coded departments. It's one of my favourite things in the Trek universe...and it's in play on Pike's Enterprise in the same timeline of this show (See: The Cage)....so why it's not being used here is baffling.

Just back from a Tarte Flambee restaurant with an all you can eat option. Awesome in a group. We had nearly all kinds

Only disadvantage. You only get a new one you have finished the current one. So one has to do the sacrifice and eat the rest if something is left and no one wants it. I never want to see a Tarte Flambee with Nutella and bananas again ...

In the broadest sense. I guess the Alsatians would get crumpy if call it a pizza
The dough is thinner, no tomato sauce is used, cheese is also not always needed, but creme fraiche in most cases, the topping is fewer, but you can eat a lot more of it and the different tastes can be crazy, especially in the case of the sweet ones. Had one with vanilla ice cream and hot rasperies.

Do they still host that at the Marriott by the airport? Last time I went was probably like 2002...but it was fun.

Hot weather, first game of the new outdoor season tonight, and my hangover was gone by noon.

Many reasons to appreciate life right now.

Fun drunken evening playing video games, board games and Cards Against Humanity with my gf, two of my siblings and their partners

One round of CaH proved it's not just what's on the cards but the delivery that makes it truly hilarious, cause I was laughing so hard I nearly threw up

Three day week coming up. And the little bubbaloo is 1 on Friday. Which is really fucking weird.

This is all true. It should also be noted that knowing someone's particular funny bone helps immensely with the laugh factor as well. I have a few friends that know EXACTLY the right way to make me laugh till I cry with a card. Man, I love that game!

Yay! Congrats on the year celebration. Time goes so fast!

I am finding it hard to believe that our little one is over 9 months already....and has enough personality (read: sass) to be put on a swing-set for the first time and give her mother the most withering look imaginable!

I played Telestrations this weekend and it's also a lol-funny game. It combines Telephone (not sure what it's called outside America, it's the game where you pass on a word or phrase along a chain of people and see what it morphs into at the end) and Pictionary. You get this notepad and a word/phrase, and then the chain alternates between drawing and guessing (by writing) the phrase until it gets back to the original person. Wish I took some pictures to show how my original "Soccer Mom" drawing turned into "Bowling Baby" by the end.

Telephone is called 'Chinese Whispers' in Australia. We're a real culturally sensitive bunch here.

Also here in England!

Nevermind...

Australian variation
A game very similar to Chinese handball is still very popular in Australian schools, where it is known simply as "handball". Some schools even have specially designed handball courts, which are divided into one-and-a-half meter or two-meter squares.

The Australian version of the game has enough variation to be considered on its own merits. Historically, as the wall version was mainly introduced through primary and secondary schools, despite its incredible popularity from the 1950s to 1970s in countries like Australia and New Zealand, it has experienced a gradual demise in many sections of these and certain other countries since those times. This 'trend' seemed to be more the result of a changing policy by education itself rather than a conscious decision made by young people, to "update" and build new and alter existing schools to include narrow paths and garden beds of various kinds around the perimeters of the school walls. Thus this newer policy prevented the playing of this game against the wall in many instances.

Nevertheless, with such a great number of different games and activities now being referred to as "handball" and with the advent of the quite different Olympic game of same name, in order to reduce confusion, the wall handball game in Australia (previously also called "downball" - which also carries other versions) is currently under some consideration for a name change to "Rebound Handball" by one of the game's former associations in Australia, the Victorian Downball-Veeball Association, though this has not yet come to full fruition at this stage.
